A Card.

To the citizens of Bossier-Gen-
tlemen; Having received more votes
in the primary held Nov. 23d than
any other candidate for the Assess
or's Office, I feel thankful and take
courage for the second contest, which
the Executive Committee has ordered
to be held on Jan. 11th-second Sat-
urday.
In previous primaries I would have
been the nominee, but I believe the
committee did right in ordering
another election, thereby giving an
opportunity for majority of the
voters to settle upon one man for
Assessor. This is Democratic.
If [ should be your choice, I will
stick close to the law, visit those
who cannot meet me at appointed
places TO give in their property, and
give the Office my personal attention.
In short I will endeavor to do my
duty. Very truly,
H. H. MONTGOMERY.
