FILES FIRST CLAIM IN
 22 YEARS J.P. SERVICE

For the first time in his P years service as justice of the peace of Harve township, J. w. Hancock today filed a fee bill against the county. The claim was for costs in felony Case, in which the defendant was bound over to the grand jury. During his long tenure Squire Hancock has nev- CT failed to attend a session of the Faulkner county levying court. His record is probably equaled or exceed ed by very few justices of the pease in the state.

In addition to this nearly $2000 has been expended in permanent improvements on the court house grounds. The unusually large allowances, however, have had a depressing effect on the price of county scrip, which is now lower than it has been for several years. From 60 to 65 cents on the dollar seems to be the market price on scrip at the present time.

Rev. Dr. r. W. Gee. of Methodist Church. Delivers Eloquent Ser
 mon on Elkdom.

The Forrest City Lodge, No 12l9, E. r. Q. ElkS. met al their lodge room sunday morning, and marched in a body to the Methodist church. where as previously announced. Rev. Dr. F. W. Gee. the beloved pastor, delivered most eloquent and edify- ing sermon on Elkdom. He went in- to his subject in a thoroughly mas terful manner. pointed out in a force ful way it's many virtues. its great charities, its loving friendships. its noble tenets, and it's exalted features. and correcting any erroneous im- pressions that might have existed in the minds of any of his hearers that the order was instituted for the pur- pose of frivolous pleasures.
 In addition to the Elks. there were a large number of other citizens present. and all seemed to have en- ioyed the discourse very much indeed. lt is calculated 10 bring about a closer bond of friendship among the people. and to this end appeals 10 all hearers alike It recited the friend ship of Damon and Pythias, and of other undying examples of devotion among men, and altogether. was greatly enjoyed and accomplished much good,
 In this connection, We understand that Dr. Gee las an address prepared along similar lines for the Knights of Pythias. and as this order was for merly one of the leading orders in this city. we would be glad if some interest could be awakened among them and that he could be induced to deliver his K of |. sermon at some date in the near future, and that it may be the means of re.or- ganization Of the order in this city.
 Dr Gee is also k. of F.. and would like very much 10 re-organize the Uniform Rank here

HARTMAN MERGER

Supreme Court Holds Sherman

NINETY DAYS TO OFFER PLAN
Long Fight Against Southern and
Union Pacifics' Combination
Ends in Victory for
the Government.

Washington, Dec 4.-Declaring the
great Hartman transcontinental rail-
road combination in restraint of trade
and illegal, the Supreme court of the
United States on Monday dissolved
the merger of the Southern Pacific,
the Union Pacific and the Salt Lake
lines-a merger which represented the
browning achievement Of the late H
H. Hartman. The decision sustained
the governments suit against the COM
bination under the Sherman antitrust
law which was instigated by Theodore
Roosevelt in 1908 and prosecuted by
Frank B. Kellogg, the Minnesota trust
buster, who continued to work upon 1t
through President Taft's administra-
ton.
Justice Day, reading the opinion,
indicated that the court would enter
a decree to dissolve the combination
and also an injunction to prevent the
Union Pacific from voting Southern
Pacific stock.
Any plan or plans shall be pre-
sented to the court within three
months from the receipt Of the man.
date of this court, falling which, or
upon the rejection by the court of
plans submitted within such time,
the court shall proceed by receiver
ship and sale, if necessary, to dispose
of such stock in such wise as to dis
solve such unlawful combination.
The court instructed "the circuit
court to retain it's jurisdiction to see
that the decree above outlined is
made effectual"
The governments fight against the
Union Pacific merger began in 1908.
