County Judge Paul Celia of
Miller county, Arkansas, has is
sued his ultimatum that he will
not issue any saloon licences TO
keep open saloons on the East
side in Texarkana. Among 9th
er things, the Judge says that he
had carefully inspected the ma
jority ballot and found that the
majority consisted chiefly of
negroes, and that he did not
propose to jeopardize the homes
of the white element by issuing
a license on a mojority vote of
that sort. The judges decision
has proven a bomb to the pros
pective saloOnists in that part of
Miller county, and there is much
CONSERVATION in their camp.
While Judge Cella's proclama-
ton may not meet with the APP
proval of a certain class of people
it certainly shows that he has
the courage to do right as he
sees it and the backbone to re-
fuse to do something he knows
would be detrimental to the peo-
pie of Miller county. The best
people Of Texarkana and Miller
approve of Judge Cella's deter
mination and uphold him in his
position, though at first it may
appear somewhat arbitrary. The
judges decision should be read
by all, as it is both a manly and
just construction of his position
as county Judge.

that is that yesterday he was

about four miles from Harelton,
when he was fired on by a man
from a ditch Several of the
shot took effect in his body and
legs, but the greater portion of
the load of buckshot hit the

shot him but, he refuses to tell
and says when the man shot him

What Arc You Going
To Do This Winter

There are undoubtedly a mum.
Der Of readers, young men and
women, who will be- idle n good
portion of the winter months
Could you employ that time to
better advantage than joining
my class and becoming com
petent teiegrapherY You would
then have learned a trade at
which you may always command
good wages in any part of the
country and which may be an
opportunity meaning great sue
cess for you. Your employment
would be for the entire year and
at good salary, not for few
months only in the year. Your
work would be light and pleas
ant, hours short, and it leads to
the highest positions in railway
and telegraph service. More
than eighty per cent. of the rail-
way and telegraph officials in
this country have risen to their
present splendid positions from
the ranks Of the telegraphers.
Never in the history of
the railway and telegraph
companies have such excellent
opportunities been offered young
people entering their service.
Any executive officer of a railway
or telegraph corporation will
state without hesitancy that they
never experienced greater diff
Guilty in securing competent help
than at this time.
There will never be better
time and opportunity to take up
this work, and those who wish
to take it up should join the class
that starts Jan. 6. A good trade
is better than riches. 1t should
be remembered that in learning
a trade or profession you are
acquiring something that will be
a benefit to you and remain with
you as long as you retain your
senses and life lasts. Nothing
can rob you of it, it cannot be
squandered, and it is always at
your service
And there is no other trade or
vocation requiring so short a
period of preparation, which
pays so we'll, or which offers so
many opportunities to the am
bilious young may or woman as
telegraphy.
