BALL PLAYERS
ARE RE|NSTATED

Baseball fans at Hendrix College
were delighted by the announcement
in chapel exercises this morning that
the faculty had decided to lift the sus-
pension of the five members of the
ball team and permit them to engage
in regulation association games dur
inc the remainder of the season. This
means that Hendrix will get back into
the championship race and endeavor
to repeat last years achievement of
winning the state collegiate pennant.
Coach w. o. Wilson said today the
team is in good shape. Although it
seemed for while that no games
would be possible this year, the sus-
pension of the players weakening the
the team to such an extent that Coach
Wilson disbanded the squad, but the
players kept up their daily practice
and are said to be in good condition.
Efforts are being made to secure two
games with Ouachita at Conway,
which are the only contests Hendrix
had cancelled. The remainder of the
schedule with the collegiate teams will
be played as originally scheduled
Hendrix will play Cumberland at
GAINESVILLE Monday and Tuesday and
probably GO to Fayetteville for games
with the University Wednesday and
ThurSday

1t will be welcome news to dyspep-
tics to learn of remedy that, in the
opinion of thousands, is an absolute
cure for indigestion and all forms Of
stomach trouble, and, better still, it
is guaranteed to do SO. The remedy
is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
We all know the value of pure pep
sin in indigestion, and add to this
some exceptional laxative ingredients
and you have a truly wonderful rem
edy. Mr.. T. w. Worthy of For
sythe, Ga, got to the point where
he could not even eat or digest veg

bad predicament with his stomach,
took Syrup Pepsin and is now cured.

PROCLAMATION.

Whereas, 1t has been represented to
me that on account of the long hard
winter, the late spring, the excessive
rains and overflows in Faulkner coun-
ty, many of the citizens will be unable
to arrange for the payment of their
taxes by the 10th day of April; and,
Whereas, have been requested to
extend the time for the payment of
taxes in said county for reasonable
period, in order to give the citizens a
better chance to meet these oblga-
tions; and,
Whereas, 1t appears to me that it
would be just to do so and that no
hardship would be caused anyone by
So doing, now,
Therefore, l, George w. Donaghey,

time when the penalty may attach for
IT, non-payment of taxes in the said
County of Faulkner until the 10th day

ports by wire Wednesday, regarding

mates that it will cost 100000 to

Conway people, but confirmation
strengthens the evidence.

case is right at tsns,

again endorse them. This remedy did

it. l procured Doan's Kidney Pills
from the White Drug Co., and since

D. r. READ, EDITOR.

Relative TO the division of Calca-
sieu parish, the division papers OF
the parish are making a grand stand
play upon the action of the re-
cent parish division convention
representing the will Of the people.
Now this is all tOmmv-rOt, and there
is not a we'll informed man in the
parish but that knows it. There is
no one who is even half way familiar
with the conditions that exist in Cal
casieu parish, bat that knows that
the division of the parish on the
proposed lines is in no sense the will
of the people, and that, should Gov.
Hall be as fair to the people as was
Gov. Sanders, and submit the pro-
posed division to referendum vote
the question Of division would be de-
feated by an overwhelming ajority.
Our representative knew this, when
he stated in his opening address to
the convention that it would be i'm
possible to decide on set of lines
upon which the parish could be divid-
ell if left to vote Of the people.
The delegates many of whom were in
structed to oppose division if there
was any chance to oppose it in the
convention, know it, and everyone
who is familiar with the referendum
vote on the subject less than two
years ago, knows that the people
expressed in no uncertain terms their
opposition to division. The action
OF the convention in adopting the
lines submitted to the convention does
not represent the will of the people,
but it does represent the will Of a
few POLITICAL schemers and wire-ypll
ers OF few of the towns of the par
ish which hope to be benefited by
division.
