E. M. CARL-LEE
For County and Probate Judge

Our readers will note in the
proper column the announce
ment of Hon. E. M. CarlLee of
Augusta, who is a candidate
for the office of county and pro-
bate judge, subject to the ac-
ton of the Democratic pri-
mary, May %.
If there is a man in Wood
ruff county known to practic-
ally every voter in the county,
that man is Hon. E. M. Carl
Lee and we feel that he needs
no Introduction at, our hands.
We will state however, that
the gentleman has served this
county as representative and
this district as senator, and was
elected a delegate from this
county to the constitutional
convention. He is shrewd
politician, an excellent cam
paigner, and a man who, if
elected, will no doubt make
Woodruff county an excellent
judge.
Mr.. CarlLee is we'll qualified
in every way to look after the
duties of the office of county
judge and will give the same
his undivided attention. He
has many friends in each part
of the county and they, as we'll
as he, will appreciate any sup
port given his candidacy. We
ask that his claims be given
careful consideration by the
voters at the coming primary.

E. w. CLANCY
For Representative

In the proper column of this
paper will be found the au-
thorized announcement of Mr..
E. w. CLANCY who is candi-
date for representative Of
Woodruff County.
Mr.. CLANCY is we'll and fav-
orably known to the voters of
this county, having made the
race for the above office four
years ago. He has spent his
life at Tip where he has been
engaged in farming and teach
ing.
He holds first grade certi-
fcate from the State Board
of Education and is thoroughly
competent to look after the
peoples interests should he be
elected to the office to which
he aspires.
The gentleman has been
closely affiliated with the
Democratic party, has served
as secretary of same in this
county and is asking for the
office upon his ability to eff
GENTLY represent his constit-
uency. We ask that his claim
be carefully considered.

E. D. ROBERTSON
For Chancery Judge

The attention of the voters
of Woodruff county is called
this week to the authorized an
nouncement of Judge E. D
Robertson Of Wynne, who is a
candidate for Judge Of this,
the Fifth Chancery District,
subject to the action of the
Democratic primary, May %.
Judge Robertson has been
faithfully attentive to the du-
ties of the above office which
he now holds and has very
modestly earned the respect
and admiration of the people
of his district. He has spent
the greater portion of his life
preparing and equpping him
self to be just such lawyer Of
judicial temperament and
ability as is needed on the
bench.
He has reared an interest
ing family and has given three
sons to Uncle Sam to make the
world safe for Democracy. He
does not claim any favors be-
cause of his sacrifice above
mentioned, however, but asks
that he be reelected solely
upon his experience and abil-
ity to fulfill the duties of the
office which he seeks.
We ask that his claims be
carefully considered before
casting your vote for one to
serve you in the above capac-
ity.

SMILES AND TEARS, GET MIXED.

Two little stories came to the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
a short time ago. One was story of
bravery that brought the tears, and
one a elle of tears that brought smiles.
The first story was Of soldier who
asked for light. He was In bed. and
a cigarette was between his lips, plac-
ed there by the nurse after she had
finished spreading his blanket up
smoothly. At his question, she turned
and gave him box of matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with
out hands.
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears in her eyes as she
turned to strike the match and light
the cigarette for him.
"Quit that" he said. "they were good
mits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before. lost them, but they
amt worth crying about, so there!"
And the tears story that brought
smiles? Well, that was the story OF a
big, husky, colored man. who sat read
ing, and the Red Cross worker at the
canteen saw that he had tears running
down bis cheeks. She was curious 10
know what he might be reading and
was astonIshed when she looked over
his shoulder to see that 1t was the
canteen cook book.
He smiled through his tears as he
saw that she was watching, and said,
sheepishly, 'You sure must excuse me.
