Miss Genie Norman is at home after pleasant visit to her sister, Mrs. Henry Barnes in Clarendon.
 -Rey. Sid. H. Babcock was over from Forrest City Tuesday and preach ed at the Methodist church at night. His theme was "PauI's conception of Christ. The sermon was master piece in the gospel of the majesty Of Christ and of full salvation through his atorement.
 "A revival is in progress at the Methodist church, beginning Sunday. Tho pastor. Rev. H. B. Cox, did the preaching except Tuesday night-un- til Thursday evening, when Rev. w.. M. McIitosh, of Iuka Miss arrived. Considering tie unfavorable weather the attendance has been good The sermons and services have all been well worth attending helpful to christi fans and full of gospel of salvation to others. Rev. Mcintosh has had won derlul success in holding meetings, wherever he has gone, and if the christi ians unite with him in his efforts, with sincere prayers and earnest personal work. Brinkley, too. may have divine visitation, quickening into spiritual life many who are now living only for the present world.

The Cache River Levee.

The Cache river levee would be of incalculable benefit to Woodruff and Monroe counties and the State of Ark ansas. There could be no apprcpra- ton from which the State would de- rive as great revenue as the necessary amount to construct leeve that would reclaim the territory lying between Gregory's point and Clarendon. approxi- mately, along the valley of Cache. This territory embraces some of the finest flaming land in the State-a rich allu- vial soil of surpassing fertility.
 The object Of all legislation should be to secure justice and equity; and 10 achieve that unit. it becomes necessary frequently to regulate conflicting claims between citizens of a State or county.
 Any law should commend itself 10 the public that provide. for the best interest of a majority of the people to whom it applies. and can never be construed as class legislation.
 ! A law providing for the construction of Is mile levee on the east bank of White River. beginning and termina- ting at certain designated points. would inure to the best interest of nea'ly sH, if not quite all. the people whose interests such law would involve. hence. the adoption os such measure would rot only be feasible but would fall easily within the domain Of justice.
 No one should demand the pSssaTcI of law ccnfering special fsvors on class cf individuals at the expense Of infringing upon the right, cf the ma- -jority.
 There is what might be called a sort of negative, CT unwrit'en lar "a law that will not permit the doing of a thing that ought to be ccn-A lat is as foreign 10 equity as some Icstive laws. l do not mean the "ihou shalt, not kind but the "ihege is not kind.
 Some contend that the proposed Cache river levec would inundate val uable interests cn the Prairie county side Of White river. If that be true, the justice of such lsw would depend upon the extent of dam sg- that woa.d accrue to persons on that side.
 Yielding to the demanSs os lis e: stitucncy. a certain G unty Judge recommended an aparoF ration for the construction oi bridge across cer tain stream. BiA Jones objected that the enterprise would effect his private privileges. as that point on the stream was noted crossing fer deer. The bridge was built. Bill Jones private privilege was seriously (p) effected. but the public good was achieved.

MRS CARRY 4. NATION Tie Great Saloon Smash ing Weman Visits
 BTinkIey
Lectured here last Friday
 night

Without doubt the greatest crush and crowd of people that ever assem- bled in Brinkley to hear a public speaker was that which greeted Mrs. Garry A. Nation at the Methodist Church on Friday evening last.
 The coming of the saloon sInasher was surprise. It was known that she was in Little Rock, and great crowds were reported 10 have heard her but there was no thought of her coming to Brinkley until Friday morning when Rev. H. B. Cox of the Methodist Church announced that he had received telephone message from Mrs. Nation asking that she might lecture here Friday night. The Opera House was not to be obtained and it was announced that she would lecture at the church.
 There was no advertising Of ire lecture out; none was needed other than the street report.
 The ARcus man. like many others of the great throng, went early to get a seat and it was fortunate thing too for many went away unable to get standing room. We had expected to see in the person of Mrs. Garry A. Nation, large, tall. masculine, firm looking woman. but as she walked down the aisle and into the pulpit, these expectations were dispelled. Twas motherly. kind faced old lady, instead, and we sat wondering if this could really be the woman who had been made famous by welding the l hatchet on the Kansas saloons.
 After prayer by visiting clergy ! man there was a hymn, after which Mrs. Nation began her lecture.
 THE PLAIN FACTS
 Mrs Nation began her lecture by saying that "the only commentary o5 Carry Nation is Garry Nation herself and with this she began to explain why her hatchet had been raised against ] the illegal bliud tiger joints of Kansas, Said that when she raised her hatche' against the monster it was raised against every crime on earth.
 She said she was as much surprised at her life as any one else was. She felt that she was devinely direted 10 do what she had done; that while # was the aim of the brewer. the saloon and joint keeper to have her appear redic- ulous and crazy crank. that they were not to be blamed for 1t for she had put many a one of the dirty joints out of business. and was assisting in arousIng manhood of the nation to their duty in disposing of the drink evil
 Mrs. Nation announced herself as a PRoAIeITIoNIST, not temperance woman, for said she "thc saloon keep CT believes in temperance, even the bar keeper must be temperance man or else he can't hold his job; In not running with that gang and don't want anything they want; I'm p.r-o-h-i-b- i-t-i-o-n-i-s-t-. loyal defender of the homes of America.
