JUDGE GOULD IS
 10 MOVE AWAY Will Accept Management of Big Bonding Go. In Chi cago or St. Louis
  RUMOR WE'LL FOUNDED
Advertises All His Property For Sale Here-His Successor to
 Be Named.

County Judge James Gould, who is now serving his second term at coun- ty and probate judge of this county and was recently nominated by all overw helmingly majority for third term, will in all probability move away from Pine Bluff within the next few months and assume the manage nent of one of the largest bonding companies doing business in the North, with headquarters at either Chicago or St. Louis. Although we'll founded rumor is in circulation here to that effect, Judge Gould would neither confirm nor deny the report yesterday, but those who are in posi- tion to know state that a magnificent salary has been offered Judge Gould by the directors of the bonding com- pany as an inducement to get him to take hold of their affairs.
 The correctness of the rumor is strengthened by an advertisement. which appears in local papers, in which he offers all of his city and county realty holding for sale at once He recently disposed of his fine cotton plantation at Noble Lake, this county, to Northern capitalists for nearly s5O,o00.
 It Is stated and authoritively, too, that Judge Gould will leave Pine Bluff about May 1 and that announcement of his future plans will be made at that time. His present term in the county and probate judges office ex- pires October 31. His nomination for q third term is to be approved by the voters of this county at the general election n September. He will prob ably tender his resignation to Cover nor Donaghey at the proper time and his successor will be named by the governor.
 Judge Gould was formerly president of the Arkansas Good Roads Asso- citation. He served this county as sheriff two terms and has made the best county judge it ever had, His gOod road improvements, his drain age schemes and his wise adminis- tration of county affairs has result ed in great good to the county and the state generally. He is regarded

JUSTICE COURTS
 ARE UNPR0FITABiE
Effort to be Made to Abolish Them at the Next Session of the Ark
 ansas General Assembly.

Little Rock, Jan. S.-(Special) - Since the Pulaski county grand jury filed with Judge Lea such a severe denunciation of the conduct of the local justice courts and the way they have been conducted, there has been
 all sorts of indignation expressed, and at the next session of the Gen. eral Assembly, a bill calling for a constitutional amendment will be intro duced t. abolish justice courts in the cities of the first class. The grand jury showed where the justices were getting SO per cent of the amount collected from violators of the law, and in some cases the court records did not even show fines which had been collected. The grand jury fur ther discovered that the local justices were not only self sustaining, but they have drawn from the treasury for officiating in felony preliminary hearings, at least s5,O0o during the last year or more than they have put in.

THE SNOW. THE SHEET
 AND THE Dt. MP
Weather IIns No Eject on Trade

About the best test of promises and performances was pulled off yester~ day at Simon's Dump Sale. Circulars announcing the sale were distributed further emphasized the event, the weather man sent snow and sleet to bar the way, but on they came; peo- pie came from miles around, disre- garding the conditions under foot and over head, in order to be on hand the opening day. And promises were full filled to the letter
 By this time the name Dump Sale is so imbeded in the minds of the peo- pie in this vicinity that it takes more tha nbad weather to keep them away All day long the greatly enlarged sales force was kept busy dealing out genuine bargains which everyone found exactly as advertised and by closing time things were in state of much mix-up from handling. Although many of the best things were snapped up by the first-day traders there are yet a goodly lot to be had and the provident buyer will realize consid- erably by losing no time in visiting the store of Simon's and r,mmaging among the many alluring values to be found. It is certainly a commend ..Dle feature and an admirable trait on tn part of SimOn's to offer good merchandise at bonafiie cut prices in these days of tricky dealing. The Dump Sale will continue for two weeks and the saving man or woman will do well to take this advice and visit this sale without delay.
