Revival to Continue.
The Sunday services at the
Methodist church were well at
tended, large congregations be
ing present at the morning and
evening hours.
Rev. Mr. Sage, who has been
assisting Rev. Mr. Wilford for a
week, is compelled to leave for
his home this evening, in order
to attend the Little Rock con
ference, which meets Wednesday
of this week.
Mr. Sage, while a very young
man, is an earnest speaker and
holds his congregations in close
attention. His voice is highly
cultivated and is one of the best
ever heard here. His friends
made during this visit of a week
who are many, regret very much
to see> him leave.
Rev. Mr. Wilford expects to
continue the revival meeting for
two w7eeks yet and has engaged
a trio of singers from Arcadia,
Mo., who w7ill arrive Wednesday
evening to have charge of the
music.
Cottage prayer services will
be held every afternoon of this
week at 3 o’clock at different
homes in the city.
Track Covered With Rock.
Last Tuesday morning be
tween nine and ten o’clock a
large sand rock, estimated to
weigh 20 tons, broke loose from
near the top of the high bluff
just below town and fell onto
the railroad track, with a result
that something like ten feet of
track was covered and knocked
out of line. The section crew7,
iirna Q + fVio end of
the bluff at the time and they
heard the rock fall, whereupon
Bob Elliott, who had charge of
the crew in the absence of
Foreman Joe Warren, hurried to
the station and reported the sit
uation to headquarters. North
bound passenger train, due here
at 10:50 picked up all the sec
tion men between here and Syla
more to assist in clearing the
track, but by the time of the ar
rival of the train the track had
been cleared by the local section
crew, ably and willingly assisted
by “Uncle Miller” Hays, W. C.
Rodman, E. C. Parsons and Dr.
H. H. Smith, who went down to
play the part of innocent by
standers, but who fell victims of
the pick and shovel in order
that 210 could pass on schedule
time.
The large boulder was a frag

been hanging in a very danger

789, real $4,126.
Swifton Telephone Company,
personal $350, real $300.
Complain of Postal Service.
The patrons of the Pennington
postoffice have been making
strong complaint of the mail
service they now receive and in
fact, all down along the line of
the Bonnerville road, Uncle
Sam’s service is not what should
be accorded the several towns
and sections served.
The fault seems to be partially
with the poor train service and
at Pennington, the compiaini is
directed against the star route
out of Amagon. The Penning
ton public assert that the old
method of handling this mail
should be resumed and the route
should be from Amagon to Pen
nington to Balch, instead of the
present routing.

Spilled (iasoline Causes Blaze.
The restaurant of Lee Carter
at the corner of Beech and First
streets, was the scene of a small
tire about 9:45 o’clock Monday
morning that for awhile threat
ened the frame building.
A young lady was filling the
gasoline tank of the coffee urn
from a glass bottle, when the
bottom of the receptacle fell out.
As the urn had been left lighted,
there was a blaze instantly,
which shot to the ceiling and
soon had the whole interior filled
with flames and smoke.
William Price happened along,
knew the location of a tire hose
that he had installed when run
ning this restaurant, and soon
had the blazing ceiling drenched
with water.
The loss to the owner of the
restaurant was about $20, with
no inusrance, while the loss to
the building is covered by in
surance.
The careless use of gasoline
by people who disregard its in
flammable qualities is the cause
of many fires. Filling gasoline
stoves, urns, etc., while the same
are burning is inviting fire and
probably death or burning to the
party filling the receptacle, and
the most remarkable thing a
bout this fire is that the young
lady who was taking such a risk
should have escaped injury.
See First Aeroplane.
Batesville,’ Nov. 1G.—The
first aeroplane that ever made a
flight over Batesville was the
aeroplane of Fred DeKors,
which was seen here Saturday
aftenoon. DeKors pleased a
large crowd when he went up
about 500 feet and made a grace
ful circle over Hinkle’s field,
about one mile from the city
limits, and over a part of the
city.
DeKors had arranged to give
a flight here the previous after
noon. He had been traveling
with county fairs on a guaran
tee and had no idea of the me
thods necessary to corral the
coin from those who wanted to
see the airship. The conse
quences were that the crowd
stayed about a quarter of a mile
from where he had arranged to
make his flight, and the gate re
ceipts were not sufficient to in
duce him to risk his life. On
yesterday he made that fact
known and about 300 or 400 peo
ple paid an admission fee in or
der to get him to go up.
