Joseph Sijota has just finished a good house at Millport. We believe that Mike Sijota (a bach elor) has the finest bouse of all. The climate cannot be exceiien, never hot or as cold as zero weather.

During the time I serv ed as constable, I made a number of arrests, never failed to get a man' when sent for him, and never had to resort to violence in making an ar- rest, although some of the prisoners! brought In by me were considered bad ' characters. During my residence in Lincoln County, when not employed as statad, I have followed my trade of blacksmithing, owned and operated ray own shop. I was not assisted ln any way In my nomination, except by the voters at the primaries, and am, therefors, under no obligation to any one, and If elected, will discharge my. official dut ies without fear, favor, or partiality, coristanlly endeavoring to render the best service in the sheriff's office I believe that my past experience togther with an extensive knowledge of existing conditions and my educa tional qualifications, will enable me. If elected, do discharge the duties of the sheriff In the most thorough, ef ficient and economic manner. With this brief statement of facts, I earnestly solicit your support at the coming election.
