CEors-During che week we have met
with several of our old farmers living in
different parts of the county, they all
say the cotton crop will turn out to be
better than was expected three or four
weeks ago, and that there is a fine crop
of corn raised. The season for gathering
the crops has been very fine so far, and
we hope the farmers will be able to get
their CROPS gathered before the bad
weather sets in.

To the Voters of. Hardeman
Fellow Citizens,


Having been urged by numerous
friends to announce myself a candidate
for the Legislature, take this occasion
to say to the public generally, that I am
a candidate for the position refer. ed to,
and will, in this event, as ever have
done, do my utmost to win. At this
suspicious time it is rot qmiss for me to
state, fairly and sqrarely, the grounds
upon which stand, and the paramount
measures deemed nppermoss in tie
issue OF my political creed, it is use~
less to speak-you all know What it Is
but for fear that some one may miscon-
strue my motives or overlook the past,
/ will say that l am in sympathy with
the Liberal Republican cause-a cause
that advocates freedom for all, equal
taxation and State rights. This much
for National affairs.
AS to the pending issues in our own
State, deem it but my duty to gener-
Gus and liberal minded people to say that
1t will be my pleasure to advocate the
following measures
Immigration;
No tax on manufacturers;
Repeal of taxes on merchants.
Repeal of usury laws
The advocacy of all means tending to
advance the agricult ural interests of our
people.
Mechanics lien law.
All poll tax to 90 to educational pur-
: poses-the whites to have what they pay
! in separately and the negroes the same
thus obviating the confusion which ex-
listed and still exists throughout the
/ State
Modify criminal laws, propoTt ioning
/ punishment to crime
No convict labor 70 cone in contact
I with honest men.
a new State Constitution, so as to i,
away with the bungiing concern under
which all our present laws are made.
Reduction Of taxes, and the funding O
the State debt, and all such other meas
uers which may ccme up whereby th,
PEOPLE, and not the fe,r, may be benefit
ted.
Such, fellow-citiz are the ground
upon which take my stand, and if yol
deem them right, you can say so.
Respectfully,
NJ r. PARRISH.
