Has Fine Studio

Geo. f. Lemmons and Son have one
of the most completely equipped photo
graphic studios we have ever seen in
Arkansas.
Besides neat and commodiOus quar-
ters they have equipment that greatly
facilitates their work and enables them
to turn out better products in less time.
One of the principal features in their
new home is lighting apparatus simi-
lar to that used in moving picture
studios This apparatus consists of
six 400 watt electric bulbs so arranged
as to give an equal distribution of
light, like the MONDAY sun. With this
they can do Photographic work at any
hour of the day or night.
They invite an inspection of their
studio.

w. l.. Pope

The people of this section of the
state are particularly interested in the
candidacy of W. l.. Pope of PocahOn
tas for associate justice of the su'
preme court. This gentleman was born
and reared on farm over in the moth
er and neighboring county of Law
renee, and is now thirty-seven years
of age. He has pFacticed law very
successfully for the past fourteen
years, and has served as judge of the
courts in the Sixteenth judicial cir
cult, having been appointed to that
distinguished position to fiji out the
unexpired term Of Judge j. Il. Baker,
who died while I'm office. In this capa-
city Judge Pope conducted the bust
ness Of the courts upon high plane
and gave eminent satisfaction. accord
ing to the verdict Of attorneys and tax
payers. He now has an endorsement
from public officials In the counties
composing the Sixteenth judicial cir
cult that shows the high esteem in
which he is held by those who were
associated with him I'm the discharge

not prevent him from making a record
that would do credit to any official
who has ever occupied the bench in
this circuit.
Judge Pope Is recognized as man
who is well versed in the law, and as
a very conscientious citizen. who IL
strictly honest in his judgments and
who can be relied upon TO do the thing
he conceives TO be right without fear
or favor The very fact that ne is
yet Young man is valuable asset
to his candidacy for associate justice
of the highest court Of the state, be
cause if he is successful in winning a
place i'm that body he will certainly
lend youth and energy and ability 10
the bench and prove equal to the tasks
Of the Office, both in physical and men
tai strength.
Judge Pope is making quite an ex-
tensive campaign for the Office of asso-
ciate justice, and reports from different
sections Of the state say he has more
than good chance to win the race.
The Herald is for Judge Pope for that
Office not merely because he is a neigh
Dor, a good fellow and our friend but
because we know he would fiji the plac
very creditably and hOnorably and be
a credit both to the supreme bench and
the people Of the state.-Hardy Herald.

We are living in an age of action
and performance. There is demand
more than a command. The idea OF
irving to make out or hold until you
can get some one who has played out.
The actor "do" has presented itself in
every field and has cast sister cant
or will try aside. Your answer must
be 81 cam when asked just question
along your line of work.
1t is an expence to concern to have
men around them who have proposed
as this when they are that.
When A goes out on firm and is
asked what can you do, sometimes
tie head is dropped in humiliation and
shame, and by chance one will hold
up his head and say Il can do this or
that in manly manner.
1t is fact that every man can not
be a farmer, teacher or doctor, but
every man should fit himself with
something to earn LIVELIHOOD.
Every man has duty to perform,
whether great or small under God $
heaven. 1t may not be what he de-
sires, but it's given him thru here
dity.
When tie rack drops low do not
say you are cursed, but say its inherl-
lance.
AS has been stated there is a de-
mand for men. M en- of skill Thous-
ands of people have been turned away
because they were not skill laborers
Their familys had to suffer or move
back to some convenient place where
they could seek shelter and food
Lei every n.an try to do some INNS
