Mr.. Mays Seeks to Meet You.

AS to my candidacy for the Office OF
Sheriff, fully appreciate the fact that
time is of all importance to me in the
way of meeting the good people OF
Bossier. Acknowledging the fact that
my opponents have been busy canvass
ing from, say twelve to twenty-five
years, l find this great advantage to
them-having in this time made so many
friends and acquaintance.
Having realized that such is the con-
dition, and finding that my supporters
increaes in number as my circle Of &C
quaintances broadens, therefore, in order
to meet the people and advance my
claims before them at the earliest date
possible, / have decided to ask those
who are interested to help me by coming
out to the several places at which am a
comparative stranger and hear what l
have to say in an off-hand way. l am
not an orator, but shall try to at least
make the occasions of as much interest
to you as possible. The sole object being
to meet the people, you are asked to
bring your wives, sons and daughters,
as my purpose is to meet them all, and
you shall hear, / trust, something that
will be of interest to you all.
My candidacy for the Sheriff g Office,
gentlemen, is not joke. This shall
more fully substantiate from time to
time. Will say just here that it is my
misfortune, as it would be to any Other
outside farming boy, to have the politi-
cal bosses of Bossier arrayed against
me, as their opinion seems to DE it is
ours by inheritance and no outsider has
the right to intrude. I am alone, an6
independent of any might-be faction;
am making my own claims to the people
without the suggestion of any bunch
and shall be ever found responsible TO
my own mistakes.
l ask that my opponents be present a
the several places named; assuring then
that nothing personal or unkind shall b.
said on my part, as know of no one TO
whom l have higher regard or NOR
kindly feeling than l do for my oppo
nents. l shall be pleased to meet all tn
peaple who can and will come out a
the following places on the dates shown
'. Linton-August 18th, at $3.50 pm.
Alden Bridge-Ausust 18th, at 8 pm
Bossier City-August 10th, at pm.
Haughton-August 10th, at pm.
> Ivan-August 26th, at 8 pm.
} Am quite sure the several candidate
+ for ward and parish Offices will be pres
f ent and will help as best they can
5 make these occasions of interest to yo,
e Ny being a stranger to most of you
: what prompts me to thus seek to MAX
S your acquaintance. Business engage
Y ments have thus far kept me too closel
: confined to make house-to-house car
|. vass, but this l shall do later on.
e order that we may better know eae
G other now, l hope to meet you on Il
: dates above mentioned. Respectful
O G.. T. MAYS.

One of the most remarkable feat
ures about Prof. ]. M. Munyon is the
extraordinary amount, of attention he
has attracted. Here and all over the
country, the immense crowds that
have been flocking to see him, and the
large quantity Of mail he receives
daily at his headquarters, Munyon's
Laboratories, SD and Jefferson Sts.,
Philadelphia. He receives mail and
visitors from every city in the United
States and Canada. Most notable is
the fact that rich and poor come to
him alike, and few hours spent at
the side of the physician is most in
teresting study in human nature
Many remarkable cases of relief Sc
cured were related at the store this
week.
One was that of man who had
suffered from indigestion and stomach
trouble for more than ten years. He
said:
Il think / had one of the worst
cases of stomach trouble on record. /
could not digest anything l ate. Food
fermented in my stomach and formed
gas, which passed out in the abdomen
and up under my heart, and at times
made me suffer SO badly expected to
die. l had intense headaches and fire.
quent attacks of dizziness, and grew
short of breath when l attempted to
walk up stairs. l was also much con-
stipated. l came here short while
ago and took Munyon's full course of
stomach treatment. Now l must adj
nit feel like new man. l can eat
anything | want with no distress af-
forwards, and all of the other symp-
toms of my trouble have disappeared.
l notice particularly that my head is
much clearer and my brain works bet
ter. l am full of ambition and energy
and enjoy life hugely. can never
tell how glad am that had the good
sense to try this Munyon treatment"
! Another enthusiastic visitor was a
woman who declared that her mother
| had been relieved of rheumatism in a
most remarkable manner. Said she:
"My mother was fiat on her back in
bed with rheumatism, sciatic, muscu-
larry and infiammatory. Doctors had
pronounced her case almost incur
able and we had about given up hope
of her ever being able to walk again.
| | procured treatment for her from
one of these Munyon doctors, and to-
day she is able to get about the house
with perfect ease and can go out
doors, and in fact, do anything that g
woman of her age might be expected
to do. The rheumatic pain and in
flammation have entirely disappeared
1 think this Munyon treatment is
positive wonder worker"
| Letters addressed to Prof. j. M
