ANNOUNCES BOR RE-ELECTION.
We are glad to announce in this is
sue of the Independent the candidacy
of R. W. Bandy for re-election to the
office of circuit clerk and recorder.
This is good news to the citizens of
Jackson county. “Uncle Dick,” as
he is familiarly called by every one,
has made one of the best officers
ever elected in this county. He has
served the county as sheriff, as
clerk and deputy clerk, and is thor
oughly familiar with all the records,
forms and machinery of the county
and the rules of the courts.
Every one of his administrations is
an open book, and a recommendation
for any office to which he may as
pire. His asking election for a second
term as circuit clerk is at the earnest
solicitation of his many friends, who
point to the records of his present as
well as former administrations, with
the knowledge that if he is re-elected,
the office will be in good hands and
properly looked after.

SMALL FIRMS IRE
IN HIT REMIND
Small Piece of Ground Will Support
Large Family and “Then Some”
At Present Prices.
There never has been a time in the
history of our country when farming,
in both a large and small way, has
paid such good returns.
A man with only a few acres of
land can support a good-sized family
and lay aside a “nest egg” now with
the present prices of food, vegetables,
eggs, poultry and dairy products.
From the present indications it
will be up to Uncle Sam to feed the
world for sometime to come, which
insures the man who raises food
stuff a ood price for everything he
can produce on the farm.
A five acre farm now devoted to
raising vegetables will pay large di
vidends, to say nothing of the egg
and poultry industry.
The subdividing and sale of the
Jones farm at Diaz and the Taggart
farm at Newvort will fill a long-felt
want and enable the man with limited
capital to secure a desirable small
farm, well located, on reasonable
terms.
