Sutton, Charlie Henry, Mr. Sutton was first elected Sheriff of Hancock County in August, 1932 and reelected in August, 1934 and again in August, 1936. He is the first man ever to be elected Sheriff of his county three times in succession, and at each election by an overwhelming majority. Prior to his election to the office of Sheriff he was engaged in general farming and livestock raising, in which he is still engaged in addition to his official duties. His father, George Sutton, was Sheriff of Hancock County for a period of four years from 1904-8 and had the reputation of having made one of the best officers the county ever had; the popularity of Sheriff Sutton is now attested by the overwhelming vote he has three times received. He was born in Hancock County on March 5, 1886, of English parentage. His mother was Lizzie Mahan Sutton. His paternal grandparents were Rufus and Nancy Dodson Sutton; his maternal grandparents were Henry and Martha Culbertson Mahan. Educated in the public schools of Hancock County.

One John Mullens, of Hancock County, Tennessee, was recently struck by lightning while working in the field. His clothing and shoes were destroyed, and he was driven so far into the ground that his sons had considerable difficulty digging him out. He was "almost dead," the story runs, when he was finally exhumed , though he has since recovered. This event ought to be a warning to Mr. Mullens. It is all very well for him to risk an occasional stroke of lightning, but he will find that he cannot make a practice of having himself driven violently into the ground by full-powered thunder-bolts, without sooner or later maintaining some injury. Not to speak of the trouble which such conduct on his part imposes upon the faithful sons who dug him out, he should remember that if he was "almost dead" on this occasion, he may be completely dead and buried the next time he tries it. Mr. Mullens' friends out to make an earnest effort to induce him to relinquish so troublesome and dangerous a habit.
