ROBERTS BOUNCED
BY SEARCY LODGE.
Expelled by Masonic Order Be
cause of His Connection With
Lightle Frauds—Ligh
tle’s Case Postponed.
Searcy, Nov. 22. — Another
step has been taken in the fa
mous Lightle-Roberts insurance
fraud and grave robber cases
which have attracted so much
attention the past few months. ■
The Masonic fraternity at]
Searcy last night expelled John
V. Roberts, former worshipful
master of the lodge, and the one
who presided over the supposed
body of Dr. Lightle last May,
from all the rights and privileges
of Masonry.
Roberts had suggested to those
in charge of his prosecution that
it.was his desire to be indefinite
ly suspended, pending the result
of his several trials in the courts,
but as he was not present last
night to make any suggestions,
the lodge went into the trial,
which was merely a formal mat
ter. The worshipful master,
John Marsh, appointed Col. R.
W. Crisp to prosecute and M. E.
Vincent to defend Roberts.
The case against Dr. Lightle
was postponed until January 16,
1905. Dr.' Lightle is attempting
to make no defense, but his case
before the lodge may not be dis
posed of for several weeks.
ROBERTS BUSY ON DEFENSE.
John V. Roberts’ alleged ef
forts to ruin the character of Wal
ter Gregory, the principal prose
cuting witness in the Roberts
TJghtle grave robbery and in
surance swindle charges, were to
be aired in Justice A. H. Steb
bins’ court at Little Rock Wed
nesday. 1
It was expected that a day
would be consumed in making up
the jury, and though the number
of witnesses was small a verdict
c >uld hardly be returned before
Friday. Roberts will be repre
s mted by Hon. F. M. Fulk of
t hat city, Judge M. M. Stuckey
o c Newport, Hon. Sam J. Crab
tree of Beebe and probably Hon.
Frank Pace of Harrison. Prose
cuting Attorney Rhoten will look
o it for the state’s interests and;
J istice A. H. Stebbins will pre
si Je over the trial.
IbEGAPHONE ADVERTISING. !
Advertising to be effective'
m ist be modern, and if there is,
any house represented by a:
s desman in this territory which
is using more progressive meth
ods of pushing its business than
Cheek & Neal of Nashville,
Tenn,, the Independent will cer
tainly give them a few lines of
gntis advertising, for ’tis the
ne .vspaper’s business to ever
c > amend and exploit push and
p gress.
iS. M. Gooch, representing th
fa nous Porto Rico coffee sold by
thi? house, has been traveling
ov rland through most of this,
an 1 surrounding counties giving;
aw ly free packages of this coffee.'
But this is not all. He uses a
me japhone to advan; age in echo-;
ing from hill and dale, upland j
and lowland, the wonderful mer
its of his brand of coffee. In'
thi s work he has been ably as
sist id by Maury Stephens, who
can put up a spiel even on a
rai y day when his customer has
thv blues that never fails to land
an order.
A id while these trips have
be*'u novel and even enjoyable,
the/ have been profitable as well
for t he several thousand packages <
gi\ t naway have brought rich ri- ;
tu i and Porto Rico is fast '
sup lanting some of the older t
bi ds. «

THANKSGIVING SERVICE, j
There is to be a Thanksgiving
service at the Presbyterian
church on Thursday, 24th inst.
at 11 a. m.
Let us all with one accord,
gladly lay down our work and ;
for one hour give thanks to God
in grateful worship in His house. |
As a proper preparation, and onej
that will be helpful to himself'
and others, let each one, during
the intervening time, count the
blessings for which he should
feel impelled to go to God’s
house and make most grateful
acknowledgments.
There will be reading from
God’s word, prayer, brief papers
from several of our citizens, in
terspersed with music appropri
ate. R. P>. Willis, Pastor.
“HUMAN HEARTS.”
Strong, stirring dramatic sit
uations, thrilling climaxes, a
love story of absorbing interest,
amusing, natural and unforced
comedy scenes, allied with a plot
that can be followed by every
body, are the really component
parts of a successful melodrama.
Add to the above a wealth of
scenic splendor, new and intri
cate mechanical devices and a
company of superior excellence
and the reason for the universal
success of “Human Hearts” is
found.
“Human Hearts” is possibly
the most successful and merito
rious melodrama on the stage to
day and it will be shown to our
play-goers on Tuesday, Novem
ber 25.

Plainly Felt* and
Sometimes Very
Painful.
If your pulse is too strong, and your
heart throbs so that you can feel tha
force of the heart-beat against your

exercise, heart strain, and the condition
Indicates serious heart trouble. You
should act at once.

Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure, a remedy
that will strengthen the nerves and
muscles of the heart, and restore them
to their normal condition.

"My heart bothered me so that I
could feel every pulsation. Could only
»on my left side. Doctors told me
I had one-ilfth enlargement of the
heart. I had ail the usual symptoms of
heart trouble. I took about 15 or 20
bottles of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and am
completely cured. I have had no symp
tom of heart disease for two years, and
am attending to my business affairs,
which I could not do before.”—
