COUPLE CELEBRATE
59TH ANNIVERSARY
JAMES MOORE and WIFE
WERE MARRIED JANUARY 27.
1857, AND ARE HAPPY AND
WELL TODAY.

At the home of County Judge and
Mrs. j. W. Holt an aged Conway
couple are today happily celebrating
the fifty-ninth anniversary of their
marriage, an experience rare in the
history of any community. They are
Mrs. Hollis parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Moore, who became husband
and wife January 27, 1857 Content
ed and well, the couple are receiving
the congratulations of many friends,
who hope that they will live to cele-
brate their diamond anniversary one
year hence and many succeeding an
|niversaries.
Mrs. Moore, whose maiden name
was Julia Ann MITCHELL. is the elder
of the couple and is 80 years of age.
She was born October 8, 1927, in Vir-
|ginia. She moved to McMinn county,
Tenn, in early life and it was there
that she met and was married to the
companion with whom she has spent
SO many happy years. Mr. Moore was
born in Tennessee May 5, 1888.
The year following their marriage,
in 1858, Mr.. and Mrs. Moore, follow
ing the course of many pioneer spir-
its of that day, came to Arkansas to
make their home. The trip, made be-
fore the days of railroads and through
la sparsely-settled territory, was at
tended with many difficulties and ex-
citing experiences. The couple set
tied in what was then Conway coun-
ty, near the present site of Enders,
Faulkner county. Living there only
two or three years, they removed to
"a place seven miles north of Quit
man, in Van Buren county, where
they entered upon piece of govern
ment land as homestead 1t proved
to be homestead in truth, for here
the couple resided for more than half
a century, leaving the old home only
about five years ago, and for the past
year they have made their home with
their daughter in this city.
Mr.. Moore enlisted in the Confed-
crate army at the outbreak of the
civil war, and served faithfully dur
ing the four long years of that strug-
|gle. He was a member of Col. New
tons regiment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore have been the
parents of seven children, two sons
and five daughters, but of these only
three survive. They are Mitchell
Moore and Mrs. Ellen Parrish of Nor
canton, Van Buren county, and Mrs.
Holt. The grandchildren of the couple
number 23 and there are an even doz-
en- great-grandchildren
Both are members of the Baptist
church and Mr.. Moore is a member
of the Masonic fraternity.
While the weight of their great
years is naturally beginning to tell
upon them, Mr., and Mrs. Moore are
both enjoying good health and are
able to visit neighbors and friends.
The minds of both are keen and clear
and they keep well posted upon the
events of the day. Mrs. Moore is a
great reader and spends much of her
time with her books and papers. At
ter using glasses for many years, her
second sight has been given her and
she now reads unaided the finest
print

Wagon Yard Site
FOR sale

We have for sale one of the best locations in
Conway for a wagon yard, cotton seed house
produce and feed store.
The property is occupied by .. A. Thorn
ton and has 1872 feet on Front Street, running back
100 feet to right -of-way of Railroad
story, 10 room house suitable for boarders
roomers sets the center of the front part of
the lot, leaving abundant for sheds, seed
houses etc.
Has it occurred to you that property along
the west side of Front street offers almost the only
available private spur track facilities for the bus
section of the city?
If we sell this property by February 1st
1916, we will sell for much lower price than we
think the property will ever be offered for again.
The dwelling should rent for $50 to 5000 per
year, making fine investment even if you do not
want to use the lot now, and the ground alone is
worth more than the price we are now asking for
ground and house.

PETITION FOR PARDON
OF GEO. w. TIDWELL
lll IN Penitentiary. Physicians Hold
Little Hope.

