At the solicitation of a large number of friends in different portions of the county, Mr. W. J. REDD, as concluded to make the race for Register of this county. He is well known to the people of the western portion of the county, where he was raised, and to them it is unnecessary to say one word as to his qualifications for the place he seeks, but to those who are not as well acquainted with him, it is but just that we should say, he is eminently qualified for the discharge of its duties. He writes an elegant hand, and is a first class business man. He is a gentleman in every sense of the word, and will make the race upon gentlemanly principles. He bases his claims to the place upon his qualifications for a proper discharge of its duties and will, no doubt, receive a flattering endorsement at the polls in August next.
