CLARENDON PLANS
 A BUSY 1920
The County Site Town Busy in Many Ways. Property Changing Hands. Poli-
 tics Started

The new year finds our sister town of Clarendon talk ing on a new spirit of life.
 Property valuations are pick ing up and there's deal of trading going on.
 Our fellow citizen, Geo. r. Reid, who left Clarendon few years ago to move to Brinkley where he has become our ice magnate, sold out his holdings in Clarendon Gall except one brick store building) on Mon day to R. F. Milwee, who it is said has showed his faith in his town by investing $10,000 in Clarendon property during the past 30 days.
 The finishing touches to the Blackton-Clarendon road were added this week when peti- tion for the formation of the district was filed in the county court. The petition is said to have on it the names of con- siderably more than the re- quired amount. Among the pe- titioners are quite a few Brink leyites who own property in the proposed district, in fact 1 don't know of a single Brink leyite who failed to sign the petition for the formation of the district.
 This will be Clarendon's first hard surface road and it is pro- posed to connect it up with the Helena road now being built to the Monroe county line, near Blackton. It will prove a most valuable line for Clarendon and should the north lateral be built from it up thro' Pea Ridge it will be the making of Clar- endon. But there are those ill Clarendon who are like some of our Brinkleyites-don't want to pay a road tax and it may be that they will go into the courts to stop the district.

bId MURDER
 TRIAL NOW ON
Nearly All of Monroe County Bar Go To Arkansas County Circuit Court in Perry Martin Mur-
 der Trial.

The trial of Perry Martin of Clarendon, charged with the Killing of two timbermen by the name of Keren and Robert Son, on White River below Clarendon last Fall, began to- day in Arkansas Cikcuit Court.
 Martin, the accused man, has been confined in ArkanSas County jail for several months awaiting trial.
 He procured a fine array of legal talent to look after his interest but it seems that they were unable to have the courts grant him bail, notwith- Standing that they have tried before all the courts, even car rying their case to tbep4pfenfe Court.
 Martins lvfyers are L. C.. Smith of Arkansas County, S. IS. Jeffries, B. Moore, J. P. Lee and G. Rtis of this county, Bob Rodgers sSQer Attorney-GenerA of I.itt,a Rock.
 Perry Martin, the accused Aaan, figured in a killing at Y AClarendon a few years ago Ewhen Shep Maberry met his H1eath at Martins hands. Martin was acquitted, establishing the pfoof that he acted in self defense.
 Martin, it appears, is not a
 lad man" bat is a qstiet easy SDing fellow, quick on the pigger and is able to look out E%xfter his interests. He has a nice family and friends who say that he vii come out on top and be acquitted.
 The trial is now going on.
