Burton.--In another column will be found the card of Mr. Burton, of this place, announcing himself as a candidate for the office of Sheriff, subject to the will of the dear people. It would seem useless for us to speak of Mr. Burton's fitness and qualification, for the office to which he aspires, to the people, as he has been a resident of the county for the past sixteen years, and is well and favorably known to all the older residents, and to many of the later ones. Mr. Burton is classed among our very best business men and citizens. Is known to be active, energetic and reliable in all his conduct and dealings with his fellow men. By nature and by business education and experience he is well qualified for the office of sheriff, and there is no man now in the field his superior, although they may be his equal, for that responsible position, and should he be chosen, there will be no retrograding in the efficiency of our officers. | |

Physicians were immediately summoned, and after the little one had undergone medical treatment, it was pronounced out of danger. Parents who leave strychnine around in that way deserve a dose themselves. [I don't know who O.L. Crowell is, so I am linking him to Robert Crowell for future investigation] | |
