Christmas was unusually quiet
here this year.
Our Sunday School gave their
annual Christmas treat to the
scholars which they seemed to en-
Joy very much. We have done
away with the Christmas tree in
our Sunday Schools from the fact
that some of the children get more
than the others, which naturally
causes hard feelings. AS it is,
they all share alike.
Almost all of the college students
have gone home for the holidays.
Ed. Hickman, of Granite City,
visited home folks Christmas. He
also visited Sunday School-the
one he used to attend during his
boyhood days.
/ met with an old friend, Martin
L. Clardy, Saturday before Christ
mas. He is one of the grandest
men in Missouri. He and Francis
were always my favorites and both
ought to be at Washington now, to
help look after our state. We
made a mistake by not sending
Francis to Congress. He and Bill
Stone would make a good team. l
also met Mr.. Clardy's youngest
daughter, Virginia. told her that
she ought to be proud Of her name
the mother of all the states-the
grandest old state in the Union.
Miss Lizzie Schmidt, of st. Louis,
is home for the holidays.
Miss Eta Keathley spent Christ
mas with her brother, William, at
Bunker, Mo.
q. w. Morris and, family of
Pennington, spent Christmas with
home folks; also Mrs. G. L. Will
liams and daughter, Of Poplar
Bluff, spent Christmas at home.
Miss Marie Stevenson is home
from Arcadia College for the holi-
days; also Mr.. Winniferd Steven
son is home from Fredericktown.
Mrs. Bessie Lovelace is home
from Jackson for the holidays.
Misses Nellie and Mae Williams,
Of st. Louis, spent Christmas at
home.
Mrs. j. L. Strader went to st.
Louis lasf week to meet her niece,
Miss Lucille Keirsey, who is at

Miss Keirsey accompanied her
home for the holidays.

day by the illness Of her son
Jack, who is in the Missouri Pa.

Last Saturday afternoon Braid
Shane and John Knight, aged re-
spectively 10 and IL years, were
hunting on the north side of Lewis
Mountain when Knights gun was
accidentally discharged and con-
siderable portion of the muscles
of his left thigh were torn away
and several shot entered his right
foot. Braid helped him to the
nearest house, a quarter of a mile
away, and Mr.. Hall brought the
boys to town in his buggy. Drs.
Gay and Marshall were called and
dressed the wound. Yesterday
(Monday) they took several shot
out of his right foot and John is
quite CHEEKY and hopeful. This
accident made a sad Christmas for
Mr.. Knights family but they are
making the best of it and we are
thankful that it is no worse.
A donation party under the lead
ship of jeweler, McLaughry, visit
ed Rev. and Mrs. Aspley last FRI
day evening and made them a
present of a purse of some 1923 and
some of the dainty necessaries of
life. 1t was intended to be a sur
prise but some one leaked. How
ever, the thankfulness and ap-
probation was all the same. Mr..
McLaughry, with one of the Vic
tor graphophones rendered several
popular airs, and the company
dispersed wishing brother and
sister Aspley many happy returns
of the day.
Two sisters of Miss Annie Shane
of indianapolis, Indiana, are
spending the holidays with her
at the home of her uncle, Timothy
Shane.
Rev. Cocker was laid up last Sun
day with a sprained back and Rev.
Aspley preached at Fort Hill
church at IL o'clock. There were
no services at night except the
Senior Leagues devotional SER
vice.
The Christmas entertainment at
the Fort Hill church last Saturday
evening was voted a success by all
who attended. The little folks all
did we'll and all deserve special
mention. Little Edwin Burnham
was the winner of much praise for
the cute way in which he delivered
the opening address. The young
ladies sang we'll and all the Sun
day School scholars and their par
ents and friends enjoyed the liber-
al treat of oranges, nuts and candy
which was served after the literary
program had been rendered. There
were two Christmas trees, one on
either side of the altar, beautifully
decorated and all seemed delight
ed with the Christmas cheer.
Mrs. DR.. Farrar and Mrs. Mary
Clark, of Ironton, were visiting
in Arcadia Monday.
Rev. w. G. Swope, one of the

Not Ready to Be Finished.

The physician of an uptown hos.

other day over a patient supposedly
suffering from a fractured skull. He
was taken to the operating room in a
semi-conscious condition. Two of the
surgical chiefs were there and n Of
them was just about to begin work on
the man when a telegram was handed
to him.
After reading it, he turned to the
other with the remark, my father is.

The mar was sufficiently conscious
to hear what was said and, misunder.
standing the import Of the word "fn.l

GOODWIN CASE
OVER TO FEB. ,2l
Supreme Court Orders Him to
be Produced For ReSen-
tenCe on That Day
special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

DOVER, Del. Jan. 2O-John II. Cod
win did not appear in the Supreme
Court yesterday when his case was
called at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to
be resentenced on the charge Of
bribery, his conviction on that charge
by the lower court having been af-
frmed by the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court judges adjourned
to meet again in Dover on February
21, in adjourned term, TO have Goodwin
produced before il at that time and
resentenced.
David j. Reinhardt. appearing for
Goodwin, stated that he had come mere
ly by invitation Of the court. that he
had tried in every way to get the in
formation of the decision of the court
to his client. and kilograms sent to
the address furnished counsel had not.
evidently, reached him.
Mr.. Reinhardt stated that he did not
appear for the bondsmen. but he would
call the courts attention to the clause
of the constitution wherein it was set
forth that bondsmen. in important
cases of this character. should have
thirty days in which to produce their
charge.
Deputy Attorney General Wolcott in
sisted on a special sentence-that the
court sentence Goodwin in his absence
and have his term begin with his de-
livery to the trustees of the New Cas-
tie County WorShouse. and end at the
expiration of the specified number of
years, months and days in the sent
ence.
HE has shown utter contempt for
this court. and IL his sentence is al
lowed TO stand as it is. he may return
after that time and absolutely escape
punishment as prescribed by the court
below and affirmed by this court, %
argued Mr.. Wolcott.
The court. however. deferred the
matter to February q, after issuing a
bench warrant to bring Goodwin into
court.
In the appeal TO the Supreme Court
of Delaware In the Goodwin case the
contention was not made specifically
that Goodwin had been deprived of a
trial by jury. The general ground
was laid that Godwin's conviction was
mot in accord with due process of
law" which would raise the point OF
regularity of a trial without jury. The
lower courts in the different counties
have ruled that a trial before the
judges. and without a grand or petit
jury. is constitutional. This point
has not been raised specifically in the
Supreme Court OF Delaware in any
case, however.
