EDITOR REPoRTxR:-As we are in
the right mood, and few items of in
terest having occurred in and near our
vicinity. win communicate short ar
ticle. The law suit OF the Methodist
Episcopal church VS. the Christian. at
Piney Grove church house was confess
ted on the 22d of April
The suit was brought by the metho-
dist against Samuel Adams and Terrell
Butler for tresspass. The tresspass
consisting in Adams and Butler I'M
locking the church door and holding
service in the church house. There
was long train of evidence and each
side represented by able counsel B.
A. P. Selman spoke for the methodist.
and MIR. Pyle, of Iuka for the breth-
rem Of water. 1t was difficult in our
mind to determine which of the two
lawyers made the ablest speech. MIR.
Fyle we concluded after heating him,
had answered all that Selman had to
say in his opening address and had
also went him one or two points better.
But we found that Selmsn in his re-
+, joindsr had reserved his heavy artil-
lery for the home stretch. and he
raked the Campbelite's fore and aft,
poured broadside after broadside into
their TANKS. Selnan produced let
| ter Butler had written to the metho-
| dist, chuck full to the brim of bragga-
docio and threats. Butler-charac-
teristically, always writes a letter in
his law suits and thunders heavy in
the breach, but when it comes to the
regular hair pulling he is never there
unless brought in by Balitf as on
this occasion. This Butler letter ap-
pearantly gave new zest and energy to
Selman. He wooded and chawed on
Butler for one hour. then skinned him,
and then took to skinning off the under
cuticle. A butcher never skinned a
beef SO thoroughly, at this stage of the
proceedings Butler could stand it no
longer, he had borne it to the last
stage of human endurance. When it
came to skinning Butler was there, but
when it came to showering down aqua
FORTS on the raw. and then seemed
disposed to rub. it in. Butler fed. Abii,
erupi, evasi.
The court found for the plaintiff s.
imposing fine of one dollar each on
the defendants and cost The church
property at Piney Grove is in dispute.
and this suit did not settle that point.
The court claimed that as the metho-
dist were in possession the defendants
were guilty of tresspass in forcibly
taking possession Of the house. So
the matter remains in statu-quo, and
we will watch out for the next meve
and report the cat and monkey show
to the REPORTER when it comes off.

ST LOUIS, March l3.--Jas. H Brit
ton, formerly mayor of this city, and
one time president Of the State Bank
Of missouri, now a citizen of New York,
was arrested here today by the
United States marshal, charged with
being an accessory to an enlightenment
by his son, Alfred NJ. BritIOn, presi-
dent of the First National bank of
Vernon, Texas.
The arrest Is based on transaction
tetween father and son. The former
gave the latter his note for S2,4l2,40.
This the son cashed through his bank
the First National of Vernon, Texas.
The charge made 10y the United
States authorities Is that the son
knew the elder Bitten to be insOlvent
when the note was given, and in con-
sequence embeZZlement proceedings
were brought with the result stated.
The arrest of James II. BrittOn was
made under an Indictment for the
crime with which he is charged, found
by the grand jury at Dollas. An
other Indictment of the same nature
was returned at the same time and
placed against his son, Alfred NJ.
Britton, president of the First Nation
al tank of Vernon, Tex. The son
was arrested some days ago and is
now out on bond awaiting his trial.
The note in question WAS given Jan.

dent oithe Bank of The State of Mis-

uent being Henry OuerstOIz. Britton
won, according to the face of the re-
turns, and was indicted into office,

bank going into the hands of a receiver

NEW ORLEANS, March 13.-McE lroy
81 Co. say:
Futures-We have had a natural re-
action today from the pronounced de-
cline of Thursday. AT The closing we
find Liverpool 3 CAD higher and our
market II points above yesterday,
while there was more business done in
spots in Liverpool, sales aggregatinG
$4,000 bales; prices were no higher and
cables state that market was freely
met by sellers.
Here the sales aggregated 1000 bales
at unchanged but firm prices. Port
receipts footed up 1900 against IL, 900
last year, and there is no indication
here tomorrow against 24O0 last year.
The improvement in Liverpool, in.
dependent of the natural reaction
which was expected after the late de-
cline, was largely attributed to active
buying for Russian account. The
Russian government, it is reported,
has issued an ukase restricting the
growth of cotton in certain districts of
Asiatic. Russia, which have lately
been afflicted with famine, and com.
handing the production of food grains
instead, so as to prevent the recurrence
of the distress lately prevailing. This
course must naturally tend to increase
the imports of foreign, and especially
American, cotton in Russia and
further buying GU the part of Russian
spinners is encouraged by the belief
that the new Russio-German com.
merciaI treaty will not reduce the
present duty on German cotton goods
which had been generally feared.
The squirt of today is not considered
permanent for the reason that no new
buying is apparent and without a new
element in the market further advance
would be impossible to maintain.

CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March 13.-The wheat
market was choppy today within a
l.2c range and closed lac higher for
May. A steady feeling early caused
by last nights cash business at the
seaboard, was followed by break in
the Baltic shipments. A rally on the
clearances was followed by another
break and a little ceiling and May
closed at the top on fair demand.
Corn was generally firm and at
times quite strong. Commission
houses were we'll supplied with orders
to buy fair seed parcels. Liverpool
was quoted firm, but inactive. Bush
ness was rather spasmodic but good

The offerings were still very light and
that with decline of $4,000 bushels
in the stocks of contract oats in store
were the cause of the retained
strength. The market opened steady
at 81 1Sc and sold up to 81 Is to 81 IL.
The market weakened slightly before
the close and May was offered at
81 8 Sc, after selling at that price.
July sold at 20 to 20 1.4c, closing at
the top price.
Hog receipts were 1000 over the es-
Inmates; 10000 are looked for tomor-

The provision market opened weak
and with very little demand, and that
was the feature of the trade through.

down on fresh low ground, some stop
