State's Attorney Lumley has already filed petitions seeking nomination on the Republicah ticket and it is said that petitions * are now being circulated in Harvard for J- J. Mc- Cauley, Harvard attorney, as a candidate for the office of state's attorney, also on the Republican ticket. As yet no candidate has filed for circuit clerk on the Democratic ticket, but the common opinion is that Earl Bower of Richmond, a former Woodstock banker, will file before the week is over. Will T. Conn, present incumbent, has filed for re-election jn the Republican ticket. The coroner's race is creating considerable excitement, also, with a new candidate entering the race Monday when Val McCarthy of Harvard announced his candidacy on the Democratic ticket.

Stocks are being gone over and items selected with prices radically reduced for good, dependable merchandise. Everyone at this time is looking for a chance to save money on purchases.
