Representative Wood Visits Parents of Congressman Wood.

Representative William L. Wood, of Parr, has been campaigning in Newton and Benton counties,the past week and especially in Benton county, where he has been warmly received. While, at Oxford he called on Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wood, the venerable parents of Representative Will R. Wood. He is past eighty years age and Mr. Wood is slightly younger. They are very naturally quite proud of their son and in this pride we feel the entire tenth district will share, as he develops into one of the country's most able members of congress. Congressman Wood was bom and .raised in Benton county and has always lived in either that county or in Lafayette. His old neighbors are loyal to him and his old boyhood acsuch as Attorney Frank Foltz, of this city, are among his ardent supporters.
