 Judge Thomas moved to Clar-
 endon in 1888 and has been
 prominent in the affairs of this
 county ever since. He was elected Circuit Judge of this dis
 trict and his record was most en- viable. His splendid business ability was shown in the con- duct of his courts. He never allowed technicalities to interfere with or hamper the progress of the wheels of justice. His rulings were always fair and clear.
 Judge Thomas is the senior member of the firm of Thomas. Lee & Thomas, one of the lead. ing law firms of Eastern Arkan. sas. He is identified with the business and, financial interests 'of Clarendon in a most prominent way and is highly respected for his splendid ability and many sterling traits of character. He is Superintendent of the Metho- dist Sunday School. and is an active member of the Methodist church and stands high in church councils.
 It is not out of place in this sketch to note that Judge Thomas is Monroe County's candidate for Circuit Judge in
 the approaching March primary and is to be hoped that the county will be honored by his election.

The ARGUS expects to present during the next few weeks a sketch of each member of the Monroe County Bar. In beginning the series it is not out of place te say a few words of the gentle men composing the bar as a whole. Their recent act in sign ing an agreement in which they pledged themselves not to accept a blind tiger case" or defend a person charged with illicit liquor selling, has brought to them the thanks of the entire law abiding citizenship of Monroe county. It is said that from every pulpit in the county during the past two weeks they have received the thanks and plaudits of the ministers and churches for their manly and honorable action which means more in the way of better morals and law enforce ment than anything done for years in this direction.
 Along at the head of the list which was signed by every Mon roe county lawyers was the name of Judge J. s. Thomas, the nes : tor of the Monroe County Bar.
 Judge Thomas was raised on a farm in Prairie county and served thro' the war as raliant Confederate soldier. he began the practice of law at Des Arc. He was elected County Judge of Prairie county for three terms and is said to have been the best County Judge ever in that
