The handsome outfit was purchased by the pupils and teachers of the schools of this city as token of esteem and love, and was to have been gwen to MT. Hinemon upon bis departure for Searcy, where he was to have entered upon his duties as President of Galloway College, but Wednesday he resigned and decided to remain Tn Pine Bluff, and naturally. it was the more approp- riate to present it to him for re maining with us.
 Prof. Hinemon was so filled with joy and appreciation that he could hardly respond with thanks. But he managed to tell those present how much he loved Pine Bluff and it's people, especially the school children, and how much he appre- ciated the honor that had been east upon him at that moment. In fact he thought the people were doing too much for him. He assured them, however, that his duties were not completed, but that he would continue to build up the schools and work faithfully in their behalf.
 Prayer by Rev. Caldwell closed the exercises after which the flowers for the graduates were distribu' ed. They were many and of beautiful designs.
 The Senior class officers are as follows:

UNDER a FLYING TRAIN.
Engineer Saw a Baby on the Track

The long train was running south
miles an hour. Mike Cosgrove being at
the throttle and John Thornton, con-
ductor in charge When near Prout 5
Cosgrove noticed a little child playing
in the middle of the track not more
than fifty yards in front Of the train
He blew the whistle and applied the
air brake, but he knew there was no
hope Of stopping the train before str1k-
ing the child. The little fellow paid no
attention to the warning whistle. and
the engineer and fireman shut their
eyes as the engine struck him. When
the train was stopped some distance
beyond. COsgrOve went back to pick
up the chifd's remains. He and the
crew could hardly believe their eyes
when they saw the 2-year-old baby sit
ting in the center OF the track wholly
unframed save two or three little cuts,
one on the forehead and the other on
the back of the head
Engineer Cosgrove recognized the
child as that of John Ponka. He picked
it up and hurried to the POnka resi-
dence near by, and when the child was
restored to its mothers arms and Mrs
Ponka learned of his marvellous escape
from death she tainted This modern
miracle was the absorbing topic for
conversation here today.
