Ford county election features Republican Shaw winning county treasurer post
In last week's special Ford county election the Republican Shaw won the county treasurer race by a wide margin over an independent candidate. The piece notes three candidates for state legislature from Wenona, including N Moore, O W Maben, and Charley Parker, and discusses district 6's nomination of Gen. Thomas J. Henderson for Congress. It also covers Grasshopper reports from Kansas nurseries, county court proceedings for August 1814, and a cautionary line about a young man’s whiskey habit.
