ENTERTAINS
 APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE

Miss Erin Higginbotham, Express
 sion teacher of the Prescott High School, delightfully."- entertained an ap- preciative audience by her recital given at the Court House. last night for the benefit of an Expression Lii brary at the High School. We have heard no better readings, and humorous sketches anywhere, and the hearty and enthusiastic response
 of the audience bears this statement out.
 Miss Higginbotham received an in- troduction by Judge Geo. R. Haynie, which was highly complimentary to her, and to her work. She was assist
 ed in her recital by the Prescott Con- cert Band.
 We predict for Miss Higginbotham in her next recital, full and atten- tive house. Prescott feels honored to
 have her as teacher in their school

PRESCOTT HIGH SQUAD DE-
 FEATS ARKANSAS HIGH 6 TO o

(TeXarkana Four States Press)
 One of the best football game seen in Texarkana this season was played between the TeXarkana (Ark.) high school and the Prescott high bunch at the Maxwell yard, before small but interested crowd. Again it was demonstrated that the Texarkana lads are not playing the class of football they played last year and previous years. Prescott carried off the hon. ors by score of to 0. Prescott's score resulted from M. Gordon's touchdown in the first half, a few minutes after the game was started.
 Evidently the Prescott team has improved considerably since they were defeated by the Texas high bunch early in the season. They put lup good, clean game from start to finish. The Prescott lads worked bunting on the Arkansas lads to a perfection. At times the ball would be near the Arkansas goal and the Prescott heavies would send it sail ing out into the middle of the field.
 Only one time during the game had Arkansas what was considered a , chance to make touchdown. In the last half, just a few minutes be- fore the final time was called, the Tex arkana boys had the ball within a half yard of the goal, but could not advance the Prescott team. Prescott's s signals were almost perfect and they worked a few passes. On the other hand, it looked like the Texarkana boys did not have any pep and their best players did not play the kind of game they were expected to put up. Bennie Merritt and Kuhn and young Lynn were the only ones of the local squad that made good plays and pos- sibly kept the Prescott lads from in- creasing the score.
 The most exciting feature of the game was that the Prescott boys held the TeXarkana lads for downs on Prescott's one yard line. The stars for Prescott were Haynie, and Liv- ingston on defence and Gordon broth lers on offence.
 The line up was: Prescott Mann Haynie, White, ends; Hatley, Bryan Harrell, tackles; Duke, Livingston guards; M. Gordon, Wilson, halfbacks
