Frank Dunn of Bird Township,
has a story that he used to tell

prevalent in our penitentiary
and upon the convict farms. It
was of a Missouri horse thief,
who when he would get into
trouble in this state, always
| managed to let the authorities
of the “show me” state know of
, his capture and they would send
| after him- He preferred stripes
in Missouri to life as a convict in
Arkansas. Now the tables seem
to be turned, and the violater of
the laws in Missouri prefers
death in Arkansas to prison at
home.
Build Twelve Miles of Highway.
Little Rock, Aug. 28.—Twelve7
miles of the Little Rock- Hot
Springs- Texarkana highway
were built yesterday by County
Judge George Kelly and 400 cit
izens of Saline county, who
toiled for ten hours in the broil
ing sun to erect the roadway.
Judge Kelly sounded the call
for the building of the road as
soon as he had Governor Hays’
proclamation, and every citizen
in Benton, as well as farmers
from the surrounding country,
came to the scene in all kinds of
conveyances.
They brought shovels, plows,
scrapers and all other road
building material. They went
to work with a will, and the fam
ous “Graveyard Hill” was low
ered a couple of feet, while a
20-foot bridge was erected
across a small stream.
At noon the women of Benton
and the surrounding territory
served lunch to the road work
ers. It is planned to do more
road work in the vicinity of
Benton on September 10 and 24.
E. A. Kingsley, State High
way engineer, attended the
building of the road and was en
thusiastic over the work done by
the road builders.

1 Build New Methodist Church,
j Newark, Aug. 29—The move
; ment for the erection of a hand
j home brick church building by
jtlie Methodist congregation of
j Newark is assuming tangible
form. Blank forms for securing
j subscriptions were drawn up
j Monday and are being circulated
this week by the pastor, Rev. M.
B. Umsted, who stated to a
Journal representative that he
was confident of securing at
least three or four subscriptions
of $1,000 each.
A Journal representative has
made inquiry among a number
of the prominent business men
iof Newark and finds that practi
cally all of them endorse the
j movement for a new church
1 building. A number of them
ihave signified their willingness
to contribute $500 to the build
ing fund.
Pastor Umsted has perhaps
been instrumental in erecting
i more handsome church build
[ ings than any minister in the
| White River Conference. He is
(thoroughly business-like and
i when he takes hold of a building
. . . , % l.
'proposition ne nu »u«-h
'word as failure- The people of
Newark have confidence in his
ability, and The Journal is glad
to see him get behind the build
ing movement with that earn
estness and push that has char
acterized his work in building
houses of worship in so tnany
other towns in the state.

LIMB BROKEN
IN RUNAWAY
Mrs. Sidney Harve> Suffers Se
rious Injun In Accident At
Swift on Thursday.
Mrs. Sidney iiarvty, formerly
(Miss Cecil Moon, was thrown
I from her buggy in a runaway at
Swiiton about 11 o'clock Thurs
day morning, breaking one
j limb at and above the knee- Tin
injury was so serious that Mrs.
Harvey was taken to Little
[Rock on No. b that afternoon
for surgical attention.
Mrs. Harvey was seated in a
buggy and the horse attached
was being watered at a trough
by her husband, who had remov
ed the bit from the animal’s
mouth. Another horse backed
a vehicle into the Harvey horse,
which became frightened and
started to run down the street.
Mr. Harvey clung to the animal's
mane and harness, being drag
ged a considerable distance,
when he was finally thrown oli'.
The horse ram south, along the
railroad track, and turned in be
tween the fence and a tree in
front of the Toler place. As the
buggy came in contact with the
tree, Mrs. Harvey was thrown
several feet into the air, almost
into the branches of the tree,
and fell upon the ground, break
ing one leg in two places.'
Everything was done that
could be to relieve her suffering
and a damper was thrown upon
the big crowd at the picnic as a
result of the accident, which we
hope may prove less serious
than first regarded.
