Church in Nashville, Tenn. Rev. Rightor is we'll known in Pine Bluff, where before he entered the pulpit he was in the employ of the Cotton Belt here, and where he has occupied the Trinity church pulpit on several oc- casions. The Star of Hope, announc- ing his change, says:
 Rev. Nicholas Rightor, of St Mark s Episcopal church, this City, has re- signed to accept the assistant rector ship of St. Ann's Church, Nashville, Tennessee, his resignation to be effec- tive November 1st.
 This is not unexpected to our peo- ule, as MT. Rightor entertained call from this church short time since and declined The second call, how ever, after due deliberation has been accepted by him, as it opens a wider field of usefulness and in such he be- lieves he can better serve the cause of his church
 The departure of Mr. Rightor will be matter of sincere regret, not only in his own congregation, but among our people at large, for duding his residence in Hope he has earned and enjoyed their highest esteem. In speaking Of his call to Nashville, the World, of Helena, his old home says.

CASE INVOLVES
 COURTHOUSE SITE
Supreme Court Will Decide Whether FOrdyce or Piece of Land is Seat
 of Dallas County.

The transcript in the case of J. P Benton ct al. vs. D. D. Nix, ct al., in-
 volving a question of considerable in- terest, was filed in the Supreme Court
 Thursday morning. T. B. Morton of
 Fordyce, attorney for the county com |missioners, gives the history of the case as follows:
 "The vote of the Qualified voters of the county in 1908 resulted in favor oi Fordyce, and in October, 1908, the County court declared Fordyce to be the county seat. Litigation followed
 The matter was carried through the
 courts, the judgment of the county court being attacked in many ways,
 It was sustained, however, by the
 Supreme Court, and Fordyce remained
 the county seat.
 Before the order of reward was
 made, in October, 1908, a deed was
 made to the county conveying block of land for courthouse purposes Af-
 ter the conclusion of the litigation in regard to the county seat, number
 of the citizens of Fordyce, believing that the land originally deeded fo1 courthouse purposes was not suitably located for such use, bought another site in the heart of the city, paying $4,O00 for it, and gave it to the coun-

 A proposition submitted by the Union Poultry Journal to devote space in it's November issue to an extensive pictorial writeup of the poultry inter- ests of Fort Smith and contiguous ter ritory was endorsed by the meeting. The only expense falling on the breed- CTS and fanciers will be furnishing their own cuts.
 Secretary Fleming of the fair as- sociation informed the meeting that work on the poultry building at the fair would begin this morning.

and directed the Courthouse Commis-
 signers to erect the courthouse on the site last mentioned. The contract was awarded for $45,000 courthouse, and
 the contractor, E. l.. Koonce, began the work of building on the site last sell ected. He had made the excavation, l laid the concrete foundation, and had ! the walls about six feet high when the | work was stopped by the permanent restraining order of the chancery
 court, made on the 10th day of Au
 gust, last.
 "The case was brought in the chan cery court of Dallas county to restrain the commissioners, who are J. P Ben ton, w. T. Graham and Frank Wozen-
 craft, from building the courthouse on any piece of land other than that deeded to the county and accepted by it in October, 1908. There was first
 an application of a temporary restrain ing order in the case before H. w. Wells, circuit judge of the district, and he refused the application, holding that the commissioners had d lawful right to make another selection and build on it. When the case came up flor final hearing before the chancery
 court, the chancellor adjudged that they had no such right, and that the |piece of ground deeded in October, 1908, is the permanent county seat of Dallas county. The commissioners appealed from this judgment, and the question for the Supreme court to de- eide in the case just filed is, What is
 the county seat of Dallas county? Is
 it the city of Fordyce, or is it the piece
 of land deeded to the county for court house purposes"

POULTRY SHOW
 BIGGEST EVER 
Members of Fort Smith Association
 Strive to Make the Coming Exhi- bitiOD Most Successful in His. a tory of the State.

