PROGRESS OF CHURCH WORK
Many New Buildings and Big In
crease in flembership
liev. A. F. Skinner, presiding
elder of the Batesville district of
the Methodist church, reports con
siderable progress in church af
fairs in this district during the
past two years.
A large new brick church build
ing was recently completed at
Tuckerman, a building is under
construction at Alicia, anew build
ing has been erected at Floral, and
another one is soon to be com
pleted at Concord. Plans have
been made for a new building at
Charlotte, and lumber is on the
ground f$r an addition to the par
sonage at Mountain View. The
church at Cave City is preparing
to replace the building there de
stroyed by fire some time ago. The
board of stewards of First church
at Batesville are considering plans
for the erection of a $25,000 edi
fice to replace the present building
which has become too small. There
is talk of a $6,000 brick building
at Newark to replace the present
inadequate building, but the move
ment has not yet assumed any def
inite proportions.
Rev. Skinner reports that min
isters’ salaries in the district have
been increased 45 per cent in the
last three years, and during the
past two years there have been
about 2,500 conversions and 1,800
accessions to the church.

HE F OUND THE RIGHT PLACE
A nervous looking man went
1 into a store the other day and
sat for half an hour or so, when
I a clerk asked him if there was
Sanything he could do for him.
{He said he didn’t want anything.
! The clerk went away and the
stranger satan hour or so long
! er, and after a bit the proprietor
came around to him and asked if
he could do anything for him.
“No,” said the man, “I havn’t
been well for some time and the
doctor told me to stay in a quiet
place and avoid getting in a crowd,
and noticing that you don’t adver
tise in The Journal, I just thought
this would be a quiet place, and
dropped in to rest a while.

port-Batesville special which was
put on some time ago will be dis
continued at the expiration of the
ninety-day trial period, as railroad

paying operating expenses.
It has been suggested that the
righs of “Old l'ide” are being en
croached upon since so much land
; east of town is being fenced, and
that fresh beef will be plentiful at
the railroad cow-gap just below
town. It will all work out right

the old cows right at this time.

worth a great deal to attend,

we regret very much that we shall
be unable to attend.
It is not much to say for a man
that he never had an enemy.
You could write that over a cab
bage head. It would be appropri
ate in an essay on mush, or putty.
It makes a first class epitaph
above the grave of an ox. If
you never did anything to make
anybody mad at you, you have
been called a man merely through
courtesy. You had better apply
for a place as a dummy in a win
dow of a clothing store.
On last Sunday night at the
Methodist church the children ren
dered most admirably a suitable
and well-arranged program. Each
one, from the little tot to the larg
er boys and girls, demonstrated
the fact that they all had been
well and patiently trained for the
occasion. The choir rendered
some excellent music. The long
list of singers and Sunday school
workers who participated pre
cludes a personal ment^ of all.

of gall, half a pound of brains, six
teen grains of truth, and till up
with ablituni lying. To make a
friend, take half a pound of sym
pathy, a pound of flattery, two
pounds of beneficial services; mix
well and serve hot. To make an
enemy, take an ounce of truth put
it on ice for a minute and let them
have it cold. To make love, take
a pound of taffy, a hundred weight

deception artfully applied.
The Journal was a little late last
week, owing to the fact that when
we started the big press one of the
fetchandtakeit rods gave way al
lowing the gilderfluke to fall and
break as it struck the flukellapper.
This left the gangwalloper with
only one jay flapper to support it,
which caused it to fall and break
the wrapperchoke. This loosened
the fluking in the gilderfluke and
brought on more trouble. There
is no truth in the report that we
were boozy, the peeled appearance
of our right eye being caused by
our going into the press in our
anxiety to start it and pulling the
flukerod after the slapbung was
broken, causing the flamdinger to
rise up and welt us on the optic.
We have received a brand-new
gilderfluke and hope to have no
more delays.
BASEBAWL!?!?!! DOPE
Newark Humiliates Harness by
Decisive Score of 12 to I I
One of the most, exciting and in
teresting frames of ball ever played
on a local diamond since Uncle
Pack May ban’s Braves cleaned up
the surrounding country, was play
ed here Tuesday between Magness
and the Newark Stiffs, more re
cently known as the Tigers, and
was won by the Tigers by the
magnificent score of 12 to 11.
“T)ur” team was “managed” by
that old time star, I)r. V. L. Pus
coe, who had for his captain C. M.
Edwards, whose brilliancy as a
ball player is noted far and wide.
We havn’t the exact line-up of
the visiting team, but the line up
of the home team included almost
every man and boy in town except
Sunny Duff and Colonel Qualls,
and our manager has kindly con
sented to give them a trial at the
next game.
But to go back to the game, it
was agreed by the management of
both teams that no harsher pur
suasion should be used on the um
pire than the unlimited use of base
ball bats, and that no player should
be entitled to more than two home
runs in any one inning, and that
no player should be chargeable
by the official score keeper with
more than seven errors in any one
inning.
When the stentorian voice of
Umpire Ilolderby called, “Play
Ball,” you just oiurhter seed our
Tigers go in the game! Well, the
Magness boys never did have any
chance, only up to the eighth in
ning, and then the score was only
ten to four in their favor. If Man
ager Pascoe hadn’t “gone up in the
air,” the visitors would probably
have had no chance at all. Most
of the spectators contend, howev
er, that he was not excited, but
was only after a high fly, which
he came so near getting that the
batter only made a home run. Our
captain, too, fairly covered him
self with honor, both on the field
and at second base, where he
made several vicious stabs at grass
skinners that came his way, and
which he could have easily captur
ed with a few yards of drag-net or
| some similar device. That famous
slugger, Jim Arnold, easily carri
ed off the batting honors, having
driven some terriffic liners right
into the catcher’s hands.
Well, after several hours of ex

ROBBERY AT MAGNESS
—-—
Dorr Mercantile Company’s Store
Robbed Friday Night
The Dorr Mercantile Company’s
store at Madness was broken into
Friday night and about $35 worth
of goods stolen, consisting of
clothing, shoos, pocket knives, etc.
S. M. Connor, manager of the
company’s business there, tele
phoned City Marshal J. VV. Fetzer
to come up and run the criminals
down. It was learned that they
had gone up the railroad toward
Batesville, and the officer and Mr.
Connor started in pursuit. They
overtook the culprits at Moore
tield. There were two of the par
ties, and when captured they had
on some of the stolen clothing.
They gave their names as Jas. Con
nor and Earl Stade, aged IS and 20,
respectively, and said they were
from Chicago.
They were taken before Squire
Waldrip at Magnessand were held
for the grand jury. Being unable
to give bond, they were taken to
Batesville and placed in jail.
In addition to the goods stolen
at Magness, eight pocket knives
were taken off them when arrest
ed, the knives bearing the brand
of the Pape-Thiebes Cutterly Co.,
and one of them was wearing a
pair of shoes that had probably
been stolen, as they were shoes of
good quality and about two num
too large. They were the Brown
Shoe Company’s make.
A letter was found on Stade
which had been written to him at
Rison, Ark., presumably by his
toother, and had b’feen forwarded
to him at Jonesboro.
It is thought that they are per
haps part of a gang that has been
operating as professional crooks.
