New Church Here
It is reported on good authority
that members of the religious
sect known as the Nazerines are
contemplating erecting a church
in Davenport in the near future.
Negotiations have already been
begun for a suitable site. This
denomination numbers anion,
it adherents many of the be*i
people of this part of the count.v
and t he people of Dayenport will
be g ad to learn that they are to
establish a place of worship here.
At present there is an organiza-
tion of these people west, of to** n
that meet on alternate Sunda* s
in thw Stone school house and an
organization east, of town at
Oak Grove Both are in charge
of Rev. A. F. Daniels who is
desirous of uniting the.two c >ii
gregations at Davenport and
making his home here.
Another Hearing
Ten in Home
There are now in the retaining
home at Daveoport, seven boys
and three girls. It is the boy
children of which we wish to
speak We have applications
for some of our boys from long
distance homes, two from anoth-
er stae: but we desire to place
these children near by when
even possijle to do so. May we
expect to hear from some good
homes closer by? Call phone ol
Davenport or address the Supt.
For Rural Schools
Sam L. Castleberry is in re-
ceipt of a letter from the chair
man of the state corporation
commission saying that the Fris-
co railroad had been granted a
new hearing before thesurpreme
court on the matter of stopping
the two afternoon fast trains at
Davenport. It will be renvm
bered that the commission order-
ed them to be stopped and that
some time ago the supreme court
sustained the order. The new
hearing of the case accounts for
the fact that they still speed
through town.
Pursuant to a ' all by the Dav
unport Commercial club there
was a mass meeting of farmers
and town people in the Wood
man hall last Sa'urday to d;s
cuss the bill that is before the
legislature to appropriate sum of
money to lie used in assisting in
the building of graded township
schoois throughout the state.
Resolutions endorsing the lull
were adopted and forwarded to
Lincoln c mnty's representaiive-
in the legislature.

wherein a negro preacher, Ed
Gaust, «as accused of shooting
another negro, Alf Earl.
Sam L. Castleberry was
counsil fur the defendant. Gaust
was dismissed on motion of the
prosecution on the grounds that
he was reported to t># a good
citizen and had only snot a man
who seemed to need shooting on
general principals in support ol
which view the preacher testi-
fied to having bought whiskey
of him.
Three negros from whom a
quantity of whiskey had been

the back" for being caught with
more whiskey than they could

TORTURED FOR IS YEARS
by a cure-defying stomache trouble that
baffled doctors, and resisted all remedies he
tried, John W. Modders, of Moddersville
Mich., seemed doomed. He had to sell
his farm and give up work. His neighbor
said, "he can't live much longer." "What-
ever 1 ate distressed me," he wrote, "till
I tried Electric Bitters, which worked such
wonders for me that 1 can now eat things I
could not take for years. Its surely a grand
remedy for stomach trouble." Just as good
for the liver and kidneys. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only 50c It Clark Drug Co.
