To Beautify Masonic Horae.
Mr. L. F. Mulford, the expert
j landscape gardener out of the
Department of Agriculture,
! Washington City, will arrive in
Batesville Friday evening from
Kansas City, where he has been
attending the National Associa
tion of Park Superintendents,
says the Guard. He comes here
at the request of the Board of
Trustees of the Masonic Or
phan’s Home and School for the
purpose of undertaking the work
of beautifying the grounds
around the Home.
Everyone knows who has seen
the location of the Masonic
Home that in natural advantag
es it is unsurpassed. It is now
proposed to add what nature has
not done, by a judicious expendi
ture of money in terracing and
beautifying the grounds sur
rounding the home. And when
the board decided to do this
they decided that they would un
dertake it on the most advanced
lines and do it right and to this
end they requested Senator
Clark to see if he could not om
tain a man out of the Govern
ment Service whoste qualifica
tions would be unquestioned,and
this he has succeeded in doing.
Run Excursion From Augustaj.
The editor of the Augusts
Free-Press was a guest on an
excursion down White river
aboard the Steamer “Choctaw,”
Capt.Huff in command last Sun
day afternoon, says that paper.
Nearly one hundred persons
went on the excursion. The
boat left the landing here about
two o’clock and went down the
river about 20 miles, returning
between 6 and 7 o’clock. No ac
cidents occurred and there was
no dancing allowed. John Short
who managed the excursion par
ty, said before leaving that no
thing should occur to offend any
one. The Fairview band enter
tained the excursionists with ex
cellent music.
Broke Evangelist’s Rib.
During a recent revival at Be
na a well known business man,
in an excess of religious fervor,
rushed up and hugged the evan
gelist, John B. Culpepper. The
evangelist winced, but made no
complaint. After the meeting
closed he consulted a physician,
who discovered that one of Mr.
Culpepper’s ribs had been frac
tured by the embrace. — Searcy

HOLY ROLLERS
STIR SECTION
Homes Blighted, Scoffers In
creased And Mora! Atmos
phere Lowered.
Jonesboro, Aug. 11.—People
from near Lake City report a
new sect in that locality, known
as the “Holy Rollers” which
have stirred the community with
their peculiar religious prac
. tices, which it is claimed is a
burlesque on religion and a reg
ular monkey show to those who
attend the service held by them,
j The following editorial taken
from the Baptist Builder, ex
plains in part how they sprang
as a religious sect and some of
their methods of worship:
“Reports indicate that the peo
ple known as Holy Rollers are
creating some disturbance in
different parts of the country.
We first became acquainted with
this novel sect and had occasion
to observe some of its opera
tions, when a pastor in Oregon
some years ago. The movement
appears to have originated on i
the Pacific coast—a non-de- j
script negro preacher of Port-:
land, Oregon, was, we believe,
th first to herald it in the sec
tion where we lived. It is an
offspring or development of j
what used to be known in this
country as the Holiness or Sanc
tification craze. In addition to
perfect sanctification or sinless
perfection, the adherents of this
new cult claim to be able to heal
the sick, cast out devils, raise
the dead, and speak with un
known tongues. They manage
sometimes to convince each oth
er for a time of their absolute
sinlessness, but stupid outsiders
refuse to see any evidence that
their claim is true. If the sense
less gibberish one hears at their
meetings can, by any accommo
I dation of speech, be called
t speaking in unknown tongues
! they can make good their claims
in this respect. And if the cast
ing out of devils can be con
strued as meaning the same
thing as “raising the devil” in a
community, they can do that,
too. But as for healing the sick
and raising the dead, reliable ev
dence is wanting that they have
ever done anything of the kind.
“They succeed, no doubt, in
leading off some well-meaning
people of the over-credulous
strong emotional type. The
rank and file are usually men
and women of doubtful sanity,
susceptible to emotional intoxi
cation and easily controlled by a ;
stronger willed leader. Sombre
argument is wasted on them. In
Oregon many of the poor dupes
were adjudged insane and sent
to the asylum. The leaders are,
we believe, in most cases utterly
corrupt — conscious scoundrels
who are adepts in the art of
leading the weak astray. One
of the leaders named Crefield.
served a term in the penitentia
ry after conviction on the charge
of criminal relation writh certain
of his female followers. The
same man was afterwards shot
down like a dog in the streets of
Seattle, Washington, by a young
man whose sister he had ruined.
