Editor Mercury:
Dear Sir:   As I have been  confined to my bed since new years day and am
still  very feeble, so  much so that I will not be able to make a canvass.
I ask  you to withdraw my name as a candidate for the office of deputy
Sheriff.    I am grateful for the interest my friends have manifested in my
behalf.        J.R.ROBERTSON.

Mr. Tom Parker Announces Himself a Candidate.
Editor Mercury:  tho I have not formally announced myself a candidate for
sheriff, it is known to many that I have been in the field for some time.
You are hereby requested to publicly announce me as a candidate and
authorized to say _____.   I will be a candidate until the question ___ __
Is settled by the ____ ____ convention to be held Feb. 12th.
Hoping my friends will earnestly use all honorable efforts in my behalf, and
assuring my fellow countrymen that I will, if honored with the position, do
all in my power to make a faithful and acceptable officer, I am,
Respectfully,
TOM PARKER
~~~~~~
Card from Richard T. Carter.
Editor Mercury:  I have a number of times been asked by my friends in not
only this (Buzzard Roost), but other precincts, to become a candidate of
Deputy Sheriff of Nicholas county.
After fully considering the matter I have concluded to run, and you are
therefore authorized to announce me as a candidate for said
position----subject, of course, to the action of the Democratic party.
When my neighbor, Mr. Butler McClannaham, was mentioned in connection with
the position, it was generally concluded he would secure it.   It being
known that he will not run, I announce myself, and hope that at least some
of the claims mentioned in his favor will be conceded to me, we residing in
the same precinct.
Promising that, if honored with the position, to discharge the duties
pertaining to it with zeal and fidelity, I am      Yours , truly,
R. T. CARTER.
