Mr. ronaron mitsnun.
In today’s paper Hon. Fondren
Mitohell announces his candidacy
for re-election to the House of
Representatives. During his past
service in that body he lias won a
reputation second to none, and is
oue of the leading members of the
Honse. His record of clean and
efficient publio service will doubt
less entitle him tore-eleotion,and
no opposition has been hinted at
from the county.
Should Mr. Mitchell be ro-elocted
it is practically certain that he
will make the race for speaker of
the House. If he does run there
is small room for doubt of his
eleotion. Thomas comity would
feel honored at having its repre
sentative in the chair, and ho
would fill the position with digni
ty and credit.
COUNTY POLITICS.
Candidates Have Nsarly All Daelsrad
Themselves and Campaign Will ha
Qulst
The political campaign promises
to be a quiet one in Thomas coun
ty this year. AH of the present
county officers whose terms expire,
with a few exceptions have an
nounced themselves for re-elec
tion. The three present membere
of the honse of representatives are
all in tho race to succeed them
selves, and political wiseacres say
that they will have no opposition.
Iu the pest few months the names
of many men have been mention
ed as possible candidates. Among
them are John B. Eason and J. B.
Way of tbe Boston district. Dr. J.
Frank Harris of Pavo, J. F Stone
and Jule Forrester of the Cairo
district, and several others. At
one time it was soppoaed that tbe
dispensary question might figure
in county politics, but it seems
that this issue, and all the gen
tlemen named have preferred to
remain in the background.
Sheriff T, J. Hight is opposed
by Mr. J. J. Cone and both are
making an aotive canvass. Tbe
principal interest of tbe campaign
centers in this race.
Ordinary Jones, Coroner Gandy,
Surveyor Staualand, Commission
ers Smith, aud Barrow,' Treasurer
Parker and Tax Receiver Howard,
have all announced for re-election
and present indications are that
they will go nook into office un
opposed.
The term of County Commis
sioner H. C. Copeland of Metoalfe
expires, bnt it is 'not known
whether or not he will again bo a
candidate. The friends of this
efficient and popular officer are
nrging him to serve again and he
will probably accede to their re
quest.
Tax Collector P S. Heeth has
not announced for re-elfctiou but
it is generally understood that be
will do so.
Clerk J; W. Groover roar or
may not ran sgaiu. He has not
announced his intention.
It seems now that save iu the
case of the sheriff’s office Thomas
comity’s campaign will be as
smooth and quiet as a summer
sea, bnt politics and a jnry are
uncertain things and no one knows
whut the next few days may bring
forth.

READ IT THKOUdtl.
Twould Spoil This Story to Tell It
la tha Headlines.
To oae an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an “o’er true tale. ” Having hap
pened in a small Virginia town in the
winter of 1303, it is a story very much
of the present. Up to a short time ago
Mrs. John E. Hannon, of Melfa Sta
tion, Va., had no personal knowledge of
the rare curative properties of Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy. “Last January,”
she says, “my baby took a dreadful cold
and at one time I feared she would have
pneumonia, bnt one of my neighbors
told me how this remedy had cored her
littlerboy and I began giving it to my
baby at once and it soon cored her. I
heartily thank the manufacturer* of
Chamberlain’* Cough Remedy for pla
cing so great a core within my reach.
I cannot recommend it too highly or say
too mnch in its favor. I hope all who
read this will try it and he convinced as
I was." For sale by J. W. Peacock.
