MINISTERHIGHLY ENDORSED
Texas Paper Praises Pastor Called to Con
 way Presbyterian Church.

Elder A. J. Witt of the Conw ay Presbyterian church has just re- ceived letter from the editor of the Hillsboro, Texas, Evening Mirror, in which he encloses the clipping printed below and says: Give this article to your paper. Accept our congratulations given amidst our wailings. Nc. is a grand man." The clipping fol- lows:
 At the conclusion of the regular morning service at the First Pres byterian church Sunday morning the pastor, Rev. A. M. MacLauch- lin, made the announcement that he had received a call from the Presbyterian church at Conway, Ark, and had decided to accept it, conditioned upon effecting satis- factory severance of his relations with the church here. He accord i1gly asked the session and the congregation to join him in a re- quest with the Fort Worth Presby- tery to dissolve his pastoral rela- tions with the Hillsboro church, thus enabling him to accept the other charge. A congregational meeting was accordingly called for next Sunday.
 Mir MacLauchlin's connection with the First Presbyterian church here as pastor will cease after the second Sunday in March and he will then assume his pastoral du- ties in the neighbor state. MT. MacLauchlin became identified with the church here nearly four years ago and the period embracing his administration has been a truly prosperous one-rendered so by his complete devotion to the interest of the church and the excellent ludg- ment which he has always exer- cised in dealing with all matters that have arisen whether pertaining to the purely divine functions of his calling or involving the busi- ness affairs and the care and i'm provement of the physical property in his charge. Without disparage- ment to those who have preceded him as pastor here it can be said that no one occupying that position in the past has done more than he

for the upbuilding of the interest of the church. Indeeed they have prospered under his administration as they never did before. As preacher he possesses many distin- guished elements of superiority. Frank, scrupulously conscientious, and uncompromising in lis ideas of right and wrong, he yet wins the confidence and regard of people because they see in him one of themselves-a single hearted man who loves his brother as himself and who, regardless of personal aggrandizement, works unselhshly for the betterment and uplifting of the human race and the alleviation of human suffering in whatever form presented. In leaving Hills boro MT. MacLauchlin and his ex- cellent wife will have the heartfelt benediction and good wishes for their future welfare not only of the members of his congregation, but of all who know them and have had an opportunity to enjoy social relations with them.

Daviess & Garvin's S Addition Title
 Defective

A short time ago man walked in to our office and said he was buy ing a house and lot tin Daviess x Garvin's $ Annex to Conway; that 1t was supposed that the title to the property was good, but he had worked hard for his money and wanted to be sure. The man sell ing the property insisted that an abstract was unnecessary, foolish and so on, and begged the prospec- tive buyer not to go to the expense of having one made. You will hear that reason often but BEWARE. The abstract showed that the man who so strenuously insisted that the abstract was unnecessary had deeded the property to his grand son-a small child-and the deed was already of record.
 Where would MT. Buyer have been if he had not gotten his ab- stract?

NORMAL GIRLS VICTORIOUS
Defeated St. Mary's Academy
 by the Score of 2o toI2.
Team is Royalty Entertained by Faculty and Students of Academy Trolley Ride
 Especial Feature.

With the defeat of last Saturday still ringing in their ears the girls basketball team of the Arkansas State Normal School went into the game with St. Mary's Academy at Little Rock Saturday with the de- termination to win or die, and came out victorious in what is re- ported to be the fastest game of basketball ever played in that city. The score was 29 to I2. Every member of the Normal team played as if their fife depended on the game.
 The team was met at the depot in Little Rock by special street car and were given a delightful ride through the business portion of the city, after which they were escorted to the Academy, where an elaborate dinner had been prepared for them. In the afternoon an- other trolley ride was taken over the greater part of the city, return ing to the Academy at 5 o'clock to make preparations for the game.
 The game was called at 3:3o D.. m. and was fast and furious from the start to the finish. The first half ended by the score of IS to 9 in favor ot the Normal. The Academy girls made a strong ef- fort to stop the scoring of the Normal in the second half, but were unable to do so, the final score being 2o to I2.
 The team also had supper at the Academy, leaving there at 7:I5, so that the girls might have the opor- tunity of spending all hour down town, but on account of wreck on the car line, they barely reached the station in time to catch the 9 D. Ill. train for home. They were met on their return to this city by a large delegation from the Normal and were given rousing reception.
 The following young ladies played in the game: Forwards, McAnaly and Owen; center, Miss Jenkins; guards, Misses Harrod and Mckinney. MT. Stevens of the Little Rock Y. M. c. A. ref creed the game and Fathers O'Rourke and Longstreth were the umpires.
 The trip will long be remem- bered.
