Optimism.

Hope is a quality of the spirit of man more stubborn of it's ground than life itself. It dwells not "in che suburbs of the soul, but holds it's place rather as a window through which the future may be seen. It lets us in to the dark places with confident stride that otherwise we would shuffle through by halting steps. It shows the little things by which we climb, so that we make of hindrances a kind of lookout from which to take a survey of the land beyond. And if that land seems bet ter than it be, we care not, because it never lets us near enough to know.

Antici any


 vesterfA D .ae state, is
 nd waitins or the solving of the murder of Miss Ella Barham.
 The case will be called at Harrison, Boone county, January 13.
 Great trouble is being anticipated by court officials in the selection of a jury. Sheriff Helm has ridden the county over seeking talesman but he was unable to find many men who did not have an opinion formed of the murder.
 Circuit Judge George w. Reed of Heber Springs will try the case, and it is believed that it will prove the hardest fought criminal case in the history of northwest Arkansas. Prob ably not more than one-tenth of the people who will come to Harrison to hear the trial will be able to witness it, as the courtroom of the new court house will not accommodate them. From all parts of the county, especial ly from the north part where the Bar hams and the Davidsons are better known, entire families have indicated their intentions of attending.
 Story of Murder.
 The facts of the murder of Miss Ella Barham are:
 The girl was dragged from her horse as she returned to her home from 8 neighbor about Il o'clock a. m., No vember 21, was assaulted, killed, her yUit her body cut into pieces. The body was found in the woods about mid night by fox hunters who had joined the searching parties. The head and legs had been cut off and the trunk cut in half. The murderer had car ried the dead girl nearly half mile from the scene of the crime and had taken off his shoes to wade Crooked creek. The body wss found on the opposite bank of the creek.
 Circumstantial evidence against Otis ADavidson was strong and he was ar Crested. The strongest evidence the state hopes to introduce is the fact that foot prints in the sand at the scene of the murder correspond to prints made by Davidson's shoes.
 Otis Davidson was arrested Friday November 22. His brother, Lair, was arrested the next day. Both men were taken to Harrison, but were inn mediately removed to Berryville by the officers as evidences of the or ganization of a mob were seen. Lair Davidson has since been taken to the Searcy county jail at Marshall The accused brothers will not talk and say they have been advised to say nothing about themselves. They are sons of Kent Davidson, who is a justice of the peace in Zinc township, in which Pleas ant Ridge is located. 7A

EDITORIAL OPINION

ately from the proper viewpoint. which
Is this; Let us realize that the birds
are a friend Of man. That they destroy
the insects and pests that are enemies
to the farmers. let us realize that if
we must fight the bugs that threaten
our fruits and other farm crops, it is
because we have not taken care of our
birds as we should, and let us protect
the birds. Let us have a law that will
protect and increase the birds, not for
the sportsman or gunner, but for the
farmer. If we win only protect the
birds, it is easy enough TO take care
of the gunner. Every tenant or land
owner has all the law needed to do this
and always has. but has he done itf lie
