NeU Store to Open

Tucker Brothers, firm composed of Ralph and Arthur Tucker, who recently purchased the stock of merchandise owned by A. c. Hen drix, will on next Friday inaugu- rate their grand opening. The bus mess is located in one of the new brick buildings in the Mixon-Mann block, one door north of Ciener's. The Messrs.

They came to Marianna about six weeks ago, closed a deal with MT. Hendrix for the purchase of his stock, and then went to the eastern markets and bought large stocks of dry goods, clothing, shoes and la- dies and mems ready-to-wear. These goods are arriving daily and are be- ing opened and placed in the shelves. The Messrs. Tucker state they will handle stock valued at $40,000. The first of next week they will dis tribute double-page circulars an- nouncing the grand opening on next Friday and quoting attractive prices calculated to draw the crowds to their store.

Parkin Put Skids
 Under Our Te0ni

As a fitting end to very sue cessful baseball season we thought it would be the proper thing to take a couple of games from the fast Parkin team of the Eastern Arkansas League, but it was just a thought, so far as winning the said games was concerned. In miser- able exhibition we were licked on the home lot last Thursday 6 to 5. Out of the goodness of our heart we charged the locals with four miscues but would probably have been more correct if we had made it forty-four. At least that is the way it looked to the majority of the spectators who took chance on the rain and came out to view a real ball game.
 If we had played the ball we are capable of playing and have played this season, there might be a different result to chronicle, but what's the use? The visitors out hit us, outran us on the bases, out fielded us and outplayed us and thereby copped the fracas in easy fashion.
 The visitors made their tallies after this fashion: In the very first frame with two down Aday hit Perdue and he promptly counted on Hammond's two-bagger. In the fourth with one gone, Floyd singled and while Elzie was missing three he reached second when Lloyd drop ped the ball after having him out. He registered on Hines safety. In the sixth Floyd went around again on a fluke home run, the ball bouncing up in the weeds and get ting lost. In the eighth they settled the affair beyond a doubt. Hines, first up, hit to Lloyd and was safe when Lloyd messed it up. Bernard tried to sacrifice but Harper threw to second to head off Hines. The play was close and Hines was prob ably safe but Derrick made it cer- tain by dropping the ball. Kizer got short single and the bases were loaded. Mitchell singled to center and three runs came in when Hardin made very slow return.
 For Marianna not runner reach ed the initial corner tMl the third inning when, with ore out of the way, Derrick hit slow roller to the pitcher and was safe at first when the guardian of the bag drop ped the ball. He stole second. Gray flew out to left. Harper doubled

MIR. AND MRS. CHANDLER
 ENTERTAIN WITH BARBECUE

MT. and Mrs. J. J. Chandler, Jr., celebrated the first anniversary of their marriage on Tuesday of this week by giving to their respective parents and a few others of the immediate families, barbecue din her.
 The dinner was spread in the yard under the dense foliage of a large beech tree. To say that the tables groaned under their load ot numerous good things besides the most excellent barbecued meat. IS putting it but mildly, and both old and young amidst much good cheer and jolity enjoyed these viands to the utmost.
 The older people visited, the children played and then there were music and rescitations, and the time passed off too soon. The guests de- parted wishing the happy couple many returns of the day and in dulging in various suggestions as to who should give the next barbe- cue.-Contributed.

a transport up the L'Anguille and tied up at Marianna at the present landing place and at night, of course, brought cotton through the woods and traded at the rate of $1.50 per pound for shoes, salt and quinine. During the war my fath- CT paid $150.00 in gold for a bar rel of salt.
 Yes, good bit of skirmish took place during the war in what is now Lee county. It was a half mile south of LaGrange near the then Watson place, between about 200 Tanks and 100 Rebs. Nobody was killed and no one injured too bad to get away. 1 rember Mike Kel- ly's horse ran away, not to the rear but right into dozen or so Yankees who whacked and beat him with their sabers. He was considerably bruised.
 But the reconstruction days were worse by far than the war time. Yes, I could tell you a great deal about the activities of the Ku Klux. A few living now remembers the Root and Cameron Debate in Hele- ma, one Fourth of July after the war. Root was the Republican speaker stated for the occasion but some how he didn't speak. Some thing happened and I've good req sons to believe the KuKlux had all to do with it.
 We had six Klans in Phillips county: Spring Creek-E. L. Black leader; North Creek, Capt. Bill Wetherley; Hickory Ridge (Mar- velD Jesse Clopton, Helena; Dr. Gray, Marianne; Gen. Govan an- other near Spring and Col. Paul Anderson.
 But that belong in chapter to itself. and some day I'll give it to you.
 The first Baptist church in Lee county was organized in 1846, and was known as Liberty Baptist Church. Mat Cox was the pastor and he preached in a little log house near the headwaters of Pat terson's branch. That old grave yard little distance down the wire road on the hill to the left as you go south is where the congregation of Liberty Baptist Church buried it's dead. There lie the Lackies, Bowdons, Findleys, Shepherds, Yan- dels, Cordels, early settlers of Lee county and many buried before the Civil War.
 The Helena Baptist church was for long time mission station of the Mount Vernon Baptist Associa- tion. In 1869 a storm blew the building away and the association donated $250 towards it recreation.
 The Baptist church at Spring Creek was organized in 1860. P. s. G. Watson was the pastor.
 Our neighbors at Spring Creek in the early days were the Shackel- lords, Billy Brown and Perkins Brown, Jack, Sam and Billy Wilkes, Ham and Billy Cotter, Willerfords, McAnultys. Bonners, Walthals and Kings.

The revival meeting at the Chris tian church is now running at full blast. Evangelist Chas. s. Barley arrived Wednesday morning from Celina, Texas, where he had been engaged in a successful revival. He must have made good as he received an urgent call to return next year. Practically all of the churches of the community co-operated. Evan gelist Barley was formerly a resi- dent of Arkansas, but now lives in Des Moines, Iowa. His evangelistic work extends over both north and south and has met with success ev- anywhere. Some of his recent meet ings have been at Kirksville and Trenton, Mo-, Harrison and Texar- kama, Ark, and Sulphur Springs and Palestine, Texas.
 Prof. Robt Fife is a southern product, a native of Kentucky. He comes from a musical family and for years was a member of the Fife Brothers Evangelistic Company perhaps the most musical company of evangelists in the world. He comes here from cooperative meeting at Snyder, Tex, where his brother, Clyde Lee Fife, who did the preaching, has accepted a call to become pastor of one of the Snyder churches. Prof. Fife has grown up from boyhood in evan gelistic work. His father was for years in the field, so that he knows every phase of the work and is a master in his chosen field.
 These men preach and sing a straight gospel message. They have nothing of the gross coarseness that sometimes enters into such meetings. All the people will be perfectly safe in inviting their friends. They will be instructed, entertained and inspired. They will be treated with the utmost courte- sy and made heartily welcome. Prof. Fife has a splendid chorus, and will welcome all singers who will help.-Press Committee.

PREACHER IS ACQUITTED

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. L.. Caney Cook, a licensed preacher of Texas, who voluntarily surrendered to the Fort Payne, Ala, authorities some weeks ago to answer an Tn, dictment for killing James Poweii at Flat Rock Church on Sand Noun ta;n June 10, 1900, was acquitted by a jury late yesterday.
