PATTERSON IS A To the Voters of Jackson Ceunty: The undersigned begs to announce his candidacy to succeed himself m tho office of county commissioner for the ensuing term, and in doing so begs to submit this statement to the voters of the ceunty: There has been considerable talk to the effeCt that I would not again be a candidate for the jwsition, nnd this talk has not beeu without some foundation; but I believe that there is no improvement constructed with public funds that returns as much to the average taxpayer as that of good roads. I am deeply interested in the matter of good roads. This ques tion, together with the importunities of many people interested in public affairs, has caused me to again an nounce my enndidncy for the position of counts commissioner. Many of the voters of the county may perhaps remember the condition of the roads of the county ten years ago, and when this fact is taken into consideration and the condition of the roads of the county at present considered, tho unbiased judgment will be that the money spent on the roads of the county in their con struction and improvement has not been "entirely wasted." When I first became commissioner there was no road machinery or equipment for road construction. There is now on hand a comparative ly complete equipment of road ma chinery and tools. It is no small item to secure good road machinery and the kind necessary, and it is not out of the way to say that tho first road machinery purchased by the county under ray recommendation is still in use and employed on the roads of the county. Tho-e who arc acquainted with the facts and tho salary connected wjth the office, know thnt a great amount of sacrifice of time and busjness must be -sustained by any man who accepts the office of county com missioner. And it is therefore not for the salary that I am again a can didate for the position, but for the inturcst which I have in tho ma'tter of good roads. There is a large amount of road work that is now under contempla tion by the county court, and the un dersigned, as a member of tho court, desires to see this work completed. Would not the oxporienco gained by previous service in this position be of substantial beneft to the taxpay ers of the county? If I shull be renominated and elect ed by the voters of tho county, I shall endeavor to have the money available for road improvement, and tha moneys appropriated for othor purposes, expended in an economical manner and in a way that will return to tho taxpayers the best return for the revenue furnished by them. Very respectfully, JOSHUA PATTERSON. (Advertisement,) Russia's Head in Germany. BERLIN, Aug. 30. Tho czar and czarina of Russia arrived at Fried- borg today.
