POSTAL RECEIPTS GROWING
Quarter Ending Sunday Shows Substantia
 Increase of Business.

The receipts at the Conway post office for the quarter ending Sum day, June 30, show large increase over the same quarter last year, as we'll as substantial gain for the first half Of the present year. The quarters receipts were SISo3.72, an increase over last year of nearly so per cent, while that for the six months was S37SI.6S, an increase over last year of nearly ten per cent. The receipts were as follows:
 Quarter Ending l9Oo 1907 March SlsSI 9o June 70 l280 24 i893.71
 Postmaster o. J. Owen believes that the receipts this year will amount to S7ooo, which will en- title him to an increase of SIoo per year in his salary. He is also of the opinion that another year will bring the receipts to SSooo, which will make this a postoffice of the second-class and entitle the cit y to free delivery of mail.
 Increasing postoffice receipts are sure index of a city's growth, and the good showing made at this office is only another sign of Conway's rapid development along all lines.

FELL BENEATH THE CARS
Leo Farmer Seriously Injured at Conway
 Depot Tuesday Morning.

Leo Farmer, a ffteen-year- old boy who formerly lived at Conway, was seriously injured at the depot in this city by falling beneath moving train Tuesday morning. His head was severely lacerated and he was also injured in the body.
 Farmer came up on the local freight from Argenta to visit his sisters who were visiting in the city, and attempted to get off while the train was in motion. He fell between the edge of the platform and the rail and was struck by the cars as they passed over him. That he escaped with his life, however, is regarded as remarkable. Drs. ]. F. Brown and c. D. Dickerson attended him and he was able to be taken on a cot to his home in Ar genta in the afternoon. He IS a son of the late R. D. Farmer, who formerly ran a blacksmith shop in this city.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE CLOSES
Two Week Session Ended Last
 Friday.
Enrolment Reached 1I5 and Attendance and Interest Manifested was Good
 Throughout.

The Peabody teachers institute for Faulkner county, which has been in session in the public school building of this city for the past two weeks, came to a close last Friday afternoon. The institute was unquestionably the most suc- cessful ever held and lively in- terest in all educational matters was manifested throughout the session.
 In speaking of the work of the institute, County Examiner T. F. Forrest, who assisted Prof. c. w. Newton of Cabot in co ducting it, said to the Log Cabin Democrat:
 This was one of the best insti- tutes ever held in the county. The enrolment reached IFS and the at tendance was good the entire time. Professor Newton rendered excel lent service, proving himself a thorough instructor of wide exper- fence and a great love for the work in which he is engaged. Besides the regular work of the institute, quite a number of interesting and helpful talks were made by visitors, among whom were the deputy state superintendent of public instruc- ton, the pastors of the various churches of the city, and number of prominent professors of the state. The institute was visited by the board of the state normal, some of whom addressed the teachers. The various questions discussed by wis itors were of vital interest to the teachers, especially that of county superintendency. A motion was carried that the teachers of Faulk- ner county go on record as heart fly favoring county superintendency and that they pledge themselves to use their utmost influence to arouse a more favorable sentiment in favor of the measure iii their respective localities. Resolutions were also adopted thanking Professor New ton for his untiring efforts to better the qualifications of the teachers in every way, and for the worthy ex- ample that he set beiNre them throughout the institute.

 Near Springfield Last Week.

Springfield, Ark, July I.- Especial correspondence. - Lula Paine shot and instantly killed her husband, Tom Paine, near here last Wednesday afternoon.

She closed the doors behind her, and as Tom was trying to break it open, she grabbed the winchester and shot him through the door, the ball en- tering the heart.
