and has only been in this coun
try about nineteen months. He
declared the bill was given him
at a drug store in DeSoto, Mo.,
and that it had not been raised
by him. He took it lor a $5 hill
and it is quite sure he did not
know the difference, because
the work of raising the bill was
so cleverly done that it might
have fooled a smarter man than
McRaeman. ;
He was released bv Commis
sioner Parse. And it is likely
that the man who gave him the
bill will be arrested and prose
cuted. Deputy United States
Marshal kept the bill for future
evidence.—Batesville Guard.

Fourth I);i\ of A. M. E. Confer- ;
ence.
The A. Jl. E. Conference clos- ;
ed the third day's session with j
an educational mass meeting
last night.
The educational sermon was i
preached by Rev. B. F. Bragg,
A. If, a young minister of the
Fort Smith District.
The sermon was considered
by many to be one of the best
ever delivered to this conference
on the subject of education.
Bishop W. D. Chapelle, who is
considered to be the foremost
scholar in the A. .M. H. ministry,
took occasion to personally com
pliment Rev. Bragg, and pointed
to him as a model for the young j
negro ministry to pattern alter.
Ret'- J. X. Campbell, I). D., the |
dean of the Theological Depart-!
nent of Shorter College, address
ed the conference on the sub
ject of “Minister Making.” He
delivered a masterly address,
showing that the young man
who enters the ministry today,
must expect nothing but fail
ure, if he does not fit himself in
the schools. Dean Campbell has
a large class of young men in
his department at Shorter.
Dr. 0. L. Moody, president of
Shorter College, delivered the
closing speech. He said: “Shor
ter College stands for a full and
complete training of the negro
youths of Arkansas. I believe
in higher education, but while
T believe in the classics, etc., 1
believe in vocational education—
that education which will give
every boy and every girl a trade,
so that they may have some
thing practical to do when they
come out of college. We want
your sons and daughters. Give
them to us, and we will make of
them good and true Christian cit
izens.
A neat sum of money was con
tributed by the congregation
for education.
Rev. E. C. Foreman, B. D., of
Fort Smith, addressed the con
ference this morning urging the
preachers to do less emotional
preaching, but to come pre
pared and live close to God and
preach a pure gospel seasoned
with good judgment and common
sense. The address was one of
the best that has been delivered
k! w. ---o -
Bishop Chapelle’s wife is act- «
ing as his private secretary. She I
is also selling a book containing
several sermons and addresses
delivered by the Bishop, and a
sketch of his career.
The Woman’s Home and For
eign Missionary Society report
ed upwards of $300 for mis- ‘
sions. Josie St. Clair of Osceola
is the president. They have
planned to collect $500 next
year.
Rev. J. G. Robinson read his
report today—the report show
ing an increase along all lines
and in the “Dollar Money”,
which is the general tax the
Newport charge came within
one dollar of Fort Smith, and
the Fort Smith charge has
nearly twice as many members. !
The next session of the con
ference wil be held at Jones
boro.
Bishop W. D. Chapelle will
preach Sunday morning at 11
o’clock, Rev. R. T. Scoggins, of
Little Rock, will preach at 3

A Case Of Mistaken Identity.
Last week when Governor
Hays came to our city there was
a big crowd present. He ar
rived at Hoxie from Little Rock
on No. 4 at. 3:45, just at the
time No. 103 on the Frisco came
from the west, hence the street
car was too full for utterance.
150 people were packed like sar
dines in all the available space.
After the car started from Hox
ie and had gone about two blocks
' it stopped to take on a lady
passenger. This lady knew that
the governor was on board but
as she had never seen him, did
not know him, and he sat at a j
point v here she could not have
seen him if she had wanted to,
so crowded was the car. Af
ter this lady had crowded her
way into the car and stood for
some time Nate Williams of
Black Rock, who was also on
hoard, dressed in his best bib j
and tucker and a pleasant smile,
arose and gave her his seat.
As she sank into the seat,
ishe said to her seat companion,;
“I found out who the governor |
was without asking; you see,
he is the politest man in the car,
the only man to offer me a seat;
you see, he has been raised
right.”
Since Nate has been dubbed
“Governor” he has loosened the
band on his hat and put strings
in all his buttonholes.—Walnut
Ridge Blade.___
The Friendship of Trevathan.
The I’atesville postoffice mud
lie has been definitely settled by
lie announcement of Congress
man Oldfield that he will recom
nend Sam 1 teener, an excellent
gentleman and worthy citizen,
for the place. In taking this
Top Mr. Oldfield was forced to
turn down the application of
[Jeorge Trevat hany manager of
the Guard, for the%ame place.
Beyond any question George
Trevathan was the best triend
Congressman Oldfield ever had
in the district. He will never
have another one like him, and
we realize in making this state
ment that never is quite a long
time. From a standpoint or
friendship, George Trevathan
was entitled to Oldfield’s shirt,
and all the balance of his cloth
es. From a standpoint of ser
vices rendered, it is sale to say
that Congerssman Oldfield would
be knockin’ around Batesville
just Bill Oldfield today but for
the unfaltering efforts of Geo.
Trevathan, who wanted the post
office, who needs the salary, and
didn’t get it.—Sharp County Re
cord.
VV. F. Johnson of Liverpool,
England is in the city receiving
a welcome from his Newport
friends. Mr. Johnson spent two
seasons in Newport a fewr years
ago buying cotton for his Liver
pool company.
Mrs. Joe Weaver has been con
fined to her bed since Wednes
day evening, being quite sick.
For a Purpose
Style is like a shadow. You can point your
finger at it, but you can’t put your finger on
it. It doesn’t shout—it whispers. It aims as
much for repression as for expression. A case in
point—
“Barrister” Walking and Businas Boot—$5
Made of ..Black Calf or Russet Leather—roundish,
sloping toe—perforated cap medium arch— low,
square,"solidly planted heel top corners curved off
invisible eyelets—Gothic hooks a boot with that
deceptive plainness which is the quintessence of present
day ‘ ‘smartness.”
