|. Two negroes, giving their names as Frank Worthy and Nathan Henry were arrested here last week by Mar shal Willingham on a charge of hav- ing stolen wagon, two. mules and harness from man at Haynesville, La, few weeks ago. The negroes were lodged in jail here until yester- day whn deputy sheriff Baucum of Haynesville came up and took the al- legged thieves back with him.
 The negroes sold one of the mules to L. j.. Griffith of this city for $120, the other mule, wagon and harness to Dr. J. s. Chastain, also of this city for $120. The stolen articles were taken in charge by the officers and the team and wagon were driven through the country to Haynisville by Glen Blake and turned over to their rightful own CT. Fortunately all of the money re- ceived by the negroes for the stolen property was recovered and returned to Mir. Griffith and Dr. Chastain. So, speaking lightly of serious matter, all concerned have what is coming to them but Worthy and Henry who will get theirs from the judge in Louisiana.

BOY CONVICTED WITH SCANTY
 EVIDENCE
Special to the News.

Special to the News.
 Gurdon, Feb. 1S.-at the mayors office here today a very peculiar and unusual trial was held. The defend ent,' Owen Duke, captain of the Pres colt High School Basket Ball Team was charged with disturbing the peace and damaging property. Though a. bout twenty of the local boys were in the rock fight only two were willing to testify for the city, and they seem ed to be interested in the floor while testifying. One of the city's star wit nesses had been accused of writing bogus checks at Hope and he admitted it. The other was not attending school. The evidence of the defend ent was told from the stand on level with the judges eyes. There was no stuttering in their testimony. The city had no prosecuting attorney. There was about twenty spectators present-the whole trial seemed as a comedy to all them. They were cov- cred with smiles from the start until the judge assessed a five dollar fine and cost upon the defendant; attorney immediately wrote out an appeal to circuit court to be held at Philadelphia next August.

 Shows Country, n Manhattan Giving Monthly Tribute Landlord.

More than 88 per cent of the homes in New York City are rented. In the Borough of Manhattan the percentage rises to ST.
 Nor is this condition limited to the Metropolis. It is common to most cities. The people of the United States who live in rented homes are in excess of 54 per cent of the popula- ton, according to the latest govern ment returns. About 45 per cent own the houses in which they live.a
 These statistics have been collected for the survey of city life now being conducted by the Interchu-ch World Movement to provide practical pro- gram for close- cooperation of Protes- tant churches in America. And the survey already reveals one of the cravest problems now confronting the church.
 Rented homes, the survey shows, mean migrant families, for the day or the long lease is passing, and increases in rent cause increases in moving. The migration of families has shifted and changed the congregations of urban churches. And too often the family that moves beyond the reach of one church does ,ot transfer its member ship to another, even though it attends that other.
 The moving family, say the workers ,on the survey, leaves the church letter.

 One preacher in a pastorate of 13 years noted 5000 changes in his con gregation.
