office at Barney was located, and
took some articles Of value from
the store, for which offense they
were convicted in the justice OF the
peace court. The effects OF the

said, but to forcibly enter a build
ing in which postoffice is located
constitutes an offense against the
federal law, and the boys were
therefore indicted by the federal
grand jury.
Jasper Starr of Enola was also
indicted by the federal grand jury
Tuesday, his alleged offense being
the sale of liquor without having
paid the government tax.

NJ. E. CHURCH IS THRIVING
Record of Growth During Con-
ference Year.
Splendid Report Of Local Church to be Sub
mitted by Pastor, Rev. 3. Stew
enson.

Rev. ]. B. Stevenson. pastor Of
the Conway Methodist Episcopal
church, south, who leaves next
Monday to attend the annual con-
ference, will carry with him a
splendid report Of the work done
by the church in his charge during
the past year.
The Arkansas annual conference
meets Wednesday, November 6, at
Bentonville and Bishop E. R. Hen
dirk of Kansas City, in whose hon
Hendrix College is named, will
preside over It's sessions.
The Methodist church IN this
city is closing enc OF the most pros
porous years OF is existence. More
than one hundred new members
have been received into this church
during this year, making total
membership OF SIS, making 1t,
with two exceptions, the churches
in Fort Smith, the strongest church
in the conference. Forty adults
and nine infants have been bap-
tised.
Besides paying its pastor lib
eral salary, this church IS support
ing a special missionary in Cuba
and is doing a noble part toward
benevolent claims. During the
year the church has raised for
home missions, SI55; for the Meth
odist orphanage, $40; for the poor,
SIS; for the wornout preachers and
the widows and orphans OF de
ceased preachers, SI2o; for minis
terial education, $40; for church
extension, S64. All these claims
will be paid in full at conference
and the total amount raised by the
church will be about $500.
The Sunday school has so in
creased under the superintendency
of l.. c. Holman, that the large
church is overCrowded and three
classes are being sent out to near
by rooms.
Among the new features OF the
church 5 activity this year is the
organization OF the Gold Links, a
missionary organization for young
women; a bible school conducted
by the pastor, in which 81 young
people have had systematic train
ing in bible study, and woman 5
prayer circle, meeting each week
and largely attended.
The other organizations have al
so been earnestly at work. One
instance OF THEN activity is seen III
the woman's foreign missionary
society which is helping to support
a young lady who is preparing tor
mission work in the Scarrltt Tram
ing school at Kansas City.
The year has been one OF great
success and the hope is generally
expressed, not only by the mem
bership of the church but the en-
tire citizenship Of Conway, that
the conference will return Rev.
Stevenson to this charge tor
another year.

VAL FACTORIES LOCATING
Two New Stave and Heading
Mills Being Built.
Mills are Located at Enola and Whipple-
All Products to be Shipped from
Conway

An industry which has probably
not been given much thought by
the average citizen, but which will
mean a great deal to the county, is
the stave and heading mills which
are being located north OF Conway
by the American Timber and Stave
Co. of Memphis. Many people
have doubtless noticed the great
stacks of stave and heading mater
ial stored on the square south OF
the depot in this city, and this
shipping point will be the scene OF
much greater activity IN the near
future, when the new mills begin
running.
H. Katy of Memphis, president
of the company referred to, was
here a short time ago to visit the
sites of the new mills which are be-
ing installed, one at Enola and the
other at Whipple, on the line be
tween Faulkner and Van Buren
counties. The Enola mill has been
running for some time as heading
factory, but new machinery is now
being installed to make finished
slaves on a large scale, and is eX-
pected to start within short time.
A heading factory is also being IN
stalled at Whipple and IS now
about ready to begin cutting.
Mr. Katy's company operates
mills in nine counties besides
Faulkner and Van Buren. These
are Conway, Jefferson, Newton,
Chicot, Boone, Pope, Desha, Lin
coin and Drew. He expresses him
self as being highly pleased with
the sites of the mills in Faulkner
county, which were made by the
local manager George Krlmm.
May Install Mill at Conway.
The company is now making
only the raw material for slaves and
headings, and it is expected that
about four cars week will be ship
ped from the Enola and Whipple
mills. All shipments from these
mills will be made from Conway,
which will also be the principal
trading point for the mill employees.
The company also has under con-
sideration the matter of locating a
finishing mill in this city, where
the products of the other mills will
be converted into finished slaves
headings. This mill will be To-
Gated either in the northern or
southern part of the city, at some
point convenient to the railroad.
The large number Of men and
teams necessary to haul the pro-
duct to Conway, as we'll as hands
to cut timber and work in the mills,
will mean that considerable
amount of money will be distribu-
ted in the county by the company.
