Joseph G.. Cravens was nominated
for Judge of this judicial circuit on
Tuesday. Judge Cravens was ap-
pointed by Gov. Francis a year ago
last May, this being made a new Judi
cial circuit at that time. He found the
business of the four counties of Newton,
Barry, Mcdonald and Stone i'm very
bad condition from the neglect of for
mer republican judges, but now has
the business up to date and in proper
shape. Judge Cravens deserves much
credit for his untiring energy and
labor and just decisions. He has made
a faithful and upright judge and his
decisions have been generally confirm
ed by the supreme court and court of
appeals. -NeOsho Times.

with the SHOWS of many winters, and
yet they are in the enjoyment of good

father and mother, are among our most
esteemed citizens.-Boonyille Adver-
