NEVER ARGUE WITH A MAN WHO TALKS LOUD. YOU COULDN'T CONVINCE HIM IN A THOUSAND YEARS
GARRETT GUILTY;
5 YEARS IN PEN
Youth NVho Killed Sweetheart’s
Father Found Guilty-—Ciirl
Will Remain Loyal
Grover Garrett who was charg
ed with murder in the first degree
for killing Clem Wackerly near
Jamestown some time ago, was
convicted of manslaughter in the
Circuit Court at Batesville, and
was given five years in the pen
itentiary.
Arthur Goodwin who was in
dicted for murder in the first de
gree as accessory to the crime was
acquited by the jury.
The jury was unable to agree
on the punishment of Garrett and
left that with the court. The
court passed sentence on him yes
terday morning and he was given
five years in the penitentiary.
WacKerly’s daughter, to whom
Garrett had become engaged be
fore the killing, and over whom
the killing resulted, is reported to
have declared after the trial that
she will remain loyal to Garrett
and will marry him after he has
served his penitentiary sentence.
It will be remembered that Garrett
had gone to Wackerly to ask his
consent to marry the young lady
when the trouble arose that re
sulted in Garrett killing Wackerly.
It was then thought the daughter
would abandon Garrett, but since
his conviction she is said to have
declared that she jvill remain loy
al to him.
When sentence was passed on
Garrett yesterday morning, his at
torneys filed a moijyjn for a new
trial, which was over-ruled, and
the case will be appealed to the
supreme court.

Clark were married Sunday after

POLITICS BECOMES
NEVER-ENDING GAME
Senatorial and Gubernatorial Can
didates Begining to Hake
Their Desires Known
Now that the national election
is over and all our county and
district officers have entered upon
a new two-year term, the people
may turn their attention to other
matters and forget politics for a
while. However, the people will
not be permitted to lose sight of
politics very long, as candidates
for the U. S. senate are already
making their wants known to the
people, and it seems very probable
that there will be a full field. Gov.
Donaghev, Senator Clarke, Con
gressman Oldfield and Ex-Con
sressman Brundidge are being
mentioned as candidates.
If for any reason Senator Clarke
decides not to make the race, it is
expected that Governor Robinson
will announce, and once more he
and Gov. Donaghey will measure
lances in the political lists. This
contingency would bring out
another crop of gubernatorial aspi
rants, and there is little doubt but
that one of them would be Earle
W. Hodges, present Secretary of
State. It is also a well known fact
that Associate^ Justice. W. F. Kir
by has other aspirations than to
remain on the bench, and Attor
ney-General Hal. L. Norwood has
been too prominent politically, and
is too aggressive as a campaigner,
to retire into the oblivion of a
successful law-practice. And John
W. Crockett, who will retire in
another two years from the office
of State Treasurer, must be reck
oned with in the distribution of
future honors.
The legislature usually devel
opes a number of candidates for
state officers and sets the political
ball rolling, and as as the legisla
ture convenes in about sixty days,
the cessation of political activities
will he very brief.

REGAIN FARM SOLD
TWENTY YEARS AGO
Joe and Alfred Garner Win Suit
Against Churchill Heirs For
120 Acre Farm
A lawsuit of more than ordinary
interest was settled in the circuit
court at Batesville last Thursday
when the court entered judgment
in favor of Joe and Alfred Garner
of this place in a suit instituted
by them against Dr. R. C. Dorr of
Batesville as guardian of the
Churchill heirs for the possession
of a 120 acre farm near Charlotte.
Joe Garner, father of the young
men who were plaintiffs in the
suit, died in August, 1889. He left
a 120 acre farm and was survived
by a widow and children. In 1892
the widow sold the farm to J. N.
! Churchill, now deceased and the
land passed to his heirs. About a
year ago Joe and Alfred Garner
entered suit through their attor
ney J. R. Alexander of this place
for possession of the land. Although
the land had passed out of their
possession 20 years ago, they won
the suit and were given judg
ment for possession of the land.
The farm is valued at $1,500.
COUGHED UP A TACK '
About 20 months ago Jeff Hop
per, a young son of S. R. Hopper,
sucked a large shoe tack down
his windpipe and into his lungs.
I The tack gave him great pain but
resisted every effort to dislodge it.
Various doctors and skilled sur
geons were tried but could give
no relief. A few days ago the
j boy took one of his coughing
spells, the father went to him, and
during the paroxism the tack wras
coughed up, and the boy is about
as well as ever. Mr. Hopper and
his son were in town Wednesday
and exhibited the tack.—Moun

RAILROAD BOYS
DO GOOD DEED
Discover Widow Sick and Desti
tute and Raise Substantial
Fund For Her Relief
A few days ago Mrs. Reeves, a
widow with five small children,
living at Paroquet, was found
sick and in destitute circumstan
ces, and the railroad men who
work at the Ball & Peters gravel
pit near there on White river
came to her releif in a most com
mendable manner. Although some
of these men may appear a little
rough on the exterior, their con
duct in this instance shows that
beneath the surface there is in
them much of that element of a
noble manhood and that bond of
human sympathy that many of us
need to cultivate more
One of their number learned of
the unfortunate woman’s condi
tion and reported it to the “gang.”
It was proposed by one that they
might help the woman with a lit
tle donation. So the donation
was started and in less than ten
minutes a fund of $23.50 in cash
was raised and the money sent to
the woman by special messenger.
The Journal learned of the in
cident, and believing it to be a
most commendable one, and de
siring to give honor to whom hon
or is due, we publish herewith the
names of the donors and the
amounts given by each.

FIRST KILLING FROST
The first killing frost of the sea
son appeared Sunday morning.
This is considerably later than
usual, and the late frost and fine
weather has made this a most fav
orable fall for the cotton growers.
