Hon. pet W. Shell
For Treasurer.

By his authority The Hummer is
announcing this week the candidacy
Of the Honorable Pet W. Shell fer
the Office Of Treasurer, subject to
the sction Of the Democratic primar-
les.
For sixty-nine years Mr.. Shell has
lived a good life in Chickasaw coun-
ty. He is known and loved by
everybody as a kind hearted, neigh
borly, earnest, sincere, dutiful and
Christian working man. His deeds
for good have been many and far
notwithstanding his personal
pleasures and honest achievements
for the other fellow.
Mr.. Shell was once the Supervisor
Of the Houston Beat and in that
trying work he did his duty as he
saw it with credn to both himself
and his friends. His work on the
Board was a success and his know.
ledge gained from work of that
kind specially fits him for the office
to which he now aspires.
We believe that Mr.. Shell is a
good man for the position and
heartily commend his candidacy 70
the voters. He will make the grand
rounds and explain his views on
the questions of affairs to all the
people.
The Hummer asks your earnest
consideration for the name of P. w
Shell.

HON. E. N. VERELL
FOR REPRESENTATIVE

Authorized by the Honorable E.
N. Verrell The Hummer takes pleas
ure in announcing bic candidacy
for the State legislature
This makes the race on this side
Of the creek a lively affair and Mr..
Verrell launches his political boat
with the one great thought Of pad
ding his own canoe His sails are
set for the whirlwind campaign in
the summer and the voters can
look out for big dOines when he hits
the shores of argumentative Oratory
and mastery delineatiOn Of Missis-
sippi events.
Mr.. Verrell has lived in Chicka-
saw county for over 28 years and
knows its people and affairs from
careful personal study and close at
tention te the trend of our history.
He has farmed during these years
with more than the average success
and in his work among his people
has lived the ideal man and gen
tleman. No man can say that he
is NOT kind and helpful to his
friends and to all who need the
kindly administrations that he so
ably gives.
Mr.. Verrell has travelled all over
the state and his close observation
has given him a clear and cOmpre-
hensive view Of the common veal.
He favors a more economical gov
eminent in the expenditure of the
public moneys end believes that
the state and county taxes should
be separately classed and executed.
He believes that officials should be
be put on a salary basis instead of
the exorbitant fee system now pre-
vailing He also thinks the Tax
Assessor should be eliminated and
the Supervisors take his place-the
latter to draw a salary sufficient to
get men who would spend their en-
tire time in the discharge Of county
duties.
AS to his qualifications we believe
that he is able and worthy Of wear
ing the legislative toga and we b.
lieve that he knows the exact needs
and wants of the people whom he
aspires to represent in Jackson.
The Hummer cOmmends his can
didacy and asks earnest attention
to his speechs and careful consider
alton when the voting day rolls
around.
Remember the vigilant, the val
liant, the venerable and the very
vigorous Verrell
