His Stomach Troubles Over.

Mr. Dyspeptic, would you not like
to feel that your stomach troubles
were over, that you could eat any
kind of food you desired without
injury? That may seem so unlikely
to you that you do not even hope
for an ending of your trouble. but
permit US to assure you that it is
not altogether impossible. If others
can be cured permanently, and
thousands have been, why not you?
John R Baker, of Battle Creek, Mich,
is one of them. He says, L was
troubled with heartburn, indiges-
ton, and liver complaint until l
used Chamberlain's Tablets, then
my trouble was over" Sold by all

New Cemetery Fence.

Through the untiring efforts OF
Mrs R ] Kirk and Mrs w V Brock
ington funds were secured for the
purpose, and during the past week
a good steel wire fence was erected
around the old Baptist cemetery
near the Black river bridge. This
plot has practically been abandoned
as a burying place and for some
wears past has been without any
protection from the ravages of stock
and trespassers. At the regular
evening services at the Baptist
church Sunday night the new fence
was presented to the church by Hon

JURIST RETIRES AFTER
 P YEARS OF SERVICE
JUDGE EVANS OF FIFTEENTH DISTRICT DID NOT ASK
 FOR REELECTION.

Judge Jeptha H. Evans, for 22 years of the Fifteenth judicial cir cult, has retired in favor of Judge James E. Cochran of Paris. Judge Evans home is at Bonneville, in Lo- gan county. He did not seek re- election.
 Judge Evans served perhaps the longest consecutive period on the bench of any circuit judge in the history of the state. He also has been prominent in state politics and wes mentioned several times for United States senator. He was per manent chairman of the state Demo- cratic convention in 1912.
 At the ceremonies held in connec- tion with formation of the Logan County Bar Association at Bonneville October 26, Judge Evans was pre- sented with a silver-handled umbrel- la. Previous to the presentation, Judge Evans was placed on trial be- fore the bar association on informa- tion charging that he had rigidly en- forced the law The case was styled The Violators of the Law, the Enc mics of Good Government and the Bar Association vs. J. H. Evans.
 Judge Evans was very popular in his district and probably could have been again elected to the bench had he sought the nomination. The Eff teenth judicial district is composed of Logan, Franklan and Crawford coun- ties.

FARMERS
 TO SOW WHEAT

James Thedford and William Grounds, prominent farmers of Ap- lin township, went to Perry Monday
 and took home sixty bushels of red
 May wheat, says the Perryville News. The farmers of that vicinity have formed a club and will each plant lot of wheat. A Touring mill at
 Philadelphia is furnishing many : farmers of this county with red
 wheat which they will SOW, and thus cut down the cotton acreage. Several hundred bushels will be sown in
 Fourche valley. J. A. Rankin has an
 order out for a lot of seed wheat for
 farmers at Cherry Hill and others near town. So we will have a large
 crop of wheat in Perry county in 1915. More bread and less cotton
 seems to be the sentiment of the peo-
 pie this year.
 . A considerable acreage of rye and turf oats has also been sown and is up and looking well.

TWO CONWAY TEAMS
 ON FOREIGN FIELDS

Two Conway football teams are to- day battling on foreign fields, Conway high school playing Lonoke high school and the Hendrix Reserves playing Russellville high school. The high school lads, accompanied by Coach Bob Shinn, departed last night for the scene of their struggle, and wee in hopeful moods as they board ed the train The dope is favorable to them, the Normal having defeated Lonoke, to o, week ago, while Shinn's scrappers have twice won from the Teachers this season.
 The Hendrix aggregation, accom- panied by Assistant Coach Reynolds, left on this mornings train for Rus sellville. The Hendrix -Russellville game should be a close affair, as both teams are said to be about evenly matched.
 Both teams will return to Conway tonight.

FEET TO BECOME 0BsoLETE7
In View of Present Cheap Electric Conveyances There Seems to Be
 Such a Possibility.

As result of the quick and cheap modes of conveyance prevalent nova days people are not walking so much as formerly, asserts a writer in Lon- don Answers.
 There was period when we were able to move our ears at will, but dis use of the organ did away with the power. It is possible that our feet may one day become obsolete.
 In the year 1912-13 3,219,857,293 was the stupendous total of the mum. Der of passengers carried on the cleo tric tramways aLd light railways of the United Kingdom.
 In the steam period of 1898 the num- Der of passengers carried was 858, 8,4S5,. 542, and in the day of the horse, 1879, the figure reached 150,881.515.
 The public have certainly gained in convenience, but not in health. There has never been any dispute of the fact that walking Is the most health giving and natural exercise possible. And yet 1t does not come within the daily curriculum of the average man and woman to exercise natures own equip. ment. but bus or car is~hailed.
