CUTTING CREWS AND WAGES.

There is hardly lumber or manu-
featuring institution of our city, but
what is cutting wages and reducing its
crew. This is found necessary because
of the fact that orders for lumber and
manufactured stock have been counter
manded. Lumber has taken tumble
in price all the way from s40O to $500.
Goodwillie's box factory is closed this
week, but hope to get started again
next Monday.
Several institutions are only working
their factories eight hours, in hopes of
keeping their crews at work.
Many institutions have cut wages
one-third hoping thereby to keep their
factories going
Barker & Stewart are not cutting
down their logging crews but have been
compelled to.cut wages. They are now
paying from s25 90 to S35 90, where they
were paying from $500 to $500.
w. d. Conner Co.. at Stratford, has
cut wages and is paying its men in
script.
The Wright Lumber company, (which
is building an extension of the st. Paul
Ry., out in the town of Hewitt, has re-
duced its crew one-half and wages to
S1.O0 day.
The above are only few instances
where our business men are curtailing.
1t is true that there is hardly logging
camp up north but what has reduced
its crew fully one-half
1t is problem how our laboring
classes are going to exist on hard times
wages and paying about the highest
prices ever known for everything they
have to eat and wear.

MINSTREL ENTERTAINMENT.

The Elks have sent out, statement
to its members as follows: Sat a
regular meeting of Wausau lodge, b.
p. 0. Elks, i. was decided to accept the
proposition of the S. A. Grubbs
Minstrel Syndicate. of Chicago, to pro-
duce the Elks' Big Minsterals at the
Grand Opera house, Thursday evening,
Nov. 2lst. These people come to us
bearing the most fattering commenda-
tions from a large number of sister
lodges, for many of which they have
played their third engagement. They
carry more than S., 900 worth of scenery
costumes, electrical effects, etc. Their
chief success appears to be in their
ability to so conduct the entertainment
and direct the local talent taking part
so as to create great interest and en-
thusiasm."
There is every indication that the
entertainment will be grand success,
and every one should go and enjoy the
evening. The entire share of the Elks'
proceeds will go to st. Mary's hospital.

GRAND JURY REPORT.
Recommendations And Other Things Re-
ported BY The Late Grand Jury.

To the Hon, John W. Meeks,
Judge of the 10th Judicial Circuit
Of the State of Arkansas:
We, the Grand Jury for the
Southern District Of Sharp coun-
ty, at the August term, 1907, beg
leave to submit the following re-
port:
We have diligently inquired
lnto and investigated all vio-
lations Of law of which we have
had knowledge or received inlor-
mation, and have returned find
ipgs in accordance with the evi-
denoe before US.
We have examined the report
Of the Commissioners Of Accounts
and find from that report that
the road overseers, with some eX-
ceptions, have reported, and
suppose they have done no work
since their last report.
We also find that the Justices
of the Peace have made reports
to the County Court, with some
exceptions, and suppose they
have done no business.
We have visited the County
Poor Farm and find the paupers
in very good hands and reason
ably we'll cared for. The farm is
in bad condition, and is not in
cultivation. The house needs
some repairs before cold weather.
The keeper of the paupers in
forms US that he will need three
bedsteads, three mattresses and
six pairs Of blankets. We rec
ommend that these things be
supplied and the house repaired
at once, or that the farm be sold.
We have examined the County
Jail and find it clean and in as
good condition as is possible for
that building. We believe that
without better light and ventila-
ton it is not fit place to keep
and coniine a human.
We have examined tho Court
House at Evening Shade and find
it in reasonably good condition,
We recommend that the iron
shutters be replaced on the door
of the vault, or that a better one
be bought and put on, as we
believe it requires this to make
the vault lireproof, We also rec
ommend that a commodious
water closet be built either on
the court house lot or Jail lot,
We also find from the report Of
the Commissioners Of Accounts
that G. y. Ritchie, eX-CIerk Of
Sharp county, is due the county
the sum Of S5G0,03, excess Of
salary for the year ending Oct,
81, 1906, for tho settlement Of
which the County Court has
given him further time,
We find from this report that
all the Constabes have &C,
counted for all fines charged to
them, either paid or secured by
good notes.
We find that G, II, Matheny,
Sheriff Of Sharp county, is due
the county Sl2,20, uncollected,
but secured,
We find that W, O, Smith
Sheriff and Collector Of SharI
county, has paid all fund,
charged to him except some
fines uncolected, but secured,
We find that Arthur Sullivan
Clerk of Sharp county, has poic
all county taxes due, and hi
work is neatly done and gen
orally correct,
We find that f. l., Dickerson
Treasurer Of Sharp county, il
due the county S5l0ll, and ",
recommend that he be given unit
