member of the firm of Womack
& Turner, but the firm Of Wom-
ack & Turner will shortly be dis
solved and Mr.. Womack will be
come sole owner of the business.
He is not only a merchant but
lumberman, stockman and real
estate dealer, in fact he is quick
to see the advantages of any le-
gitimate business proposition
and equally as quick to make
good use of same.
Mr.. Womack takes an active
interest in everything tn a t
smacks of progress and public
spiritedness. He is chairman of
the Morgan County Democratic
Committee and directs the affairs
of his party with a steady hand.
He is a social leader and promi-
nent in fraternal circles. Has
been several times elected Mas
ter of his Masonic lodge and is a
Past Chancellor of his Pythian
lodge. u
But next to his business reIa-
lions Mr.. Womack is perhaps,
better known as a churchman
chan in any, other way.
He is an active, consistent
member of the Christian church
a I'd enters enthusiastically into
its work in all it's phases, spar
ing neither time nor money when
the good of the cause demads it.
70 him more than any other one
man the credit for the building
Of the magnificent new church
on the corner of Broadway and
Prestonsburg street belongs. His,
home is the Mecca of ministers
and church people generally and
in entertaining those of the
household of faith he finds his
chief delight.
Mr.. Womack was married to
Miss Martha r. Davidson in
1896 at the age of 10. Their life
has been peculiarly blessed.
They have three bright, healthy
children. a magnificent home,
elegantly furnished, and fully
deserve the prestige, business,
religious and social, which they
so abundantly enjoy. 8

WILLIAMS Williams;
Law Student and Young Man With
Ambition to Succeed.

Randals Williams, a product of
the country where the air is pure
and the water unpolluted. Born
on Elkfork, ten miles east of
West Liberty, nearly % years
ago, his boyhood was spent all
ternately working on a farm and
attending a rural school. All
though his opportunities were
limited he had in him the stuff
of which heroes are made and he
never despaired. Z
He entered the Normal De-
parted of West Liberty Academy
in the fall of 1908, attending two
terms, 190S-09 and l9O9-10. He
taught a district school in the
fall of 1910, after which he re-
turned to the farm and since
that time the school room has
known him no more.
He came to West Liberty July
10, 1911, and began the study Of
law under the instruction OF
Judge A. N. Cisco, which study
he is now pursuing.
Endowed by nature with q
healthy body and strong active
mind, which he has never i'm
paired by dissipation, having ne
yer known the taste of intoxicat
ing liquors, used tobacco, nor in
dulged in profanity or any othel
form of vice, he has it within hi
power to succeed at whatsoeve
he undertakes. 2
He is the eldest of five chill
dren, has been p dutiful son an,
an affectionate brother. He ha
a splendid capacity for makinl
friends and his motto is: Kind
ness, honesty and truthfulness

CLAY WADE W0MACK
Merchant, Tradssman, Churchman
And Exemplary Citizen.

Ninety-nine per cent of the
people require leaders and one
out of the hundred is endowed
by nature with the ability to
lead. Some men lead in the arts,
sciences, professionals industries
in some one or few of their va
rious branches but nome are quail
flied to lead in all.
C. w. Womack. a man of un-
limited possibilities, has chosen
merchandising as his special
field, and that he is a leader in
his line goes without saying.
Young in years, old in experience,
he has achieved a success in his
