LIQUOR MAN IN MORE TROUBLE
Uncle Sam After T. V. Scott For Retailing Liquor Without
 Government License

T. V. Scott of Sulphur Rock was arrested by Deputy U. s. Marshal Malloy and arraigned be- fore U. s. Commissioner Parse at Batesville last Monday, charged with retailing liquor without li- cense, and was bound over to the federal court in the sum of $20O.
 Scott has been operating small distillery near Sulphur Rock, and some time ago he brought 20 gal Ions of whiskey to Newark with the intention of opening a whole sale house. He was immediately arrested and arraigned before Mayor Ration on charge of un- lawfully bringing liquor into pro. hibition territory. The trial result ed in the conviction of Scott, but instead of having the liquor de- stroyed, the court, under pledge from Scott that he would take the whiskey back home and make no further attempts to sel! 1t here, re- leased the whiskey. Scott took charge of the whiskey and left town, but instead of taking it back home, it is alleged that he only took it short distance from town aud retaied 1t out to crowd who followed him out of town. This he had no right to do, and the trouble with Uncle Sam is the re- suit.

 Churchman, it is said, had been drinking, and raised the trouble with Gardner over some trivial family trouble that had existed be- tween them for some time.
 Gardner was taken to a hospital at Little Rock and will recover. Churcbman surrendered to the officers at Newport, and was placed under $1, ,0O0 bond for his appearance before Squire Shaver at Newport today (Friday) for trial.

THE GREAT REVIVAL HAS CLOSED
Al Joined the Methodist Chl1rcfr and l3 the Other Churches
 During the Meeting

The revival meeting which had been in progress at the Methodist church for three weeks, closed Monday afternoon.
 The meeting resulted in the ad- dition of Al members to the Methodist church, six to the Christian church and seven to the Baptist church, making a total of 154 additions to the various churches.
 Revs. Dye and .Jernigan did good work and endeared them selves to all citizens of Newark in manner that will hold for them warm place in the hearts of our people for years to come.
 A great deal of interest was shown in the meeting from stass to finish, and a great many re- gretted that it could not go on longer, but conditions were such that it was thought best to close.
 The farewell service Monday afternoon was very touching in many respects, and yet a very happy one.
 The entire meeting was truly a marvellous one, and the results exceeded the expectations of all. even the beloved pastor, who has worked and planned the whole year for great advancement of the religious interests of the com munity.
 The church is now working to, make Newark station, and there are good reason to believe that 1t will be done, as several of the most prominent and successful men of the town joined the church during the meeting and are now very much interested in the work of the church and the moral and religious advancement of the cona- munity. They are men who never do anything in a half-hearted man. ner, and who will not hesitate to contribute literally of their means to such movement, so we think 1t is safe to say that Newark wilt be made station at the approach ing annual conference.

 Those who have had occasion to be associated with him in the dis charge of his duties as deputy clerk, we'll know his superior fitness for the office to which he will aspire. No man has ever filled the position of deputy clerk better than has Armie Hodges, and the results of this record made for himself, coupled with congenial and ac- comodating disposition, makes the kind of timber necessary for a competent, trustworthy and eff cient officer.
 We are confident he will make strong race and his candidacy will we'll deserve the kindest con- sideration.
