We have no authority to use

will hold it until an occasion
arises for a public subscription.
We will then get written author

ber of the subscribers in regard
to refunding the balance, but all
were opposed to it. We have on
hand several hundred yards of
bunting and some Chinese lan
terns which will be kept in good
order to use on another occasion.

WAS DOCTOR
LIGHTLE MURDERED ?
News reached here Monday of
what points to a hon ible crime
in Searcy. The charred remains
of young Dr. Lightle. who is
well known to many of our peo
ple, were found Monday morn
ing in the ashes of his barn.
The doctor^ wife and baby
were visiting in Little Rock at
the time and he was seen at his
home about midnight. He is
supposed to have run in upon
burglars at the house or barn,
who murdered him and placed
his body upon a stack of wood,
where the flames might destroy
all traces of his body.
His watch and other valuables
had been taken and his remains
were charred beyond recogni
tion. A piece of his scorched
vest could be recognized, and
how he could have been burned
in the barn is inexplicable except
on the theory of murder.
WANT TO CHANGE
LOCATION A MILE.
Yellville, May 22.—A special
term of the county court of Ma
rion has been in session for two
days considering a petition pray
ing the removal of the court
house to North Yellville, a dis
tance of about a mile and a half
from its present location. The
matter has been taken to the
! circuit court, which convenes in
July.
HONORS ARKANSAS.
Miss Helen Gould Manifests Her
Interest and Kindly Feeling
for State by Attending
Arkansas Reception.
_f
v 7
World’s Fair Grounds, May 22.
—Miss IJelen Gould selected Ar
kansas as the only state whose
reception She would honor with
her much desired presence last
Thursday at the St. Louis
World’s Fair.
In conferring this signal dis
tinction on the state, which was
all the more pleasing because it
was done as a simple matter of
course. Miss Gould said to a
press representative: “I have a
peculiarly warm spot in my heart
for Arkansas, because it is the
state towards whose development
my father spent some of the best
years of his life. His first great
railroad venture was made in
Arkansas, and its welfare was
dear to him. It is the only state
reception I shall attend, not even
excepting New York.”
Miss Gould stood for almost
two hours in the receiving line
at the reception given by the
Arkansas Federation of Woman’s
clubs. She is a plump, low
voiced, sweet-faced little woman
apparently under 35. Her gown
at the reception was of some
simple black stuff relieved by a
little white silk and a bunch of
jessamine flowers. Word that
she was in the building flew
from ear to ear like the wind and
even the state commissioners
forgot their dignity to peer at
her over the shoulders of the
club women.
It was easy to get an intro
duction and Miss Gould’s manner
and speech was as free from as
sumption to a small newspaper
woman as it was before presi
dent of the board of lady man
agers.
Both President Francis and
Miss Gould were in the building
at once and the guests of Arkan
sas were sorely tried in the effort
to meet or see simultaneously
the two most notable people in
St. Louis. The state commis
sioners and the officers of the
Arkansas Federation of Woman’s
clubs had great cause to be in
high spirits over the extraordi
nary success of the entertain
ment and the satisfaction was
expressed in the happy welcome
given even to the humblest guest.
GRADING NEARLY
COMPETED.
W. V. Powell, right-of-way
agent, was here Tuesday, Wed
nesday and Thursday, and left
for Yellville. While here he
made arrangements for right
of way for a spur to be con
structed to the large gravel bar
on the White river, from which
the railway company will secure
a large amount of ballast for
their yards and their main line
through the mountains. He said
that the grading of the railway
is practically completed to Auro
ra, and when the heavy .cut on
Oregon Flat and the Omaha tun
nel is completed trains will be
gin operating from Kansas City
to Memphis and New Orleans. —

SCHOOL ELECTIONS.
In accordance with the state
law, school elections were held
Saturday in the several districts
of the county. Dr. J. M. Jones
and W. R. Thompson were re
elected without opposition. Little
interest was manifested, less
than a hundred votes being
polled.

Missouri Fish Commission Dumps
Thirty Thousand Jack Salmon
Into the Black River at
Poplar Bluff.
Friday a private car belonging!
to the Missouri Fish Commission J
came to this city, says the Poplar
Bluff Citizen-Democrat, and
dumped 30,000 young jack sal
mon into Black river. The fish
were very young, of course, some
of them being but newly hatched
out. It is stated that all of
these will have attained a good
size in two years.
This particular kind of game
fish has been found to flourish
admirably in Black river, and it
is a favorite among the sports
men.
The car left over the “Cat”
branch Saturday morning for the
St. Francis river. It has pt pres
ent 15,000,000 eggs in varying
stages of incubation.
SUNDAY IN OUR CHURCHES.
Sunday was an ideal Spring
day, and our churches were all
well attended. At the Presby
terian church the congregations
were large. The service for men
in the afternoon was well attend
ed. One addition to the church
and four children were baptized
during the day.
METHODIST CHURCH.
At the Methodist church the
usual large congregation was
present. Dr. Pope preached a
missionary sermon in the morn
ing. The music in the evening
was well rendered and was a
splendid feature of the service.
Two additions to the church.
