A SIGNIFICANT SPEECH

Berlin. June 22-At a meeting OF
the Central Association of German
Manufacturers. embracing most OF
the great manufacturing organiza-
tions OF the country. held at Nurem-
burg. General Secretary Herr Bueck,
referring to trade arrangements with
the United States, said the associa-
tion supported temporary extension
of treaty duties to the United States
because the German industry at this
moment was mot sufficiently prepar-
ed for a tariff war with the United
States. Continuance of the situation
created by the temporary arrange
ment, however, he said would be ir-
reconcilable with the economic in
terests or dignity of the German en-
pire. The general secretary felt it
necessary, therefore, to warn the
German industry to prepare in time
for tariff which would be unavoid-
able If the United States thinks it
can continue treating goods unfairly.

With a stage setting of natural
scenery the well known play OF I'm

at the Chautauqaa park last night

Mother earth was used as stage
while the trees OF the park were uti
lized as scenery Barring the first

capable manner. Mr. Hotchkiss

Wednesday afternoon, Mrs, Baum
gartner noticed party of men pass
ing her residence and, at the same
time. rain being falling, she noticed
that a severe hail was just begin

ed them to the poarch. When she
saw that the hail was becoming Sc

woman asked the men to come into
the kitchen. The men told her that
they were going into the country to
work with thresher and that the
thresher had broke down in the vicin-

Mrs. Baumgartner hearing the hail
beating through the windows in the
second story of the house, started to
go upstairs and the men volunteered
to render such assistance as she

OBSER VATIONS
Made Around the City
BY OBSERVER

y
completing a handsome nine-room
dwelling on the south side of the
old stage road, near the home Of
Mrs. M. Bursey.
A little south of this is the neat
and pretty home of @. p. Allen,
which was completed last winter.
@. M. Wiseman, who has just
moved in from Missouri, has pur-
chased the adjoining lot west Of
Mr.. Allen, and will soon commence
the erection of a dwelling.
Near by and a little south is the
new two-story twelye-room dwell
ing of E. Tippett. Although not
fully completed, Mr.. Tippett has
moved in to give possession to Eu-
gene WHY, who bought the Bate
man place south of Mr.. Tippett.
Work is going right along on the
dwelling of Mr.. Tippett, which, as
present is a delightful summer
home, but it will be completed and
made snug before winter.
Since moving in Mr.. WHY has
been making some desirable i'm
provements, and he now has a very
conveniently arranged home.
On the same road which leads to
the railway station is the home of
W. p. Saunders, which was built
in the early spring. This is better
known as the Alsobrook place.
Tom J. Dodd is enclosing his
handsome new dwelling with a
circular concrete fence, which
gives the place the appearance Of
a city home. Mr.. Dodd returned
last week from trip to Bienville,
La. He disposed of his property
interests there, and says he is sat
home now to stay for all his life
time" Mr.. Dodd has beautiful
home, the best built dwelling in
this section of country, he is good
citizen, and we are pleased that he
will be a fixture i'll our midst.
The eastern part of town is COM
ing to the front. When the new
addition to his dwelling has been
completed, r. G. Hudson will have
one of the prettiest and most de-
sirable homes in Camden.
The new dwelling of Harris Ell.
Rogers, which is built on the en-
inence east of court square, adds
greatly to the appearance of that
portion of our town.
p. Melton, who recently pur-
chased the RUSSELL property, in
tends to replace the old buildings
with a handsome modern dwelling,
Mrs. Della Williams is also pre-
pairing to build handsome dwell
ing on the site of the old Var
brough home, north of the dwell
ing she built few months ago.
Both of these sites are beautiful
locations, and adorned with nice
dwellings, equality Hill'' will be a
very attractive part of the town.
Clerk and Master A. G.. McDan-
iel is having a handsome concrete
fence made at his home place, and
it will add considerably to its APP
pearance. Others are talking of
adopting the concrete fence.
DR.. j. /. Bradley of Sugar Tree
has bought the Marshall farm just
east of town, closing the deal last
week. The doctor has also leased
property in town, and will move to
Camden as soon as he can arrange
his affairs at Sugar Tree.
The fastest building project of
public nature is house of wor-
ship for the Christian Church,
which is being planned. Let it
come. There is always room for
more churches in any community.

next week, should read the COM
munication by [. N. Bridges, sec
rotary Of the Benton County Far
mers' Institute, which we publish
in another column.
The closing out sale of the firm
of Bateman d Finley is attracting
great deal of attention. This is
easily accounted for, however. 1t
is the intention of Messrs. Bate
man and Finley to go out of bust
ness. They had bought their fall
and winter goods before deciding
to quit. They have the goods and
must dispose Of them by the LIST of
January. In order to do this ev-
erything is marked down and they
are "going like hot cakes"
The library Of Benton Seminary
was the beneficiary of twenty-five
volumes of choice reference books
this week, donated by Mayor S. e.
Peeler. The faculty certainly APP
preciate the gift, which is valua-
BILE one. Perhaps there are other
citizens and patrons of the school
who have historical and other ref
erence books or standards works
which they would be glad to con-
tribute to the school library. Do
SO while you have it on your mind
and thus aid worthy cause.
The protracted meeting at the
Methodist Church closed with the
services Tuesday night after being
in progress over week. Rev. Mr..
Stem preached some very able
sermons, the attendance was good
and the very best of attention was
given the services. There were
some bright professions and a re-
vival of the christian spirit and
fellowship of the church. The
singing was good, and it added to
the success and interest of the SER
vices. Rev. Mr.. Stem returned to
his home at Paris on Wednesday.
He made many friends during his
stay here by his strong sermons
and splendid work in the church.
