Hon. ]. B. Aswell for Congress.

In our column of announcements this
week will be found the name OF Con-
gressman j. B. Aswell, who offers for
reelection to the office which he has
filled with marked ability for seven
years. Mr.. Aswell's name is almost a
household word in the Eighth Congress
sional District of Louisiana, as there
is scarcely family in the district that
he has not served in some beneficial
way during his term of office.
The great ability and eminent fitness
of Mr.. Aswell for Congress has been
demonstrated in hundred ways, until
the people of his district have learned
to honor the man and take pardonable
pride in his conspicuous part in ma
tional affairs. His great services are
well known to all, and there is scarcely
room to recount them in this write-up
of his candidacy. Suffice it to say he
is splendidly fitted for the position and
it would be sad mistake to fail to send
him back another term. His conspicu-
Gus ability and services have attracted
the attention of many eminent men OF
other states, number of whom have
urged that his people should continue
him in the place in order that the ma
tion may have the benefit of his services.

il the order of nature, with all its

themselves and which comes from the

war has done in this way will probably
