THE PASTORS COLUMN Conducted by Rev. Jas. F. Jernigan in
 the Interest All That is Good
REMINISCENCE

The experience of the modern itenerant preacher are not what they were of the old time men who were the pioneers of this and other countries. Still, some of them are enlivened with the con- ditions they have met here, there and wonder. Away back in the '30's Rev. Andrew Hunter, who was missionary in this state, once encountered a difficult pro- position at what is now known as the Point Ferry" just above Jacksonport. He was following a trail through this country going south and coming to the river, there was no boat, nor bridge, so what could he do? He took from his saddle bags a long knife he took along for battle in case a wild animal should attack him, cut some supple jack vines, found some pieces of logs, bound them together and made him a raft. He put his saddle, robe and other be. longings on the raft, and coaXed his horse in after him, and foated down not knowing just where he would land. But White river runn- ing into Black and running swift CT, 1t drifted him to the south bank, where Jacksonport was afterward founded. He slept in a cane brake that night, so he says, just about where the church was afterward built. He was a grand old man.
 Passing from those crude days to the '70's your scribe had few things to pass his way. There is what is called the Arkansas bed stead.0 We'll, your contributor has slept on this ideal @ bedstead. It had but one post and two rails. The post sat out from the wall and the rails were put in auger holes bored in the walls and the slats were boards rested on the rails at one end and the other end were in the crack of the house where the chinking had been punched out. But the times have changed and better equipments are now all over our land and country, and the preacher of today, tho he has much to do, tolls in fowery beds 1 of ease compared with some of the

JOHN W. HENDERSON NOT GUILTY
Man Charged With Killing Col. J. (. Yancey Acquitted by
 Jury in Circuit Court

The jury in the case of John w. Henderson on trial for murder in the second degree, in the circuit at Batesville. reached an agree ment early Saturday morning and returned a verdict of acquittal. Henderson, a peaceable citizen of Oil Trough, during last December had an altercation concerning some corn with Col. J. c. Yancy, a prominent lawyer and stock raiser of the county, and in the quarrel drew his revolver and fired two shot at Col. Yancey, one of which IS alleged to have taken effect in the heel. The wound was only slight one, but blood poison set in, and after lingering several weeks, Col. Yancey died from the effects of the wound.
 The case excited considera ble interest and was the most impor- tant case tried at this term of court. The defense was represent ed by Attorneys Oldfeld & Cole of Batesville and Gus Jones of Newport and for the state were MT. Jeffery, the prosecuting at torney, Sam M. Casey of Bates vile and Coi. Murphy of Little Rock.
 Col. Murphy delivered the clos ing argument for the state late Friday evening, and the jury re tired for deliberation after supper. About S.30 o'clock the judge and attorneys were summoned and the jury was brought into court and asked for the shoe worn by Mr. 1ancey at the time he was shot, and for a list of the witnesses who had testified in the case. This re- quest was refused, Judge Fulker- son declaring it was contrary to law: and the jury returned to their deliberations. At 10:30 they were taken to the hotel for the night, being instructed to suspend their deliberations until they should re- turn to the court house Saturday morning. At 7:30 o'clock Satur- day, moning they again took up the case, and when court convened at S:30, were ready with a verdict. Being brought into court, they de- -clared the defendant, Henderson, not guilty.
 On the first ballot the jury stood nine for acquittal, one for convic tion and two undecided, and it was not until the eighth ballot that the jury stood unanimous for acquit- tai.
 Public sentiment was largely in Mir. Henderson's favor, from the fact that he has always been good, peaceable and law-abiding citizen, and everybody seemed to be well pleased with the jury's verdict.
 An unusual incident occurred in connection with the case after Monta, the 9 year old daughter of MT. Henderson, left the witness stand. She was a witness in the case for her father and is said to have made one of the brightest witnesses placed on the stand. The cross examination of witnesses was conducted by ex-Attorney General Geo. w. Murphy for the prosecution. General Murphy has the reputation of being one of the shrewdest criminal lawyers in the Southwest, and 1t is often trying ordeal, even for men who are ex- perienced in such matters, to go through the rigid cross examina- tion of a shrewd criminal lawyer.
