Vote for R. C. Thornburg
Summary
The paper endorses Robert C. Thornburg for Sheriff and recounts his dangers during the war - people attempting to hunt him down "as if he was a monster, guilty of the foulest crimes." He was sometimes forced to flee his home and seek shelter elsewhere or risk being hung. Thornburg was always a loyal Union man. He is a mechanic by trade and all laboring men should support him because his sympathies are with them. [from Boonsboro' Odd Fellow]
