j position of district Judge of the

his appointment to the office
early in August by Gov. Coke

on the ballot for the Nov. 7
general election and takes some |
of the "guesswork” out of the
set-up for the Judge's race.
Other candidates are still
strictly in the "rumor" stage.
Judge Aldridge, 30 years old,
has lived In Farwell most of his
life. He attended tin* State Uni-
