Hon. John M. Elicit

Judge John M. Eliot3 is announc- ed in today's issue as a candidate for re-nomination and reelection as Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Dis trict composed of the counties of Jefferson, Lincoln and Desha. 1t is needless to say that his candidacy is subject to the action of the Demo cratic party, whether by conven- tion orprimaries.
 Judge Elliott is known throughout the district, and needs no introduc- tion at our hands. Prior to his ele- vation to the bench he was prose cutting attorney for several terms and is now serving his third success sive term on the bench. He is very popular with the people of the dis trict, this popularity being attested by the fact that he has never been defeated for any office to which he has aspired.
 As a circuit judge, Judge Elliott has been bo!d and fearless in the discharge of his official duties, prompt in rendering his decisions from the bench, and vigorous and firm in the enforcement of the law. The business of the court, under his rule, has been dispatched with ex- petition, and during the past few years he has devoted himself with energy to reducing circuit court ex. Penses.
 Judge Elliost's past course is an earnest of what may be expected of him in the future, aud should he be renominated and reelected, he will no doubt serve the people of the dis trict as acceptably in the future as in the past.

Maj. Davis was for a number of years en- gagged in active mercantile and agri- cultural pursuits, and was remarka- bly successful, accommodating a goodly competence, due to his con stant energy, vigilance and sagaei- ty. Several years ago he retired from the mercantile business. since which time he has lived in privacy and retirement upon his plantation near Altheimer.
 Maj. Davis has never sought nol held office, but is now possessed ot laudable ambition to serve his countrymen, and should he be elect ed to the office wl@ch he now seeks he will will bring to it the same care and correctness of business methods that have so successfully character ized his private and business life.

NEW EVERETT PIANO,

It is well-known fact that no pianos have stood the hard South ern climate as well as the Everett but the new improved Everett oi 1897 has surpassed all pianos, in artistic tone, touch and beautiful cases: they have created a sensation in the musical world, and by investi- gating you will find that they are absolutely the highest grade Of pianos now on the market. l am determined to have the piano trade of Arkansas. 1 have dropped prices and will sell you nice upright piano from $40 up, and the high grade Everett for $50 less than factory re- tail prices.

 Some of these pianos are on exhi. bition at MitchelTs on Main street

gant items h the appropriation bills. When the Fellow Servants bill came before the House, he was its abe and earnest champion and succeeded in passing it over all opp position. In the limits of this ar ticle we can only mention few of the measures with which the sub- iect of this sketch has been promin- ently identified, therefore suffice it to say in a general way that during his four terms as one of the mem- bers of the legislatur. he was at all times an earnest champion of the peoples rights and economy in pub lie expenditures.
 Mir. Foster moved to his place in this county over a year ago, becom- ing ore of its citizens, and is there fore qualified under the laws for the position to which he aspires.
 If the people of Jefferson county want an experienced legislator and parliamentarian of acknowledged abilities to represent them in the lower house, they can do ID better than select Mr. Foster for one ol theirl three Representatives. He possesses acknowledged skill in legis lation. As a lawyer he is familiar with the statutes, and as a farmer, is familiar with the needs and wants of the agricultural classes. The GRAPHIC commends his candi- dacy to the people, and bespeaks for him liberal consideration at the hands of the voters of the county.
