ASSURED
Work on the New Hotel Building Will Begin in a Very
 Short Time.
PREPARING PLANS OF BUILDING.
Architect Chas. L. Thompson, of Little Rock, is Getting Sketches Ready for the Approval of the
 Building Committee.

In a short time we believe the announcement can be made that work has begun on the new ho- tel. The money necessary is satisfactory secured The arch itect has been instructed to draw several sketches, from which the building committee will make a selection; and an abstract-maker is just finishing the abstract of title to three-quarters of block whereon the building is to be To- cated.
 These preliminary steps of course are necessary in a venture of the proportions of this enter prise and may cause a few days delay in getting down to actual work, but the best assurance that there is to be no further hitch in the proceedings, is the fact that none of the necessary details are being omitted, and there will be a gradual pro gress from the signing of the first note, to the serving of the first meal.

 Laneburg, June 6.-This sec tion was visited yesterday by a splendid rain, which was of much benefit to farmers. The ground had begun to get hard on top in this section, and the rain came just right.
 Crop prospects are improving. Corn is healthy, though small for the time of year; has good color, and is clean. Cotton chopping is the order, and the farmers are about half through with this part of their work.
 Ernest Brown, who has been at Barham, Texas, for some time has returned, and gone to work at his old position with the Berk man Lumber Co.
 The measles is still causing lots of illness in this section, and there appears to be little hope of checking the spread of the dis ease for some time. A telephone message from Sutton this morn ;,,, o,,cD,,nnnS fhof I nm PnnnrS at Beaty'S mill, has a severe case, and that as scores have been exposed to him, a renewal of the disease at that place, is ex- pected. Sutton suffered in the winter and spring largely from the disease, but until the new case of Rogers, it was thought had gotten rid of it.

BERLIN FACES HARD PROBLEM.
In Connection With Supplying Food
to Starving children.

Berlin, Dec. 23.-The municipality
is face to face with a serious prob
lem in connection with the supplying
of food to thousands OF starving chill
dren attending primary schools in
Berlin. Hitherto the children's Can
teen society has. been able to cope
with the task in fairly satisfactory
way by means of subscriptions from
private sources. but calls on its
funds are this year so great that It
will be unable to supply many of the
children. In the first week Of De-
cember. according to official statistics
from 2f5 out of 2S5 primary schools,
no fewer than 1891 children at
tsnded school in most cases without
breakfast and in all cases without
the prospect of obtaining a midday
meal at home.
or these 4.49S receive a simple
daily meal from fourteen canteens
belonging TO the above mentioned
society; the other 7.449 are totally
unprovided for.
