Will D. Suiter Writes
Tribute to V. B. Harris
and its future development.
Few public servants are to be
found who have such broad-
minded and uunselfish desire to
do what they know to be the
be^t for those whom they are
ser'':ng, under such circum-
stances. But Judge Harris was
bi« enough and good enough
citizen to take the criticism
good naturedly and without
complaining. This is only one
of the many unbiased services
which Judge Harris rendered
for his county, but so complete-
ly illustrates the great char-
acter which he was that we
cannot refrain from calling at-
tention to it.
Born near the center of the
county, when in its primeval
slate, he knew its citizens,
their failings and short com-
ings, but was never given to
finding fault and criticising.
In oiscussing persons who we
sometimes think have failed in
many ways, he often said to
us, if we had been reared un-
der the same circumstances
and surrounded by the same

one of the greatest yet.

done worse.
That Judge Harris taught
by high example, never under-
taking to drag others down,
but at all times doing all he
could to uplift those with whom
he came in contact and to as-
sist in all good undertakings,
is known to all who knew
him. His going to that great
and good reward, prepared for
tne faithful, leaves his loved
ones and all of us in sorrow.

Judge Will D. Suiter of Winns-
boro, long time resident of
Wocd County and friend of the
late Judge V. B. Harris, this
week mailed to The Monitor a
tribute to Wood County's belov-
ed Number One citizen. Judge
Suiter's article follows:
A Friend Has Gone.
As we enter into the New
Year with all of its promises
and misgivings, we reflect on
the past year with its bless-
ings and disappointments, ana
all of us recall the recent sad
death of a friend to Wood
County and all ox its citizens.
Judge V. B. Harris. We all
realize that a dear good Irienu
has gone, a friend who gave
piactically all of his long ano
useful life unselfishly, to the
service of his county and com-
munity, a friend who was fore-
most in the advocacy of any
and all things which were fo.
the betterment and building
up of Wood County and the
welfare of its ciizens, a irieni.
who did not falter in doing
his nonest and patriotic dui„
lor his county, even though it
meant a great sacrifice foi
him, both financially and poli-
tically, a friend upon whom
the most humble citizen could
rely, whose honor, honesty, and
fair dealings were never ques-
tioned by any.
This is all true in the mem-
ory of the writer, who had the
esteemed privilege of being
his close friend, and, for about

four years, his partner in the
practice of law, and who fully
realizes the great loss of the
passing on of tuch a true and
tried friend.
That Judge Harris was a
profound lawyer with wonder-
ful native and highly cultivat-
ed ability, was never ques-
tioned by any adversary ir
any court, and the wonder of
all was that lie so modestly
and retiringly used his bril-
liant and unquestioned ability.
But Judge Harris' greatest de-
sire was to unselfishly serve
h> home county, his neighbors
and friends, and he watched
with great delight the various
developments of his county and
the success of his friends, tak-
ing nothing unto himself, but
rejoicing at the success of
others and especially at the
many changes for the better
in his home county.
As county judge, county at-
torney, and in every other ca-
pacity in which Judge Harris
served his county, his sole de-
sire was to do his duty hon-
orably, honestly and without
reference to persons or local-
ity, in the way which was for
the best interest of all and
nothing could swerve him from
this course. This was strik-
ingly illustrated in the early
nineties, when some of the for-
ward looking citizens of Mineo-
la decided that it would be a
great step forward for the
county, and especially for the
City of Mineola, to build a
dump and bridge across the
Sabine River and its valley.
It was found that the cost to
Wood County would be about
$6.000; and almost all of the
county outside of the immed-
iate Mineola territory, raised
a great cry against the prop-
osition on the ground that all
of the county was called upon
to pay the amount and that
Mineola was the beneficiary,
and circulated and had signed
petitions to the Commissioners
Court to turn the proposition
down. The commissioners vot-
ed two for the proposition and
two against it, and Judge Har-
ris, with his big and broad
conception of his duty and for
the best interest of his county
and its future development,
although it was stated that a
majority of the citizens of the
county had signed petitions
against it, voted for the prop-
osition, after some of the most
substantial citizens of Mineola
had made bond guaranteeing
the upkeep of the dump and
bridges for ten years. This
wiiter was couny clerk at the
time the ten years expired
and unhesitatingly states that
the good citizens of Mineola
carried out their obligation and
turned the dump back to Wood
County in as good, if not better,
condition than when it was
built, and we all now know
that the act of Judge Harris
in voting for the construction
of the dump was one of the
greatest acts of his life and
one for which every citizen of
Wood County should be thank-
ful. To have heeded the re-
quest of the petitioners in this
li,stance would have been a
great political victory for Judge
Harris and which he well lyiew,
but it would have been a cala-
mity for Mineola and a disas-
trous mistake for the pbunty
