When lifes tender thread was clipp- ed and the brave spirit of C. C. Hamby winged it's way to the great beyond, It marked the removal from the midst of the legal profession. one of the bright est minds that ever challenged the ad- miration of Judge or Jury in Southern Arkansas. He was true to his clients flea rless in the presentation of his cause, and brilliant in his masterful plea
 As criminal lawyer, his record en- titles him to be remembered as one of the foremost in the state.
 During his busy career. Colonel Ham by's cousel was sought by the high and the low: His splendid ability was ap- preciated by those of lofty political sta tion; the late Senator James r Clarke was his close personal friend; it was a friendship born in the hearts of two men who recognized the greatness of each other And so il was with the late Senator Jeff Davis and the elo- quent Governor Trough both of whom looked to Colonel Hamby for advice on matters of governmental admniStra= tion.
 But the day of this able councillor has past and gone somewhere in yon- der unknown realm-high up above the 'ehghtnings flash and thunders roar :" there sits God of Justice who forms and fashions your destiny and mine. ' around whose golden throne and into whose beautiful presence, the soul of our departed friend we feel has found permanent peace.

Reduction in Price OF
XeSta Batteries

Vceta battery prices have been re-
duced materially, says W. A. Wright,
manager Of the local Vesta Service
Station.
While it is true that the percent
age of reduction is less than that adj
vcrtiscd by other companies, says MI
Wright, the fact that the new net
prices are no higher than on other
makes clearly proves that Vesta prc-
cs were not previously inflated.
The manufacture of batteries is
time process, requiring the purchase
of material months in advance of
the date they are turned out as fin
iYhcd products. The reduction in
prices, therefore, represents sac
riiice on the part of the whole NcSta
organization for it eomprehcnds the
manufacture Of batteries at the pres
cnt low cost of material, despite the
fact that the material entering into
the manufacture of these batteries
was purchased many months ago at
much higher prices.
