ing signal success in that particular
branch of his legal duties. He has
borne an excellent record as a lawyer
and a citizen, and is justly held in
high repute by both bench and bar.
In prosecuting his professional work
he displays splendid skill, judgment
and vigor. and has been retained in
many important cases in the courts
of his city and county, and his legal
acumen has placed him foremost
among the members of this honored
profession in his home county, where
he has a large personal following and
a most substantial clientele. Mr.
Wood is thoroughly equipped for the
practice of his profession, as he has
extraordinary ability and we'll rounded
legal education. Added to this, he is
a man of genial personality, many
warm friendships, and possesses a
laudable ambition to excel in his pro-

He is, also, a progressive citizen and
has strength of character and strong
mental vigor, which gives promise of
a long and successful career. Being a
loyal and wide-awake son of a county
famed in history for its wealth, culture
and refinement, he is naturally a Wig
orous and influential factor in the adj
vancement of his home city and coun-
ty, in this new era in Kentucky's his
tory.
Mr.. Wood has always taken an act
i've interest in politics In the Blue
Grass State. He is an ardent Repub-
lican and a firm believer in the teach
ings and traditions of the G. o. P. as
by Lincoln, Grant, McKin-
ley, Roosevelt and Taft. He has de-
voted much of his time to local polit-
ical interests, and is the friend and
advisor of the leading representative
of the State. Mr.. Wood
has never sought political preferment,
but in case he does, no doubt his party
fealty will be rewarded, as he is am.
ply capable of filing any position with

complimentary sketch of a deserving
gentleman who is a recognized leader
