CIRCUIT COURT
EXPENSES LIGHT

The recent term of the Faulkner
circuit court will probably cost less
than any session ever held since the
county was formed, County Clerk j.
II. Bailey estimating that the total
expense of the court will not be over
200 Costs in eight cases in which
the defendants were acquitted or
nolle pressed were certified to the
county by Circuit Clerk A. M. Ledbet-
ter this morning and the total costs
in this number of cases were only
$139.75. Costs which have already
been allowed by the court are as fol-
lows: Grand jurors, $284.15; petit
jurors, $302; witnesses before grand
jury, $187. This makes total of
$910.90 The costs in four cases in
which convictions were secured and
the defendants sentenced to the peni-
tentiary have not yet been certified,
as it is necessary for the sheriff to
levy an execution for the costs, but
they will in the end doubtless have to
be paid by the county. 1t is not
thought, however, that they will
amount to more than $500.

INTEREST MANIFESTED
IN LAND CONGRESS

Little Rock, Jan. PIE. r. Rat
terree, chairman of the executive
committee which is working up the
Arkansas Land Congress, which is to
be held here March 1926, for the pur-
pose of arranging plans to advertise
Arkansas over the world, is receiving
from those interested in the advance
ment of the state, many letters of en-
couragement. Guy H. Stewart, COM
missioner of agriculture of the Cotton
Belt railroad, has written a personal
letter to every merchant and profess
sional man in his territory, calling
their attention to the congress, and
these are bringing the results. France
Bros, of Gillett have written that
they expect to be here with large
exhibit of the rice raised in that sec
ton, and requesting room in which to
make a big display. One of the fea-
lures of the congress will be the adop-
ton of resolution asking the Ar
kansas legislature to make an appro-
priation of $4,000 to be expended
by commission appointed by the
governor to advertise the state. Those
promoting the congress say the state
( would get $50,0OO,0OO in results from
the 900 thus expended.

COL. JONES STILL
HOPES TO GET GAS

Little Rock, Jan. 27.-Now that the
city council of Little Rock has granted
a franchise to the Pulaski Gas Light
Company to pipe line of natural gas
into this city from the Caddo gas
fields, Col. John B. Jones, who has
been drilling for gas in the vicinity
of Plumerville for the past two years,
and will soon begin the sinking OF
another well, will not make an at
tempt to pipe his gas into Little Rock
when he secures it. Col. Jones is con-
fident he will get the gas in the new
well, in which he will correct the mis-
takes made in sinking other wells,
and considers it now merely a matter
of putting the drill through 5000 feet
of rock and soil before coming upon
the gas in paying quantities.
81 shall make no further effort to
bring natural gas to Little Rock, y
said Col. Jones yesterday, "for there
are too many other places where l
can find a ready sale for it. | will
create my own demand, and make one
town of Morriton and Plumerville
by putting factories in there with
low priced gas. Conway, too, may be
built up in this manner | do not
mean this as knock to Little Rock,
but | will have to get a market for
my gas. | have spent over 100000
in looking for gas, and when | get it
| cannot allow it to go begging. Nor
rilton was once a very good manufac-
turing town and is so situated that it
can be made so again. When | came
to Arkansas twenty-seven years ago,
Morrlton was the lacoton of big
glass factory, and with cheap gas,
there is no reason why another big
glass factory could not be started
there. Plumerville is also a good
town for factories, and l will put in
gas so cheap the factories will come
and make a city out of the two small
towns. 1t will not be long before
have the gas, either, for | will be
ready to drill again in a short time"
