 The Story.

There is a big difference be- tween the cost of making a first class sewing machine, embodying the best materials and workman ship, and one which is made in the cheapest manner. The buyer of the cheap machine soon pays the difference of price in the constant cost for repairs, to say nothing of it's annoying inefficiency.

SANTA FEE INTERESTED.

The Santa Fe people have had men all through this country looking over the timber and va rious other items that are of in- terest to railroads. They are now pushing rapidly the forty miles from Chanute, Kans., a point on the Santa Fe, to Joplin, Mo-, and it is rumored that as soon as cold weather sets in they will have men and teams doing heavy work in this part of the country. The immense bodies of hardwood timber in North Arkansas offer tempting lure to railroads and manufactories, and the movement of the Santa Fe in this direction is only the beginning of one of the heaviest migratory flights the country has ever yet witnessed.

DANCING UNDER BAN.
Newport Baptist Church Confer ence Adopts Vigorous Reso- lutions on Subject of
 Dancing.

The following resolutions were adopted in the regular confer ence meeting of the Newport Baptist church, Sunday, August z, 1904:
 Whereas, all true Christians in all ages have recognized danc- ing as an evil, and
 Whereas, some of our young members have been decoyed off into this hurtful evil, or at least to be present where and when said evil was carried on, there fore be it
 Resolved, 1. That we regard it as unbecoming in any one in the highest degree to thus de- ceive our young members, invit- ing them to parties or socials where they are intended as dances.
 Resolved, 2. That hereafter we shall expect any of our mem bers thus decoyed away to leave at once when dancing begins.
 Resolved, 3. That hereafter continued presence at such fes- tivities shall be held as a declara- tion of nonfellowship, for which we shall withdraw the hand of fellowship.
 Resolved, 4. That it is the sense of this body that no one who asks a church member to dance, or to go to a dance, or who deceives them into going where there is a dance, is a friend to the church or the mem- Der thus approached, and we warn our young people against all such.'

 ENTIRELY TOO OFTEN.

Forrest City, Aug. 7.-E. H. Harris, postmaster at Madison, who the early part of last week issued money orders to throw at the birds, now is repenting at leisure in the federal prison at Helena.
 The amount of Harris pecula- tions have not been traced fur ther than S680, with several more missing money orders that are not accounted for. Some thin Harris is partially demented. He is about 65 years of age and has been a resident of this county about two years, coming as a tramp printer.

BATESVILLE'S TEST
 OF CITY OWNERSHIP.
Sister City Makes Her Light and Water System Self Paying. An Example for New
 port.

Considering the amount of rev. enue which comes to this city by reason of six licensed saloons, fines and the maximum municipal tax levied, 1t is often a source of inquiry to those who do not read the annual financial statement of the city as to how the money is spent. It is not our purpose herein to give detailed account of same, but only to mention the two largest items of expense. the water and light supply, which cost the city of Newport $700O annually.
 And in connection with this, we would call the attention of our readers to a statement given below, published by the Bates vile Guard. That city owns and operates her water and lighting plant and the revenues from private rentals more than pay for the public service. As the franchises of this city with both electric light and water compa- nies will soon expire, it is well for us to note the success of municipal ownership of these public utilities in a neighboring city.
 STATEMENT OF THE GUARD.
 From the annual report of the superintendent, published last week, it appears that the total receipts of the water and light plant for the year ending June 30 were as follows: For light, $6, 222.79; water, $2, 2,316.57; wir- ing and lamps sold, S913. 76, making a total of $9, ,453. 12. The expenses were: For fuel, fifty cars of coal and sixty and one- half cords of wood, $2,540, 15; freight on coal, $1, ,470.9O; pay roll for labor and incidentals, %, 50, making the total cost for operating the plant $8, ,271.55.
 There was an additional ex- pense of $3,534.28 for supplies and additions to the plant, mak- ing the total expenditures for the year $11, 903.2S.
 The greater part of the ex- penditure for additions and SUD- plies was for the extension of water mains and electric light wires into portions of the city heretofore without both. The water extensions alone cost about $1,750.
 The expense of operating the plant including repairs about equals the receipts. But there is to be taken into account the fact that the plant supplies the city with thirty-three fire plugs, twelve are lights and thirty-eight cfmaller ligSts for the streets crlDed, $50 bya of whfo'esi.f fur CT of the lettar for ''' e'' oi eile char
