PRAISES CONWAY TEACHERS

Announcement of the employment Of
Miss Maude Carmichael "a one Of
the teachers in the Conway public
school for the year 19l5-19l6 will bs
pleasing information to her many
friends scattered all over this county.
Miss Maude is one of Van Buren,
county's most talented ladies and her
success in the educational field is all
the more gratifying to her friends be-
cause of the adverse circumstances
under which she has prosecuted her
studies. In the person of Miss Mar
garet Stephens this county has had
another talented lady connected with
the Conway school for several years
and her unemployment for the COM
ing year is equally gratifing to her
friends and acquaintances.-Clinton

Sam BELL AGAIN TO
Be TRIED FOR LIFE
GIVEN LiFt SENTENCE
WAS FOR MURDER
OF BUT ONE OF FOUR
HE SLEW.

Morrilton, May 24.-Sam Bell,
slayer of four of his divorced wife's
relatives, will be tried again this
week, this time for the murder Of
Mrs. Eard Bearden.
This announcement was made by
Prosecuting Attorney Hayes, soon af-
ter a jury had found Bell guilty Of
the murder of Eard Bearden and
fixed his punishment at life in the
penitentiary. The prosecutor plain
ly was disappointed at the action of
the jury in fixing Bells punishment
at life imprisonment, because this
makes another trial necessary, and
he had hoped to avoid this expense.
However, it is said that the prosecut-
or feels that the fact that the jury
disregarded the defense of insanity
set up by Bells attorneys makes an
other trial imperative. 1t also is said
that the details of the killing of Mrs.
Bearden are muc hmore brutal and
CHASTITY than those of the killing Of
her husband. 1t is said witnesses
will testify that after shooting Mrs.
Bearden, and while she lay on the
floor of her home, dying and yet full
ly conscious, Bell walked in and
ground his heel into her face, then
stamped upon her.
Bell still is in Jail here. He main
tains the same impassive demeanor
that has characterized him ever since
his arrest and as usual refused to
talk to anyone today.

opinion held by a good many persons that
meetings OF Rotary clubs are for good

something worth while.
The Rotary motto Of "Hc profits most
who serves best" carries with it, he says,
the highest ideal OF any civilization and
II behooves the club to adopt a policy
whose object Is real service through ac-
tlon which will result in bigger, better
and finer Allentown. His program is:
Advertising the city, advantages of clean
and paved streets, ENCOURAGEMENT of all
educational activities, higher ideals in
business, service to the public, city plan
