WOMANS CHRISTIAN
TEMPERANCE UNION
Thursday, Dec. 22nd is the 37th
anniversary of that wonderful
meeting which inspired that mar
velous uprising known as the
Woman’s Crusade, and which
will continue its holy warfare
until the last vestige oflthe liquor
business is torn asunder, root
and branch.
Let the W. C. T. U. of Pres
cott—every member-“hie”
away on this afternoon at 3:00
o’clock and recount some of the
struggles of those early days.
The meeting will be held with
Mrs. John M. Pittman. Let us
have a full meeting.
Our history is wonderful, our
progress more so and it is by re
hearsing these that ofttimes in
spires us to greater endeavor.
We would like every member
of the club, who seems to have
bean enjoying ancient history as
much, to be present and study
with us the history of a faith
that has made martyrs and he
roes of what the world terms
“the weaker sex.”
Don’t disappoint us, for our
heart is athrill with the holy ex
perience of those sacred days.
So let us not forsake the assem
bling of ourselves together and
have our minds turn backward
for one hour. President.
DANIEUSMTY
OF MANSLAUGHTER
Clarksville. Dec. 16 —After an
all-night session the jury in the
case of the state against Orville
R. Daniels for the killing A Dr.
J. W. Mitchell December 11,1906,
returned as its verdict at 8:5l>
this morning that Daniel was
guilty of voluntary manslaughter
and his sentence was fixed at two
years in the state penitentary.
The defense then moved for a
new trial, which was overrulled.
but an application for an appeal
to the Supreme Court was grant
'd and Daniels was released on
$2,000 bond with 60 days’ time i;:
.vhich to perfect his appeal.
Whether an appeal will bi
taken is unknown; Capt. A S.
vlcKennon, on of the attorney.'
for the defense, stated that ii
probadly would.
Shortly after the verdict wat
rendered, friends of Daniels be
^an to circulate a petition t<
Governor Donaghey for Daniels’
Pardon, While the case has
attracted much attention,
through the fact that fcoth tht
defendant and the deceased wen
well known throughout tin
state, and the courtroom has
been crowded to its limit since
the trial began Monday, the cast
has been devoid of sensational
ism, which, it was thought,
would characterize it. The Ga
zette erred in a detailed concern
ing the testimony of Dr. E. W.
Smith of Little Rock and of Mrs.
Daniel’s sister. Their testimony
was that Daniels told them the
story of the killing at different
times and not, as was reported,
at the same time. The state
ment that the testimony of both
was ruled out is erroneous.
THANKS!
Our hearts go out in gratitude
to you all who have helped us in
so many ways during my sick
ness since July. Our prayer and
faith is that He who rewards the >
least ministry to one of his little j
ones will abundantly bless you;
and jrours. J. P. Caliicott j
and Wife.
NEW FIRM FOR
OUR LITTLE CITY

general manager. This company
will occupy the Clark property on
West Main street next door to
The Picayune office. This com
pany will mn a general store,
such as dry goods, groceries,
feed and farm supplies of every

business men who will carry
everything kept in a first-class
store. They are experienced
business men and there will be
no doubt of the success of the
firm. The store will be ready
for business the first of the year.
When your feet are wet and cold,
and your body chilled through and
through from exposure, take a big
dose of Chamberlain’s CouSh Remedy,
bathe your feet in hot water before
going to bed, and you are almost cer

salo by all dealers.

progressive farmers in Nevada

mess of ribs last Saturday for
which he has the thanks of the
