IN GNEMORtAM

TO the Newark Baptist church in con
ference assembled:
As your committee appointed to
draft resolutions of respect to our de-
parted dead we submit the following:
The silent Reaper Death, who visits
alike the mansions of the rich and the
humble cottage of the poor, has visited
and called from our association Sisters
Maggie Davidson, Pheba HARRISON
and Lula Hail.
1t was Gods will, therefore best.
May His grace enable each one to say,
THY will, not mine, be done. Know
ing that "His purposes viii ripen fast
unfolding every hour. The-bud may
have bitter taste, but sweet will be
be the flower. .
We hereby record our appreciation
of their lives and fellowship, while we
cherish in our memory thoughts of
their words and deeds of Christian
character. May He who tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb comfort their
loved ones. Let each of us SO live til at
when the silent messenger shall call
us hence we may quietly fold our tents
and march across the line that seper-
ates the land of ever living life from
this vale of sickness, sin and sorrow,
for
There is no death; the stars GO down
To rise upon some other shore
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine for ever more. y
Mrs. BELL MAGNESS,
MRS. CORA GALLOWAY,
Mrs. JENNIE COSBY.
Committee.

GOVERNOR LITTLE IMPROVING
Stricken Governor Rapidly Recover
ing Health and Mind

Governor John S, Little is rapidly
recovering both his mental and phys
zeal strength, according to reports
sent out from his home at Greenwood,
but in all proba bility he will never
attempt to again take up the duties of
governor of Arkansas.
A report gained credence a few days
ago that Governor Little was recover
ing SO rapidly that he would probably
resume his office within the next 90
days.
The governor is now able to walk
about alone an unasSisted He sleeps
soundly and eats. plenty. He walks
downtown once a day, a walk of about
four or five blocks from the Little resi-
denee, and frequently drives out to his
farm, where he assists, to an extent,
in directing the work. He remembers
everyone and everything, and to all
appearances is recovering a little more
each day, both mentally and physical
~. He spends the days reading, walk
ing or driving out to his farm, and
after short talk with his family or
visitors in the evening retires at an
early hour to secure a good night 5
rest. He is gaining flesh rapidly.
1t is not believed, however, that the
governors family willyever consent to
his return to the governors office. His
son, Paul Little, gave out the follow
ing statement at Little Rock a few
days'ago:
Father is improving rapidly, and
we are highly cheated at his condition.
Concerning the rumors that he will
take up the duties of governor again
within a period Of 90 days; I would say
that the family could not allow such a
thing, no matter how much he i'm
proves, and furthermore, | do not be-
lieve that he could afford to run the
risk of trying to act as governor at
any time from now on until his term
expires, unless he becomes absolutely
and completely we'll and his condition
is better even than before he took the
governors office. .

Corning, March 20.-Earl Round
tree, p years of age, was run over
and killed by train at Knobel, about
six miles south of Corning. With his
wife and child, he was standing on a
side track waiting for a southbound
train on which his mother was to ar
rive. He was struck by train which
was switching on the side track. The
noise of the other trains prevented him
from hearing the approaching engine.
His mother alighted from the incom-

the accident was Witnessed by her, as
we'll as by his wife and child.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH

FL Dorado, March 22.-Mystery
surrounds the death of V. S. Gulley,
a conductor of the Rock Island rail-
road, who was found in an uncon-
sciouS condition at the depot here
Thursday night and who never regain
ed consciousness from the time he was
found until he died Friday morning.
1t is thought that Gulley was killed by
poison and that the incentive to muir
der was robbery, as Gulley had about
500 on his person when he was last
seen before he was found in an uncon-
scious condition at the depot.

THE IDEAL EDITOR

This is the greatest country in the
world for newspapers. | believe with
jefferson that a newspaper is essential
in molding public opinion. OF our
newspapers | regard the smaller ones
as the larger ones. The big news
paper is business enterprise and so
valuable a business proposition that
only those can own it who are well off .
and, as a rule, the man who has the
business ability to control money
large enough hasn't the training Of an
editor and has to hire people to write
editorials for,him.
The editor who has kept himself
alert with what is going on is SO busy
that he doesn't accumulate money.
Great city newspapers are owned by
some and edited by others. The man
who is not permitted to put his con-
science in every line that is written is
not the ideal editor. [ believe that
the ideal editor is the editor who owns
his ON own paper and says what he
himself believes. William j. Bryan.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
Sulphur Rock to Have Special Temp
erance Service Next Sunday

Sulphur Rock, March q. We are
very thankful indeed to be able to tell
of the great interest manifested in the
Sunday school work at Sulphur Rock
Until about two months ago we only
had one Sunday school in our midst,
that Methodist, and the only charter
ed Sunday school in the county. At
that time our Methodist school num-
bered 252 members with good atten-
dance each Sunday, and as our school
was rather crowded the Baptists decided
to organize Sunday school at their
church, which they did and elected Mr.
Frank Wright superintendent and
Miss Maud Moore secretary, and by
the untiring efforts Of the superinten-
dent and many of the members, they
have succeeded in enrolling amember-
ship of IS, with good attendance each
Sunday BY the organization of this
school some % or 30 members were
taken from our Methodist school,
which we very much regretted at the
time, having been SO pleasantly asso-
ciated with many of them for long
time and having learned to love them
very dearly. But / am very thankful
indeed that they found a good place to
work for the Master in this school,
many of them being officers and teach
ers and my prayers are that they may
accomplish great good in this Sunday
school and that it may be great sue
cess in pointing many souls to Christ.
Since the organization of the Bap-
fist Sunday school the Methodist
school has increased its membership
to 2S2, with an average attendance Of
81 per cent. We have also organized
our home department for the benefit of
those who cannot attend the Sunday
school, which is quite benefit and
blessing and is very much enjoyed by
many of the old. people who could mot
attend Sunday school en- ,,t-stss cnurch:
We have also Ol,- ..ized our cradle
roll, apdaTh1g very thankful indeed to
k,@5ooo uPEiere are very few in oul.
l4llelh %ho are not interested in the Sun
DAY school work. 1t certainly is d
great pleasure to me to have OUR
church filed each Sunday with our
citizens, grown folks as we'll as the
children, who are anxious to study the
Sunday school lesson.
Our motto is Every one of our boys
and girls in Sunday school and svery
one who are not already religious
converted from sin unto God and
| righteousness. .
We haved planned for temperance
service next Sunday, the 29th in con-
nection with the temperance lesson,
consisting of temperance songs, reci-
tations and speeches, and extend q
cordial invitation to all who can to
come and be with us in this service
and extend to you Mr.. Editor press
ing invitation to visit us at that time
