 I0WN CASE IN COURT

 BEFORE SENTENCE,
Judge Grace Let's the Jury Verdict Stand and Says Negro Misstat-
 ed Facts.

Lark Gordon, a negro who was recently convicted tin the circuit court of a charge of assault with intent to kill Cornelius Cannon, an- other negro, and given eight years to serve, when brought before Judge Grac. in the Jefferson circuit court yesterday to be sentenced and asked f he had anything to say before the sentence Was passed by the court, made a plea that would have done credit to criminal lawyer of minor
 importance.
 The negro, who has only one eye, declared that he was forced to shoot Cannon and that he could have killed his antagonist had he desired to do so. He said that he had tried to settle his differences W tn Cannon peaceably and that it was only when he thought that Cannot was going to use revolver on him and had ap- piled a vie epithet to ihim that he raised his shotgun and fired. The negro said that the ev dence against him rad been misleading and that he would do the same thing over again, if the C rcumstances were the same. He said that just before his trial Cannon had come to him and asked for s100, prcmis ng, if given the money, that he would leave and not appear against him. Gordon said he feared to tr,be witness, but asked him 10 appear in court and tell the truth about the shooting.
 Ju'.ge Grace was not touched by Gordon't appeal. He said the prison CT did not state the facts as borne out py the evidence at h's trial and that he had no right to shoot Cannon just because he had used profane language to flim. He lectured Cor don and sentenced him tc' eight years fixed by the jury.

BAPTIST MISSIONARY
 AT THE FIRST CHURCH
REV. GINSBERG, A CONVERTED JEW. MAKES APPEAL FOR FUND TO AID THE MS.
 SION WORK LIN
 BRAZIL.
Rev. Wood Hopes To Clear the Bap. tist Church of Its Indebtedness
 This Month.

Rev. Solomon Ginsburg, convert ed Jew, who for long term of years has been Baptist missionary in Brazil, addressed the congregation of the First Baptist church at both hours Sunday. His morning talk related to the condit cns in the South American country and the efforts of the Baptists to organize churches and convert the Brazilians ito followers of Christ. He laid the plans of a campa gn for funds to further carry the Gospel into that country and made plea for lccal Bsptists to contribute to the fund being "a sed.
 At the evening service the edifice was filled to capacity to hear the leoturc by Rev. Ginsburg and see pictures of Braz Han life. The d s course was an interesting one and we'll chosen to plaoIe before the American people the problem that confronts the m ssionary in an en- deavor to convert these people, who for hundreds of years ,aave heen kept down by ignorance and superstition.
 The speaker told of the work n the beginning, of the persecut' ons that the missionaries suffered; of the victor es they have won though not uhout hardship and toll. The pictures showed the many Baptist churches, their congregations and members of the different Sunday Schools, and ether interesting scenes of the larger cities of the greatest republic in South America.
 Rev. Ginsburg $ an entertaining talker, using the simplest English and his plea for help greatly impress sed many of his hearers. The ms mionary will make a canvass of the local congregation in an effort to obtain pledges for amounts to be pa within five years.
 After the missionary concluded Rev. Wood made final appeal to the members of the church who have made pledges ito assist in raising the church debt to respond before De- cember 10. He urged those who an- nounced they would help liqu u'date the indebtedness to at once send their amounts to John w. Reap.
 Tle First Baptist church was erect ed about six or seven years ago and is one of .he hondsomest and most commodious edifices in Pine Bluff. Since becoming pastor Rev. Wood has put forth every effort to raise the debt and in all probab lity his ambition will be. realized this month i.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

For those who must provide for the
winter supply of eggs, it is wise to
preserve them when the price is rea
sonable. If eggs are packed as late as
September or October, a pint of water
glass to twelve or fifteen gallons OF
water will be a safe preservative. The
water glass is a thick transparent
liquid which is added to the boiled
water and allowed to cool before put
ting in the eggs
Another simple and easy solution
to prepare is lime water and salt. A
pint Of slaked lime, pint of salt and
three gallons of water. The lime Will
make the water creamy consistency
Something New in Potato Pancakes
-Sift together a cup Of flour, tea
spoonful of baking powder, half tea
spoon of salt and scant cup of milk,
a yolk of egg well beaten. Mix all to-
gether and fold in the white of the
egg. Crate layer of cold cooked po-
tato over the griddle, then pour over
the mixture and bake until brown,
turning and browning on the other
side.
streusseI Apple Cake.-Add cup OF
sue>r to a tablespoonful each of lard
and butter, break an egg into cup
and FIJI it with milk; add two cups OF
flour sifted with two tablespoonfuls OF
baking powder. Cover the cake with
eighths of apple and sprinkle with
two-thirds of a cup of sugar mixed
wiz half cup of flour and two table
speonfuls of butter.
Kidney Bean Salad.-Combine cup
of cooked kidney beans with cup OF
tender cabbage, shredded; add one
sweet green pepper chopped fine and
cover with French dressing.
An unusual combination for salad
is a slice of Bermuda onion and slice
of orange served with French dress
