J. W. BRODNAX, SENIOR POLICE JUROR, RETIRES AFTER 28 YEARS
For the first time in 28 years, the ballot this January will not show the name of J. W. Brodnax as candidate for Police Juror from the Fifth Ward. And for the first time in all those years the ballot will include the name of some other candidate from that district, for, throughout his long term of continuous service to Morehouse Parish, J. W. Brodnax was opposed only once in the election.
Serving longer than any other man, Mr. Brodnax spent 22 years as President of the Police Jury. The only man now living who was a member of the group when Mr. Brodnax was first elected is S. J. Harrell of Seventh Ward. Mr. Brodnax says that he will probably attend Police Jury Meetings for a while, because is interest in the activities of the group will not lag now, after more than a quarter of a century of active participation. . . .
In 1916, when Mr. Brodnax first took his seat on the Police Jury, there was not a hard service road in the parish. Now there is as fine a network of improved roads and highways as can be found in the state. Twenty-eight years ago, Morehouse Parish was deeply in debt, while the parish can no pay cash for everything. Morehouse Parish has borrowed no money in 10 years, and owns $60,000 in War Bonds. The Police Jury voted $1,500,000 in bonds, and has met payments promptly, with the bonds two-thirds paid out.
Other advances made during Mr. Brodnax's long term include the purchase and complete payment of the old hotel building, now used as a parish office building, housing the Ration Board, Health Unit, Welfare Office and AAA. The Courthouse has been remodeled and a new jail built. . . .
Always a farmer, Mr. Brodnax says he has never spent a day of his life off the farm, except during vacation trips to other states, where he was always interested in observing farming methods carried out in other parts of the country. He made the 54th consecutive crop on is 1200 acres this year, and takes pleasure in daily horseback rides to supervise the progress of his work.
Besides running his farm and his cotton gin. Mr. Brodnax has his duties as President of the Oak Ridge Bank to keep him busy. A short run into Oak Ridge to th e bank is on his daily schedule.
Born in Raised in Claiborne Parish, Mr. Brodnax came to Morehouse as a young man, choosing it for its rich soil and plantation potentialities. Here he has made himself an integral voice in the life of the parish.
