testified. that since her father Eseparated from Mrs. Spivey he had been occupying an office 1 room at his former home in Cot ton Plant; that her father left 8 diary which he had kept since 1911, showing his daily acts ano revealing his relations with Mrs. Spivey-Lynch. This diary was presented to the Court, tho was pot read in open Court. The tes- timony of Miss Lynch tended to show that her father had been invited to the Spivey home on the night of his killing and that he had suspicious of it being a trap set for him and that he left on his table in his room, the writing which showed this, that this writing stated that in case any harm did befall him that Ben Trice knew of it. etc.
 Ben Trice, former city mar shall of Cotton Plant, was called and his evidence verified the statements set forth in the other evidence. He said that Lynch had told him that Iillie (mean- ing Mrs. Spivey Lynch) had ask him to come down on the night of the killing, that he was sus- picious but that he was going anyway.
 The clothing worn by Lynch when he was killed was exhibit ed in Court, tho main testimony concerning them was not reach ed. It is known that the body of Lynch was dug up after its burial and examined and it is said that Undertaken I. J. Brickell examined it and will be called to testify in the case.

Among the Churches.
BAPTIST CHURCH

Our Sunday School now has a beautifully framed certificate which certifies that we have been placed on the Convention Honor Roll. A thing of which we are especially proud is that we have set the pace for other Baptist Sunday Schools in Arkansas.
 since we are the first to obtain this certificate. That we are in select company is shown by the fact that there only about forty other Baptist Sunday Schools in the South that have been placed on this Honor Roll. To receive { this our school has submitted the following report: l. A perennial school. 2. Baptist literature used. 3. Controlled by the church and assisting the church financially in work of Kingdom building. 4. Bibles used in the school. ,. Weekly teachers meet ing with an average attendance of more than 50 per cent of the officers and teachers. 6. Norma

 Brinkley's City Council is going to look after the interests of the Brinkley people in their dealing with the Light 6 Water Co. This company has been playing at' serving the. public under a new franchise for now a year and a half and yet there is no apparent effort to force them to do what they agreed to do. No water fit to use and no day current and no assurance that we will ever have. The matter is a serious one. The apparent careless in- difference of MT.

HALPlN BROKE RECORD.
Made 40 Yards Run in 4o Seconds on
 5rookiine, Mass, Field

Many records were shattered and a number of marks equalled in the New England track and field champions held at Tech field, Froolzline Mass. Saturday afternoon. The games were witnessed by 5000 people and were featured by some brilliant perform anceS.
 Thomas J. Halpin, formerly of Dan ielson. contributed largely to the fine showing made by the entries <of the Boston, A. A.. whose athletes had a field day and captured the premier laurels in the majority of the events.
 Halpin, quarter mile champion of the United States and Canada, carried the colors of the B. A. A. to victory in the 440 yards run in 49 seconds, which is a new record for the distance The old record was 50 1-5 seconds, and was made by William Robbins of the Cam bridge Y M. c. A.
 Halpin is credited with running a magnificent race, and his record break ing performance was greeted with a pin will go to Chicago and will take part in the quarter mile race to be held in that city on the Fourth. In this race in the west he is going to have a lightning fast field against him. but he is in such excellent con- dition and running so well at the pres ent time that his friends expect to see him returned winner.
 For more than two years Halpin has been trying to break the record that went to smash before his burst of speed Saturday and he told a friend here at graduation time, when he came to Danielson for a class reunion. that he thought he would be able to do the trick in Saturdays race and he did it.
 Believe They Saw an Airship.
 If anyone in these parts owns an airship, he will confer a favor on many interested persons by freeing them from an allegation that they are sec ing things. Three times within the last ten days an airship has been reported as seen passing over Danielson by var ious persons. the latest alleged passage to be observed being Sunday night. As in the two previous cases, this mys- terious vessel of the air was seen at night; that is, rapidly moving lights were seen and the lights were taken to be attached to an air craft Res idents of High street who have seen the lights on each of the two previous occasions describe them as moving rapidly to the eastward.
 There are those however who are convinced that the airships" are no more than hot air balloons, sent up in some of the villages to the west of Danielson.
