 Our announcement column th,s week again discloses the fact that Hon. ,5no. H. Tipton and MT. Q. P. Wolff. two of our most valuable officials, aspire to reelection to the responsible positions which they now fill. MT. Tipton has been elected to the ayoralty of thls city for three consecutive years and his off cial record stands out clear and brilliant before the people-beyond reproach or ad. verso criticism. Mir. Wolff has made Forrest City one of the best peace officers since the towns in corporation, ana has been chosen marshal by handsome majorities for five terms. This fact speaks loud in his favor, and is demon. strative of his popularity as an officer and his fitness for the office. Both have the best interests of the city at heart, and conduct the affairs df their respective branches of municipal government fearless. ly, conscientiously and intelligent. ly. They make no extravagant claims upon the people, but as men of action and ability, come before you while yet in the harness, 80 to speak, and ask your permission to "dr,vo on" tor another term. Every voter Is familiar with their past records. They ask no more than that you exercise your own judgement in case they have op. position for the positions to which they aspire, and that you remem- Der when you cast your voie on election day to let'it be for the best interests, growth and advan ce- ment -four town.
