FIRST METHODIST
CLEAR Of ALL DEBT
is To CELEBRATE
PASTOR AND MEMBERS OF
wELL-KNowN AND POPULAR
CHURCH INVITE PUBLIC To
WITNESS THE CEREMONY.

The pastor and members Of First
Methodist Church are greatly re-
joiced over the success in having paid
the great debt which was on the
church, and expect to celebrate the
event Sunday at II a. m.
The amount that the church owed
the Virgins estate was $19,774, and
this debt has been entirely cancelled,
but to do SO First Church has borrow
ed $4,000 from the General Board Of
Church Extension of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, at per
cent for a term of years, and also
made a borrow from local bank for
$500, which. note is to be paid in
ninety days. The amount of indebt-
edness actually paid this year up to
present time is $13,974, and pave
ment bill of $4O2.78, besides some
other small bills, making total of
more than $14,400. Thus in paying
off this big debt this congregation
has been relieved of the paralysis and
embarrassment with which the church
has had to struggle for years.
Sunday will be a great day with
the Fi3s Methodist Church congre-
cation, not only because the big debt
is removed, but also because it will
mean the beginning of brighter
future for this great church.
The membership has had long
and hard struggle, and for the most
part have been faithful, loyal and
true, and because of the great work
accomplished richly deserve the re-
ward which is now at their hands.
1t is the earnest wish and desire
of the pastor and official board that
every member of the church be pres
ent Sunday at IL a. m. to take part
in this service, to enjoy seeing the
buttons removed, and to see the old
mortgage burned.
For the p. m. service Mrs. Clut-
ter, the organist, has prepared the
best program of music and song that
has been given by this church thi!
year, and you are also cordially in.
vited to attend this service.
1t is very fitting that the closing
service should be one of prayer anC
praise.
Wanted at least 900 to enjoy thes,
two services.

ACCIDENTAL KILLING

Hand Thinking Him Burg

Nelson Curtis, a young man
about Il years of age, was shot
and instantly killed at the
home of George Walden, near
Walnut Grove, about II miles
north of Newark, Saturday
night.
The sad and deplorable
tragedy was the elimination
of what is supposed to have
been an attempt of young Cur
It's to play a joke on Mr.. VALID

Curtis had been working for
Mr.. Walden for some time as
a farm hand and lived at the
Walden home.
Saturday evening Curtis
was preparing to go to Char
lotte to attend a singing, and
told Mr.. Walden when he left
that he would not return until
Sunday morning. He left the
Walden home in company with
j. L. Wilson, a young man
whose home is near Cave City.
They rode together to the forks
of the road, where they separ-
ated about 8 o'clock. Curtis
told Wilson that he would
spend the night at Charlotte
and return home to Mr.. Wal

When they separated, Wilson
went to his home near Cave
City and Curtis rode off in the
direction of Charlotte. Where

RICHARDSON FREED
OF MURDER CHARGE
After Three Hours Delibera-
ton Jury Acquits Bates
vile Mayor of Murder

Mayor V. G. Richardson of
Batesville was found not guilty
of the murder of Farrell Pad
gett in the circuit court at
Batesville last Saturday.
The case was given to the
jury at 11;30 Saturday morn
ing and at 2:30 p. m. a verdict
of mot guilty" was returned
by the jury.
Richardson's 17-year-old
wife was in the courtroom when
the verdict was read. AS the
foreman pronounced the YER
dict, mot Guilty" she rushed
into Richardson's arms. While
the crowd rushed for the exits
the two wept silently. When
the room was cleared they
walked to the street, where an
automobile waited and wer,
Whirled away.
Richardson killed Padgett in
a tent of a carnival company.
It was brought out in the trial
that Padgett's attentions to
Richardson's wife had caused
the trouble that led to the kill
ing.
Richardson's defense was
that he entered the tent to re-
with Padgett and
that the latter started to at
tack him with arevolver, where
upon he shot Padgett. Testi-
mony at the trial tended to
show that Padgett was not
armed. Richardson, however
stuck to his story that he kill
ed Padgett in the belief that
It was necessary to save his
life.
After the trial, Richardson
gave out statement to the
press in which he said that
Padget was encouraged by enc
mics of Richardson TO pursue
and annoy his wife in an effort
to estrange them in the hope
that he would attack Padgett,
thus giving Padgett an excuse
to kill him. Richardson stated
that this plot was Matched pri-
to extract money from
him. He added that there had
never been any trouble be-
tween he and his wife, that he

6 BALES COTTON Sell
in NEWARK FOR $693
Land Bought Recently for ST. .25
Per Acre Produces Crop
Worth 500 an Acre

J. M. Dry, a farmer of the
Paroquet neighborhood, sold
six baleA of cotton in Newark
last Friday which brought him
$693. 68,not including the seed.
The bales weighed more than
500 pounds each and sold for
20 cents a pound, averaging a
little more than $115 a bale.
The cotton was grown on W.
w .Magness' farm and affords
a remarkable example of land
values in this community. The
land was purchased by Mr..
Magness about eight or ten
years ago as swamp land, at a
cost of $1.25 per acre. Later,
the construction of a drainage
district ditch through that sec
ton aided in draining the land.
Mr.. Magness cleared the land
himself at a cost of about S.
per acre and by cutting a few
small bitches, converted the
once valueless land into splen-
did farm, which this year is
producing almost a bale of
cotton to the acre.
Mr.. Dry cultivated part of
the land this year, paying the
usual third and fourth of the
crop as rent. From the land
cultivated in cotton, Mr.. Mag
ness will receive this yearabout
S28 per acre rent. And less
than ten years ago this land
was considered almost value
less.
There is still great deal of
land in this section of the coun-
try between Newark and Black
river that should be cleared up
and put in cultivation. Much of
this land which has heretofore
been considered as almost
worthless, is being put into Gull
tivation, and when it is drained
and given proper cultivation,
it produces we'll and this sec
ton is being rapidly transform
ed into splendid farms.
