I5i 3 rtf The First national Ban k THE BANK WHERE YOU FEEL AT HOME 91 f4 Hi PLATTSMOUTH Urge George L. Sheldon for Federal Post Former Governor of Nebraska Men tioned for Revenue Collector for State of Mississippi From Tuesday' Dally The press dispatches from Wash ington today announce the fact that former Governor George L. Sheldon, of Nebraska, is being urged by his friends for the appointment as col lector of internal revenue for the (state of Mississippi, in which state 'he has made his home for the pat 'seventeen years. The suggestion as ! to the appointment of the former Ne ibraskan comes from the members of the Nebraska congressional delega tion and has been presented to Pres ident Coolidge for his consideration. The news is very pleasing to the many friends of Governor Sheldon here in Cass county, where he made his home during his years of resi dence in this state and where his father. Lawson Sheldon, was one of the pioneers who helped develop the state into its present greatness. The Sheldon family were settlers where the present city of Nehawka now stands and it was there that Georpe L. Sheldon grew to manhood and where his brothers, Frank P. Sheldon and Vilas P. Sheldon are still promi nent residents. The record of George Sheldon in the office of governor of Nebraska was one of the best of any in the history of the state, it marking the beginning of the progressive legisla tion and management of the state that was later carried out by the suc ceeding governors. George L. Shel don was elected governor in 1906 and served until January, 1909, when he was succeeded by A. C. Shallenberger, who also proved one of the leaders in the progressive movements in the state. Seventeen years ago the George Sheldon family removed to Mississip pi, where the former governor has a large plantation in the delta country of Mississippi near Wayside. If the president makes the selec tion of George Sheldon he will give the state of Mississippi a real offi cial and one that will - be a great credit to the party of which the former governor is a member and raise the standard of the usual offi cials appointed from the south.
