pointed him to the Office of circuit
attorney for that judicial district, a trust
which he discharged with fidelity and
signal ability for several years. In 1887
the ''Platte Purchase" was annexed to
Missouri by an act of congress, the petition
for the same having been written by
Judge Wood, at the request of the COM
mittee of citizens appointed to draft the
document. He was later elected as a
Wing to represent Clay county in the
state Legislature. In 1S45 he moved to
Lexington, which was at hat time the
best town on the Missouri river. He
continued to practice law here until 1854,
when he was elected judge of the circuit
court. In This position he displayed
eminent wisdom, prudence and legal
ability. His decisions were clear and
forcible, and based upon the highest
principles of law and equity. In 1856 he
resigned and went to st. Louis, where he
again entered upon the practice of his
profession. He remained in st. Louis

1909. The Wood family descended from
two brothers who emIgrated from Eng
lane and settled in Albemarle county, Va.
In England, the family was immensely
wealthy, one of them having died there
about forty years ago leaving an estate
valued at no less than forty million
pounds sterling. But the heirs in this
country failed to realize anything from it
owing to the plumbers and rascality OF the
agents appointed to administer on the
estate.
Judge Wood wal licensed as a lawyer
in 1928, at 10 years of age, and in the
following year left Kentucy on horseback
for Missouri, reaching the home OF his
brother, General Jesse t. Wood, In
Columbia, Boone county, on the 18th OF

GEORGE G. VEST.

The Lafayette county democrats will
name their choice today for United
States senator. The INTELLIGENCER
has no a to believe hat George
Graham Vest is not the choice of the
democrats of this county. 1t has every
reason in the world to believe that he
IS the choice and that the county con-
vention next Monday will be practically
unanimous for him.
Vest has made a national reputation
In the senate. Upon this reputation
there is o a single blot. He has stood
by the people who have elected him,
and has fought with his wonderful
ability and energy for doctrines of
democracy.
On every question that affects the
interests of the people, he has taken an
unequivocal position. He has never
faltered in carrying out public trusts.
Vest is q fighter who is free from
demagogy. He don't skirmish much,
but goes, taking his ability and integ-
rity with him into the thickest of the
fight.
His services in the senate are unex-
celled. A nation owes him a debt OF
gratitude for his public service.
Missouri has honored HIM much. She
still honors HIM, as he has honored her.
Missouri owes it TO herself to send Vest
back to the senate. She owes this also
10 the nation. He is our brightest and
best available man, and Lafayette
county should send out to this state a
resolution for his reelection that will
show that she appreciates his valued
public service.
