Actually, just read this: October 21, 1892 For Sheriff I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of Sheriff, subject to the wishes of the democratic party. If I am entrusted with the office, I promise to discharge the duties of the same faithfully. - J.C. Slade and For Commissioner I hereby announce myself as a candidate for county commissioner, subject to the action of the Democratic Party - J.M. Slade The family seems to be very politically oriented in Pike. Every candidate had to pay for an announcement to be run in the newspaper if he was running for office, because it was the "official paper" of Pike County.