If other leaders are less noto
rious than Crefield, we are per
suaded that the most of them
are not much better. There is.
at least, abundant room for sus
picion in every case. Parents
and husbands owe it to them
selves and their families to pro
tect their wives and daughters
[ from the snares of gross animal
ism masquerading in the gart
of superior sanctity.
“This Holy Roller fad, like
many another, will thrive in a
community as long as there is
combustible' material enough
within reach to keep it going.
Sooner, or later, however, like a
pestilence, leave its unmistak
able marks behind. Homes bro
ken up and lives blighted, the
cause of religion lowered and
scoffers multiplied—all this and
much more will tell the sad tale.
And then many will express
wonder as has been done a
thousand times before, at the
impudence of the devil, the
shameless degradation of his an
gels and the easy gullibility of
our poor humanity.”
Arkansas Deer Donated.
Assistant Forest Ranger Jay
L. B. Taylor recently shipped
from Sylamore a buck deer to
the Wichita National Forest, a
government game preserve at
Cache, Gkla. Mr. Frank Rush,
game warden in. charge, states
that the deer arrived in good
condition, and that it will be
kept in small enclosure of about
5 acres, with plenty of green
grass and running water, for a
fpw rlavs until the ill effect the
shipment may have had upon it
has had an opportunity to mani
fest itself. Later the deer will
be allowed to run at will in a pas
ture of 8000 acres which is fenc
ed with woven wire about 90
inches high, and where there are
about 40 other deer, 30 buffa
loes, 6 elks, 8 antelopes.
This young buck was found
by Assistant Forest Ranger Jen
nings D. McLeod early last w7in
ter in the woods where it had
been lost from its mother. He
carried it to his headquarters
where he cared for it until the
present time. To his great de
light and that of his friends, the
animal became a great pet and
was a splendid subject for a stu
^dyofits species. Its growth,
! however, was so very rapid that
1 because of its great size, its caie
became a burden, in that it con
stantly jumped fences and mo
lested fields of neighboring far
mers. Steps were then taken to
have the deer properly cared for
and arrangements were then
made to have it shipped to the
Wichita Game Preserve.
On behalf of the government,
Mr. Rush extends his sincere
thanks to the citizens ot Araan
sas and is highly delighted to se
cure this big deer, since he con
siders it a very valuable acqui
sition, as it means new blood to
the herd.
Mr. Bush has been engaged in
this kind of work for a great
many years and has been very
successful in his breeding of
game on the Wichita National
Forest—Ozark Times.
No Negro Foreman.
0. I. Hubert, city alderman,
who is head of the street and al
ley committee and has given
much of his time to looking af
ter the street work, thus dis
pensing with the cost of a fore
man, states that no negro fore
man is in charge of white pris
oners.
Mr. Hubert directs the work
himself and is public spirited
enough to give this valuable ser
vice to the city. No guards are
employed and the prisoners,
whether white or are
shackled to keep run
ning away.
Mayor Boyce and
council were elected
of political affiliatio ,
progressive and representative
citizens, who had the welfare of
Newport at heart and their ad
ministration of office has been
very successful and meets with
the endorsement of a large ma
jority of the people.
Notice.
The Palace Jewelry Store calls
the attention of the public to the'
fact that the Morning Herald is
in error in its contest advertise
ments in stating they have on
display in our window watches,
bracelets, lockets, chains and \
diamond rings.
These goods were never pur-!
chased but only talked of and
when we asked them for the
cash to pay for what they had !
asked they failed to pay and ,
stated they did not consider
they had bought the goods. We ;
give notice to all contestants!
; that we will not be responsible j
for goods claimed to have been 1
purchased from this store.

Warring Over Separation.
Batesville, Aug. 11.—The In
dependence County Court,which
has been in session here since
Monday, is the center of interest “
here today, as there are three
important matters before the 4
court for determination. Two
school districts of Oil Trough
township are warring over a di
vision of the territory, and a ma
jority of the citizenship of the
township is in attendance. A pe
tition for the creation of a new
township to be formed from
parts of Ruddell township,White.
River township and Magness
township, is meeting with bitter
opposition, and the -result is
awaited with much interest. A
radical change in the public
roads of Washingcon township
is another matter that has
brought probably 50 witnesses
from that township, and it is
not thought these matters wrill
be finally determined before the
middle of next wTeek.
