nolds county circuit court convened
Monday morning.
In the proper column will be found
the announcement OF Langdon Jones,
as a candidate for Probate Judge for
Dunklin county. Langdon should
need no introduction to the voters of
Dunklin county, being a son of the
late R. H. Clipper Jones, who spent
several years of his early life at NAL
den and the last % years of his life as
one of the active, progressive citizens
of Kenneth; and a grandson of Judge
E. j. Langdon, one of the pioneer
citizens of the County, whose service
as County Judge will be remembered
by many of our citizens. Mr.. Jones
has qualified himself as an attorney,
and ranks with the leading lawyers of
the County, and his legal qualifications
will be a valuable asset in the trans
action of the duties of the office to
which he aspires. He has been an
active Democrat since he reached his
majority, as was his father before
him, and is of course seeking the Of
fee, subject to the action of the vot-
ers of his party.-Malden Merit.
