We are authorised to annopuce Da. J. F. KELLY, of Grant parish, as a andidate for Sena- I tor from the 27th district of Louisiana, composed of the parishes of Grant,Winn and Caldwell, subject to nomination by the Democratic party. for Distrist lude. We are authorized to announce EDWIN G. HUNTER as a candidate for Judged the 13th Jn- dicial District oomposed of the parishes ' of Rapides and Grant, subject to the ao tiaon of the Democratic party. for Diirt Auttorny. We are authorized to announce the ,name of JOrN C. RYAN a a candidate for District Attorney of the Thirteenth Judicial Distrot, compos- ed of the parishes of Rapider and Grant, subject to nomination by the Democratic party. for Clerk of the Court. We are authorised to announce J. J. O'QUINN as a candidate for Clerk of the Court, subject to the action of the Democrats of Grant parish in making their party nominations for office. for Sheriff. We are authorized to announce M. E. SWAFFORD as a candidate for Sheriff and Ox-Officio Tax Collector of Grant pariash, abject to the Democratic nomination. Thegrand jury report will befound in this issue In view of the fact that a special committee has lately inve- tigated the treasurer's books and ae- co 1 nte, and the matter has otherwise been thoroughly placed before the public, from the date the committee closed the accounts they find the ame co'rect. As thegrand jury state that they have "no axe to grind," and have labored to discharge their duty justly and fair, we take the will for the deed and accept their finding as afruestatementof present condltions and a correct solution of the contro- versy. J. T. Wallace obr Senator. We are authorized this week to place the name of Mr. J. T. Wallace, of Winnfleld, before the citizens of Grantparish as a candidate for Sena- tor from the 27th district, composed of Grant, Winn and Caldwell parishes. He holds himself subject to the action of the Democratic party In making nominations, and is particularly hopeful that the nomination may be by primary election, since that is the method that seems to be most ap- proved by the people. Mr. Wallacels a native of Missslsep- pi, but has spent almost his entire llein Louislana, inWinn parish. His activity in political circles, in which he has always been In line wlth the regular Democracy, has made him possibly the best known man in the district. He is a whole-souled com- panion, and makes and retane friends readily. He has been a practitioner in the courts for the past ten or twelve years, and is a lawyer of considerable repute. He was born in June, 1850, and is therefore now nearly 50 years of age, ripe in experience, and excep- tionally well qualified to represent the district, being thoroughly familiar with all It. needs and desires. We doubt not he will receve'a liberal and hearty support by his friends throughout the district, and if elected will fill the position with credit to himself and satisfaction to thepeople. The Tapelo Journal thus urges the advantages of a small farm: "No investment of a small sum brings such good rsults as that in- vested in a small farm. The head of the average sized family with reason- able industry and intellgencecan bet- tsr provide the necessaries and com- forts for his family on a good little S5iS farm than he -an by moving to town and trying tolive out of a mei- cantile business in which he invests ten timehtheworthof thefarm. The caacityof the farm to supply the nssaresof lie can only be mess- und by the numbers who are able to make demand on it through intelli- gent labor. Many of the delicacies which town anddctypeople pay high pricesfor cn be had withoutexpense and with but little trouble or labor. Itis wonderful What good resultscan be had oat a small armis IntlrUluitly Wtm-anaged." murD - Distict Court-Civil Term I His Honor, uape 1•F.

It is a-rand, good maedisene. For sale by J. H. MeNoely, Coteax; Bush & Randolph, FairmontaL It seems to be the general opinion that the race between Hons. W. F.
