Pecan Point., May 11 1800.
Editor Times: The continued
solicitations of friends, both in this,
and the upper end of the county:
urging me to become a candidate for
the nomination as Represt nUtive,
prompt me to ask space in your val
ublc paper, that 1 may define my po
sition.
I have no political aspirations
whatever: I am not an office seeker
in any sense of the term. Nothing
could induce me to canvass the coun
ty for the nomination. I have a
good field to work in Im-e, in my
particular line, and my time is taken
up completely with this duty, 1 have
neither inclination nor desire to leave
it. Should I receive the nomination
at the primaries 1 would accept and
do all in my power to render accep
table service, solely from a ser.se of
duty. 1 appreciate the interest mnn
ifested by friends; am not a little
proud of the confidence expressed;
1 would be unnatural, not to feel so;
but even this could not induce me
to seek recognition, at the hands of
the party, by canvassing for the
nomination. If there are others, whose
aspirations run that way, 1 trust they
will not longer delay, but announce
themselves at once, and the lucky
one, with the other nominees, may
safely count on my support und in
fluence from the go to the end, I am
not a candidate.
Respectfully,
Titos. G. Brewer.
To the Voters of Mississippi
County.
Having already announced tn you
my candidacy for the office of Sheriff
and Collector of Mississippi County,
I deem it not amiss to give you a
few reasons why I ask your votes
and influence ii: the primaries, to be
held June 7th.
I do not pretend to have any
claims wliatner, upon you or the
party, on which to base my eleva
tion to office, but as a fellow citizen,
domiciled in your midst, almost from
boyhood, endeavoring to do my duty
to my neighbors; t<> assist in the
progress and welfare of my county;
and in the support and protection of
the Democratic Party. 1 ask for
your suffrages because I desire the
Office; and believe myself compe
tent to fulfill the duties of the same,
not only to my otvn profit, but to
tho best interests of the entire com
munity. As to my qualifications
and integrity, most ol you have had ,
some opportunities of judging, the ,
acts of my administration as assessor
for two years, and us deputy sherili j
and collector, under the late Mr. :
Hayes, for three years and a half,
arc before you, and by these, I am
ready to stand er fall in your esti
mation.
If, through the compliment of
your nomination, 1 am elected to the
office to which I aspire, I pledge my
whole time and ability in I he honest
and faithful performance of my duties
to my county and her people, irre
spective of party or previous condi
tion.
Should another than I, be chosen
as your standard bearer, I haxe,
simply, to say: “I am a Democrat,
in the true sense of the word, and
that whatever my party orders, I
shall always obey, most
Vou will never lind me a ‘'bolter
or a traitor.
Yours Truly,
J. A. I.OV EWELL.

OSCEOLA, ARKANSAS. SATURDAY, MAY 17. 1890
To the Voters of Mississippi
County.
1 take this method of announcing
myself as a candidate for the office
of Sheriff and Collector of Mississip
pi County, subject to the action of
the Democratic party at the prima
ry election, which will come off
June dh, 1890. My motto is to
make an honest and gentlemanly
race on my own merits as a demo
crat and my ability to fill the posi
tion to which I aspire, and not upon
tho disability or demerits of any of
my opponents; they are both clever
gentlemen, and as to their ability
and qualifications, I haven’t a word
to say. 1 Lave no urgent claims
upon the people of Mississippi
County, no more, at least, than any
other citizen who wants the office.
-And now, dear citizens, 1 want the
office and will be pleased to have
you support me, and if (dected, will
do all in my power to bear the dem
ocratic Banner to victory in Missis
sippi County; and if defeated will
say or do nothing in tl:c Primary
Campaign that wiil cause me to
make another campaign before the
general election to smooth and cov
er over my record, but at the same
time will do what I can to shove the
good old party to the front.
Pledging myself to the support of
tin ticket made up at the piimaries,
and should I not get to see you be
torc tile primaries, I hope vou will
not think it is because 1 do not want
to see you, for I do; and want all of
your votes, and if tiie roads and
weather will permit 1 will try and
see you all; that is, if my opponents
insist on it.
1 am yours, hoping to bo your
obedient servant,
A. L. Ci-sei.i..
Carson Lake, MAV,l2th 1890.
Editor Times: —Again, after a
long silence 1 am afforded the
pleasure as well as the time, to
chronicle for the columns of tho
Times aline or two. The high wa
ter has left us, and farming has be
gun in earnest, a number of our
neighbors being done planting the
precious cotton seed, and that that
is up never looked better notwith
standing the high water and the con
tinued rains; the people of this lo
cality are about as far advanced
with their crop work as those who
were not troubled with the overflow.
Log- rolling for the pas', twenty live
days has been the by-word, ami or
der of the day. But they are on a
decline now, Thanks! may those
days never again return, they can,t
though for all the logs I think in
twen'y-five miles have been rolled.
The boys came very near filling up
the Turtle Handle, but they didn’t
quite make it, for there were too
many fine ones in the pool and
crowded out the logs. Carson Lake
is literally chock full of the finny
tribe, pretty days her banks are
lined with seekers for the brainy
food, quite a number have been
caught the past week.
The hand shaking among the. boys
is beginning; occasionally, although
early, an aspirant makes his debut.
As yet they are few but ere the poll
books are closed, they’ll lie a great
deni fewer. The convention 1 am
told is to occur on the 7th of June.
Why so soon? lam also aware that
there are several farmers who are
interested in this matter. Persons
wdio, at this stage of the game have
their crops tn pitch and lay by, be
fore they could gtt a hearing. Give
every man a fair show, let the con
vention be held at a time when every
one who is interested can have a
fair ami square fight, and the best
man will get there, Some have
nothing but the canvass to attend
to, while others have to look to
their way of livelihood. Let the
convention be held « mouth later,
tap the drum, and let the horses
stait. In this way there would be
no after collapse. It is fair for all.
Any 'vav vou fix it the best men are
going to win.
Mr. G. B. Utter who has been
confined to his bed for several weeks
with fever is convalescent.
The proprietor of the Turtle
Rancho is all smiles. He’s going to
stay with the racket, fodder or no
I fodder.
i (lur esteemed and worthy friend,
| Ed Pittman, is out for Assessor ac-
I cording to ti e Times Ballot Box
Vote. Ed’s a hu.'tler. He is a lit
tle slow, but sure. Just, wait till
big hmirted Ed. spreads himself, and
I’ll go you 10 cents to a ginger cake,
he gets there all the same. Whoop
’em up Ed.

It is rumored that wo are to have
! very soon, in our midst, a debating
society. This is a step in the right
direction,
Mr. Robert Wate, of Tennessee,
has donated n tract of land in our

Everybody is hard at work, the
