CHARGED WITH FORGERY
Rev. F. M. Brannon of Batesville h.
 dicted For Alleged Forgery


 Rev. F. NJ. Brannon of Batesville was placed under arrest in that city Monday morning by Sheriff Dunlap on an indictment returned by the re cent grand Jury charging him with forgery.
 Mr. Brannon immediately gave bond in the sum of sl ,000 and was released, the bond being signed by John Q. Wolf T. B. Padgett, C. A. McKaig, Sam NJ. Casey, $. A. Hail and R. c. Dorr.
 It is said that the indictment grew out of a suit filed in the chaneery court about year ago by T. ]. Raney of this place, as administrator of the estate of Ben Brannon, deceased, who was brother of Rev. F. NJ, Brannon and the father of Mrs. T. J. Raney.
 Shortly after the death of Ben Bran- non, Mir. Raney, as administrator, filed suit in the cHancery court for possession of some valuable land in Big Bottom which formerly belonged to Ben Brannon, but which had passed into the possession of F. NJ. Brannon, through some alleged misrepresenta- tions.
 The indictment alleges that the Rev. Mr. Brannon forged deed to some of this property, transferring it to his step-daughter, Miss Enoch Perdue, and had the same recorded. in an effort to defeat the suit filed by Mr. Raney.
 Rev. Brannon has employed Attor- neys Sam M. Casey and Oldiield X Cole to defend him and it is said that the case will likely be tried at this term of the circuit court, the defendant having demanded an immediate trial to which it is said the prosecuting at torney has consented.

 to be Biggest Ever Held

On Thursday, May II, at Hot Springs will be begun the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist convention, the lagest delegate convention in the world to be held under the auspices of any church. Every one of the Southern states is represented at the convention, and the number of delegates present will reach far into the thousands.

 The convention itself will continue Friday, Saturday and Sunday and un- til Monday evening, and the major part of the time will be given over to the discussion of missionary matters. In fact, the convention is for the pur- pose of furthering the work of the Baptist church in the mission field.
 The opening sermon will be deliver ed Thursday night, May II, by Henry H. Battle, noted divine from North Carolina.
 The number of delegates from eaef state will not be known until May | at which time the information will bt sent the various churches, and they will proceed with the selection of theil delegates.
 The meeting last year was held a Richmond, Va, and the attendane, was the greatest in the history of tht convention. This year there is every reason to think that the meeting al Hot Springs will exeeAl in point oi number present all former efforts.
 Newark and Independence county will likely be we'll represented at the big covention.

 To the Hon. F. D. Fulkerson, Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit:
 We, the grand jury of Independence county, for the spring term, 1908, of the Independence circuit court, having completed our work, would respectful ly submit the following report, to-wit: First-We have inquired into the case of every person imprisoned in the county jail or on bail to answer<a a criminal charge and who has not been previously indicted. and in such cases we have found bills where the evidence was in our judgment sufficient.
 Second-We have examined into the condition and management of the coull- 1 ty jail, and find the same to be in ex- cellent condition. We commend the sheriff for the neat, clean and sanitary condition of the building throughout. We find seven prisoners, five whites and two colored. They state that they are we'll fed and we'll cared for. Third-We have examined the offic- ial conduct of both the county and township officers, and have no adverse criticism to render. From our obser- vations we cheerfully report that each county officer is faithfully performing his official duty. We have examined into the report of the several justices of the peace of the county and find that all of them have made proper re- ports except two, one of them having removed from the county, and the other made no report.
 Fourth-We find that the several road overseers have made their report, but said reports being in such vague and indefinite manner. this grand jury is unable to obtain much information 1 therefrom. We recommend that the county judge require them to be made in a fuller and more complete manner. Fifth-We find the court house to be in good repair, except some overhead ceiling and some leaks in roof. which should be rapaired at the discretion of the county judge.
 Sixth--We appointed a committee to visit the county poor farm, which com mittee reported as follows:
 To the Grand Jury: We, the under signed, your committee selected to make an inspection of the poor farm, beg leave to submit the following re port concerning our investigation, to- wit. r
 We find the building in nice, clean condition, and the inmates well fed, clothed and cared for. We found twenty-two inmates, ten white males, nine white females and three colored females. We recommend the purch- ase of about two acres of land lying south and adjacent to the premises on which the spoor houseN and dwelling is situated, provided the same can be done without paying an exhorbitant price. All of which we respectfully submit J. II. HoLDERBY,
 J. 5. JOHNSON,
 F. NJ. KERLIN.
 J. G. PEARSON,
 Committee.s And the above report, having been read in our hearing, the same was by the grand jary approved.
 Wehave examined into all the crimes and misdemeanors we had informa- tion had been committed, and in every case, where, in our judgement, the Ievidence was sufficient, We have found true bills.
