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. ijj jg Your’e Hunting for big values ii and We’re Hunting for you. jjj Wei Meet You 8 m (fi ||| with more and better jjjj\ (fi values than ever.

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.
