"All honor to Old Glory, for page

sweeping folds
The wonderful promise it holds, and

The faith that makes strong, and the

We may hear I'D know it and

All the pride OF the past, and glory

The red growing redder and the blue
growing bluer,
The stars flashing clearer and clearer

And the red and the white and the

The American flag means all that
the fathers meant in the revolution

laartion Of independence meant; It
means all that the constitution of a

SPECIAL SESSION CIR-
 CUT COURT CONFINES
Jury is Being Selected to Try Mark Mccain for the Murder of J. P. Slagle-Case of John Daniel Called for Tomorrow.

The adjourned term of Nevada circuit court convened this morning at no o'clock with Judge G. R. Haynie presiding and Tillman B. Parks repre- senting the state.
 Today and probably part of tomor- row will be consumed in selecting a jury to try Mark Mccain, who for the second time will face a jury for the murder of J. P. Slagle here about a year ago. As this case has become so widely known and especially in this county, it will require the summoning of scores of men before the twelve who will decide McCain's fate is selected. Mark McCain's son, Henry Mccain, will also be placed on trial at the present term charged with the same crime. -fs
 The case of John Daniel, a farmer living near Gale, who is also charged with murder in the first degree, is set for tomorrow, but it will likely be con- tinued on account of the above cases. Daniel was indicted by the grand jury for poisoning an old negro man and woman, who it is alleged he killed to get possession of their property some time last summer. This is also one of the prominent cases on docket be- cause of the wide acquaintance of the defendant
 A special session of the grand jury was called by Judge Haynie this morn ing to investigate the charges of for gery against man and woman named Gerard who are held in jail here since last Thursday, They are alleged to have passed eight worthless checks on as many merchants here last We'd nesday, each check bearing the sigma ture of O. R. Mcdaniel.

 All implement dealers having join ed, the farmers will see the very best in action, for they iwll be shown some of all kinds. At that it is not to be a machinery display, for the implements to ba used are very simple. It is not a sale of machinery, but to show the tanners improved methods of farm ing.
 The ground selected will first be broken with a two horse sulky blow. t will then he disc narrowed until the ground is quite fine. Next the wheat will be drilled in with a two horse drill, and rolled thoroughly. All the while the agricultural experts will ex- plain why each process is employed.
