is a candidate for the office of

Mr. Haralson is well and favor

cantile Co., of Augusta.
George Haralson comes from
one of Woodruff County’s oldest

served the county as sheriff with
credit to himself and his constit

said against his record as such of
ficial. The subject of this sketch
lays no claim whatever upon the

the duties of the office himself,
and do so with credit and honor
to the people who elect him to
this place. We gladly recom
mend his candidacy to the voters
of Woodruff County and ask that
when you go to the polls to cast
your ballot, don’t forget George
Haralson.

DR. C. H. BROUGH
The Next Governor of Arkansas
(Lonoke Co. News)
The next governor of Arkansas will be Chas. H. Brough; as
the campaign progresses the size of his following increases.
From the day he announced he has been the strongest candi
date in th* race and each successive development of the campaign
has added to his prestige.
Brough is an extraordinary man—in mental equipment, powers
of physical endurance, in democratic manner and sympathetic per
sonal touch and in ease of approach he has few equals.
He is a man of great learning, he does not feel ill at ease in
the presence of the most prominent and yet the humbliest man in
all the land, can shake his hand, and have communicated to him
the assurance that Brough is his friend.
These qualities account for the fact that wherever you go
throughout the state his candidacy and Brough enthusiasm is at
high tide—the realization of this is probably the fact that has
caused the withdrawal of so many other candidates, as the general
impression is that this is Brough’s race and that conviction cannot
be removed.
No one feels any misgivings in espousing the cause of Brough.
His name is untarnished and his record is undefiled; even ,the ad
herents of the other candidates have found no fault in him. This
no doubt accounts for the fact that since the withdrawal of T. C.
McRae southwest Arkansas is solid for the Fayetteville man.
The most incompetent man that has been in the race is
Hodges, every undeluded voter in Arkansas knows that; even the
few who are interested in his candidacy avoid a discussisn of his
fitness.
He also is withdrawing from the race by degrees and on the
night of the 29th of March he will be seen going to the land
“where the wood vine twineth, ” carrying his unexamined books
under his arm as a remembrance of the time when he was
4 ‘weighed in the balance and found wan ting.’*
Edgar Miller for Assessor
Although he has no opponent
and there is no likelihood of any
one opposing him for this his sec
ond term, Edgar Miller of this
city, has authorized us to place in
our announcement column his
announcement for re-election to
the office of tax assessor of
Woodruff County.
We are pleased to state that
Edgar is one who has made good
not only to himself, but to the
people who elected him two years
ago to the assessor s office. He
has done his work faithfully, cor
rectly and well and we know of
no reason why he should have
any opposition for re-election.
Mr. Miller does not ask for re
election because he is seeking a
second term, neither does he ask
the people’s suffrage because of
his being a cripple, but if he has
done his duty and is deserving of
being returned to the office, (and
he certainly does) then upon
these terms he asks that you give
him the office for another two
years. He has proven himself
qualified and competent and it is
with great pleasure that we rec
ommend his candidacy to the
voters at the coming primary
election in March.
Granville Wilson for Overseer >
In the proper column will be
found the announcement of Mr.
Granville Wilson of DeView who
is a candidate for the office of
road overseer of this, DeView,
Township, subject to the action
of the Democratic primary.
In presenting the name of
Granville Wilson for overseer,
we feel no hesitancy in saying
that, if elected, he will attend to
the duties of the office, imparti
ally and fairly to all parties
concerned.
Although a native of Tennes
see, he has spent the past 12
years here and is thoroughly ac
quainted with local conditions
and well knows just what is
needed so far as building good
roads is concerned.
Mr. Wilson is a gentleman,
clean, honest and competent, and
we bespeak for him a careful
consideration of his claims at the
hands of the voters of DeView
Township.

the proud parents of a fine baby
girl, said young lady making her
arrival at their home last Mon
day morning. It is needless to
say the young parents are very
proud of the little lady.—Clay
