Musical Concert.

A crowded house enjoyed the concert given under the direc- tion of Mrs. Edyth Johnson at the opera house, Monday even- ing, and the excellent music ren- dered by the pupils speaks vol umes for Mrs. Johnson as a teacher and music director.
 The second part of the pro- gram was composed of home and foreign talent, and each number was received by the audience with cheers of appreciation.
 The violin solos by Mrs. Sam Deener, of Batesville, were es- pecially beautiful and proved the performer to be musician of unusual talent.

MT. R. D. Horn, of Tuckerman, Ark, to MT. Foster Boyce Dow ell, the popular cashier of the Bank of Swifton, on Thursday evening, November 30, 1905, at the Methodist Episcopal church, South, in Tuckerman, Rev. J. T. Self officiating.
 Simple but effective decora- tions of greens filled the chancel. There was no elaborate musical program, but Mendelssohn's we'd ding march was rendered by Miss Carrie Lindley as the bridal party entered the church.
 The ushers, Dr. Kenneth Kim berlin and MT. Dan Hogan, came first, followed by Miss Ada Lind ley, maid of honor, and MT. D. c. Dowell, jr., best man and brother of the groom. Immedi- ately preceding the bridal couple came the flower girls, little Miss Ida Dowell, sister of the groom, and her little friend, Miss Ruth Yelverton, both frocked in white, bearing baskets of white chrys- anthemums and ferns.
 The bride was gowned in white silk with an elegant point lace bertha, the gift of her mother, and carried a shower bouquet of brides roses and ferns.
 The maid of honor, Miss Ada Lindley, was gowned in pale blue china silk decorated with creamy billowy lace and ruff1es of silk, and carried shower bouquet of American Beauty roses and ferns.
 Following the church service there was an elegant reception at the hospitable residence of Mir. and Mrs. D. c. Dowell, par ents of the groom, where were gathered many friends and rela- tives to wish the young couple a bon voyage through life.
 The parlors were elaborately decorated with cut flowers and potted plants. And the dining room, where most delicious re- treatments were served, was decorated in pink and white with many trailing greens. The pres ents were numerous and beauti- full.
 The young couple left on the train that evening, amid show CTS of rice and a chorus of best wishes from their many friends, for Swifton, their future home.

HAWKINS VERSUS THOMAS.
Warring Ministers May Be Transferred to Other Conferences For Good
 Of the CkMrCh.

Camden, Dec. Al have mo- thing to say; it is thing of the rpast and is buried. "
 This sentence is the result of a second attempt to get from the Rev. James Thomas something in reply to the charge that he is an imposter. At a sermon Sun day night, the minister spoke of past life and character and said that when a man had repented his past should not be brought up against him. This was his sole reference to the mystery in which he is the central figure.
 The trial of the Rev. James Hawkins proceeded behind closed doors this morning. Messengers brought telegrams from all parts of the country and the general interest in the mystery was shown to be great. The Haw- kins people claim that the com mittee will acquit him of the charges made. They say that If acquittal is not the verdict, an appeal will be taken to the gen. eral conference. MT. Hawkins himself said:
 ''I most assuredly can estab- fish the charges that have made if the bishops and other good men concerned in this matter only live long enough to testify. Iclaimed I nothing but what can prove, but l do not care to dis cuss the case until the trial is over."
 Outside opinions indicate that the bishop may transfer all of the warning brethren to other states and scatter the ministers who have been engaged in this long time fight. There has been a shift in sentiment toward re- quiring that the mystery in the Thomas case shall be cleared up and settled forever.
 It is stated here that unless MT. Thomas clears up the mys- tery that surrounds him, his right to seat in the general confer ence will be challenged. There is also a rumor that the charac- ters of two of the delegates will be arraigned as result of the present trial and that sensational proceedings will result. This determination to make charges from the Hawkins side of the controversy is said to have come from conference of friends of MT. Hawkins, but no definite statement has been made con- corning the fact.
 No decision has been reached in the case up to noon, and 1t IS considered probable that the con- ference will not close today, as it's closing hangs upon the deci- sion of this case.
 In the testimony that was given by Bishop Hoss, the bishop said that he had asked Dr. Godbey why the charges against Dr. w. E. Thompson had been made three years ago if there existed no proof behind them, and the bishop testifies that the minister replied that they were merely made "as a line of defense for Thomas. This sensational dis closure as to the noted fight then made on the Memphis minister was something of a shock to those who had fought him.
 Everybody is watching the committee room for the report of the committee and specula- tion is rife as to the outcome of the trial. It is regarded as the opening of red-hot fight, if it fails to clear up the great church mystery.

he got there he found the town too small
for him 10 do any business. he said so
he continued on TO Great Darlington.
When his brother went on 10 Lee and
failed 10 find him there he reported
Walters disappearance" 10 the Lee po-
lice and this led 10 the report being sent
out regarding his unexplained absence.
