JUDGE J. A. LEA
 TO PRACTICE LAW

Judge J. A. Lea, who retires this week as county clerk, will soon open up an office for the practice of law in Conway, he stated to the Log Cabin Democrat today. After study ing law privately, Judge Lea was ex- amined and admitted to the bar sev- eral years ago, and his long experi- ence in three of the most important county offices has familiarized him with the practice and usages of the profession. He expects to specialize in cases in probate, with which he has had much experience, both as judge and clerk of the court, and on real estate cases. Several clients have already put matters in his hands to handle for them as soon as his term of office expires, Judge Lea states, and he expects to begin at once to devote his time to his new profession.

THURSDAYS CAME 10 BE PLAYED HERE BULLDOGS YS. LOUISIANA Final Game of the Season to Be
 Witnessed by Record
 Breaking Crowd

The football contest between Hen- drix and Louisiana will be played on Russell field here Thanksgiving. The game, originally booked for Conway was transferred to Ruston, but the students objected. They held a mass meeting and arranged for the sale of a sufficient number of tickets to guar antee expenses of the visitors Coach Bill Headrick this afternoon received a telegram from Ruston officials an- nouncing the Molasses Makers would be here for the game.
 The Bulldogs are in good condition for the contest, Coach Headrick said Every man on the squad will be in shape to play, according to the coach No scrimmages have been held since last Friday. Only signal drills will be held before the game
 Preparations are under way to ac- commodate an unusually large crowd The merchants are expected to close their stores at 2:15 o'clock for two hours, and many visitors from out of town will be here. The game will start at 2:30.
 Louisiana has strong team. It defeated Ouachita at Hope this sea- son, 10 to 6. Henderson defeated them, II to 0, and few weeks later trimmed the Bulldogs, 19 to O. This gives the Louisianians an edge on our boys, but the charges of Coach Head rick hope to win.

The contest for the speakership in the next house is becoming little warm. The legislature will be in ses- sion almost before we are aware. There is larger field of aspirants for gavel honors than usual, and it is not likely there will be much thin ming out until the caucuses are open ed the week preceding the converting of the general assembly. In the meantime other ligk.,Zing rods may be raised in the hope that the lghtn- ing will strike.
 Avowed candidates for the speak ership include Lee Cazort, w. B. Brooks, Jo Johnson, T. S. Osborne, Brooks Norfeet, U. A. Gentry, and J. D. Doyle, while receptive candi- dates are Louis Josephs, Ben Meier rin, and John A. Riggs. Those whose names are omitted from this list are privileged to add them without extra cost.

LITTLE ROCK WILL VOTE DECEMBER 4 HOT CONTEST FOR MAYOR Contest for Speakership of House Warming up-Other Live
 Capital News.
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, Nov. 28.-Little Rock IS In the throes of a municipal pri- mary, which is to be held on Tuesday, December 4. There are seven alder men to be nominated, but they are over-shadowed by the contest for mayor. There are two candidates, the present executive, Chas. k. Tay- Tor, and Dan Daniel, member of the city council. Virulent personalities have been injected into the campaign, especially by the opposition to Mayor Taylor, under whose administration of five and half years greater pro- gress has been made in material and moral way than ever before in the history of the city. Ward meet ings are being held in all the thirteen precincts of the city, and thorough organizations are being formed that will get out the full vote of the city.
 Mayor Taylor openly charges that the only issue is whether the city shall continue as it is, or whether it shall become wide-open town where various things shall be tolerated that have been outlawed by this admins tration. Mayor Taylor has had to make a fight for every nomination, and it is the same old ring of malcon- tents for the most part that consti- tutes the opposition. Taylor's friends point to his record of things accom- plished, and to the fact that Little Rock is a clean, moral city, in sup port of his candidacy.

As the time for the changes to be made in state offices approaches, those who are about to retire are making other arrangements for their future.
 It is announced that Dr. M F. Dickinson, who retires as state au- ditor, will return to Green county and resume the practice of medicine
 Earle w. Hodges, who will retire as secretary of state, has formed a partnership with w. Hix Mallory in the life insurance business.
 Gov. Hays has not definitely an- nounced his plans, but it is under stood that he will remain in Little Rock and engage in the practice of law.
 George B. Cook, who retires from the office of superintendent of public instruction after six years service will remain in Little Rock, but his plans for the future have not been announced.

Undoubtedly, the big question that will come before the legislature, as it has been coming before every gen eral assembly for years, and will con- tinue to come until it is solved, is that of revenue. There are three courses to be pursued; the tax rate must, be raised, expenditures must be curtailed, or additional sources of revenue must be provided. The az gregate tax rate cannot be raised under the present constitution, al though it might be differently dis tributed. The state is growing rap idly, more demands are being made upon it, and its material welfare prohibits a radical reduction in ex- penditures, although rigid economy is both desirable and an evidence of business acumen. No one doubts but that there is much assessible prop erty that does not appear on the tax books. Some will probably suggest A "tax ferret" for each county, as Oklahoma has, and the whole state awaits the plans that will be submit ted by Governor Brough.

CUT THIS OUT
Old English Recipe for Catarrhal Deaf
ness and Head Noises.

OIo Eh9ISh Recipe TOR CatarrhaI Dear.
ness and Head Noises.
II you know someone who is troubled
with head noises, or Catarrhal Deaf
| ness, cut out this formula, and hand
1t to them, and you will have been the
means Of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. Recent
experiments have proved conclusively
that Catarrhal Deafness, head noises,
ETC., were the direct cause of constitu-
t1onal disease, and that salves, sprays,
inhalers, etc, meerly temporize with
the complaint and seldom, if ever, eff
feet permanent cure. This being SO,
much time and money has been spent
Of late by noted specialist in perfect
ing a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic
that would quickly dispel all traces of
the catarrhal poison from the system.
The effective prescription which was
eventually formulated, and which has
aroused the belief that deafness will
soon be extinct, is given below in I'M
derstandable form, SO that anyone can
treat themselves in their own home
at little expense.
Secure from your druggist OF. Par
mint Double Strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home and add to 1t
u pint of hot water and 4 OF. of granu-
lated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times day.
The first dose should begin to re-
lieve the distressing head noises, head
ache, dullness, cloudy thinking, ETC.,
while the hearing rapidly returns as
the system is invigorated by the tonic
action of the treatment. Loss of smell
and mucus dropping in the back of the
throat, are other symptoms that show
the presence of catarrhal poison, and
which are often entirely overcome by
this efficacious treatment. Nearly
ninety per cent. of all ear troubles are
directly caused by catarrh; therefore
there must be many people whose
hearing can be restored by this simple
home treatment.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness, or ca
tarrh in any form, should give this
prescription rial Glen Thistle
thwaite can supply you.
