HiIIiard's S New Car.

s. D. Hilliard, the gentleman who di-
rects the affairs of the auditors Office
under H. B. Curtis, has purchased fine
$1,000 touring car, and is getting ac-
quanted with it this week.
1t is beauty of the two-cylinder type
20 horse power, and Skins over the
ground like bird.
Mr. Hilliard is much pleased with his
purchase, and Justly so, as are also all
the people know him. This is the more
marked because Mr.. Hilliard met with
a misfortune in 1898 that caused him to
lose the use of his lower limbs, and for
two years he was unable to stand on
them. Then he improved very slowly,
and can only walk now with the use of
crutches.
For the past ten years he has been a
diligent worker in the auditors office
here, and it is doubtful if any other man
has applied himself so diligently as
Mr.. Hilliard
There is an old saying that most peo-
pie can have what they want in this
world if they will but work persistently
for the desired end, and the long years
that Mr.. Hilliard has been going on
crutches he has wished for an easier
means of travel and some means of rec
reation. These circumstances furnish
reason for all his acquaintance to feel
proud of the car, and proud of the man
who faced his misfortune bravely and
worked out the problem.
The sight of this car should be a re-
minder to the rest of us, that we'll direc-
ted effort may make US master of con-
ditions that present only gloomy out
look.
Decks car is beauty, and we hope
she may never miss her spark.

Some BIunders.

We want to express our regrets that
bad typographical error occurred last
week in the church notices. In the line
that invited the public TO attend the
services, the syllable "ser" was dropped,
and it read "vices, instead of services. y
1t passed our proof reader without be-
ing noticed, until the'papers were print
ed and mailed
A similar thing ncelhappened in the
office of The Mackay Telegraph, which
we discovered before the papers were
mailed, that was intended to read:
"There was good attendance at the
Methodist Church Sunday evening, and
Rev. Haley acquitted himself well.
When the forms were carried to the big
press, five letters fell out undiscovered,
and it read, "There was good dance
at the Methodist Church Sunday even.
ing and Rev. Haley aquitted himself
we'll" Nobody outside of the office ever
saw copy of that, for we printed it
over, knowing that omiting five letters
in the right place might furnish grounds
for somebody kicking an editor down
the back stairs.
Once there was an editor, SO the story
goes, who made up his mind to run a
paper that would be free from mistakes
and he never got today's paper printed
until the day after tomorrow.
A fellow on Lost River told us last
week that newspaper reports are un-
reliable, and on this account he had
made up his mind to read only religious
books. When we looked around his
farm and saw how he was doing things
we made up our editorial mind to go on
making mistakes, but at all hazard to
stay in the race.

tlonal and conscious up to the time of her death: had no interest in the home in any way
 Miss Bettie keeler, one of the beneficiaries under the will, stated that her sister requested her on the day of her death to have Mir. Aus tin come out home, that she wish ed to talk with him about business matters. Miss Keeler endeavOred to get Mr. Austin by telephone, but was unable. She then came to Mr. Austin's office, told him what she wished and went back home: that Mrs. Leflar had not intimated to hel. that she wished to sign a will and. in fact, she had no idea of what was Mrs. LeAar's real purpose on dcsir- ing to see Mr. Austin She knew Mrs. LeHar to be conscious and in perfect mentality up to the time Of and preceding her death. Had ia yored the Lafars financially on sev- eral occasions.
 The testimony of all the family showed that at the reading of the will Guy Leflar had made no ob iecton in any way and had gon. so far as to express his approval by asking M A Austin to take the same and have it probated, which Mr. Austin did. They were unaware of any. dissatisfaction on the part of Mr. Lef1ar until the time of the fil- ing of the suit.
 After being in the jury room about thirty minutes the jurors re- turned a verdict in favor of Miss Keeler. The will of Mrs. Lef1ar will stand as written and will be pro- bated according to law.

CONVECTION FATE WITH THE JURORS Submitted Friday Night and After Saturday in Jul ry Rc o1n, No Verdict. Will Report Monday.

 Asked for Instructions as t. ;ertH;,,
 Features of the Tcstimon. - Gov ihst0A ia i'oHii and Awaits Result.

