ANNOUNCES HIS
CANDIDACY FOR
CHANCERY JUDGE
The Independent takes pleasure
this week in announcing Hon. Lyman
F. Reeder of Batesville as a candidate
for the office of chancellor, from this, J
the Eighth District, to succeed Judge
George Humphries, who has held the
position for a number of years.
Mr. Reeder is forty years of age
md has been practicing in the state
ind federal courts for eighteen years
ind in the supreme court of Arkansas
since 1902. During the past eleven
fears he has been associated with
Judge Jno. B. McCaleb at Batesville
n the practice of law, which firm is
recognized throughout the state as
>ne of strength and ability. Mr.
Reeder is not a stranger to a great
nany people in Jackson county, hav
ng practiced frequently in local
rourts.
Mr. Reeder presents an example of
she man who has risen in the world
shrough his own# efforts and re
sources, and his ascent has been stea
ly and noticeable. Since boyhood the
sditor of this paper has known Mr.
Reeder, and some of the kindliest ad
dee and encouragement has come
Iro'm him, and we, together with ev

ijj
cry other person who has had the
good fortune to come in contact with
him, can give Mr. Reeder more than
ordinary endorsement.
Mr. Reeder is an authority on law,
being one of the most diligent and
searching students of the statutes
this section has produced. More than
once he has been the subject of fav
orable comment from supreme court
judges who have been presented with
cases prepared by Mr. Reeder in
brief form. He is lacking in no qual
ification to fit him for the post of
chancellor, and while he is not a pol
itician in the generally accepted term,
he will make a strong campaign and
endeavor to meet every voter in Jack
son county before time for the pri
mary election arrives. Mr. Reeder
has never before asked for any office,
but has filled many positions of
trust placed in his hands by fellow
men who recognized his executive
and business ability and stability of
character.
The Independent earnestly com
mends Mr. Reeder’s candidacy to the
voters of Jackson county, with the
hope that it will be carefully and
favorably considered.

Associated Press Dispatch.
Paris, Feb. 13.—A Havre dispatch
from Rome says that according to
statements of prisoners the Austro
German invaders of North Italy are
daily resorting to' increasing acts of
vandalism of pillage and brutality.
Officers as well as soldiers are par
ticipating. Undine was pillaged, and
stores were destroyed by intoxicated
troops. Various groups of soldiers
are fighting among themselves. It
is declared that women and children
were stripped of tehir clothing, which
was sent to Germany. * ,
Judge L. D. Smith of Tuckerman,
representative from this county, was
in the city this morning and made
this office an appreciated visit. Judge
Smith is one of the many representa
tives who believe Governor Brough
should call a special session of the
legislature for the enactment of a
new prohibition law to take the place
of the recently shattered bone-dry
statute. The judge says he has not
decided whether he will offer for re
election, but will decide the matter
within the next two weeks.
Miss Leone Umsted returned last
evening from a three days’ stay with
Little Rock friends. Miss Lochie
Graham, who accompanied her, went
on to Malvern for a further visit be
fore returning home.
