10 represent his constituents IL the State

He is a true and staunch Repuehcan, has

one of the principal organizers OF the he
publican party in this parish The Repupll,

Mr.. Harris has been permanent citizen
N this parish for the last seven or eight
years and may now be considered fully
identified in interest and feeling with her
citizens. He has been, during his residence
in the parish, one Of the largest cotton
planters in North Louisiana.

Thomas N. Reber. the present Deputy
Clerk of the District Court, was nominated
for Parish Judge.
The next most important nomination was
that for the Office OF Sheriff. The lucky
man in this case was James Franklin, a COZ

ever since we have been in the parish He
has some education and qualification for the
office. having had some experience IN lega
matters, having held the office OF Constable

their prejudice to color for office, winch w
think ia rapidly taking place, the people o
the parish will be pleased with Franklin
