INDUSTRIAL AND SOUVENIR EDITION OF THE ADVANCE Monticello, Arkansas, Tuesday, December 17, 1907 Page Five - Column Two Robert W. Wilson Robert W. Wilson to use his own expression, was born in "Possum Valley" and reared in "Scrougeout," both of which appellations apply to well known and well defined localities in Drew County. Mr. Wilson's early history is only the uneventful routine of farm life. He early manifested a decided ambition, however, coupled with a willingness to work for the attainment of his objects, and this characteristic has remained with him throughout his subsequent career. Mr. Wilson was educated in the common schools, Hinemon University School at Monticello and Ouachita College at Arkadelphia one year being spent at the latter institution. He also took a commercial course at Beauvoir College. On coming out of Ouachita College, Mr. Wilson began teaching and followed this profession for several years, the latter part of the time being spent in the Pine Bluff High School and Beauvoir College at Wilmar, Arkansas. After this he served for four years a private secretary to Congressman Joe T. Robinson of the Sixth Congress- ional District. This position opened to Mr. Wilson some splendid advantages and he was not slow to make use of them. It being his intention to enter the legal profess- ion, he began to study under Mr. Robinson, himself a distinguished and successful lawyer. On going to Wash- ington, he entered the National University Law School of that city and graduated therefrom in 1906. He was admitted to the supreme court bar of this state in the early part of 1907 and began the practice of his pro- fession in his home town, in March of the same year. He has met with very flattering success during the time he has been in the practice in this city and has been connected with some important cases. He was ap- pointed deputy prosecuting attorney for this county a few months ago and has made an enviable record in that office enforcing the law without fear or favor. Mr. Wilson begins his professional career unusually well equipped and has bright prospects ahead of him. Note: A picture of Robert W. Wilson accompanies this article.
