the old town has got move on her

Our title city is already an up-to-

Arkansas is a great state, and we

Infanticide.

On Saturday afternoon the coroner S
jury empanelled to investigate the
murder Of an unknown white infant
found dead with fractured skull and a
string around its neck in one of the
cemeteries Wednesday, returned YER
dict that it came to it's death at the
hands of parties to the jury unknown.
The child was discovered Wednes-
day morning by the presence of buz-
yards, which had devoured most of its
flesh before the remains were eXamin-
ed by the jury. The jury was com
posed of Messrs. S. +. Magee, George
McClendon, Chas. Penn, w. G. Mason,
E. S. Sandifer, and Geo. Love. Mr..
Penn informed The LEADER that a
part of the skin and flesh on one of
the legs and arms was unbroken, by
which the jury could see that the
child was white. Mr.. Penn further
stated that he and other members of
the jury were convinced that the child
was killed and placed in the graveyard
on Tuesday night as the corpse was
fresh and no bad smell could be de
tected when it was found. 1t had been
thrown under a clump of thick bushes
and no pretense of burial made by
the murderer or murderers.
This is the second murdered infant
found in the cemetery within the last
3 months, the other being a mulatto
child which was buried clandestinely
in the white peoples graveyard at
night and discovered by Sexton

PLAYED between the Sophomore and
Senior teams and the Freshman and

Senior team, with Miss Elizabeth Ad-

very exciting aud close game was
played; both teams at the limit of the
! first half had scored two points each;
both teams were on their mettle in the
second half; the playing was fast and
| the scoring slow. The animation, ac-
curacy, strength and endurance dis

though excellent playing Was done on
both sides the final score was four

Fair River Association.

The Fair River Association met in
its 30th annual session with Union
Church on last Friday, the 18th inst.
In the absence of Moderator, D. NJ.
Lee, who was detained at home by the
death of his mother, Rev. r. j. Boone
was elected moderator pro TEN.
When permanent organization was eff

Geo. w. Douglass clerk, and A. j.

GERS being re elected. Bro. Martin
has faithfully served the association as
treasurer for more than twenty years.
The Introductory sermon was
preachd by Rev. II. j. Boone before a
large and interested congregation,
composed mostly of brethren. This
was pleasant scene to people from
town, where men generally seem in
different to religious gatherings; and
here we will state that the personnel of
the association is made up of stalwart,
Intelligent ana conSecrated men who
are credit to any community. There
were twenty-three churches represent
ed. The Lawrence county churches,
in number, for convenience and the
good of the cause, asked and were
given letters of dismission from the
Fair River brethren to form, at an
early date, new association COM
posed entirely of Lawrence county Bap-
fist churches. The organization re,
luctantly relinquished its claim upon
these churches, after remarks of ex-
PLANTATION and regret at leaving, by
Brethren E. o. Cowart and w. G.
Maxwell, who spoke feelingly of their
attachment for the old association Of
