The Art of sklp-Readina.

Skip-reading is an accomplishment of our own time. An ordinary man or woman of to-day can extract all the requisite information out of news paper in less than five minutes by the exercise of this new sense--for it is little else than this. The eyes race down colmun. pick up instinctively an essential word here and there, and the brain fills in the intervals intelli. gently, producing a precis which is sufficient for the purpose.

MIR. TOM MEEKS.

The announcement of MT. Tom Meeks as a candidate for constable of Vaugine township appears in the regular announcement column of the Graphic. Mir. Meeks is at present the efficient jailer of Jefferson county, a position in which he gives general satisfaction. MT. Meeks belongs to one of the oldest and most highly re- spected families of Jefferson county, and is one of our most worthy and deserving citizens. He is thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of the office, and should he be nominat- ed and elected, would no doubt make a thoroughly efficient and satisfactory constable. The Graphic hopes the voters of the township will give his candidacy the consideration it de- serves.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-10-21

the same as has been given his prede- cessors in office Prior to his election as sheriff two years ago by a very de- cided majority, he had previously served the people of this county as constable of Vaugine township, chief of police of the city of Pine Bluff, and deputy sheriff for two terms under MT. James Gould In all of these offi- ces the Graphic has never heard any complaint against MT. Philpot; in- deed and in truth it must be admitted that in each of them he served the people efficiently and well and to the satisfaction of the citizens of the coun- ty. Mir. Philpot's record in the past in the various offices he has held is an earnest of what may be expected of him in the future, and should he be reelected he will no doubt serve the
 people with the same fidelity as in the past, and the Graphic comments his candidacy to the consideration of the Democratic voters of the county.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-10-21

ol is one of the younger Democrats of the county-"to the manor born, :, being a son of the late Alec Nichol, one of Jefferson county's leading and most highly respected citizens of ear Her years. M. Nichol received his ed ucation at Jordans Academy in this city, and is one of our most highly re- spected young business men. For the past four years he has served as dep uty county and probate clerk under Mir. Jesse R. Core, and by his affable and obliging manners in the dis charge of his official duties has made many friends. That he is thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of the office to which he aspires will be universally admitted, and that he will make a strong and formidable candi- date none will deny. He is most de- serving young man and the Graphic bespeaks for his candidacy the ear nest consideration of the voters of the county.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-10-21
MIR. JESSE R. CORE.

The Graphic contains the announce ment of Mir. Jesse R. Core as can- didate for sheriff and collector of Jeff ferson county subject to the action of the Democratic primaries on January 2, 1908. Mir. Core is too we'll known by the people of Jefferson county to require any elaborate mention at our hands He has served the people of
 Jefferson county as treasurer and county and probate clerk for two terms each, and has made most pop ular and obliging officer. There is not a more astute politician or clever and accommodating gentleman in Jeff ferson county than Jesse R. Core, and he numbers his friends by the score. That he is qualified for the position
 to which he aspires goes without saying and that he would make most popular sheriff no one will deny. He goes before the voters on his mer- it's, and submits his candidacy to the Democracy of the county, and the Graphic comments his candidacy to the consideration of the people.

MIR, JOHN H. SHELBY.

MT. John H. Shelby has announced as a candidate for county and probate clerk subject to the action of the Dem- ocratic primaries. He has served the people of this county as assessor and county treasurer for two terms each, and is therefore Well-known to the voters of the county. Hr. Shelby is a native of Jefferson county, having been born and reared in Niven town ship, where he was one of that town ships most highly respected agricul- turists After his election as county assessor he moved to Pine Bluff in order to better attend to the duties of his office He is noted for his strict sobriety and integrity, and is highly esteemed by all who know him. He is personally known to nearly every voter in the county, and his friends are legion. His record as Democrat is unquestoned, and his record as a county official is unblemished. Should he be elected to the office to which he aspires, he will no doubt continue to give the people the same satisfaction
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-10-21
MIR, MAJOR J. MEAD.

The Graphic is authorized to an-
 nounce MT. Major J. Mead as a can-
 didate for the office of county treas-
 urer subject to the action of the en- suing Democratic primaries. MT. Mead
 was born in Lincoln county in 1859,
 where he remained until about twenty years ago, when he came to Pine Bluff, accepting a position in local mercantile establishment. Some few years ago he entered into business on his own account, organizing the Mead-Harper Co, which has since be- come the Mead-Hudson Go. located at No. BPS Pine street, this city. Major Mead is thorough, unadulterated and unterrified Democrat. For several years, when Lincoln county was being overrun by the Populists, no one was more enthusiastic in the cause of Democracy than Major J. Mead, as this writer we'll knows. Upon his re- mOval to this city, MT. Mead immedi- ately identified himself with the Dem- ocracy of Jefferson county, and was one of the stalwarts among the stall warts in the memorable Straight tick ct" campaign in this county against the old compromise regime-a cam paign, as readers of the Graphic will remember, which resulted in the over- throw of the Republican compromise regime, and the elimination of the ne- gro from politics. Since that time ev- cry office in the county has been filled by a Democrat, a condition that the Daily Graphic was the only Pine Bluff newspaper to advocate, and con- summation that has brought about such happy results to the taxpayers
 of Jefferson county. The Graphic therefore heartily comments Major Mead as sterling Democrat, in every way capable and competent of filling the office to which he aspires, and as deserving of the consideration of the people.
