First Christian Revival Ends Easter Sunday Weather Was Bad
The two weeks revhal servces at the
First Christian church came to a close
Sunday with two forceful sermons by
the pastor, T. H. Mathieson There were
three conversions the closing day of the
meeting, making a total of nine for the
two weeks. Mr. Mathieson preached
' from the subject. “A Vision of His
.‘•j-'Face," Sunday morning -* “
■ Sunday night his sub,
into the Night.” for which he took his
text from John 13:30; And it was
Sight.*' His sermon dealt with the be-
trayal of Christ and was one of the
most forceful appeals he delivered dur-
ing the two weeks.
Both preaching hours Sunday were
attended by crowds that packed the
meeting bouse. S. W. Hutton, who led
the song services during the meeting,
returned to Fort Worth early Monday
morning.

JURY GIVES 7-YEAR
SENTENCE IN ALEC
CARPENTER'S CASE
If you like good cane syrup, we have
Crockett & Weil's—the best syrup ever
brought to Denton. Turner Brothers.
“We the jury find* the defendant, Er-
nest Carpenter alias Alex Carpenter,
guilty and assess his punishment at con-
finement for seven years in the State
penitentiary.” Signed, **L. R. Coleman,
Foreman Jury.”
So read the vedlct announced by
the jury in the Carpenter case Saturday
night late, finding the defendant guilty
of shooting W. O. Widner, June 11, 1015,
and to which each juror nodded assent
to Judge Spencer's question, “So say
you all, gentlemen."
It was 1055 o’clock Saturday night
when Judge Spencer read the verdict
that closed the longest case of the Feb-
ruary term of the Sixteenth District
Court and closed it just a few minutes
over an hour before it had extended into
the second week. Attaches of the court
and attorneys in the case had given up
hope of the jury reaching an agreement
of any kind Saturday night and all had
gone home. About 10:30 o’clock the
jury rapped on the door of its room
and awoke Deputy Sheriff Nick Akin
from where he was sleeping in a chair
just outside the door. Judge Spencer
was called over the telephone as was
F. F. Hill of the defense. Attorneys for
the state were also called from bed but
they stated they would not come down
for the verdict. An uncle of the de-
fendant was reached by telephone and
went ta call the defendant.
It was only a few minutes until
Judge Spencer, with bis coat pulled up
close to his ne<»k and minus a dress
shirt, arrived from his hotel. F. F. Hill
reached the court room a very few min-
utes later and then the uncle of the de-
fendant came. It was about ten minutes
before the defendant arrived.
Carpenter was told to have a seat in-
side the railing of the court room and
just eight hours after the jury had filed
out of the court room to decide the
case it came back in. Carpenter stretch-
ed his feet under the table at which he
was seated and yawned as the jury en-
tered. Judge Spencer. Sheriff Gallagher.
Deputy Akin, F. F. Hill, Carpenter and
his uncle and a press representative
were the only ones in the room as the
jury filed in and the verdict was read.
Upon the reading of the verdict Mr.
Hill askeA if it was necessary to file a
motion for a new trial at this time or if
he could wait until some time the next
week. Judge Spencer said he could wait
until the later date when he would re-
turn here from Gainesville to close the
February term of the court.
As early as 8 o’clock Saturday night
the jury stood 11 for conviction and one
for acquittal, it is said.
The members of the jury before which
the case was tried were:
W. M. Dyche, Aubrey: H. F. McCor-
mick, Hebron; L. R. Coleman, Justin;
C. H. Caddell, Aubrey; 'A. L. Harpool,
Hebron: Gray Harris, Pilot Point: J. A.
Smith, Aubrey: G. H. Riddle, Parvin: J.
H. Barns, Denton; G. M Brown, Pon-
der; H. D. Tisdell, Mustang; D. T. Hod-

Secretary F. M. Reeves of the Cham-
ber of Commerce has received notice
from the general passengers agents *of
the Texas and Pacific and the M. K. <£
T. railroads that the rate first set—20
per cent reduction each way—will stand
for the North Texas Teachers’ associa-
tion meeting here the last of this week.
It was asked by the Chamber of Com-
merce that the usual convention rate
of one and one-third fare be allowed
for the meeting, but the letters stated
that these reductions were made only
for state meetings or where the attend-
ance is expected to be from 500 to 1000.
The rates to be allowed are in line with
those usually allowed, the letters said,
where the attendance is about 300 as
expected here,

Dr. R. M. Harkey of the A. & M. ex-
tension department will talk here to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock on-how
to build a sweet potato house for the
saving of potatoes. The address, to be
driven at the court house, is a part of
the food production and conservation
campaign now being waged thruout the
United States as a part of the prepared-
ness plans, and an attendance of all
who are interested is urged.
’ “This county could make hundreds
of thousands of bushels of sweet pota-
toes in the world every year,” said Dr.
F. J. Craddock Monday, “but the saving
of thr crop has been the question. Dr.
Harkey has a plan whereby the crop
can be saved at a minimum of expense,
and it is a matter of vital concern to
Denton county right now."

The committee appointed by the Di-
rectors of the Young Men's Business
League Friday announces that it is
ready to receive applications from tfrise
who wish to join the local military
training companies. It is proposed to
form one or more companies of about
fifty members each who, will be drill-
ed in military tactics by competent
local drill masters. AU the details have
not yet Been worked out and it may be
that the time of drilling, etc., will’not
he deeded on until a company has been
recruired. It is thought probable, how-
ever, the drill work will be set for
one or two nights per week.
"Sime seem to be opposed to drilling,"
teid a member of the committee Mon-
day. "on the ground that if they are
drilled they mighLbe the first called
out for the army.*This proposed com-
pany, however, will have no connec-
tion whatever with the armv. It is to
be organized, managed and drilled sole-
ly by local men, with a double purpose
—first the physical development of
those taking part and, second, to instill
a knowledge of military drills so that if
the men are called to the army their
knowledge of the rudiments of drilling
would be of much help and" give them
advantage nf raw recruits in the drilling
in the army."
Several already have signified their
intention of beginning fhe drills, and
the committee announced .Monday that
any who wish to jo?n will notify any
of the committeemen, who are as fol-
lows: Paul Bird, Charles Alexander, Lod
Robertson, Clyde Godwin and Fred Ray-
zor.
We can supply you with the latest in

Four wagons were started to work
early Monday morning in hauling away
the rubbish gathered up by the citizens
.Wp1?. Phone

the ground as rapidly as possible.
’ For the past several days Mayor Gary
and others interested have been urging
the people of the city to co-operate with
the municipal authorities in the clean-
up and a trip over town Sunday Showed,
by the great numbers of sacks and bar-
rels of rubbish at the front the yards,
that the mOve is meeting with a ready
response. The bity is hauling the trash
away free and hoped by this method to
assist greatly in putting all premises in
a more sanitary condition.

thought will take two or three days. It

continue until all rubbish gathered up
