SMALL APARTMENT FOR
RENT- MRS- T. J. MOLLOY.
To the People of Shelby and
Panola Counties:
1 am yielding to the reqnest
of many of the best people of
the district to seek re-election
as their district attorney, who,
along with you, realize that
the public prosecutor, and par-
ticularly the District Attorney,
is one of the moot important
officers chosen by the people,
one requiring ability, expert
, ence and fearlessness in the
prosecution of crime—and up-
on whom rests the safety of
the people and their right to
be protected from those who
transgress their laws.
Inasmuch as the very life of
the wrong-doer is at stake, by
means of his all, and often by
the very means of his loot, he
chooses the ablest and most
powerful lawyers in the land
to defend him and to foist his
wrong upon the people. It is
important and necessary,
therefore, that the people also
choose the (best attorney they
have to represent them, be-
cause every crime presents a
serious and usually a perma-
nent and irreparable injury di-
rectly to somebody, and indi-
rectly to everybody, and every
wrong-doer who escapes with
his crime becomes doubly a
threat and a menace to the
people. Indeed, upon tiitrDis-
trict Attorney rests squarely
the safety of the lives of the
people and the preservation of
their rights and their property,
and this district has been ever
mindful of these truths, be-
cause irrespective of terms and
times, it has kept its ablest
lawyers in Hs district in eh&rge
of the prosecution of its of-
fenders.
As your humble servant and
District Attorney, I do not
contend that T have been your
o«st, or even equal to many,
living and dead, who have so
illustroualy served you; but I
have tried to touch the hem of
their garment and to emulate
them. Although born of
chance and frequently visited
with misfortune, I have kept
faith and kept.irying; and
out of the confidence invested
in me in private business as
well as in public office, I have'
acquired In the actual trial at
many cases, civil and criminal,
on the side of the plaintiff and
the defendant, such experi-
ence and ability as a district
attorney should have as a suc-
cessor to those kefore me who
have so ably and honorably
served and as is comprable to
the ever increasing . responsi-
bility of what our newspapers
last week said was the greatest
crime wave in history.
My friends, the greatest
conflict of all times has abated,
hut the tragic and devastating
effects of it will abide with us
forever. We cannot say we
have won if we do not build
upon our victorious achieve-
ments a better and a happier
way of life for all of our peo-
ple. In it all, it was my privi-
lege to serve and to touch the
lives . of thousands, perhaps
more than any other person in
Shelby county, perhaps in my
district—I saw them, leave
with determination, and now. I
see them coming back , with
medals at victory and glory. I
believe I know their spirit arid
their problems; and, as I serv-
ed them while they were away,
I want to serve them since
they have come back in what-
ever good they want to do. We
who did not go will never he
able to repay our debt to those
who did, but so long as we
shall live, we should try to
even the score, in service, and
in gratitude. We have much
to do, and 1 shall take my as-
signment, whatever it be, and
do the best I can.
Yours sincerely,
N. B. D. BAILEY.

Telephone switchboards arc
mighty busy these days. We have
less reserve equipment to handle
surges of calks which occur during
bad weather or in advance of
holidays. With hundreds of fami-
lies without telephone service, it
has seemed best to use up such
reserve equipment to bring serv-
ice to some of the people waiting.
To telephone users generally,
during most hours of the day,
there, will be fitde difference in
the speed of service. During busy
hours, when the heaviest volume
of calls is made, some people may
find the operator is not so prompt
as usual in answering.
As tost as possible, wc 8<-e push-
ing the installation of new equip-
ment here, so that we can bring
service to all those who are
writing.
