Farmer SWindled.

w D. Young, Saline county farm CT, who took two bales of cotton to Little Rock, was the victim of one of the most audacious swindles that eyer came under the notice of the officers. When Young reached the business section of the city where the cotton buyers are located he was approached by a stranger, who sam pied and agreed to purchase the cot ton. The swindler got on the wagon with Young and directed him to drive to cotton shed. Here the cot ton. was unloaded and weighed, and while Young stood by the stranger ne gotiated the sale to a dealer and was handed check for the amount. The bunco-steerer then told Young to drive to a bank and wait for him, and that he would be there in few min utes and pay him his money. Of course the swindler did not put in an appearance, but instead secured the money on the check given him for the cotton and skipped out

From then on, Pratt street be- came the center of the fire, which burned block after block of business structures on that thoroughfare from Charles street eastward to the falls.

State Sunday School Work.


 Clifford P Boles of Fayetteville. president of the Arkansas State Sun day School Association, has issued an address to the officers and members of the Sunday schools of Arkansas, in which he says:
 The Arkansas State Sunday School Association is one of the sixty-seven organizations that constitute the great International Sunday School Association of North America.
 And while it is not known exactly how many members are enrolled in the Sunday schools of Arkansas, yet a conservative estimate places that number at 100000, in about 2.500 Sunday schools.
 The organization, as such, is CO., operative, and inter-denominational truly an organization of the denomi- nations, by the denominations and for the denominations of the church. and has for it's object the promotion of all that is helpful and good in Sunday school work.
 The state of Arkansas, with ter ritory of over 53,000 square miles, in climate that is almost unsurpassed; with mineral and agricultural re- sources practically unlimited; with population of something like mil lion and a half of people, is and will
 
 commercial point of view, and much honor and credit is due to all those whose efforts are being put forth tor the advancement of the material wei fare of the state. Yet there remains for the churches a work that is of greater importance than any material interest can be.
 The Sunday school. considered as the Bible studying and Bible teach ing service of the church, or the church at work, as il is sometimes called, assumes in a large degree the responsibility of the development and training of our moral and spiritual interests How best can this be done, is the question that should receive the most earnest consideration of all church and Sunday school workers in the state.
 Of the seYenty-fiye counties in the state possibly not more than twenty five have real, live county Sunday school associations, and without or ganizaticn it is impossible to have unity of purpose and concert of ac- tipa.
 Organization for Evang gelization. the motto of the International Asso- citation. should be accepted as tte motto of the Arkansas association. A county association in every county in the state; a township association Tn every voting precinct and Sunday school in every school house. is the ideal which we should earnestly strive to attain.
 The progress made in recent years is certainly encouraging. The con vention held at Fort Smith in 1901 seems to have opened a new era of prosperity in Sunday school work Tn the state. Since then there has been a field secretary at work much of he time, and a number of counties have been organized and others aroused and revived.
 With MT w Fred Long as field secretary. giving his whole time to the work and the establishment of the Arkansas Sunday School Herald. pub lshed in the interest of the Sunday school cause in the state, and gen eral revival of interest all over the state, we confidently hope that the work will be advanced as it has never been before"
