Judge W. F. Williams an nounees Ill The News this week as candidate for reelection to office of county judge. This is one of the hardest offices in the county to fill satisfactorily. and no man has ever vet been found who could run things so as to suit everybody He is "cussed for this thing and for that thing, altho he may have been acting all along for what he conceived to be the best interests of the county as whole. During Judge Williams tenure of office there have been some omplaintS. but those who know him will not for moment doubt his honesty or integrity, or that he has used every effort to serve the people faithfully and to advance the in- terests of the county. He has had the office only only one term, and will not likely have opposi- tlon for reelection.
