The many friends of Col. Thos.
J. Wood will read with regret
his card in another column in
which he expresses his declina
tion to further prosecute his as
pirations to the office of State
Senator. Col. Wood is a gentle
man of the “old school,” a loyal
friend and his record as a legis
lator ir 188- and 1888 is sufficient
indorsement, if any was needed,
of the character of a senator that
he would have made his district
We feel that the people have been
deprived of the opportunity to
vote for a good man.

the announcement of Mr. J. R.
Fulgham for the office of County

from District No. 8, during which
time he has always has been at
his post of duty, faithfully and
honestly striving to represent
the best interests of his constit
uency and the county. He is a
man of unquestioned integrity,
conversant with the duties of the
office and would make Oktibbeha
a good Treasurer. He asks a
careful consideration of his claims
at the hands of the voters.

the United Presbyterian parson
age 4 , in the presence of a few

They are both very popular

wishes of all who know them.

A Card.
To the voters of the 23rd Sena
torial District, composed of the
counties •of Oktibbeha and
Choctaw.
But for that I, had announced
to some of my friends that 1
would be a candidate for State
Senator from said district at tlie
ensuing democratic primary elec
tion, I would deem it entirely
unueccessary to use this method
to impart to you the information
that lam not now any longer to
be considered as an aspirant for
the honorable and responsible
position.
To those of my friends who
have been so hearty and cordial
in my behalf, I feel profoundly
grateful and tender to them my
sincere thanks and appreciation
and beg to assure you that it
would afford me real pleasure
to reciprocate the same in a more
substantial way than these poor
words express, if opportunity
should present itself.
Let my faults be what they
may ingratitude can not be re
membered among them.
Again thanking one and all,
and wishing each good health,
happiness and prosperity, I am,
Yours truly,
Thos. J. Wood.
