Political Speaking.

On Thursday, December 3rd, Judge Blanchard and numerous other orators and candidates will speak on state issues in Farmerville. Every citizen of the parish should come and bring his son, or sons. It is only once in four years that we have an opportunity to hear the interests of government discussed minutely and by men who know government in its every phase.

It is possible that General Jastremski and all other state candidates will be here on that occasion, but we are not authorized to state that General Jastremski will be here It is only our hope that he will be here. But whether you be for Judge Blanchard or General Jastremski, it is your duty to attend and bring your sons.

A man cannot vote intelligently without hearing both sides. He cannot vote patriotically unless he knows for whom to vote, after having learned the fact from hearing both sides. It is your duty to your sons to bring them out. They are the Louisianians who have to rule the state when you are no more. It is your duty to them and to yourselves to be informed. It is your duty to them and to posterity to not let one opportunity slip whereby they can inform themselves or be informed. You do not have to vote for a candidate because you hear him speak, but, after hearing, it is more satisfactory to vote against him, if he be wrong, or, to vote for him, if he be right. Come to the speaking on December 3rd, and if General Jastremski does not come, when he does come you should hear him also. We venture that if Senator Foster is not still sick Ex-Senator Jonas will meet him here, and if so, it is a fair chance to judge who you want for the United States senate.

We will pay highest market price for green hide and dry hides, furs, beeswax, sheep skins, wool and country produce, in cash. UNION MERCANTILE Co., LTD., Gus Hartman, Agt.

If we are to have a thriving town we need brick. Mr. Gray is making them but can not with his present method supply the demand. A brick yard would pay and it takes little capital to start it. From six hundred to a thousand dollars would establish a plant that would turn out 20,000 brick per day at a cost of about $3.75 a thousand and they would all be easily saleable at $6.50 a thousand. Even if the home demand be supplied the railroads will take them at that price and if we can develop a brick that is tough enough for paving or smoothe enough for finish then our market would be the United States. As an evidence St. Louis sells press brick to the world. Coffeeville, Kansas, will furnish the press brick for our new court house. Monroe used in paving the “Iroington Paver” from Ohio and the Garrettson brick from Texas. Our railroad will soon be here and industry will force its extension or build other roads. Gentlemen, act.

HARRIS’ BUSINESS COLLEGE, Jackson, Miss., will take your note for tuition, payable when you secure a position. They guarantee positions, under reasonable conditions. They cannot supply the demand for bookkeepers and stenographers.

The people of Union Parish should recognize the fact once for all that in order to vote at a primary or at a general election they are required to pay their poll tax for two years next preceding the time or election at which they offer to vote and also to register. If you paid your poll tax for 1902 before the 31st day of December of that year, and if you will pay your poll tax for 1903 before the 31st day of December and register, you can vote for the State ticket and State senators January 19th, 1904. Otherwise you cannot.

Our farmers persist in raising cotton when the price is continuously fluctuating an uncertainty always exists as to what the staple is worth. Union Parish is not cotton land and to realize this fact the farmer has but to go to the alluvial lands where cotton is grown. In cotton, you can not compete with the alluvial planters for in trying to do so you are in a competition against nature. Your hill land will raise, when fertilized, as much grain as any alluvial land; hence grain and stock is your best paying product.

A Dangerous Month. This is the month of coughs, colds, and acute catarrh. Do you catch cold easily? Find yourself hoarse, with a tickling in your throat and an annoying cough at night?

It gives immediate relief. We know it’s the best remedy for these troubles. I write this to induce other people to try this pleasant and efficient remedy.” 25c, 50c and $1.00. Sold by R. Haas.

The attendance at the Farmerville High School has exceeded all past records. The teachers are able and efficient and their work impressive and lasting.

The present citizenship and the youth of the state demand it.

Denison, railroad contractor, who has the contract to build the Farmerville and Southern railroad from Farmerville to Marion has been absent for about two weeks in St. Louis, Mo., and Batesville, Ark.

Morehouse Parish is trying to get West Carroll to join in an endeavor to elect on of the Senators from the east side of the Ouachita river. Morehouse held a mass meeting and according to journals from that parish passed ringing resolutions. The east side has some good and able men and we hope that it will not lose sight of this fact. Local pride should not come between the people and the good of the country. Unless the east side can furnish better men, the west side men should be voted for on the east side and if the east side furnishes a better man than the west of the river can furnish, then the west side should support him regardless of the locality of the candidate. The day has arrived for men and issues, and petty jealousies should be laid aside and men should vote and act like men, for the good of the country and for posterity.  This done, the state will advance and no one have cause to regret.

Best Liniment on Earth. I. M. McHany, Greenville, Tex., writes, Nov. 2d, 1900. “I had rheumatism last winter, was down in bed six weeks; tried everything, but got no relief, till a friend gave me a part of a bottle of Ballard’s Snow Liniment. I used it, and got two more bottles. It cured me and I haven’t felt any rheumatism since. I can recommend Snow Liniment to be the best liniment on earth for rheumatism.” For rheumatic, sciatic or neuralgic pains, rub in Ballard’s Snow Liniment , you will not suffer long, but will be gratified with a speedy and effective cure.  25c, 50c and $1.00. Sold by R. Haas.
