Shurby, Candidate
for County Treasurer.
In the proper column you will
find the name of W. A. Shurley,
who authorizes us to announce
him as a candidate for the office
of Treasurer of Hopkins county,
in this week’s issue of the Rus-
tler, subject to the action of the
Democratic primary, July 25th,
1914.
Mr. Shurley is a self made
man, having been raised on the
farm and receiving practically no
education till after he was 21
years of age. He had an 'ambi-
tion, and a desire to be of use
to his country, and at the age of
21 began the struggle for an edu-
cation, and his success is demon-
strated in the fact that he is one
of the leading instructors in the
county today. He has been a
successful teacher in this county
for the past seven years, and
during that time has applied for
only two schools—a record only
a few can boast of.
He authorized us to state that
he is making the race
for office strictly on his
merits and not on the demerits.j
of his opponents. He also stated i
that he would endeavor to be as j
successsul in office, if elected, as {
he was in the school room. We |
believe the voters of this county t
will make no mistake in giving!
Mr. Shurley their most careful j
consideration before casting their j
votes in July.

Kev. J. Leonard Rea will fill j

That was a magnanimous act
of Manager Cross of the Lyric
when he donated the entire re-
ceipts of the box office Tuesday j
night to the cause of baseball in
Cumby. " The Baseball Park As-
sociation have leased a four-acre
tract of land southeast of the
cemetery, the property of U. H.
Brown, and are converting it in-
to a baseball park. The mana-
gers have enclosed the grounds
with a board fence, 7 feet high;
have erected a grand stand af-
fording ample seating capacity.
The funds for these improve-
ments have been obtained largely
through public subscriptions, and
just to help “the boys” Mr. Cross
put oji the show, giving them the
entire receipts, as above stated.
The pictures were “All for love, ”
and “Leaves in a Storm,” the
lattef being a picture with a for-
cible moral; a lesson taught cal-
culated to make a person stop
and think.
But back to baseball.
The park and diamond are ’■
ready for the opening game 1
which will be put on soon, and
the captain says that there are 1
fast games booked for Cumbv.
Play ball!

None But Democrats
Need Apply at Polls
“I am a democrat and agree to
support the nominees of this pri-
mary. ”
Such is the party test. >

up consider your political charac-
ter the least bit shady.

The primary election is to be
held free of cost to the candi-
dates except for printing and
other minor expenses.
The assessments are as fol-
