llbscribers-whic there are some that
will fall short there are otnars that VIII
do much better
How do you find it thus far:
1.-THE movement starts off better than
| expected it would to begin with. Many
are voluntarily calling and requesting
permission to subscribe to the fund, and
subscriptions are beginning to arrive by
mail We have one from Delaware tC-
day and one from Connecticut These
people, as a rule. send the form Of uote
we have of so many payments OF S1,Cl
per month and accompany i with the
cash payment of S1.O0. Some of
them use blanks they have re-
ceived and others send dol
lar, the first payment, and request
that the subscription note be sent them
to sign. One man copied the note, taken
from a newspaper. on his typewriter. anu
wrote us that he was friedman, and
said there are 500 other Frenchmen
in my city who will do likewise by :he
first of the coming year. | was ni1re
impressed probably than by anything
else, the other day, on going out INTO
the reception room, by seeing a young
German. hardly twenty-one years OF age,
should say, sitting down at deSh HI
ing out one of the notes. lie was a
stranger to us all and had come n
alone. When he had filled the note out
| saw him cross the room TO our TEN
porary cashier. young lacy, and hand
her the note and the first payment of
one dollar, and without having uttered
more than a dozen words he left the
room. He returned in a moment and
asked if the names on subscription notes
were printed He was answered that
they were not, and would III no way be
made public
Might you not print them after a
victory in 1902 / inquired.
THAT would be a matter to consider"
replied the General Manager of the com
mittee. after all danger from publicity
is over there might be a demand such as
would induce the committee to permit
the list to be given to the public"

UNNECESSARY ALARM.
The Fire Boys Respond Only to Be
 Ridlcuied and Laughed At.

Monday night shortly after twelve o'clock the entire city was aroused by the blowing of whistles, ringing of bells and firing of guns. It was an exact duplicate of the noise made the nlght Mir Pryor's store was destroyed by fire, and everyone expected to find Il serious confiagration under headway.
 Those who rushed down town clad in half their wearing apparel found that fue had burned out at Hotel Main.
 The fire boys who respond ed with all possible speed, hoping that by their efforts they might save tbe property of some unfortunate citizen of our town, were little displeased at being called out before there was any real danger, but glad that there was no serious fire under headway. They would have returned to their homes satisfied had it not been for thought less, if not senseless crowd, which, in it's ignorance or lack of appreciation, thought it was the proper time to ridi- cule and make sport of the fire boys because they had responded to the call of duty and found they were not need ed. This ridicule made the boys fight ing mad and resulted in the arrest of one of their number, Pete Vincent, for using profane language. While it is anything but pleasant to be laughed and booted at because they performed their duty, the boys should take into consideration the element that is re sponsibe for it and rememb Der that the better class of citizens of Mena are Tn sympathy with them and fully appre- ciate their efforts.
