Read a few of our Testimonials. Also many
others on file ut our office:
DANIEL HEFLEBowER says ! have tested
the light Suntish Plow that I purchased
of you and find it mp to all the requirements (;
light in draft, easily adjusted. and the only
pillow l ever saw that will follow equally as
well two or three horses. want no more cast
plows.
CHARLES E. TIMBERLAKB says: The i'm
proved two or thrce-horse Sunfish Plow /
got of you Con triaD this Spring proves TO be
equal to all you claim for it. and more.
plowed piece of new ground with three horses
hiched to it, that were altogether too fast, but
1t was equal to it, and came out with colors
flying.
P. O'BRIEN. of Halltown. says: take
pleasure in saying that the New Plow, pur-
chased of you this Spring. gave entire satisfac-
ton. The peculiar quality of the soil which
have TO plow makes it necessary to have moth
ing but the very best pillow to do the work.
Il. Z. BOYD. of Kabletown, says: / will
say in regard to your New Pillow that it is the
best I.have ever used-works easy to both man
and horses. and is just what you want for hard
ground. and is the cheapest to keep in order.
II JOSEPH l.. EICHELBERGER says: Received
your note the other day. and say in re-
gard to tho Plow that it is all that could be de-
sired light of draft. and docs its work we'll.
| and is in my judgement a much better Pillow
than any of those light Flows from the North
and West that are shipped hero by the car
load. Farmers had better spend their money
at home and encourage home manufacturers.
G. w. SNYDER. Mddleway. says: like your
Pillow both for two three horses, and have
never seen any better. 1t can be keptin order
with less expense than any have ever used.
1t cuts the ground off before it turns it: there
by making a level surface below. There is
where it beats other Plows.
RUDOLPH RAU, of Bolivar, says: 81 am
much pleased with the Plow. 1 think the
New PlOw superior to the Old Sunfish. in fact
it does more and better work than any Plow
ever had on my farm. Will call and see you
about another Of same pattern.

LATER.

Especial to Shreveport Democrat
BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. 1S.-The
long period of waiting Is over. Inc,
committee on credentials has reported,
the convention has acted on the report
and Nichols will be the next gov
erner. For three days the delegates
have been awaiting somewhat impa'
tiently the report of the committee on
credentials. The work of the commit
tee has been immense. Very nearly
a score of parishes had protests or con-
tests to be settled by the committee,
and though they were Withdrawn 10
very nearly half the cases, yet the con-
tests that remained were OF 80 lmpoI
tant a character, and has engenoereo
such local bitterness that the commit
tee found itself overwhelmed WIN a
mass of documentary evidence that
has occupied it night and day since
Tuesday. ALI day yesterday there was
literally nothing done. The convention
convened from time to time, only to
hear the oft repeated statement that no
report was forthcoming from the ere
dentials committee, and that no deli
Mite time could be fixed for the presen'
tatiop OF the report. The Nichols eau
Gus met twice day, ana thoush ~
transacted business of utmost impor
lance and of great interest to newspa.
per readers, all who were present were
pleoped to secrecy, and nothing
copId he wired the Democrat, but this
morning at 10 o'clock, when
the convention met, the committee
presented the long looked for re-
port. Tho committee report gave
Nichols large majority OF the uncoo-
tested delegations, and unanimously
recommended that DeSoto, Ouachits
and ST. James, of the contested pari'
shes, be given to NcEnery, and st
Tammany be given to Nichols. The
convention adopted the unanimous
conclusion without discussion. Inc
com mittee likewise reported py
large majority in favor of seating tn'
McEnery delegations from Grant

. Tho State convention has spoken,
aud % We predicted last week, Gen.
Nichols was chaser as the Standard
bearer OF the Louisiana Democracy for
the approaching contest between De-
mocfacy and Radlcalism. He was the
choice by . large majority and his
nominatlon was made unanimous. This
10 % Il should be aud 1t indicates that
there will be no sulkinE In the tents Of
The defeated faction. OF course there
are 4 few sore heads but they Will
amount to nothing. Before the con-
yentlon had spoken there was talk Of
: Republican ticket and the defeat Of
Gen. Nichols, II he should be the
nomlnse, but that was all bluff game
aed ~ perfectly understood. No such
neoerimune viii be carried out, nor
