JOHNSON RESTS IN JAIL.

Upon the conclusion of the testi- mony in the preliminary hearing of Rufus Johnson, Judge F. D. Fulker- son presiding, the court declared any argument upon the part of the attor- neys useless, as the evidence was of too overwhelming character, show ing the act of Rufus Johnson in shoot ing James Cole to have been pre- meditated, to allow bail.
 He thereupon instructed the sheriff to commit the defendant to the coun- ty jail to await the action of the grand jury of the July term of court. The jail is not very comfortable quar- ters but a new cot and bed linen were purchased for Johnson, who seems to be taking the situation in a philoso- phical way and making the best of it.

REVIVAL AT THE
 CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

The revival at the Christian church continues, and one of the largest au- diences heard Mir. Cline last night on the "Meaning of Baptism" He af- firms that 34 Greek lexicons, 21 en- cyclopedi@s, 27 church histories, 63 of the ablest divines and IS of the Apostolic fathers all define BAPTIzo to immerse, or in other words they agree in saying the ancient mode of baptizing was by immersion. Fur thermore he declares that no scholar of any church will dare to translate the word to pour or spri~ 4e. If MT. Cline is correct in t-Is contention his claim for immersion only as the ac- tion in baptism would seem to be un- answerable. If he be correct in this matter, it would be in the interest of truth to have it pointed out.

MRS. CROOKS RECITAL.

The recital at the home of Mrs. C.. E. Crook on Main Street Friday even ing, to which limited number of in- vitations had been sent to the friends and families of those taking part, proved a most enjoyable affair to the coterie of music lovers gathered there.
 Mrs. Crook, who is both vocal and instrumental instructress of high order of ability, has every reason to feel proud of the accomplishments of her pupils, who performed with much grace and ease, demonstrating i'll many ways the results of the efforts of their teacher.
 Mr. and Mrs. Crook were assisted in receiving by Misses Lucille Randy and Ray Brandenburg and the warmth of the evening was relieved by cooling draughts from the punch bowl in the hall.
 The program given below, was hap oily selected and met with hearty encores from those present.

DAVIS PARDONS BRADY.
Proprietor of JonesbCro Blind Tiger Relieved of Six Thousand Dollars Tn Fines. No Siberian Mines For Arkansas, Says Gov
 ernor Davis.

Governor Davis Friday granted a full pardon to R. c. Brady, who is serving on the county farm in Cross county for the illegal sale of whiskey in Craighead county several years ago. The case is an old one, Brady having been convicted on about twenty five cases and fined $200 and costs in each, an aggregate of over $6, 900 fines and costs, which he had to serve out on the county farm, as he had no money. Gov. Jones granted him conditional pardon over two years ago, but he violated the con- dition and was reincarcerated and sent to the county farm. At 75 cents per day it would just take twenty two years to serve out $6,000 fine and costs. In granting the pardon Gov. Davis endorsed it as follows:
 'sThis man having been confined on the county farm for nearly two years for the illicit sale of whiskey and knowing that if the full penalty of the law should be meted out to him, that is, if he shall be compelled to work on the county farm at 75 cents per day to discharge fully the fines and costs assessed against him, it would mean to him life imprisonment, and not being willing to establish the mines of Siberia in Arkansas, this pardon is hereby granted"
 The petitions had about 900 sigma lures and a notice was posted at the court house of Craighead county on April 26, that application would be made May 12, by Lamp & Gautney, Brady's attorneys, for pardon. The petition was as follows:
 "We the undersigned, your petition CTS, respectfully state that we are residents and citizens of Craighead county, Arkansas, and surther that MT. R. o. Brady, one of our citizens, is now serving sentence on the county farm in Cross county for hav- ing violated the liquor law. If said Brady should be required to remain on the farm until he had completed the term of years necessary to dis charge said judgments he would have to live to an age far beyond that usually allotted to man. We feel that he has been sufficiently punished and that he would try to avoid again being entangled with charges before the criminal courts. We earnestly and truly petition your excellency to extend said Brady full and com plete pardon, and to that end we sim cerely believe large majority of the citizenship of this county will join us in this request"

 The party visited the gallery of A. H. Mize, where the triplets, gowned in snowy linen, made a very pretty picture for the artists skill.

appreciatlve review of the recent history

follows:
This massive volume of closely printed
pages has been compiled during the leis
ure hours that occasionally come amid
labors and cares OF farm te and its
course OF construction has been laid over
many palnstaking years. 1t has 46 chap.
tiers, covering Ala pages, and genealoei-
cal records that fill up 329 more, while
the four indexes OF Historical Events.
Places, Persons and Gent aogies, occupy
the balance of SO pagts. Newbury occu
pies the mort heasterly corner of Orange
County, Vermont, and adjoins Haverhill
IN New Hampshire. 1t is not the scene OF
any stirring events, nor do its confines
contain any place of particular interest.
1t is the farming distr CT whose citizens
have lived Industrious lives and then
sunk into oblivion; yet from these very
persons many descendants have come
who are and will be interested in the
annals of the home land of their tore
fathers, and to such the book is
addressed. Its sprightly style, its vast
store of genealogical investigation, it's
sp eudid illustrations, its Typography
and clean press work, all OF these coupled
with the immense amount OF MARTIAL
compiled, make the volume most credita
