ing an ordinance granting franchise to the company at Rog- CTS. and terms would doubtless have been arranged satisfactory all around. but AIr. Owen pro- posed to light the town and locate the plant here. so the Rogers proposition was dropped. There are a number of people here who still maintain that to light the town from the Rogers system would be best. and would afford us more conveniences, as those desiring 1t could also have day current. The matter might still be arranged with the Rogers company. and The News hopes to see the town authorities look into the matter and see what can be done. Springdale needs cleo tric lights and must have them.
 Our Johnson correspondent suggests that the correspondents select some day during Ghaatau- qua and that all come to Spring dale on that day. in order to get better acquainted and have good time generally. The News has been thinking along this line, and We heartily endorse the idea. We would also suggest that at this meeting permanent organization be formed, sand that meetings be held annually. We believe that such an organization will be a source of pleasure to eorrespon- dents of The News and that IL will also prove beneficial to all concerned. \ short program might also be arranged 50 as not to interfere with attendance at the Chautauqua. Our Winslow correspondent might prepare a poem to be read on the occasion, Mulkeepmo could also get ID all interesting paper, as could other correspondents. + the idea meets with the approval of various correspondents and they viii de- eide oil the day which will best suit, the editor will take the fiber " of arranging such a program.

Lock of Hair in Heart of Tree.

RussellYiiIe, May 2s In removing a tree which had fallen across his fence few days ago, ]. D Walker cut into the tree about three feet above the ground and found in the center of it a wooden peg about three inches long and one inch in diameter on the end of which was lock of red halr wrapped in piece of newspaper. The tree was nearly two feet in di. ameter and, as It seemed to have been only six inches n diameter when the peg was inserted, 1t k supposed that It must have been done more than fifty years ago, probably from some expectations motives.

Mote and Comment

The man who has the job Of sprinkling the streets earns his money these days.
 Springdale merchants enjoyed good trade during the month of May, but dld you notice they also did considerable advertising? And that's what'll bring 'em every time. V
 The owner came i'll Saturday and got the initial pin which was advertised in The News last week. It was the property of Mrs. Glass, living north of town. It is very seldom that an ad. in The News fails to bring results.
 The fact that Springdale without water works and cleo tric lights is better than most towns with them, should be no excuse for us not to make an ef- fort to secure these eonveniences Springdale can be made still better town.
 For fear some one may not think of it we will just mention that t you have more strawberry money than you know what to do with after you have paid your grocer, your butcher and your doctor, little contribution on subscription to The News will be appreciated.
 Quite d number of those who accepted our offer to send The News three months on trial like the paper so well that they have ordered their names enrolled as regular subscribers. Others will do likewise. At the price of one dollar d year no one i'll this sec tion should be without The News. If you are not subscriber and receive a sample copy look 1t over and then bring or send i'll your subscription.
 The electric light proposition, so far as Spencer Owen, who was granted franchise some months ago, is concerned, is apparentls too dead to kick. MT. Owen has, so far as The News IS advised, informed no one in Springdale of his reason for dropping the enterprise, but the supposition is that he was un- able to realize on his property in Nebraska and consequently didn't have the money necessary to go ahead with 1t. During his visit in Springdale he impressed every one as being man whose motives were good, and 1t is re pretted that he has seen it to drop the matter in such an un- ceremouius manner. But Spring dale must not cease her efforts to secure electric lights. This is only one more failure to add te the list of several others, and NC have all become hardened to 1t, and it don't hurt near like It Use to. But let us up and at i again. and somebody will event ually be found to take hold of tht enterprise.
 Speaking of electric lights tho probabilities are that Springdalt would have them to day had not MT. Owen, of Nebraska, appear ed on the scene just when he did. The town council was consider
