fuel in any of the homes for eighteen
months. Pneumonia, tuberculosis and
other diseases resulting from lowered

thousands of the inhabitants as a re-

these noble people out, because they
objected to the German army's pass

Thousands of prisoners whom the
Germans have taken are dying. Their

TO THE VOTERS OF THE
18th JUDICIAL DISTRICT


The Honorable w. K. Abernathy, Of
Selmer, is a candidate for District At
torney General Of the District, and
because we know him both as a man
and as a lawyer, and because the po-
sition he seeks is a public Office, we,
the undersigned members of the Bar
of Selmer, County and Town officials
and business men of Selmer, take
pleasure in telling the public what we
know Of Mr.. Alternately and his fitness
for the position.
He was reared in this county and
most Of his matured life has been
passed in Selmer. He has held sew
cral offices of trust, including his
services in both branches of the State
Legislature, and served with distinc-
ton as Speaker of the Lower House
He made strong record in both
houses by standing and voting for all
beneficial and progressive measures,
and especially for all law enforcement
measures.
AS citizen and lawyer, he believes
in the vigorous enforcement Of all
laws, and his life and conduct furnish
the best witness to this fact. He is
an able lawyer and has been a sue
cessful practitioner in this and other
counties for more than fifteen years.
He is very strong advocate; is nat
urally very quick Of perception, has
fine memory for names, faces and de-
tails, but withal is fair to witnesses,
to opposing litigants and attorneys
and respectful to the court and all its
officers.
Believing there is no better equip
ped and fitted man for this important
Office living in the District, we take
pleasure in giving him our most
hearty commentator and our most
cordial support.
