TI M. EVIDENCE; I’AltDON ED
Little Rock, Nov. 2.—Because the
evidence upon which lie was convicted
was almost wholly circumstantial, the
governor has pardoned Ed Lowry of
Cnrlaml county, who had been sen
tenced to one year imprisonment on a
charge of manufacturing liquor. No
witnesses were produced to give di
rect testimony as to the cotnmission
of the offense. The governor consid
ered that the explanations offered by
the defendant and his witnesses were
reasonable and consistent with ltis
innocence. Lowrey is a young man
with a wife and infant children. He
hi d never before been charged with
any offense, and his reputation for
honesty and sobriety had heretofore
been above reproach.
GOV Sl’CCTMBS TO WOUNDS
RECEIVED WITH SHOT GUN
Holly Turtle. 15 years old, who ha? j
been at the Greeson Sanitarium this j
week under medical attention for a
wound received when a shot gun acci- j
dentally exploded, tearing away part
of his right hip, died yesterday after- •
noon at 2tf:l0 o’clock. He is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. George Turtle who
live below Rosston. Interment was
at the cemetery near his home this
morning at 11 o'clock.
The boy had started out hunting
and came to a deserted school build
ing where there were a number of
wasp nests, one of which he was try
ing to dislodge with the butt of his
shot gun. The jar of the gun caused
it to tire, and the entire load of squir
rel shot struck him on the right hip,
tearing away a large portion.

Gen. Haig hits been a regular,
church att< ndant all his life and I
though in the midst of the most try
ing hours of the great German drive
last spring he had time to stop and
attend religious services. Chaplain
.las. M. Black of Fdenburg. writes his
brother, Prof. Hugh Black of New
York, and says: "Two Sundays ago
—the dark Sunday of the German
push I was at general headquarters
taking the services. Sir Douglas
Haig was there, anxious, no doubt,
but ' er\ quiet. He came up and
thanked me afterwards for the com
fort 1 had given him, and he remark- j
ed. ‘Remember the battle is not ours,
but God’s.' He is a sincerely relig
ious man whose faith is a big thing
to him. 1 was glad to have been
there at such a time.”

There aren’t anv bovs
nowadays in the sense
of fellows who haven’t
begun to take things
seriously. The boys are
all men in spirit; doing
men’s work; many are
holding down the jobs
of the men now fight
ing in France.
They’re learning too.
that it’s economy to
pay enough to get good
stuff—clothes or any
thing else.
We can help any
of you young men
who are doing the
work of the fellows
gone to war; we
can see that you
get clothes that
save.
Hart Schaftner & Marx make that kind and we sell them be
cause they are that kind; the styles are live ones. But they use no
unnecessary cloth nor make the clothes cost any more. Ask us
to show you the “Prep” styles.
