 RESIGNS AS ASSESSOR
Personal Business Makes It ImpOs. sible For Him To Give Position
 Time It Demands.

w. c. Crittenden yesterday re- signed as member of the board of assessors of the Free Br dge Im- provement District and asked that hls resignation take effect as soon as the vacancy could be supplied. MT. Crit tenden stated that he regretted to re- tire from the board, but that he is unable at this time to give 'he duties of the place that time that it de- manis, owing o his private business affairs. At this season of the year, when the assessors would be in the midst of the heaviest work imposed upon them, MT. Crittenden's cotton crop must be handled and he is forced to look after it personally. Because of this and other business he found it impossible to give h. time to the work of the board.
 It is generally believed that Leo M. Andrews, a prominent business man and resident of this city will be elected to succeed MT. Crittenden. The other assessors are c. H. Trip lett and Marion A. Hudson.
