give her UP. SHOE mo. SIX.
OHOE NO. SIX: Since you take the
girl out in your car it seems to me
- as though she did make dates with
you Undoubtedly she doesn't do this
without some hesitancy. since you dc
not show her proper respect when you
kiss her She knows that she is doing
wrong. and you should refrain from
such ungentlemanly action. otherwise
you will lose her friendship and conf

LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN

To the Voters of Lonoke County: The attention of the undersigned who are Commissioners of Improve ment Districts in Lonoke County has been called to a circular issued by MT. H. D. Smiley, candidate for County Judge, wherein he charges Judge B. M. High with allowing Chas. A. Walls exorbitant fees for Legal Services rendered the districts represented by him as attorney.
 Judge High, or any other county judge has never allowed Chas. A. Walls ANY FEE WHATEVER out of the funds belonging to the various Improvement Districts, because the County Judge has absolutely nothing to do with the management of the af- fairs of the districts, or the disburse- fnent of the funds.
 The Commissioners are authorized to hire attorneys and to fix their fees (See General Drainage Law, page 1400 Kirby's and Castles Digest, and Road Laws.)
 We have selected Chas A. Walls to represent our districts because he was qualified to perform the duties of at torney, and we have paid him such fees for services as we deemed rea- sonable, and such as have been paid other attorneys for similar services rendered. Judge High had nothing whatever to do with the selection of MT. Walls as attorney for any of said districts, or fixing the fee paid him. The fees paid are matters of public record, and have been since the vari- <J jet cfc foh of the fees were paid MT. Walls SEV- EN years ago.
 When Mr. Smiley makes the charge that Judge High allows MT. Walls fees for Improvement Districts he is either ignorant of the law governing such matters, or makes it with the view of misleading the voters. At the same time he casts a reflection upon the busienss ability and honesty of the Commissioners who have fixed the fees. Signed,
