ful to all the people of the Plains.
I shall do my best to merit their
confidence. I feel that the work

thanks to the people of Carson
County for their help in the con-
gressional raee.
I wish to take this means of
thanking my friends, who stood
by me so loyally during the con-
gressional campaign. Due to the
fact that I have spent all the mo-

bills to pay, it will be impossible
for me to even write you a per-
sonal letter at the present time.
I take this means of thanking
you, and I want each and every
one of you to know that even in
defeat, it warms my heart to
think of your consideration and
your steadfast friendship. To
those who voted for me whom I
had never met personally, I also
extend my thanks for your con-
fidence in me and your confi-
dence in those who do know me.
I will always be grateful to you.

'Eighty-six years old, Judge
Southwood had been a resident of
Carson County 53 years, coming
here in 1887.
He held numerous county offi-
ces, among them the assessorship
and judgeship. He had been a di-
rector of the First National Bank
of Panhandle for the past 15
years.
Survivors include the wife,
Mrs. J. E. Southwood; two sis-
ters, Mrs. Virginia Kinsey of San
Francisco and Mrs. Bertha Brad-
ley of Clayville, Va., and a bro-
ther, Lee Southwood of Spokane,
Wash.
Upon his arrival in Carson
County, Judge Southwood worked
with a surveying crew, platting
town lots and surveying the land
block owned by Fineli, Lord and
Nelson. Land then was selling for
$2 an acre.
In 1905 he located on a section
of land a mile east of Panhandle
where he since had been interest-
ed in farming and stock raising.
Judge Southwood- was born in
Martinsburg, Va., on March 5,
1854. His parents were Edward
Ellis and Karin ah Southwood,
both families being prominent in
the state.
When Judge Southwood was
two years old his parents moved
to Missouri.
At the age'of 19 years, he star-
ted west in a covered wagon with
;> neighbor for whom he worked.
They settled in Kansas. In 1886
Judge Southwood drove a herd of
cattle from Dodge City, Kan., to
Memphis in Hall County. This
was the first herd of registered
Herefords brought to Texas.
In company with nine other
men the judge filed on land near
Old Clarendon for the Finch,
Lord & Nelson Cattle Company.
In 1890 he entered the grain, coal
and ice business. In 1S92 he was
elected county tax assessor, serv-
ing two terms. In 1908 he was
elected county judge.
Late in 1911 he married Miss
Dena Held, a teacher in the Pan-
handle public schools. Since that
time the Southwoods had lived on
the original filing site.
