fair will be held at Surridge high
school building some time in April.
The exact date will be given later.

same as in previous years. The discus
throw, 440 yard dash, 40 yard relay
and 22O yard low hurdles will be adj
ded.
There will also be contests in first
and second year algebra, physics, home

ANY school i'm Randolph county or in
an adjoining county is eligible to on
ter this contest. Any number of one
teacher schools, not to exceed six, any
number of two teacher schools not to
exceed three, any combination Of one
teacher and two teacher or three teach
er schools not to exceed six teachers,

tion: Elm Store, Dalton, Bakerdcn,
Oconee, Midway and Concord may en-
ter as one school.
The people of Surridge consolidated
school are just finishing their school
building. 1t should be an inspiration
to anyone to see what these people are
doing for the children of this district.
There ought to be at least two thou
sand people at this fair, because:
1t gives the children chance for
friendly competition;
1t gives the teachers chance to
tell the school directors and other in
terested patrons what they are doing
1t gives every one a chance to learn
and to profit from the other fellows
work. A worthwhile teacher always
knows how to bring his school into
these contests. Respectfully,

DOUGLASS HAS
SERVED FOR AZ YEARS

Justice J. A. Douglass of Pocahoutas
has Just entered upon his 4Sth year
as justice of the peace.
lie was first elected to that Office
in Elevenpoint township in 1876. He
served in that capacity until 1897 when
he came to Pocahontas. Here he be-
came mayor of the town in 1897 ana
served until 1898 when he was elected
justice of the peace in Demun town
shin. He has since held that office
continuously.
A fact of especial significance in this
connection is that Mr.. Douglass has
each election lied the ticket in this
township. Demun is allowed two jus
tices and. no matter how many can
didates were out for the Office he al
ways received the greater number Of
votes-even those who were elected
with him have never been able to
break that record.
Born in Copiah County Miss
Squire" Douglass came to this state
in 1870. He will he Sc years Of age
on the 10th day of February this year.
Mr. Douglass has been married five
times and has fathered seven children.
He was married to his present wife,
who was Mrs. Hannah Kilcrease, in
1901.
He saw almost continuous service
for 1-2 years during the Civil War
with the 10th Texas Volunteer Inf.
Co. D., 2nd Brig, Walters Division.
He came near losing his life only
once. that being when bullet from
Yankee rifle shaved a path across the
, top of his head
Notwithstanding his advanced age,
the Squire is hale and hearty and
gets about his business with the ease
and agility of a much younger man.
He claims the distinction of having
been the first man to pay taxes in Ran
dolph county each year during the
past six years.
During his service as justice of the
peace Mr.. Douglass has married more
than 1000 couples. He does not know
the exact number and probably never
will as an expert auditor could ret
trace the records for the past 80 years
with any accuracy without spending
several days ON the job.
The number of trials he has heard
is much more than the number of mar
riage ceremonies he has performed.
He has heard cases ranging from petty
thlevery to cold bloOded murder aud
his decisions are reputed to be fair
and without bias.

tian churches of Pocahontas have
adopted resolution requesting nur
legislators to use all influence possible

resolution follows:
POcahOntas, Arkansas.
January 2nd, 1927.
10 Hon. Roy Richardson, Senator,
and
The Hon. f. Dalton, Representative
Whereas. we believe that horse rae
ing tends to lower the moral standards
II our people and is always the occn-
sion for much betting and gambling
Whereas, we believe that professions
al base ball as played on Sunday is
,ust as much of a desecratiOn of the
abbath as the conduct of place OF
lerchandising or any other sort OF
lslness enterprise and tends to lessen
lr reverence for things more sacred
whereas. we understand that bills
ll'be introduced in the next General
sembly to permit each Of the above
med amusements We, the under
ned. respectfully request our Semi
Hon. Roy Richardson, and on
nresentative, Hon. Il. Dalton, to use
