Capt. T J Gibson, of Mexia,

to the public that he is not now, in
any sense of the word, a candidate

Judge L. B. Cobb, of Groesbeck,
democratic nominee for District
Judge, aud Mr. James Kimbell,
democratic nominee for Represen-
tative of Limestone county’, spent
-several days in Fairfield this week.
It was (he first time many in our
town bad met J ndge Cobb, and we
think the first time he had ever
visited our town. The Judge is a
modest unassuming gentleman,
small in stature, and of quiet, re-
tiring manners. He is said to be,
faowfver, by those who know him,
« fine lawyer, oqe of the best at the
Orowbeck bar. He was county
Judge of Limestone county for two
-or three terms, and it said to be a
man of excellent morals and un-
impeschable private character;
and as such would make the dis-
trict an able, honest and nprigbt
Judge, dealing out equal and exaot
justice, as be understands the law,
to both aides, in every case tried
before him. He is just such a
honest litigant would
