No Longer DOUBT AS TO HON.
WI. dyer SEEKING REELECTION

Hon. w. L. Dyer is candidate for
reelection as mayor of the city OF
Lexington and has authorized the Ad-
vertiser to so announce him.
Having been born, reared and spent
all his life here he needs no introduc-
tion to our citizenship, VINO are fami-
liar with his career from earliest boy
hood up to the present time.
When barely of age he was called
upon to serve the people in the legisla-
ture, which he did with marked abili-
ty and with credit to himself and be-
nefit to his constituency. He has not
been an Office seeker in the common ac-
ceptation of the term, preferring to do
yoeman service for the party and the
county in the ranks. AS lawyer he
stands at the very forefront OF the bar
of Mississippi.
For long term of years he has
served IN the capacity of legal adviser
to the Board of Supervisors and has
been of great assistance to the MEM
bers in giving the splendid service for
which the Holmes county board has
for years enjoyed an excellent and state
wide reputation.
Two years ago he was elected mayor
of Lexington by a substantial vote
over number of splendid and capable
gentlemen and his record made there
is the hest criterion for the voters to
go by. Among the specific features
of the present administration is the
provision for the grading, raising and
graveling the court house squarc-in
conjunction with the board of super
visors long and badly felt want.
Also the building of commodious
brick school house for the colored peo-
ple both of which enterprises will be
completed this year.
In judicial capacity Mr.. Dyer has
ever proven himself absolutely fair and
impartial tempering justice with mer-
cy, and imposing such sentences upon
law violators as the exigencies and cir
cumstances Misunderstanding the
happy mean between laxity and severi-
ty. 1t is needless to say, that all at
tempts of the festive blind tiger to
make his lair in Lexington has been
promptly frustrated in the inception.
Liberal and broad minded and inti-
mately familiar with the law, as we'll
as possessing excellent executive abili-
ty, Mr. DYER is ideally equipped FOR
the position to which he seeks re.elec-
tim
