ish convenedin Benton last Friday morn
ing and held two days. session, which
proved both instructive and interesting
to ali present. The program had been
arranged some time previous to the
gathering, and the manner in which it
was carried out showed that the teachers
had spared no pains and devoted consid-
cradle study to the work assigned them.
The meeting was indeed in every sense
of the word genuine success, and from
the moment that DIR. Lassiter, as Mayor
of Benton and in behalf of our citizens,
finished his pithy and well-worded adj
dress and handed over to the President
of the meeting the "keys to the city,
ripple Of laughter passed. over the
gathering and a feeling of good cheer
and kindly interest possessed it. This
spirit lasted throughout the two days,
thanks to everybody present.
The citizens of our town declare that
they were highly entertained by the
visitors, and the teachers speak in nc
doubtful terms of the entertainment
given by the young people OF Benton
Friday night.
The Banner has been furnished witt
such an excellent report of the meeting
that further comment is unnecessary

GOVERNMENT MAY YET BUY

The sale yesterday of the William r
Trlgg shpbuilding company's yards.
plant. machinery and buildings
attracted great deal OF attention.
When sold in lump the highest bid
was $4,000. and this was made BY II.
G. Lloyd, president of tho Commercial
Trust Company. OF Philadelphia. This
bid will hardly be accepted by tho court.
however, for the reason that the two sep-
arate bids for the machinery and the
buildings and real estate. aggregate NOR,
than the lump bid.
Mr.. s. NJ. TomlInson. OF tho Frank Sam
uels Company, iron and steed structural
builders. OF Philadelphia, purchased all
OF the machinery In all OF tho buildings
for $10S.0O0. Real estate and buildinga
were sold to Mr.. Lloyd for N75,0 oo, and
the dock was purchased by Mr. J. C,
Brown, OF Brown Brothers &. Co.. bank.

1t can be seen by this that tho lump
bid of $4,000 for the entire plant wa,
short several thousand dollars of the to.
tai amount OF the two bids upon the ma.
chlnery and upon the buildings and real
estate. Each OF the bids Is subject Ia
confirmation BY the court.
The sale was conducted by n. w,
Bowe & Sons real estate agents, OF this
city. a large crowd gathered and Wit
messed the sales In the morning when tha
property was disposed OF In small lots.
The machinery in each building was dis
posed OF first and then the buildings
separa tely were auctioned.
Neither Mr.. Tomlinson or Mr.. Lloyd,
who purchased the machinery and the
buildings and real esnate. would say
what disposition would be made OF the
properties. 1t was possible. said Mr.
Tomlinson. that the government would
take the machinery.
According TO the business men OF the
city the sale price OF the prop.
erty was small. Many are Of
the opinion that the plant was worth
fully 100000. an dthat 1t can be made to
double the price paid for It.
