Last week the good people of
Mount Scott came to St. Johns and

suffering from the effects of the
grippe and the stage in the hall
was not half large enough to prop
erly present the entertainment.
There were many good points of
acting and despite the colds from
which the singers were suffering,
a very tair presentation was made.

Taxpayers' Ticket.
Tim citizens rallying under the
banner of the "taxpayers" met
Monday evening and nominated
the following candidates for city
offices for the coming year:
J. V. Hendricks, mayor; A. M.
Hsson, recorder; C. S. Thompson,
treasurer; G, J. Perkins, attorney;
C. J. Muck, C. I,. Johnson, Alex.
Scales, aldermen at large; A. R.

first ward; H. W. Jiouham and II.
C. Hunter, aldermen second ward,
A platform committee consisting
of J. V, Hendricks, G. J. Perkins,
II. C. Hunter and . C. Dey was
named and an executive committee
whose names are R. W. McKeon,
A. R. Jobes and Willis Moxou.
This is a good combination and
is composed of some of our best
citizens. If the good government
league can leat it they will have to
go some. The g. g. 1. will no
doubt make their nominations the
first of the week. I'or mayor it
will most likely be Mr. Hryce, and
for recorder possibly Mr. Ksson,
for attorney either Judge Greene or
II. H. Collier. Of course this is
guessing, but in politics one is
privileged to do so.
