Roy Mitchell for Treasurer
The Home News takes •'pleas
ure in presenting this week the
authorized announcement of Mr.
Roy Mitchell of Hunter, Caney
Township, who is a candidate for
the office of treasurer, subject to
the action of the Democratic pri
mary, March 29, 1916.
Mr. Mitchell was bred and
reared in Woodruff County and
has spent his life on the farm
where his work has always been
a pleasure rather than a burden
as is the case in many instances.
He has found time, however,
along with his work to acquire a
good education a portion of which
was acquired during the two
years he spent in the Augusta
High School under County Judge
A. L. Hutchins who was at that
time principal.
The subject ot this sketch is
widely and favorably known over
the Southern * District of the
county where his modesty and
tact have always made him
friends. He is thorough, exact
and correct in all he does and, if
elected, will make us a courteous
and efficient treasurer. The best
wishes and votes of his friends
and neighbors go with him in
this race. At home he is termed
“Our Roy” and his people feel
a deep interest in his being the
successful candidate in the above
race.
As we said in the beginning,
we take pleasure in announcing
the candidacy of this deserving
young man and we ask that be
fore casting your vote on March
29, to please consider carefully
the claims of this gentleman who
will greatly appreciate your
support.
The people are failing to rally
to the cry of the Hodges support
ers, who ask for Hodges for Gov
ernor and a legislature to sup
port him. So far, five-sixths of
the representatives chosen favor
the election of Dr. C. H. Brough,
all the majority of those to be
elected, if local conditions speak
aright, will be in about the same
proportion.

date for road overseer of DeView
township, was talking to the vot
ers of McCrory Monday.
Mathis For Representative.
In the proper column of this
paper appears the announcement
of Ross Mathis, candidate for re
presentative. In commending
this young man to the Democra
tic voters of Woodruff County,
we feel that we can do so advis
edly. Mr. Mathis is a young man
and a young lawyer, and a credi
table example of home produc
tion, having lived in Woodruff
county since his birth twenty-five
years ago, and having been edu
cated in the common schools of
his county. By his own efforts
he has fitted himself for the
practice of law, and although he
was admitted to the bar only one
or two years ago, he has already
manifested those characteristics
and attainments that mark him
as one of the coming lawyers of
Eastern Arkansas. He is an
easy, graceful and forceful speak
er, is familiar with the civic and
economic questions of the hour,
and with the needs of the people
of his county and state. As your
representative, we believe he
would serve with honor to him
self and with credit to the county
and that he would at all times be
alive to the interests of his con
stituents.
Ross has a host of friends all
over the county who are predict
ing his selection by the people of
the county by a large majority.
We believe that should he be e
lected, he will justify the confi
dence his friends feel of his abil
ity, and that the people he repre
sents will have no cause to regret
sending him to Little Rock.

Deputy Clerk N. N. Cain, one
of the most popular and highly
respected officials of Woodruff
County and who has charge of
the clerk's office at Cotton Plant
was a pleasant visitor to our city
Saturday.
The many friends of Ivy Echols
will be glad to learn that his ap
pointment as postmaster of Cot
ton Plant has been confirmed by
the U. S. Senate and that he will
soon be in full charge of Uncle
Sam's affairs in the above metro
polis of the Southern District of
Woodruff County. The above
gentleman is one of Cotton
Plant’s leading and most popular
citizens and will no doubt give
universal satisfaction in the
above capacity.
