BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE
Meetin s of the Union are Becoming
V« ! y Interesting and Helpful
The t ne of meeting of the Baptist
Young People’s Union has been
change' from .'5 p. m. Sunday to 2 p.
in. T\'o o’clock is a more convenient
hour f< meeting than three at this
season >f the year. Everyone take
note of the change and those who can,
come out and take part in this great
work of training the young people for
service in the cause of Christianity.
By these exercises the young people
can soon become efficient in church
work and thereby render much better
service in life. Youth is the time to
prepare for the responsibilities which
rest upon the men and women of the
land. Almost daily we hear some one
say, “I can’t conduct a public service;
I can’t lead in devotional exercise,
bscause I didn’t have an opportunity
to learn when I was young.” In view
of such well known facts and realizing
that now is the time to prepare, young
people, don’t neglect your oppor
tunity to become efficient workers by
staying away from such service.
An interesting program was render
ed last Sunday. Next Sundays’ pro
gram will be: ‘‘National Dangers and
Opportunities.”

TALKING ABOUT ARKANSAS
Colorado Paper Comments on Politi
cal Change in This State
At the last state election in Arkansas
the people put into the governor’s
ofliee a man who is in striking contrast
with the usual type of politicians in
that state. George W. Donaghey is a
democrat, of course, but he is also a
business man, a contractor and build
er, who has accumulated a fortune by
the successful management of his own
affairs and who has an idea that the
affairs of the state might l>e run to ad
vantage upon the same lines that are
customary in private business.
Two particular points in Governor
1 Donaghey’s policy relate to public
; education and the development of the
, natural resources of the state, and he
has already taken steps to consult
with experts of national reputation
! upon those important matters,
j The people of the West, generally",
I will give hearty approval to this evi- j
dence that the days of Jeff Davis type !
of “statesman” are passed in Arkan- ,
sas. With its favorable climate,
fertile soil and abundant mineral re
sources, Arkansas ought to be one of
the most prosperous states of the
Southland, and the policy outlined by
Gov. Donaghey. which is equally re
moved from the old style bourbonism,
and from the wild radicalism of the
Haskell stripe, is the policy that will
bring Arkansas to the position that
rightfully belongs to it. -Pueblo (Colo.)

rHE HAN WHO HAS
A BANK ACCOUNT
The man who has an account at the Bank has many
advantages over the one who carries his money in
his pocket — he learns to save the small sums which
the man who carries his money in his pocket spends
for the hundred-and-one things he does not really
need and could get along just as well without.
He pays his bills by check, increasing his credit,
and alwa.vs has a receipt. He takes good care of his
account and increases his credit at the Bank.
He can, at any time, tell where his money goes and
see where there is a possibility of saving a little more
for business purposes.
Unless you have a Bank account, right now is the
time to start. Come in and do it today.

LAWSUIT COMPROMISED
Case Involving Title to Big Bottom
Farm is Amicably Settled
The case of the Allwhite heirs
against the heirs and estate of the late
Dr. J. A. Williamson has l»een settled
on a compromise basis, by the latter
delivering possession of the land in
question and the payment of $350
damages.
The property over which the litiga
tion started is the old homestead of
Andrew Allwhite, consisting of about
120 acres of land, his heirs Leslie and
Lewis Allwhite, having brought suit
for possession of the land.
The history of the case is al>out as
follows:
Andrew Allwhite, who died some
twenty years ago, left a homestead of
120 acres. He was survived by a
widow and two children, Leslie and
Lewis. A short time after his death
the widow married C. P. Ray, and in
1^99 she and Hay sold the homestead
to Dr. J. A. Williamson, receiving
therefor the sum of $475. About a
year ago Leslie Allwhite, who is now
about 27 years old, made an effort to
recover possession of the land, hut
was advised by attorneys at Batesville
that he had slept on his rights, that he
should have brought suit within three
years after becoming of age, and that
because of his not doing so he was
debarred by limitation. He then
offered to refund to the Williamson
estate the $475 paid for the land, allow
ing them to keep all the rents accru
ing during the time they were in pos
session of the land, but the offer was
refused.
Sometime later a relative of the
All white heirs talked the matter over
with Attorney J. K. Alexander, of this
place, and was informed by Alexander
that there was no way to keep the boys
from recovering the land and hack rent
on the same from the time it was sold by
the widow. So Alexander was employ
ed on a contingency of one-third the
land and one-half of the hack rents
recovered. He immediately entered
suit, employing McCaleb & Reeder of
Batesville to assist him. After in
vestigating the case, attorneys for the
defendants sought a compromise,
which was effected last Saturday as
above stated.
