NEWARK'S WONDERFUL REVIVAL
Great Meeting Has Resulted irK Scores of Conversions and 30
 Additions to Church

The revival being conducted at the Methodist church by Revs- Dye, Taylor and Jernigan has been great meeting in many respects, and is perhaps the most wonderful revival ever held in Newark. There has been scores of conversions. Pastor Jernigan says this is the first timo in life, and ministry of 30 years, that he has ever been run overs by the sweep and power of a meet ing until he could not keep an ac- curate count of the conversions.
 Thirty-five have given their names for membership in the Methodist church and four for the Baptist church.
 Pastor Jernigan has manifested the broadest spirit of true Chris tian fellowship toward the converts joining any church they wish, pro- posing to take the names of any and all applicants for membership in the Baptist and Christian churches and turn them over to the pastors of these churches.
 Rev. Jernigan has been ably as- sisted by Rev. John H. Dye of Searcy and Rev. T. J. Taylor of Tuckerman, both of whom have preached able and strong sermons and worked liked heroes.
 The town and country for miles around has been stirred as never before. Lack of room has been against the meeting from the first, and is an object lesson as to how much we need big shed 80 or 100 feet square. But despite this handicap, much and lasting good has been accomplished. In addition to the strengthening of the several churches, many people have been' awakened to a realization of the great responsibilities resting upon them as citizens and heads of families.
 The meeting will continue at least until Sunday night, but no further announcements have been made.

FAMILY REUNION AND CELEBRATION
Relatives and. Friends Hold Hap- py Reunion at the Home of
 R. C. Jennings

o1 all Gne many ways or Colo- brating the glorious Fourth of July, there is none from which more good solid pleasure and en- .Joyment is derived than comes with reunion of members of a family and intimate friends. Such a pleasant event occurred at the farm home of Mir. and Mrs. R. c. Gennings Thursday July 4th, when 66 invited guests assembled to feast and make merry in honor of Mrs. Genning's brother, John H. Tuggle and his estimable wife, the only sister of Mrs. J. K. Tray IS, whom they had not seen in twenty one years. The guests were jolly lot and enjoyed them selves, talking pleasantly of the present and long ago, their joy being frightened in the forenoon by the fragrance which came from the many we'll filled baskets-a gentle reminder of the grand feast of which they were soon to par take-and in the afternoon by that somewhat painful yet pleasant sen- sation of fully supplied inward want, a feeling of ecstasy that ex- ceeded the forenoon s anticipations inasmuch as the goodly piece of bird (and trimmings in the stom- ach is always worth whole one in the pot. Down in pleasant shady grove near the spring, the dinner was spread and about 1 o'clock the attacking party march ed from painful ambush, and after thanks were returned by w. R. Rice, attacked the helpless victuals on every side. The guests were relatives and friends of the family. The immediate relatives were:
 w. J. Gehnings and his family, the only brother of R. c. Gem ings; w. H. Gennings and family, son of R. c. Gennings; Mrs. Geo. Johnson and Mrs. T. l.. Sueberth and families, daughters of R. c. Jennings; John H. Tuggle and wife, of Oklahoma, brother of Mrs. R. c. Gennings.
 The other relatives and friends of long ago were: Mrs. Mary Martin and daughter, Miss Mattie; Ike Martin and family; Hubbard Black and family; Jas. E. Travis and faimly; Ed Travis and wife; Dave Reeves and family; w. K. Rice, wife and mother: Dr. H. w. Vaughan, Grandma Riddle, Mrs. Florence Holcombe, Miss Maude Tuggle, Mrs. Lula Dugger and children, Miss Mary Waits, John Gibson and wife, Miss Morgan Tuggle, Mrs. Vannie Carpenter and children, Miss Cora Mustain of Newport, Mrs. J. H. McDoniel, James McDoniel, l.. c. Dug ger, A. G. Dugger, A. A. Coving- ton and wife.
 It was a happy reunion, yeta sad one in many respects, for the years they come and go, and raven locks have been tinged with silver cray; fair smooth brows have 7 been fvrrowed by the lines of care and sorrow, many loved ones and friends have long since passed away, and who can say that ere we meet again. how many who were present and enjoyed the day to- gether will have taken their last view of this earth and gained a bright glimpse of the unfading clories of that better world where reunions shall be and endure for ever.

Grief Kills an Elephant

Gladstone, one of the biggest ele- plants in captivity, valued by circus which visited this city at $10,O00, died near here from grief. Late last year Gladstone's mate, Ruby, went insane, and had to be taken fro mthe circus train to the woods near Greensburg, Ind, and shot to death.
 Gladstone missed his wife and grieved so hard over his loss that he went to fasting. This began in September, 1906. The circus physicians constructed a powerful hypoderrnic, the size of a workman s hand bellows, and injected nourshment from time to time.
 Then Gladstone began to refuse wa ter, a main feature of an elephont s bin of fare. The circus train was stopped near here and vain attempt was made to save the big elephant s life. The elephant when it died was d shadow of it's former self f.-Bellefontaine, Ohio, dispatch to New York World.

PROTECT PEARL FISHERIES
Maiden Lane Dealers Start Movement
 to Save Mussels

Pearl dealers of the Maiden Lane dis the western pearl fisheries from destruc- tion threatened because there is now no restriction on the fishermen who are taking from the rivers tons of mussels from which only a few pearls are ob- tained.
 1t is proposed to restock some of the rivers, eastern and western, from which the mussels have been exterminated. A petition was sent to Washington re gently asking for an investigation of present conditions affecting the mussels in the western rivers, and the feasi- bility of establishing hatcheries in which the fish may be propagated, as in the case of various kinds of food fish.
 |. The men in the movement have re- ceived assurances that report on this subject will be presented after an in- vestigation of the present fisheries is made. The inquiry is already under way, the federal commissioners having started in launch to make an inspec- zion along the Mississippi, Wabash and White rivers. The dealers also hope to obtain by federal or state laws, or both, restriction on the activity of the pearl fishers, so as to protect the mussels from what is termed promiscu- ous slaughter.
 The dealers agree that, although l. 800 or 2,000 are looking for pearls every day in the upper Mississippi and Wa bash rivers, now the most promising fishing grounds, yet less number of rough pearls are being received in New York than any preceding year.
 The fishermen prefer to sell mussel shells to the pearl button factories, anu many fine pearls are destroyed in the process of heating the mussels to get them out of the shells.-Washingt Herald.
