Judge Cooper Remem-
bers The Children
The Review takes pleasure in an-
nouncing the candidacy of Mr. H. L
Richardson for the office of Commis-
isioner of Precinct 4 and 5 subject to
the democratic primary.
Mr. Richardson is one of the sub-
stantial citizens of Lake Creek com-
munity and resides on a farm just
i east of the town, where he has been
a resident for the past 27 years with
! tne exception of 3 1-2 years he was
j away, two years of this time having
I been spent in the county.
Mr. Richardson is a man of strong
character, sterling worth and integ-
rity, and his neighbors speak of him
in the highest terms. He has never
sought office in his life, and is only
announcing for this place on the earn-
est solicitation of numerous citizens
of both the precincts. They believe
he is eminently qualified to fill the
office of commissioner to the best in-
terests of his people and credit to
i himself.
Mr. Richardson states that, if
elected, it shall be his policy to build
the highway and other roads where
they are now located and he will do
his best to secure the best roads ob-
jtainable for the funds at hand.
He will appreciate your support.

and Wagon Burn
A load of seed cotton and a nearly
new wagon in which the cotton had
been loaded when picked was burned
a few miles north of Cooper Monday.
The wagon and contents belonged to
Harvey Brunson and he was getting
ready to take it to the gin when it
was in some way set on fire by some
children playing on the cotton.