Little Rock. .ArIl.s tAi.il S5-The CoVin@eon July spent all oi Satuf- day considering the testimony and arguments laid before them and en- deay0lin2 to arrive at a verdict from the Instructions given them by the court without results They will re- port Monday. 1t is believed d ver- dict has been reached.
 When the case was closed Fri day night shortly after 10 o'clock. the members of the jury made no effort to argue the case and take a ballot but promptly hied them selves to bed in order that they might get to gether early this mirn- tug. The jury rose about , o'clock and prepared to eat breakfast. In company with two deputy sherffs they ate breakfast about z o'clock and returned about & o'clock ready for business.
 Court opened as usual Saturday morning at 0:30 o'clock, Judge Lea having arrived earlier than usual.
 About 10:30 o'clock the jury ap- peared before Judge Lea and asked that the instructions be read again. At this time, on motion of the de- fense, the jury was instructed to strike out that portion of the ar gument of Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton where he referred to the conviction of F. o. Butt and not to take that into consideration in ar irving at verdict The written in- structions were returned to the jury and they again retired
 The defendant, Webb Covington. was at the courtroom about 9:3O o'clock and remained for the great CT part of the morning. MT. Cov- ington appeared to be in good spir- it's and showed no effects of the long trial which has been for his liberty and good name. He chat ted pleasantly with friends.
 Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton was not in court this morning. he being represented by his partners DeE. Bradshaw and James A. Gray. It is understood that MT. Rhoton h lnff 1D 1 fo rncf for a week.
 The jury went to dinner at 12 O. clock without having announced that they had arrived at verdict.
 At 10 o'clock last night, after lis tening to he instructions of the court. the jury took the case of the State vs. A. w. Covington under consideration. and even at that late hour began for the first time to con slider their verdict.
 Owing to the long speech of Col. Murphy for the defense, Prosecut- ing Attorney Rhoton did not have time to finish his address yester day afternoon, and a night session of the court was held in order that the case might go before the jury as soon as possible. Court opened for the night session at 8 o'clock, and by 10 o'clock the case was fin ally submitted to the jury.

PROMINENT PERSONS
Were Witnesses-Alleged that Mrs. H1eflar Was Irresponsible When She Signed Her Last Testament = h. teresting Testimony Homestead Involved.

one of the beneficaries in the will of his mother, Mrs Salle J. Lefiar, who died in Dec. l2, 1905, attempted to set aside the instrument, and which involved some of the most prominent people in this city as W;,- nesses, occupied the greter part of the time of Judge A. B. Grace and Il jury in the Jefferson circuit court Friday afternoon and Saturday. It was late Saturday afternoon when the opposing attorneys. one of whom, M. A. Austin, was brother-n-laW of the deceased woma., concluded their arguments.
 The suit attracted unusual attea- tion owing to the prominence of the parties involved in the legal pro caeding and because of the large ae- o,laintance enjoyed by the late Mrs Tlaflar.
 A Mrs. Salle ]. Leflar died December F. 1905. She was G years old. One day before her death she signed her will In it she bequeathed a lot in Gibson's addition, Seventeenth aver nue and Main street upon which stands the old Sam Leflar home, to homestead was given Miss Keeler for life. At her death it was to pass to the hands of Guy Leflar Five hum dred dollars was also given Miss Keeler. All other property excepting the household effects which went with the home, Mrs. Leflar Willed to Guy Leflar Among it was some val uable stock in the Pine Bluff Brick company, and the Consumers Ice & Coal company. aggregating four or five hundred dollars. Guy Leflar
 was made executor without bond The last will and testament was wit messed by M A. Austin. Mrs. NJ. F. Wiley, and Mrs. l.. c. True, of Kan sas City. the latter sister of Nh $. Leflar.
 In his suit to set aside the will, Guy Leflar, the son, declares that his mother was mentally incapable of approving her last testament, be- ing e years old and in feeble health for some months, she did not know what she was doing. She was in bed ten days before her death and was, it is contended, naturally weak and irresponsible. MT. Lefar's at torneys were s. M. Taylor and w. D. Jones
 Attorneys M. A. Austin, who was brother-in-law of the deceased by his first marriage, w. F. Coleman and M Danaher, representing Miss Kee Ter, contend that Mrs. Leflar was of good mind when she signed the will and fully capable of making it her legal document She knew what she was doing, they say, and during the hearing reputable witnesses were introduced to substantiate their claims
 Mrs. Leflar lived with Miss Keeler lOT CulFly years, 6ACCpClA5 WACH ouC lived with M. A. Austin and family. hwich was about seven or eight years.
 M. A. Austin, the first witness called to the stand in behalf of the defendants, on whom the burden was placed to show the execution of the will in controversy, testified that he was called to go Mrs. Lef- lars home on some business mat ters with reference to which she desired to talk with him; that, from previous conversation with Mrs. Leflar, he assumed that it was for the purpose of assisting her to draw her last will MT. Austin then proceeded to Mrs. Letlar.s nome and on reaching there, was shown
