Enjoy Impromptu Recial.
The members of St. Paul’s
church and some of their music
loving friends, enjoyed an unex
pected pleasure Saturday even
ing when Mr. Henry Doughty
Tovey, professor of music of Ar
kansas University at Fayette
ville, who was the guest of Mr.
and Mrs. Gustave Jones for the
evening, gave an impromptu re
cital on the pipe organ. While
his performance w'as tantalizing
ly brief, his selections showed
great taste and musical feeling
and left his audience divided by
enthusiastic appreciation of
what he did and regret that the
very warm weather and the fact
that he had no music with him.
but was playing entirely from
memory, made him disinclined
to attempt a lengthier program.
In his first and third selec
tions he secured beautiful ef
fects and perhaps they reflected
his temperament and skill better
than anything else he played.
His selections, although entirely
impromptu and spontaneous,
were so vastly different that it
showed his command of the or
gan and it is hoped that he will
some day be persuaded to re
turn and let us hear him in a
more extensive program.
Dipping Gains In Favor.
Batesville, June 22—To show
that the prejudice against the
work of eradicating ihe cattle
tick is dying out, it is stated that
at the first dipping engagement
here this year, during the first
week more than 250 head were
dipped. The people voluntarily
brought their cattle to the vat.
It has been a hard battle in this
county, and some men who own
cattle have been violently op
posed to any efforts on the part
of the government to rid them
of the deadly tick. But the pre
judice is on the wane, and before
the year ends there will not be a
man in the county who will op
pose the work.

AGED FATHER TO
START LIFE ANEW
Has Lost His Farm in Supplying
Means For Defense of Hi
Condemned Son.
bine, June 22.—Kant David
soi . father of Odus Davidson,
who is awaiting the death penal
ty in the Berryville jail for the
murder of Miss Ella Barham,
near this place last winter, who
was warned to leave the country
within 20 days by a vigilance
committee which visited his
place some weeks ago. returned
a day or so ago from Oklahoma,
where he has gone to look f -
location. The old man is going
to take his family shortly and
trek to a new country. It's a
broken man that’s goingthough;
an old hill farmer with aching 1
heart and broken in spirit.
He has go v the limit ii. try
ing to save his on from i he gal
lows. Every cent that he has 1
been able to rake and scrape to-.
get her has gone to the lawyer- j
to aid in the legal battle to save i
his boy’s life.
He will be at the old home
place only a few days longer, his
home for years where he raised
his flock and tilled a small moun
tain farm. Gray-haired and
with back bent, aged years in a
few short months, he will de
part for the western prairies to
start life anew, far away from
his present troubles.
A PATHETIC FIGURE.
Kant Davidson is more to be
pitied than censured. In a few
months he has grown from a
middle-aged, alert man into a
'mere shell of his former self. He
tried to raise his boys right and
was a good father. He believes
yet that his boys are good; that
they are guilty of no crime. His
home has been torn to pieces. In
a few hours a quiet home-like
family, living in peace in the
• hills were snatched, without
warning, into a statewide noto
riety. He saw his two boys
charged with an atrocious crime,
dragged from the parental roof
handcuffed and manacled, and
thrown into jail; watched the
process of law and with heart
aching with anguish for his owrn
j flesh and blood, saw the web of
evidence as link after link was
! forged, convict his oldest boy
and heard his death sentence
read. With true parental in
stinct the old gray-haired farm
er refused to believe in the guilt
of his boy. He persisted in his
j innocence witn unaouuung crea
; ulity and every cent he could
raise from his slender means he
put at the disposal of his law
! yers. Every inch of the ground
! was fought hard. The old, gray
i haired man was in consultation
jwith the attorneys day after
1 day, tired and despairing. He
I'was alone in his fight, however,
.for sentiment was against him.
1 A week after the preliminary
hearing at this place Odus Da
vidson was convicted in the
| minds of the people. In a sec
! tion where a few weeks before
the old man had been held in
high esteem, had been popular
and had staunch, true friends,
'he stood alone, a broken man.
Old friends shocked at the bru
tality of the murder, drew away
from him. Gray hairs came
fast, and his figure grew more
bent; his mind was on the sav
ing of his boy.
As a justice of the peace for|
years he had acquired a smatter-|
ing of law and day after day he j
pored over the statutes of man
made laws, trying to find a gap j
left down by the defense; but it;
was like a barrier built of rock
that he could not surmount. The
prosecuting attorney, bent on
the conviction of the guilty par
ty, had welded every link solid. (
Then came the trial and the ver
dict at Harrison. His boy was
pronounced guilty and stood in
the shadow of the gallows. The
%
old man persisted in. his inno- (
:ence. Owing to the fear of mob i
violence the prisoner was hur
ried away from the court room
md was not piesent when the
sentence was* read. The case
was carried to the Supreme1
court and a hard fight was made
on this technicality. Then came
the announcement of the higher
court sustaining the circuit
court'.- verdict and hope was
again smothered, but did not
die. HU lawyer are fighting
for a new hearing. If they fail
they say they will take it to a
higher tribunal and hope still
lingers in his breast. He has
sold the old home place to a
Teras man. The legal battle for
his boy’s life will soon be over.
He sit- and waits, hoping—hop
ing always that there will be a
way, some way to surmount the
difficulty and that hi- boy will
escape the gallows.
