Friday, 30 June 1916--We publish a likeness of B. Earl Cowherd (Kathy's notes: the photo was very dark), who is making an active campaign for prosecuting attorney. He was born near Santa Fe, Monroe county, of Virginia and Kentucky stock, and is a grandson of the late Benj. E. Cowherd, for whom he was named. His father, Jno. McNutt Cowherd, is a nephew of the late Dr. John McNutt, of Middle Grove, who was the family physician of many of the pioneers of this county. Earl Cowherd began life on his own resources as a teacher at 17, and after teaching five terms of school took a four-year course at the university of Missouri, where he graduated from the law department in June, 1909. He passed the state bar examination and was admitted to practice six months before his graduation. After graduation he chose Moberly as his location and began the practice of law here, moving to Huntsville in September 1912. If elected we will again have an opportunity to welcome him and wife as citizens of Moberly. He has never before sought or held public office, except one term as city attorney of Huntsville, where he was elected two years ago by a vote of 429 to 173 over his opponent.
