BY law passed at the recent called
session OF the Legislature, i: is provided thai
you shall elect the Clerk of the District
Chancery Court at Holly Springs By the
solicitation of numerous friends, | have been
induced to become candidate for that office /;
and OF course, | she'll feel gratified and hon
ored for the suffrages of a sufficient number
to secure my election.


The shortness of the period intervening
before the election, will render il impractical
bic for me TO call upon each voter, and com
pels me TO address you in this, the only way
in my power.


The proper performance OF the duties of
the office | ask is highly important to the
people of the District. By reason of the inn
portant character of the litigation carried on
IN the Chancery Court involving, as it does,
titles to lands, and personal property, to an
extent probably equalling that of all the suits
PiOSONutS III tnt 0IfCuu courts OF the 1 us
rict. OF my ability to discharge those du-
ties, II becomes not me to speak | have re-
sided in the county of Marshall since the year
1885, and for the last three years have been
engaged in the office of the Clerk of the Cir
cult Court of that County; end have thus
had an opportunity of acquiring a know
edge of the duties of Clerk, which ought
10 enable me to discharge, in satisfactory
manner the duties of the Clerk of the Dis
trict Chancery Court My acquaintance in
the District is unfortunately rather limited,
and must refer those of you whom have
not the pleasure of knowing personally, to
the citizens of my County generally, and TO
those more particularly who have had busi-
ness to transact in the Clerks office of the
Circuit Court of Marshall County, for infor
nation in regard to my character, and quail |
fcations for the office | am seeking at vour
hands THOMAS LOuAX
