CHAS. r. BERRY ENTERS
 RACE FOR COUNTY JUDGE


 In our announcement column in this issue will be found the formal announ- cement of Chas. F. Berry, of Donald son, Ouachita township, for the office of County and Probate Judge.
 Mr. Berry is on of the substantial and able citizens and one of the lead- ing democrats of the county. While he has never held county office he has always taken keen interest in public affairs and is recognized by his many friends as man of ability and sound judgment. In his own township he has been identified with the public af- fairs for many years, having served as Justice of the Peace and School Di- rector, which offices he has filled with credit and distinction. As farmer he has shown remarkable efficiency and is one of the most successful in the county. His ideas are progressive in all things-yet he is man who anyl- izes things before he forms opinions.
 His ability to successfully meet the requirements of the office to which he aspires is not questioned and should he be elected the tax payers of the county will have safe man as their county and probate judge.
 This paper takes pleasure in com naending his candidacy to the voters of Hot Spring County.
