Consider for a moment the new j
sheriff of Cata>vba countyv O. D. j
Barrs: . j
Back in the campaign days one of
the Barrs supporters; a fellow by
the name of Huffman, approached
Barrs and asked:
"What would you do after tfhe
flection if you should, "catch 'one of
us fellows who are supporting you
with some whiskey?"
"Want the truth?" Barrs in
quired.
"Sure," answered Huffman.
"Well, I'd arrest the whole bunch!
of you," the. sheriff-to-be said.
This month after Mr. BatTs became j
Sheriff Barrs : he caught Huffman j
with 30 gallons and arrested him. j
There is an officer for you, one j
that men will have respect fbr and I
