 Mrs. ". T. Young delivered the address of welcome and Mrs. L. Flickinger tie response.
 Following Mrs. Flickinger's re- sponse was the Voluntary. by Choir, after which Mrs. Mimms, of Little Rock. read the Presidents address. It was a well written pa per and most ably presented by Mrs. Mimms. The address was pre- pared by Mrs. W. c. Ratcliff, the president, of Little Rock, who is considered one of Arkansas bright est women and it is much regretted that she IS unable to attend this meeting on account of illness.
 After a hymn, the Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. ". H. Pemberton, of Little Rock, read her report. She said during the past year the Little Rock Conference has grown in numbers and progress has been made in all the branches of work. Six adult and five juvenile auxilia- ries had been organized.

 The meeting adjourned.

The Fifth Annual convention of the Womans Home Mission Society of the Little Rock Conference, which will remain in session for four days convened at the Main Street Methodist Church in thls city Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 Early Saturday morning delega ties began ponring into the city and all during the day the railways stations were the scenes of animated femin- lty, the ladies thronged and awaited tbe arrival of the.r guests, whom they would then escort to their diff ferent hospitable homes.
 Many of the represen tatiye ladies of Arkansas are in attendance.

Persons whose professional skill would make them competent to do so should examine each applicant, and upon the books of the bureau should appear the statements re garding both the weak and the strong points of the body and mind of the person, together with arecord of his or her preferences concerning nationality, religion, family stand ing, age, stature. learning, occupa- tion, knowledge of household affairs, complexion, features, disposition and financial condition.
 Surely there is nothing gIn such an idea to cause the most refined man or woman shrug of the shoulders. And could we have such bureaus people would register at them and have their charts filled out with no thought whatever that they were doing anything unmanly or unwonanly, and many a wom- an who will no be united with a person who is her inferior, just for the sake of getting married, would ther have opportunity to become acquainted with somebody whose nature would b end with her own.
 For one I believe that, taken as Q whole, marriages made under such intelligent direction would be as tru- ly love matches as the marriages made under the present social ar engagements. Such a plan would al- so be a blessing to a great number of lives and make opportunity for truer expression of woman's nature.

Wild Horse IDjures Two Persons and
 Does Other Damage.

Late Friday afternoon Nr. C.. yoss and family and Mrs. Bettfe Holton almost met death in a run away. They were out driving be- hind a new horse tha5 had been rec commended to Mr. Voss as 4gentle as a lamb, when he took notion to run. The notion gstruck him as be was trotting along Laurel street just south of Sixth avenue. He kicked the buggy and sphn tered the front part. Mr, Yoss advised his wife and children and Mrs. HoltoG to jump. They all did so. Fortu- rately the children escaped uninjur- ed, but Mrs, Xoss' dress cought in a wheei and she was dragged about fifty feet. The wheels also passed over her foot. She was badly skin- ned about the body and face.
 Mrs. Bolton was thrown head first against a eurb-stone, She was rem dered unconscious for several hours, but we are pleased to state that she is resting easier at this writing. Mrs. Bolton was formerly of Hot Springs bat recently accepted a DO sition to teach in the public school here.
 Mr. Voss succeeded in stopping his animal, but not until it had ran several blocks.

SAD INDEED.
Bright Little Genie Talbot Dies
 After Brief Illness.

4ALVA Q A9A 4D4 &AAAEH6s
 Little Genie, the five year old daughter of Mir. Beaurie Talbot, is dead. She died Saturday morning about 10:l5 o'clock, after lingering two days with an attack of appen- dicitis.
 A fathers heart is broken, and a home which was filled with cheerful sunshine is in utter darkness. The death of little Genie causes the com munity to weep. She was a bright, cheerful and friendly child and was fairly worshiped by her widowed father, who found consolation of a dear departed in her face. Almost all of his time was spent with her. Where he went, so did Genie. Her father was devoted to her and when his thoughts went back to former years, he sought andreceived conso- lation in Genie's presence.
 His great loss cannot be realized, but by himself and the sympathy of the Graphic together with the en- tire community goes out to the be- reaved parent and may the Heavenly Father assist him in bearing his terrible loss.
 The funeral will take place from the Main street Methodist church at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Revs. Anderson, Carr and Caldwell will of1ciate.

 New York. April 30.-This week $ letter Is for the great army of people who march under the bannero spin ste1hood. Single blessedness, says somebody. Very well, if you think it is blessed to be single probably you are right, so far as yonr case is concerned. But Nox, says a read CT, "of course, you do not mean that there cannot be other things, which operating in a woman's life, may make marriage a secondary thing with her, do you?s
 can understand how a burning ambition on the part of woman say the ambition to follow 8 profes- sional eareer-may make marriage secondary thing with her. I can also understand how q woman, who, af- ter observing the many cares and the limited opportunity for intellect ual growth in the lives Of some mar ried women, should think it better, on the whole, for her to give Up any thought of marriage, although the desire for such life might not be en- tirely absent in her. l can also un- been courted, hon0rably as she be- lieved, only to be deserted afteryears of attention by her so-called lover, should come to feel that she can trust no man with her heart for life.
 And who has not met the girl who says: I am able to earn a good liv- ing, and, on the whole, prefer to re- main single and have my money 10 use as I please. During the winter have my share of good times, and when summer comes I can go to the seashore, pay my board out of my earnings, be independent out of life. l am better off as 1 am"
 Old-Time Instinct Missing
 To these three classes of people l would say that while I do not en- tirely agree with you, yet, perhaps, you are justified in think as you do when the question is sconsidered from your point of view. There are, how ever, other women who give none of these reasons, but who, when mar riage Is spoken of, toss their heads, curl their lips and ask in naughty accent, "Is marriage the only aim in life?" They speak of it disdainfuIly, as if they were living in an atmos- phere in which such an undesirable thing as marriage is not to be thought of. ID such we would say this letter is not intended for ou. We do not understand you. You dress almost like men. You regard married women as slaves to men, and you lack that old-time instinct of our grandmothers, who believed that to be wife and mother was an honorary position among woman kino. We do not know how to classify you. The biologists call our attention 10 lower forms of lite in the animal kingdom which are not

Currency Reform.
Prom Ii. Aaant. connltuaoa.

Prom The Atlanta Con,fltsnoa.
The New York Journal has plans for
reforming the currency which may not
appeal 70 everyone, and which csrtsin-
ly will not appeal 10 those who believe
In mOnopolies conducted for private
profit. But in commenting on some Of
the criticisms Of those who do not be-
lisvs In its scheme. the Journal asks
question which all the gold organs
put together cannot answer In a way 10
satisfy reason. logic and common sense
without committing themselves 10 a
policy which they denounce az a heresy.
The Journal says: The national
banks issue notes. which are not legal
tender. These notes are excepted every
where at par. because they are payable
In lawful money Of the United States.
which may be either gold. silver. sher.
man notes or greenbacks. and because

The answer Is very simple. There is
no more iatism' or creating some.

than there Il in the decree by which the

Fiatism begins and ends when the gov.

talks about fat money or fiatisn -
