HUGH BARR MILLER.

In the proper column in this IS
sue of The Courier will be found
the announcement Of Hon. Hugh
Barr Miller for District Attorney
Of the Fourteenth Judicial District.
composed Of the counties Of CO.
piah, Lincoln and Pike.
Hugh Barr Miller was born in
Copiah county thirty.two years ago.
He was educated in the local schools
and at the University Of Mississip-
pi. taking his law course at that
institution under two Of the strong
est instructors the school has ever
had-Hon. q. d. Stands and Col.
Thomas Somerville. He is grand
son Of the late Judge H. A. Barr,
one of the leaders of the North
Mississippi bar, and is a son of
Hon. R. N. Miller, whose reputa-
tion al. a criminal lawyer is nation
al. The father in his younger
days was the District Attorney Of
the old Seventh District, of which
Copiah was a member, and the
State never had better one. The
son has the worthy ambition of
following in his fathers footsteps.
Mr.. Hugh Barr Miller has almost
grown up in the court room. Since
reaching his majority he has been
associated with his father in many
important cases, and has and is
constantly growing in legal ability
and acumen. His friends feel that
the experience he has had in the
handling of important criminal
cases gives him special qualifica-
tions to represent the State before
the courts of the district.
In addition to his qualifications
as a lawyer, Mr.. Miller is a gentle
man of the highest integrity and
unblemished character. He is
affable, generous, loyal to his
friends and singularly free from
narrow prejudlces; but far more
than this. he is Straight" a man
you can trust to the last ditch and
never acknowledges defeat in any
righteous cause.
Mr.. Miller will make the Dis
trict an able, vigorous and just
prosecutor; an incorruptibles. and
unpurchasable law officer, and
The Courier in behalf of the citi-
zenship of Copiah, presents his
name to the voters of the District
as one in every way worthy of the
high office and one who will guard
their rights sacredly, and protect
the property and lives of the law
abiding by netting out full punish
| ment on all law breakers. Halle