Ft. Smith, Ark, Sept 15.-It was plainly the concensus of opinion at the monthly meeting of the Fort ? Smith Poultry association last night that the state show to be held in this city December 11-16 must be made not only a success, but the biggest event of its kind in the southwest this sea- son. It was tacitly agreed that the of ficers of the association should take Z the necessary steps to make the show ! all the enthusiasts hope it may be. President Leigh Kelley and Secretary ! l.. M. Cruson accepted the challenge and will wage a war for the best poul
 try exhibit held in the state this year In deciding to take the lead they in- formed the association that it was ex- pected to back them in their plans and activities. The association promised to stand by them until the end.
 President Kelley informed the meeting there were two important matters that must -be considered with out further delay. One is to raise from $500 to $500 to be used in the purchase of cups and for cash spec ials that are to be given in addition to the regular association premiums. The other matter has to do with advertis- ing. It costs money to print the pre- mium lists and catalog. The usual plan for meeting this expense is to sell advertising space. Committees are to be named soon for the purpose of pushing both these propositions. Need Larger Quarters.
 1.-The matter of suitable building 10 house the state show was discuss ed casually. The exposition building at the Interstate grounds was more prominently mentioned than any other Vocation. Somebody suggested that the union passenger station might be given a little prominence by being se- cured to house the poultry show. This suggestion was really regarded as a jest. It was agreed, however, that at present there is no available building in the business section of the city that would be suitable for such purposes.
 F. N. Hopkins stated that on his recent trip through Kansas and Mis- souri he was assured by numerous breeders that some of the finest feath- cred stock in those states would be placed in competition at the Fort Smith show. MT. Hopkins will short

Rev. Joseph Krauskopf: With most

from church. Days and nights are taken
up with excitement and designations; feast

GossIP.-Gossip is always a personal
confession of malice or embecility, and the
young should not only shun it, but by the
most thorough culture relieve themselves
from all temptation to indulge in it. 1t is a
low, frivolous, and too often dirty busi-
ness. There are country neighborhoods in
which it RACES like pest. Churches are
split in pieces by it. Neighbors are made
enemies by it for life. In many persons it
degenerates into chronic disease, which is
practically incurable. Let the young cure
it while they may.-Dr. j. e. Holland.

Whisky Reformers.

Laws made by whisky reformers will
come home to roost, like money put in a
rat hole. How about putting the whisky in
a. rat hole, and the money in the good wife's
stockings for rainy day.-Martson's
Weekly.
The whisky reformers never worry over
the good wife and her children. These may
60 in rags and starve. This is not their
concern. What they want is money, and
for money they will defy the law and mock
at deceny, and if they can, will take from
the husband, father or brother every cent
of the hard savings of the good wife
mother or sister for rainy day. Just as
we'll attempt to reform Old Nick into saint
as to try to regulate the sale of intoxicants
in saloon or GROCERY. 1t has never been
and can never be done, when the saloon OF
the groggery are open for the enticement
of men and young men and boys. This is
the actual if not the moral view of the
whisky traffic or other intoxicants. The
horrifying evidence is not only in the
drunkard whose end, with some exceptions
is in the pauper's grave, but in the wretches
of the howell and the poor house. The way
to hell is through the saloon and the grog.
gery.-Shrereport Caucasian.

Acknowledgment.

On the morning of the 9Th of January
our dwelling took fire, and when discover
ed, had firm hold in the roof. The wind
was moving in the direction Of the corn
crib, which was joined to a little house in
which hay was stored. In few moments
the raging flames had taken what we had
in the way of home and home comforts,
except about $50 bales of hay, ten or twelve
bushels of corn in our cabins and two beds
and seven quilts, that we succeeded in
saving. Several things burned after they
were gotten out of the house. Thus we
were left destitute and in confusion. While
the flames were raging our neighbors be-
gan coming to our rescue, but, alas! too
late to stay the misfortune; but their homes,
hearts and pocketbooks we're open.
In due time purse of $3.50 in money
and lumber had been donated. Then CON-
ing with their wagons and teams, axes,
saws and hammers, began to erect US
another home. In the meantime 5000
cypress boards were brought in by friends
and relatives of Webster Parish. By the
time the building had advanced to the point
that we could move in, the dear mothers
and daughters had presented US with two
beds and bedsteads, thirty 1.-TWO quilts, three
counterpanes, seventeen pillows, number
of towels, twelve sheets, several garments
ready to wear, some cloth and dishes.
The fathers and sons came with about
thirty five bushels of corn, two bales hay,
12O pounds pork and one hog on foot. By
the way, the benevolent spirit was mani
tested in old Webster Parish, and we real
lied the fruits of it from Minden, Cotton
Valley and the Sarepta community.
Friends, please accept our thanks. If
we are not grateful, why these feelings of
emotion as we mediate upon the ways you
shared our misfortune. Your grace pro-
duces US home. When "the world is on
fire, Keeling to and fro as drunken man,
the elements melting with fervent heat, =
may you, by the grace of the Infinite One,
have home far, far beyond the reach OF
blight and anguish.
