To the People of Powell
County:

am a candidate for the Dem.
ocratic nomination for the Office
of Circuit Judge in the Twenty
Fifth Judicial District.
Ever since | was admitted to
the bar, twenty-four years ago,
have had an ambition to serve
on the bench as Circuit Judge.
During all this time, 1 have been
making such preparation as was
necessary to qualify myself 20
properly fill this position. AS
the present incumbent, Judge j.
NJ. Benton, has held this Office
for two full terms of six years
each, and part of Judge Scott's
unexpired term, feel that it is
not improper at this time for
me to ask the people of the dis
trict for an opportunity to serve
them as CircuitJudge. This Office
was not made a life office by the
statute and hope the people will
not make it life office, but will
give younger man a chance for
advancement and promotion.
| am not a candidate for any
other office than that of Circuit
Judge and if elected, | will give
my entire time to the proper adj
2inistratiOn of the duties of that
office, and that office alone, with
out fear of or favor to any influ.
ence whatever. If nominated
and elected, | will give an abso-
lutely square deal to everybody
exactly alike.
| have had five years exper-
fence as Judge of the Madison
County Court. l trust that my
candidacy, which is not cOmpli-
Gated by any entangling alliances
of any kind whatever, will com.
mend itself to your interested
consideration.
Sincerely Yours,
W. K. SHACKELFORD.

TRY THIS FOR NEURALGIA

Thousands of people keep on
suffering with Neuralgia because
they do not know what to do for
it. Neuralgia is a pain in the
nerves. What you want to do is
to soothe the nerve itself. Apply
Sloan's Liniment TO the surface
over the painful part-do not rub
it in. Sloan s Liniment penetrates
very quickly to the sore, irritated
nerves and allays the infiamma-
ton. Get a bottle of Sloan's Lini-
ment for rs cents of any druggist
and have it in the house-against
Colds, Sore an dSwollen Joints,
Lumbago, Sciatica and like all
ments. Your money back if not
satisfied, but il does give almost
instant relief.

An ordinance passed by the
town board setting a license of
$500 on places selling soft drinks,
ETC., went into effect January /,
but so far has not been enforced,
and many of our citizens are
wondering why something is not
being done. Two of our business
houses have stopped handling
these drinks, claiming that they
cannot afford to pay such a H.
cence, but the third is still sell
ling away, aud so far has taken
out no license. If the ordinance
was passed with the intention of
enforcing it, why not do so, or if
1t is not to be enforced, why not
withdraw it? The present course
will only result in more trouble
later on.
