Her desti- nation was Monticello, where she Was billed to deliver an address in fba evening. and after speaking at Warren Wednesday night she will re- ttrn to Pine Bluff at 4:45 Thursday afternoon to speak here at the Y. M 2. \. auditorium Thursday night.
 Mrs. Nation was interviewed on the fraia by Graphic reporter, and after n;nnino to his coat-lapel one of her famous souvenir hatchets, she deliver ed an impromptu lecture to the occu- pants of the coach. She condemned the liou0r traffic in her usual aggress- i've manner. and while some of her statements may not have been accept pFl hv the entire audience. the fear less manner in which she gave utter ance to them brought forth round of applanse.
 She was asked if she had any spe- cial topic to speak on here. She an swered "Nc," but continued:

 Secretary Richardson of the Y. NJ C. A. also had a conference with Mrs. Nation, and made the necessary ar rangements for her use of the assoeia- tion auditorium.
