Smith In our regular announcement column appears a notice for the candidacy of Mr. N. T. Smith for the position of District Judge. Mr. Smith is a native for this parish and has resided among us all his life. Until he was twenty years of age he farmed, then moved to Robeline where he worked in a drug store and put in his spare hours reading law under the direction of Mr. I. F. Carter. Subsequently he came to Natchitoches and completed his studies in the office of Cunningham & Tucker, being admitted to practice after standing his examination before the Supreme Court. Mr. Smith has practiced law for twenty years. By his patient attention to business he has succeeded above the average lawyer. For a time he was in co- partnership with John M. Tucker and for a number of years practiced with the editor under the firm name of Cunningham & Smith. Since the dissolution of that firm he has been associated with M. L. Dismukes in the practice. If the judgeship of this district is entrusted to his hands it will be safe and his many friends will appreciate the honor.
