Lowe were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony at the home of the bride’s
parents on Tarkington Prairie, Rev. H.

The bride is the accomplished daugh-

Mr. Anderson is a son of Mr. and

To the srood Voters of Mont-
gromerp County;—Please listen to
our plea and arrant our request.—
There is one thing sure, vou can’t
possiqly do wrong »n giving J■ F.
Rose your vote. You have all to
arain and nothing to lose, for if
you elect Mr. Rose you will have
a first class official and also in
giving him vour vote you will be
doing a Christian act, as Mr. Rose,
is physically unable from the loss
of his leg to do manual labor. So
by electing him as County Treas-
urer vou will enable him to pro-
vide for his family in a better
manner. It is true the office only
pays a small salary but with econ-
omy Mr. Rose can support and
educate his children,

cf the people and the Texas De-
mocracy has stood for this reforrp
for years, but Governor Colquitt
is opposed to the proposed change
and still asserts that he does not
believe, that the people should scckg
have anything to do with the
election of Upited Staees Senators.
The Democracy of Texas has
declared that the governmental
devices known as the initiative,
referendum and recall are matters
that each state has a right to deal
with for itseif, and that any state
which sees fit can rightfully try
the policy, and tbs National Dem-

The Courier’s space is pretty
well taken up by candidates who
wish to place their claims before
the voters, and as a result a great
deal of local news has been crowd-
ed out, as well as most of our
county news. The dose of the
campaign is dose at hand, and as
soon as that is disposed of wc
will havs mors tints to devote to
the news feature of the paper.

Some Ueasons Why F.
W. Pitts Should Be Re-
flected Commissioner.
Because when he went into office there was not a
Ne-
sted bridge nor a mile of graded road in his precinct. There
is now five steel bridges completed and three more under
contract, and about thirty miles of graded roads, and teams
grading every day.
BCCaUSC when the road grading was let by the yard
and mile it cost about $750.00 a mile to grade, and it now
costs about $400,000 a mile.
Because the general or third class fund was over
$40,000.00 in debt, and now there is only about $16,500.00
registered against it, and by February 15, 1913, said fund
will be on a cash basis, something not heard of in this county
before in thirty years.
Because he has lived in Montgomery county 52
years and paid taxes since he was 21 years old.
Because he *s oof a candidate or servant of any
special man or set of men, but tries to serve all with equal
fairness and justice.
Cast your vote for him on July 27th and show your ap-
preciation of a faithful officer.
