Mr. E. P Thaggard announces
himself a candidate for the office of
senator from the 10Th senatorial dis
trict. male vacant by the removal of
Hon. e. NJ Brown to Miami.
Mr. Thagard has been a citizen of
Marion county for the past twenty
five wears and has led life that has
commended him to the favorable con-
sideration of his fellow citizens. In
the year 1898. he was elected tax col
Iector over several popular competi-
tors, and made such an exceptionally
fine official that he was reelected
two years later without opposition.
While holding this office Mr.. Thag
ard became perfectly familiar with
our whole system of taxation, which
will be of value To him as a legislator
and which he promises to use to inn
prove and simplify the system
We are reminded that the Good
Book says that there is a glory of the
sun and glory Of the moon and a
glory of the stars, and that one star
differeth from another star in glory.
"Whatever my gifts are says Mr.
Thagard, they are not the gifts of
eloquence of Speech" and he makes
10 pretense in that direction, but his
friends recognize the fact that he
possesses a quick and d level head
and the priceless boon of plain COM
mon sense which, after all, counts in
Legislation more than impetuouS and
fiery eloquence.
1t is well known that legislation is
now done in committee rooms, and
after laws have been digested and
agreed upon, the open debates which
follow rarely make any change OF
votes.
Mr.. Thagard is safe, conservative,
industrious and methodicai, and is
capable of making good senator
and has in a very large measure the
unbounded confidence of his friends.
Mr.. Thagard is member of the
Bapsist church, is prominent Mason.
an Elk, and is prominent in various
other secret societies.

of the highestpossible standard are
placed upon the market. Every

of a house whose standards are the
highest in the trade. 4 fresh stock,

carried by dealers everywhere.
