Ringgold county's Republican convention will be reconvened on Monday evening, July 14, at 8p.m. at the Mount Ayr Community high school auditorium according to Craig ELLIOTT, chairman of the convention. The purpose of reconvening the convention is to select a Republican candidate for the office of county recorder. The Iowa Code provides that if no candidate received 35 percent of the vote in the June primary, the county convention will be reconvened for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the position. The primary election results were as follows: Deloris RICHIE, 373 (33.27 percent); Steve TRULLINGER, 347; Sheryl SMITH, 233; Robert CHRISTNER, 119, and Jerry MARLER, 49.

Beverly McGINNIS and Raymond HENSLEY both of Mount Ayr were elected as Farmers Home Administration county committee members June 24 in the first election of FmHA county committee members here.
