OUR TICKET.

Never in the history of Anderson county has
any political party placed in nomination bet
ter stronger ticket than that which is found on
this page. The ticket is made up OF repre-
sentative men-clean, capable men, who, if
elected, will fill the various Offices honorably
and we'll. The candidates are highly qualified
10 I'll the Offices for which they were named.
The candidates Oh this ticket are not politi-
clans or of6ce-seekers, but they were selected
for their fitness for the various Offices. 1t can
truly be said that not one of the nominees pei
sonally sought the office tor which he was
nominated, but each ones claims and qualihca-
tiors were urged by friends who had the best
interests Of the county at heart, and desired to
place ut head of our county affairs men who
would be an honor to themselves aud the peo-
pie of the county.
Our candidate for representative, Isaac N.
Green, is one of the old settles of the county.
He came here at an early day, and is we'll ac-
quainted with trials and vicisstudes of pioneer
life During the years he has lived here, his
time has been occupied in farming and teaching
school As teacher, he has wide acquaint-
ance throughout the county, and enjoys the
highest esteem of those who have been under
his instruction. Many of his former pupils
are now grown to manhood; a large number OF
these, regardless of political affiliation, will
vote for their old teacher. Nj; Green also un'
derstands the needs of the far .ner, and he can
be depended upon to work and vote for the In
terests of the farmer. Indeed, he will be
valuable member of the Legislature.
w. 7. McMurray, candidate for county treas
urer, has been engaged in farming during the
greater part of his residence iu Anderson coun-
tv: asd. what is more, he has been successful
in all of his undertakings. He is careful,
prudent business mana safe, judicious man
aper of his own affairs-just such man as the
county needs as watchdog" of the treasury.
His social and business standing is above re-
proach. He is honorable in all Of his dealings
and his word is as good as his bond. He is
possessed of a good education, and is amply
oual;6ed to fill the Office of treasurer In Short
he is an ideal man for the place
Our candidate for county clerk, ]. F. Moon,
is not so we'll known in the northern part of
,be county as in the southern part, aud his eX-
tensive business affairs are such that he has
he an unable to make thorough canvass of the
county. Mr.. Moon is successful rea-estate
dealer, with headquarters at Colony, and he
has probably done more than any other man in

The readers OF the Colony Free Press
are, doubtless, almost ticked to death
because the editor has purchased a new
press and consigned the old one to the
junk pile. Editor CubbS has been giving
his readers a good, newsy paper, but it
was so poorlev printed that it was diff
cult to read it. It's all right now, how
ever.

A better choice conld not have been made. He
has been resident of Kincaid fol- many years,
and enjoys the respect and confidence OF every
one with whom he is acquainted.
The only question with regard to the candl-
dacv of Fred Blum for commissioner from the
Second district is, How large will his majority

trict as very careful and safe man. He is
farre, who has made success Of his business
He is careful about details, and watches the
little leaks. That he would as jealously guard
the interests of the taxpayers of the county as
he does his own nobody doubts, and it is gen
eral,v conceded that the Second district could
have found no better man for commissioner.
IF. Ressells record as commissioner from

thus to diel "Blessed are the dead who

His teacher remembers that during
those cold days, just before his illness,
that Raimon was first at school in the
morning and had fire built when she
and the other pupils arrived. Not once
we're the boys reproved for anything

school.
Such boys are pleasure to parents,

Death of Raimon and John Howard.

Raimon and John died on the Goth of
February, 1904, at their home near Ar
kama, Bossier parish. They were the
eldest sons of Mr.. and Mrs. S. D. How
ard. Both died of measles, followed by
pneumonia.
John was born September 8, 1892, and
was II years, months and II days old
when his soul took its fight to his God,
at o'clock am. on the day Of his death.
Raimon was born October %, 1890, and
was 13 years, s. months and 81 days old
when he departed this life at II o'clock
pm. on the same day of his brothers.
death.
These two brothers, devoted compan-
ions from infancy, even in death are
not separated, but suffered and died
alike and departed this life within only
few hours OF each other. They are
done with this life of sin and suffering
and are now together, always to dwell
with their maker in that purer, brighter
land where there will be no more pain,
no sin, but peace and happiness always.
It seems indeed hard for father and
mother, the two sisters and little BROTH
ers to give up their beloved Raimon and
John thus (they all being to i'll to follow
them to their last earthly resting place.
but the parents have consolation in
knowing that their children were excep-
tionally good boys. doubt not, if they
could see them as they now are, that
they would call them back. Raimon