hIttIc HOpes
Greenville. Dec. 1S.-Pctitions have
been circulated i'm Greenville with the
aim OF appealing to Governor Manning
TO grant q parole or pardon to George
w. Tidwcu, who is serving sentence
OF seven years in the state pcnitcn-
tiary for manslaughtcr. He was
twice convicted Of manslaughtcr when
tried for the murder of Emmett Walk
or, having appealed to the Supreme
court from the verdict of the first trial.
lie has already served about year
in the pcnitentiary
Tidwcll has been desperately i'll,
according to q story IN the Columbia
State. His condition Saturday night
and several days last week entertained
little hope for his recovery
While Il goodly number Of sigma
lures were affixed to the petition to
be presented to Governor Manning for
a pardon 1t is understood that certain
officials connected with the state are
not, at present, in sympathy with any
move that may be started to secure
clemency for the Clinton travelling
man.
Tidwell was first tried for murder
In the sessions court at Greenville, in
May, 1914, two months after young
Walker was shot to death at the
Caroina mill office, he was convicted
or manslaughter and sentenced by
Judge Joe Mauldin to twelve years i'm
prisonment. Attorneys gave notice OF
an appeal, and in the meanwhile Gov
crnor Blease commutcd Tidwcll's SEN
tence to seven years. The Supreme
court ordered new trial on the
ground that certain testimony offered
by the prosecution relative to It'd
wells wife was irrevelant, as the It'd
well woman did not testify.
year later, Tidwell was tried
again in the same court and the jury
this time found him guilty Of man
slaughter but recommended him to
the mercy Of the court. A sentence of
seven years was imposed.
While another notice Of appeal was
pending Tidwell was out on bond in
the sum Of $4,000 which has been
justified by citizens Of Laurens and
Clinton. He was later sought for on a
charge Of violating the Mann white
slave act and was arrested at Biloxi
Mississippi, after William G. Woods
had been detained on similar charge
Mrs. Tidwell was held for completely
and as a witness in the cases against
both Tidwell and also Woods. Woods
was convicted and was given a light
sentence, while Tidwell entered plea
or guilty, it was reported and late,
withdrew this plea and was acquitted
lie was then turned over to South Car
olina authorities and was brought back
to Grecnvillc and then taken TO the
penitcntiary at Columbia News.

Federal Batter Loses
81 Points Returning
To Organized Baseball

Bringing the proposition of
batting down to cold figures, a
ball player who returns to or
ganized baseball after a session
with the Federals, will lose 81
points in stick work.
On that basis there are few
players in the Fed league who
will amount to much with the
stick II given jobs with clubs in
the National and American
leagues.
Eight players who batted 400
or better In the Federal last sea-
son gained a total of .486 points
in batting over the averages they
made in the National. That gives
an average gain of 81 points for
each player.
Take away the 81 points and a
800 clouter returned to organ
lied baseball becomes a .240 hit
ter. mr. Ii
Lee Magee batted asa for the
Cardinals and 800 for the Brook
lyn Feds, a gain of 46 points.
Bill Fischer, catcher, hit .257
with the Brooklyn Nationals and

1926 with the Chicago Feds.
Charley Deal, third baseman,
was a weak sister with the Bos-
ton Braves, batting .210. He
clouted .314 in the Federal, gain
ing 104 points. Ward Miller,
with the Chicago Cubs several
years ago, also made a big gain.
He jumped from 1886 to 1907, a
difference of II points.
While Miller was one of the
leading batters of the Fed league,
he never hit well enough to be a
regular with the Cubs. His speed
afoot kept him in the majors.
The only Fed players who will
be wanted much when a distri-
button is made are Benny Kauff,
the "Ty Cobb of the Outlaws"
Lee Magee and few youngsters
like Tobin, of st. Louis, who give
promise of developing.
Many players who leaped to
the Feds because they realized
thy were on the toboggan and
saw a chance to draw big money
a few more seasons, will be given
the gate.

SPRING WILL END MOUNTAIN
PARADISE OF WITT and BRIDE
BY TOM LAIRD,

NAPA, Cal, Jan. 10.-The end
of Oscar Wits wonderful winter
with his bride up in a lonely
mountain region is looming into
sight like small cloud. The
Wits don't care to discuss leav-
ing their "Next-to-Nature" home.
1t will be hard for them to break
up house when Oscar is called for
practice in the spring.
Il suppose it will end when

when l was single, but | didn't

do now. 1t sure is great.
Witt looked forward into spring
and talked a little baseball. Next
season he wants to return to the
game in blaze of glory. lie
wants to come back to the noun
tains at the end of the season,
after playing in the worlds series
Of 1916. He thinks Detroit will
parade through the American
league and have soft pickings.
with any club in the Nationals.
Witt started playing profession
al ball about five years ago. In
1912 he was the most sought
after player in baseball. At that
time he was playing with the San
Francisco Coast league club and
every club of both major leagues
tried to draft him. When he goes
back to work, Mrs. Witt will ac-
company him and incidentally see
him for her first time in the big
game.

than they have or find a more
rugged spot to winter in.

Oscar invited, as I climbed into
the buggy ready to face death
again on that fearful trail down
the mountain. 1t was raining
harder than ever, coming down
