W. C. T. U. Observe Flower
Mission Day.
The Woman’s Christian Tem
perance Union held their regu
lar meeting Wednesday after
noon at the home of Mrs. W. B.
Grant. The subject of study
was the history of the Flower
Mission Day, which is .June 9,
the birthday of Jennie Cassedy,
who though a cripple, and un
able to leave her room, through
the message of beautiful blos
soms brought good cheer to
many sad hearts
The program included Bible
readings about flowers and
their lovliness, a sketch of Jen
nie Cassedy’s life and a delight
ful little romance which wrove
into the sweet story of Mary,
Martha and Lazarus, with their
love for Jesus, thoughts sug
gested by flowers of the Holy
Land. Mrs. Etta R. Kelley, su
perintendent of the W. C. T. U.
Flower Mission, led the meeting.
A report of evangelistic work
done in the name of the Union
was heard. Next there came up
for discussion a request from
the women of the Negro Meth
odist church to the W. C. T. U
for suggestions and help in or
ganizing a temperance union
among the colored people. It
was decided to appoint a date
when representatives from our
union should meet jointly all
those in any of the negro
churches who are interested in
temperance work, and assist
them in organizing.
There was a large attendance,
and the interest manifested was
splendid. The next program
will be based on temperance
work in the Sunday schools,
with Miss Dove Erwin as leader.

After Illegal Fisherman.
Paragould, June 11.—Sheriff
A1 Grooms, accompanied by two
deputies and -J. O. Roberts, dep
uty under State Game Warden
E. V. Visart, spent yesterday on
the St. Francis river east of Par
agould, making raids on the ille
gal fishing paraphernalia used
by the fishermen on that river.
Twenty Illegal nets were cap
tured and desti'oyed, and three
men alleged to have been operat
ing illegal nets were arrested
and will be brought to trial to
morrow.
For several years fishing on
St. Francis river has been de
stroyed on account of the illegal
traps, nets and seines used by
the local fishermen, who ship
the fish to the markets.
Mr. Visart recently came to
Paragould and conferred with
those interested in the enforce
ment of the game and fish laws
and made arrangements to break
up me uiegai name on tne at.
Francis river. He had no trou
ble in securing the co-operation
of the sheriff, and it is believed
the raids made yesterday, which
are to be followed up with other
raids and convictions, will result
in putting the market fishermen
out of business. Mr. Visart will
make an appointment with the
Missouri game warden and have
him come to the Missouri side of
the St. Francis river, and to
gether the men will make a
clean sweep of every illegal net,
trap and seine in the river.
Airships In The Navy.
The advance in the art of fly
ing and the improvements made
in airships during the last few
years have demonstrated that
aeroplanes will play an import
ant part in the warfare of the fu
ture. Our own navy, as well as
the navies of other countries, is
constantly experimenting with
flying machines, and on another
page this week you will find a
very interesting story of the pro
gress made in this direction, en
titled, “Aeroplanes in the Na
vy.” Launching an aeroplane!
from a battleship, heretofore j
luite a problem, is one of the j
hings which have been satisfac
orily solved and is described in (
his article.
