STUDENTS CLUB.
Regular Bi-Weekly Tleeting Held in

Plan of Work.
Plan of Work

The regular bi-weekly meeting of
the students club was held in Miss
Alcott's music studio last Saturday
afternoon, and the CLUB began the
study of the Thirty Years War. The
meeting was we'll attended and the
work proved very interesting. The
Thirty Years War is probably one of
the most interesting periods in Ger
man history, and while the club
found it necessary to devote two
meetings to it's study, the ground was
very we'll covered by discussion of
the principal points by Mrs. G, E.
. Game, a paper on "The Causes and
Occasions of the War;" by Mrs.
Fischer, and reading from Schil-
ler's Piccolomini by Mrs. James
Stewart. The paper by Mrs. Fischer
WAS especially meritorious, and there
was evidence of careful study and
preparation.
A new pla2 of work was adopted
by the club which will make the
study more general, and necessitate
careful preparation on each distinct
lesson by every member of the club.
A leader will be appointed for each
successive meeting, whose duty it
will be to prepare list of questions
on the subject for study, and every
member of the club will be expected
to make sufficient preparation to be
ready to answer any of the questions
whenever they are called upon by the
leader,In this way each members will
have to be as we'll prepared as an
other. Hereafter members will re-
spond to the roll call by giving some
current event, which is another rule
adopted by the club.
The next regular meeting will be
held in Miss Alcott's studio one week
from today, and they will complete
the study of the Thirty Years War.

Rev. Richardson Thinks the Village

Council are Sinking Their Duty.
Mr.. Editor:
The council at it's last meeting re-
fered tie petition concerning brothels
to the County Attorney. Now that
matter was, and is the business Of the
village council. Their assurance to
lend the County Attorney aid in this
matter is ridiculous subterfuge to
escape their plain and bounden duty.
Let the proper village officers go and
set those people out in the street if
they wish to aid in this matter. The
fact is that the brothels existed, and
the saloons do run on Sunday, and
the slot machines did run until COM
PEELED by the county attorney to do
their duty. All were and are under
the tacit protection of the village
council. The mayor has ample police
power to prevent such criminal law
lessness as exists in our village, if
he had the disposition to do so.

Card of Thanks.

To the parties who SO nobly re-
sponded to duty's call in Kidding the
country of the dangerous elephants
lately turned loose, we wish to ex-
rress our hardest thanks, although
in case of real and substantial danger
to the commonwealth, we believe
these same brave soldiers of destruc-
ton would be the last to respond.
We trust that the satisfaction secured
in marring the elephants was equal
to the energy wasted.

The sad intelligence reached us
last Wednesday of the accidental
death of Miss Mammie Holland,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Holland, which occurred at the home
her uncle John Brown. in the town
of Stevens We have been unable to
learn the full particulars, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Holland were both out of the
house at the time of the accident,
which occurred at the Holland home.
It seems that the little girl went to
the stove and was pouring some
water from the kettle, when one of
her sleeves caught on fire, and before
anyone could come to her assistance,
her clothing was nearl y all burned
from her body. When found by Mrs.
Holland her daughter was lying near
| the stove IN an unconscious state,

Mr.. Holland was Summoned, and
hitching up his team, he started for
Chokio with the little girl to procure
medical aid, thinking it would be too
late should they wait for physician
to come to the home. However,
when he reached the home of his
brother-in-law, they requested that
he leave her and proceed to Chokio
alone. He did SO, and returned in a
short time with the physician. They
did everything to restore her and ease
the suffering, but medical aid seemed
of no avail, and the child died in a
short time.
The family has the sympathy of
everyone in this untimely bereave-
ment.

Mariana to Memphis.

J. Ernest Jarratt of Jarratt & Son,
manufacturers Of staves, heading and
doors, etc, at Mariana, Ark,
writes to the Manufacturers Record
as follows:
The engineering corps of the St.
Louis & Iron Mouncain Railroad is
pushing the survey for the proposed
line from Mem phis to Mariana. The
Memphis, Arkansas & Texas Rail-
road Company made survey through
this same section several years ago,
located the lice and secured the
right of way. The feasibility of the
route makes it almost certain that
one or the other of the companies
will build the road, and perhaps at
an early date.
ut is reported that railroad will
be built from Brinkley to Mariana.
Preliminary survey has been made.
A final survey to establish the line
is to be made very soon. The pro-
jected road will open up splendid
farming country and pass through "a
well-tim bered region. Connection at
Brinkley will be made with the
Choctaw and the Cotton Belt rail-
roads.
The line from Mariana to Mem
phis will be about fifty miles long,
and that from Mariana to Brinkley,
in a direction almost opposite to the
other, would be about twenty-five
miles long.

Getting Scared.

The smallpox situation here has
created feeling of uneasiness with
the Jonesboro Enterprise, and in its
edition OF yesterday it warns the city
ficials to take some immediate
action.
In commenting upon the situation
the Enterprise says ia part:
"This city is now free from the
disease and eur late experience with
the terrible epidemic is warning to
US. People from Paragould are COM
ing to Jonesboro daily aud people
from here are going there and return
ing, thus placing Jonesboro again at
the mercy of the plague. We don't
want it here and it behooves the board
of health to act promptly in the mat
ter and give US the protection we
should have"

The smallpox situation is very en-

of the board of health believes that
the city is practically out of danger
and will remain SO if the proper pre-

case since Mayor Hester issued his
proclamation.

of the board of health furnished the

"No more new cases today. All
parties are doing well. The Carr

Maj. Menzies has just returned
from Hot Springs, Ark, and tells
the indianapolis Sentinel that the
feeling against the war in the Philip
pines is intense. Basing prediction
upon what he learned in Arkansas,
the major looks for clean sweep of
the country by the democracy. The
only bad feature of the prediction is.
the major fails to tell which section
OF his party is going to wear the
blue ribbon when the race is over.

TOBACCO RAISING.
Enormous Receipts of the Weed At
MayfieId in Single Day.

MdrnSlQ IN a SinEIe Lay.
One of the largest tobacco markets
in the world is at May field, KY,
city of seven thousand population,
situated in Graves county, in the
western part of the state-in the
central part of what is known as
Jacksons Purchase. 1t is difficult
for the average Greene county
farmer, who is unfamiliar with to.
bacco interests, to possess a correct
conception OF the actual amount of
the receipts. For instance, last Fri
day one thousand and five hundred
wagons, loaded with the weed, were
delivered to the dozens of tobacco
brokers at that place. Immagine
one thousand and five hundred wagon
loads of the newly cured product go-
ing into market in single day,
representing many hundred thousand
pounds.
The Mirror, a newspaper published
at that place, printed the following
item in its current edition:
Nearly 1,500 loads of tobacco
were delivered here Friday. the
largest delivery ever known in the
history of the city. The tobacco was
coming in lively all the week. but
Friday was the banner day. One
firm received over 100000 pounds
that day, and over 500, 900 changed
hands. Twelve counties and two
