SCHOOL NOTES

One month of our public school has
passed, and everything is moving ON
smoothly like single piece of machine
cry without friction or conflict. All of
our classes are now organized and tha
pupils are getting down to good solid
work.
In taking charge of the school I find
it we'll graded, we'll disciplined and in
excellent condition every way, making
it very pleasant for me in taking up
the work. 1t is we'll to note that what
ever success the school has had here
tofore, has been due, not only to the
work of efficient teachers and untiring
efforts of the board of directors, but
operation of the patrons. In order
that this harmony my continue, please
give the teachers all the help you can
in carrying out the rules and regula-
tons of the school. TO this end, please
furnish all the excuses required, even
! though it not be convenient for you to-
do so. Each teacher is required by
law to keep carefully a record of the
attendance of every pupil in his or her
charge, and when one is absent or
tardy, he must present written excuse
from his parents. BY this means, We
are enabled to keep in touch with each
pupil, and parents are also assured
that their children, instead of loiter-
ing on the streets, are under the super
vision of the teachers. Do not keep
your children at home unless it is alb
solutely necessary. We can do them
no good unless they are in school.
Only give US your help, and we shall
strive to see that your expectations
are met with good school.

Principal.

Arkansas Grand Lodge.

The Masonic Grand Lodge is In
session this week. A number of inn
portant issues are to be brought be-
fore the Grand Lodge Chief among
them is the proposition to lease the
Masonic Temple here and build a new
one. AT the last session of the Grand
Lodge a year ago the Board of Con-
troll was instructed to look into the
matter and ascertain what might be
done in the way of leasing the temple
for ninety-nine years and erecting a
new and more modern temple. An
other important matter is the erection
of an orphans home. A special COM
mittee will report to the Grand Lodge
on this matter, and will recommend
that an orphans home to cost not less
than $4,000 be erected, the site for
the home to be left, of course, to the
Grand Lodge. 1t is thought, however,
that Little Rock will doubtless get the
home.

Bulletin Issued.
dashed OF

Agricultural Commissioner Guy B.
Tucker has issued bulletin descrip-
tive of Arkansas According to the
report of the commissioner it appears
that the most valuable granite forma-
tons are in Pulaski county within
three miles of Little Rock.
Mr.. Tucker says Arkansas
contains more varieties of stone than
any similar area on the globe, apd
all of superior quality. Fourche noun
tain in Pulaski county, is a mass OF
blue and gray granite. Typical gran
lite also appears in Saline county. The
blue granite, known as Pulaskite, OF
Fourche mountain, has been subjected
to every test and in every instance
proved to be superior to that of any
other in the world. This blue granite
withstands a higher pressure than
any of the well-known GRANTEES of the
country. It's low absorption of water
is greatly in it's favor for building
purposes, while its qualities on the
whole rank it above all other known
GRANTEES. 1t is fine grained, even in
texture, and contains very little mica
and horn blende. 1t is adapted for
building and paving purposes, and for
monument work. A portion of the
streets of Little Rock. Memphis, Tenn.
and Louisville, KY, are paved with it.
Among the buildings which have been
constructed of the Fourche mountait
granite may be mentioned the Dallas
county court house of Dallas, Tex, the
First Methodist church of Memphis,
Tenn, the Pulaski court house at Lit
tie Rock, the Roman Catholic cathe-
dral at Little Rock, and many others.
The Arkansas state capitol is partially
constructed of Fourche mountain gran

tearing the burning garments from

A Simple Remedy.

Every little while we read in
the papers that someone has run
a rusty nail in his foot or some
other portion of the body and
locklaw resulted therefrom and
the patient died. If every per-
son was aware of a perfect remedy
for such wounds and would apply
it, then such reports would cease.
The remedy is simple, always at
hand, can be applied by anyone,
what is better. it is lnfallible. 1t
is simply to smoke the wound or
or any wound that is bruised or
infiamed with a wooden cloth.
Twenty minutes in the smoke
will take the pain out of the worst
case of inflammation arising from
such wound. People may sneer
at this remedy as much as they
please, but when they are afflicted
with such wounds, let them try 1t.
A test will not hurt any one, be-
sides, it costs nothing.
