To the Democratic Voters oJ‘
Houstou County:
I intended from the beginning
to see that Mrs. Palmer would be
provided for if I was elected to fill
the unexpired term of Ordinary,
and had so' stated to some of my
friends, but as I preferred to run
on my own merits, 1 did not intend
to make this an issue in the race.
As it has been made an issue,
have decided to say to the people
that if I am elected, I will, on the
first day of each month, during the
unexpised term, pay to Mrs. Palm
er twenty dollars.
Respectfully,
S. T. HuBSt.

To Houston Democb ats:
After consultation with friends, I have
decided to become a candidate for the
office of Ordinary of Houston county,
made vacant by the lamentable death of
Judge Joseph Palmer. Feeling that the
bereaved family have a just claim upon
the office for the unexpired term, I will,

the office for that time.

the democratic party, and I earnestly
solicit the active assistance of my friends
throughout the county.

School House Purchased.
For several weeks negotiations
for the purchase of the Houston
Femnle College building by the
Perry Hoard of Education have
been pending. Between commit
tees of the Board of Education and
the trustees of the building, the
price and terms of sale had been
agreed upon.
Last Tuesday the Board of Ed
ucation adopted the report of their
committee, and agreed to purchase
the bnilding at the price named—
$1,500.
The trade will be consummated
as soon as the necessary papers
can be made out and signed.
President Holtzclaw is author
ized to heve the necessary repairs
to the building made before the
opening of the next term of Perry
Public School.
One positive improvement for
the winter will be two large stoves
in the large upstairs room.
Just what other improvements
will be made, we are not now au
thorized to say.
Since the establishment of the
present pnblic school system in
Perry, the Board of Education
used the building under contract
with the trustees of the old Hous
ton Female College.
BRICK WAREHOUSE OPEN.
I take this method of announcing to my many
friends and customers that my Warehouse will
be open at the beginning of the cotton season.
I will use my best efforts in every respect to
give satisfaction to all who bring me their cot
ton. All cotton brought to my Warehouse will
be handled and insured thirty days for 50 cents
per hale. Liberal terms made for storage after
the first thirty days. 1 want your business.
