GEO. T. MITCHELL FOR CON-
GRESS.

In this issue of the journal we
present to the people of the
First Congressional District of
Mississippi one of Mississippi's
most worthy and foremost young
men, as a candidate from this
District to a seat in the Lower
House of our National Congress,
Honorable George T. Mitchell of
our city.
For the past five years Mr..
Mitchell has served the First
Judicial District as prosecuting
attorney and during that time he
has added laurels to his already
high standing as a lawyer. Hav-
ind completed both the literary
and law course at the University
of Mississippi, he began the
practise of law at Pontotoc and
soon displayed those high quail
tiles of mind and judgment
which are only found in men of
the highest order. His literary
attainments are recognized wher-
ever he is known and his superior
legal attainments have won for
him aforemost place at the bar of
the state. AS a prosecutor Mr..
Mitchell is always fair and at
no time is he disposed to prose-
cute where, in his opinion, the
state is not justified. Where
the law is violated, he is uncom-
promising, and the defendant at
the bar must realize that he will
be prosecuted with all the force
and vigor that is characteristic
of the man.
The people of the district
could make no mistake in elect
ing Mr.. Mitchell to represent
them in congress. Their interest
would be safely guarded and he
would reflect much honor anc
credit upon those who favored
him with their support.
