How would it suit the candidates for the State senate from the 25th senatorial district to join in a request that all their names be placed on the State ticket, since the primary is to come off on the same day? It would save cost oat such arrangement could be had and no law forbids it.

Mr. W. R. Grafton, of Bernice, has been appointed notary public for Union Parish.
