SLfX WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1036 NUMBER Parnell Stanley To Face Murder Charge Today Parnell Stanley will go on been called and much time may bti Cotton Subsidy Miss Arlene Pickett's Applications Are 4 if Be Published in April Mow Available, 1 today, Wednesday, for the murder of Jim Clark, a cousin, who was killed tn a dense thicket near Devers, January 18, when the two were hunting- wild hogs for market, Stanley is alleged by officials to have killed Clark, and presented their case in a habeas corpus hearing sufficient to bind Stanley over to trial under a $3.000 bond. He was later indicted by the grand jury, members of which were present when the body of the deceased was exhumed from a watery grave February 4 and at which time a doctor announced that the head and nose of the deceased had been fractured. A later x-ray and autop-; contradicted this statement, and will, in all probability, be upheld in the courts due to fact that x-ray pictures showed no fractures what-so-ever.

Since that time the defense at torneys have contended that there is no case against Stanley, but iouinty and district officials have not tee moved their charges and there is every indication that the trial will proceed this morning. A special Venire of 100 men have taken in selecting the twelve jurors. No motive for the crime was set up by district attorney M- Briggs in the habeas corpus hearing but he methodically and ably pointed out that the blood stains on the clothing that Jim Clark wove did not indicate that the body was handled in the manner minute- Continued on Ba-k Pago Rev.

Geo. Provost, pastor of the i Trinity Episcopal church in Bay town, will conduct lenten services i ni the local church Thursday, March 5, at 7:30 p. m. All mem- bers of the church are urged to at tend and hear the message that Rev. Provost bring.

The fob lowing is taken from the Episco pa! Church manual of Daily Bible Readings: Who comforteth us in all our I tribulation, that we may be able comfort them which are in any trouble, bj the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God for as the sufferings of Christ aDound, in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. When God wanted to reveal great love for us He did it through suffering -the Cross, When Christ was suffering physically and mental He thought about God and as- His calmness and dignity through suffering was possible because He was thinking about His Father and praying for other people. It is when we think about ourselves too much that we lose control, Some people become very selfish through suffering and expect ev- cry body to wait on then? Christ shows us how to suffer with dignity, calmness, and patience -always upon God. vV hen we ask Him in faith He gives us the power to face suffering. He may not take it away, but He shows us how to surrender and use it.

Suffering sometimes is the wav to I a great victory. It was so with the Cross, for soon after Good Friday comes Easter. to 0 Governor Allred Recalls Glory Of Past To Many One hundred years after F.
