 Citizens of Argenta.
Little Rock

Little ROCK -
 James Gerlach, suspended munici- pal judge of Argenta, swore out a war rant against Mayor James P. Faucette of that city, asking that Faucette's mental condition be inquired into.
 Judge Gerlach said: q have lived in constant fear of my life for the past several months, due to his atti- tude toward me. The first impeach- ment proceedings instituted by Mr. Faucette were thrown out by Judge Guy Fulk.
 "Then the second impeachment pro eeedings were instituted. I at first thought would resign, but my friends persuaded me to fight the charges, which are entirely false, as will Ee proved. Threatening actions by MT. Faucette during the last few days have convinced we that my life is un- safe as long as lie is at large. I have therefore decided to have his sanity tested in our courts as a measure of personal safety"

An usher in one of our local

indicates that he has at last located
the stingiest man, at least in these
parts. Some time ago, in his rounds
with the collection plate, he was
handed a dime by man who ask
ed for change. This was unusual,
for so small a coin, but he took a
nickel from the plate and handed to
the man. But the man was not
playing that strong, and asked for
four more pennies, and these the
collector was able to fish around and
get, as there seemed to have been
several penny contributors that
morning.
