 George T. Davis was formerly en- ployed as a solicitor by the Adams Printing Company, but d few months ago was discharged. He took the management of Forest Park and start ed the Pine Bluff Weekly News, a weekly paper, that failed to appear more than three issues. Davis disap- peared from this city shortly after his paper failed and has not been heard of since. Davis was seen the afternoon he departed at Union Sta tion, but stated that he was going to Little Rock on business. He left all of his personal effects at his home here. His local wife is said to be prostrated. His pictures and descrip- tion have been sent all over the coun- try by Constable Frank Stewart and as the Pinkerton men are working with him on the case it is most like ly that Davis will be apprehended.

 rumor has it, a petstion for "a new hearing in the case of John McVay, the Jefferson county many now under death sentence for the killing of J. w. Ethridge, will probably be presented by his attorneys.
 McVay was sentenced to hang in the Jefferson county circuit court some time ago, and an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. That tribunal affirmed the decision of the lower court, and the death sentence still impends.
 However, in every case disposed of by the Supreme Court, fifteen days are granted as time. in which to ask for a new hearing, if such is wanted, and the highest court in the state took a recess before the fifteen days had expired in this instance.
 The transcript for this reason has never been sent to the office of Gov ernor Donaghey, and consequently he has never passed upon the case and no date has been set.
 McVay killed John w. Etheridge, a resident of Fall Back, Miss, as he was walking from the Jefferson County Courthouse, where he was on trial.
