John S..LittIe.

The following notice Of this gentleman
we find in the Fort Smith Independent,
Of the 9TH, EXERCISES our sentiments SO
well, we publish and endorse it:
The name of Maj. John S. Little has
now been before the people for them to
consider his claims to reelection to the
office of Prosecuting Attorney of the
District, and the record he has made in
the courts we think will satisfy the pub
lie that he is altogether competent for
the duties of this Office. That he has
discharged the duties with faithfulness,
good judgment and energy not often
found in so young lawyer, we think all
will admit. He is a young man whose
affable department and soeiable manners
make him hosts of friends among people
who make his acquaintance. On bust
ness, he is easy of access; and in his
prosecution of men who are arraigned
on charges before the courts, while pur-
suing them with all the vigor the laws
require, his sense of right and wrong,
will give them all the lenieney to which
they are entitled. If there is any better
man tor this office, we have failed to be
impressed with the fact, and there will
have to be radical and cogent reasons il
we are ever induced to change our dis
position to support him first, last, and
all the time,
