Since the Death Angel has again
entered our little fraternal order and
laid his icy hands on one of our mem
bers, Mrs. John Olvey, and since she
has always been so much devoted to
the cause of Christianity and human

earnest effort to comfort those in her
reach, be it
RESOLVED, BY this RI bekah Lodge
No. 1872 |. o. O. F., that we tender our
heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing
family in their bereavement, assuring

OF our sister who was always so gen
erous and kind, and loving and whose
life was spent in the cause of human
ily.
5rd. That in in the death of Sister
Olvey Odd Fellowship has lost one of
it's most earnest and faithful workers.

late the life of one so true, so kind,
and so loveable to all.
5th. That these resolutions be

hel p MS much by sending any good
reading matter. The iails are a
great influence for good or evil, aud
bad prisoners will cause the down
fall of many others who would he
good; so let us give this a thought
and do all within our power to help
lilt the poor fallen man out of the
pit the Devil has gotten him into.
The card games are fast giving

and, laboring under difficulties as
we are, with only two small Bibles
in the Jail, we are progressing Last
week both Bibles could lie on my
door stone all day and they would
hardly be read by any Of the Jail
hoys but myself, and now can
hardly get one TO study my Sunday
School lesson. So YOU can see that
there is going TO be some good done
The outside world does not know
where it can do the most good
ANY Christian can help this work
out by sending in good reading mat
ter. The Jail boys are glad to re-
celve anything from the outside.

Still Another New
Railroad for Harrison.
The ST. Louis & Fort Smith Air Line
Would begin Operations Here.
For A Bonus of $4,000 Will Build South into Newton Co

On Wednesday evening last, after
several days spent in Il reeonnais-
ance of the route between Harrison
and Jasper, and in observing care
fully the mineral, marble, timber
and other resources of the line,
Messrs. " H Wyke, of Cincinnati,
w. r Allen, of Jacksonville, Ala,
and A. Murphy, OF Eureka Springs
returned to Harrison, Their inves.
LEGATIONS were in the interest OF
proposed railroad to be constructed
soon through this section, the pre-
limnary report on which is in the
hands of Mr., Wyke. 1t seems that
through the intercession of Rev,
Allen and others who have valuable
marble, mineral and timber in
terests in Newton county, the Com
panv has been induced to take up
its work from this point, provided
proper interest and cooperation is
shown by our people.
Mr. Wyke has been frank in say
ing that he will in the broadcast
terms recommend the proposition as
one promising splendid returns on
the investment He thinks the re-
sources of the country reached in
clude at least three items, any one
of which would furnish tonnage
enough to Justify the building of a
line-mineral, marble and timber,
and granting this favorable report.
it only remains for the people of
Boone and Newton counties to give
proper encouragement to insure inn
mediate steps in the development of
the enterprise.
While at Jasper Monday, the gen
tlemen made proposition to the
people of that town and county to
build a railroad from Harrison to
Jasper for a bonus of So 800 per
mile and right-of-way and the Jas

A Splendid Showing of Fine Stock.
The Walter Snapp Colt Show Brings Many Splendid Animals
to Town.
toTown.

The large crowd Of our farmers
and stoekmen which gathered in
Harrison on Saturday was certainly
q most gratifying evidence that the
stock raiscrs- of Boone county are
fully awake to their most important
Interests. The occasion of Satur.
days gathering was a Colt Show
wherein a number of premiums had
been offered by w. l.. Snapp, of near
Beletonte, for colts from his com.
bination stud including his saddle
Stallion, Red Berry 1925, Imported
German Coach Stallion Rynolds
1929 and big mammoth lack, Lit
seys Black Hawk Jr, 1898.
Unquestionably it was the finest
lot of colts ever exhibited in the
county and stock men visitors say it
was equal to the displays made at
Fairs in the older states where pride
in fine stock has been proverbial for
many years.
The following judges were selected
to award premiums, and pleased all
by the fairness of their decisions:

Mrs. Della Cox Dead.

On Tuesday night, after a brief
but severe illness OF cancer of the
stomach, Mrs. Della Cox died at her
home in south Harrison, aged 20
wears and 4 months. She was
buried at the Cemetery Wednesday,
Rev Galloway conducting the ser
vices.
Mrs. Cox was an earnest, every
day Christian; ever ready to minis
ter to the suffering and console the
afflicted to give untiring services
freely wherever needed, to friend or
stranger Such a life was blessing
and benediction to all who came
within its influence, and although
we have known her for years as but
a poor widow, struggling under dis
advantages of all kinds, it is safe to
say that she will be missed by more
friends than will many more inhuen-
tial and more selfish.

Getting Even With the Preacher.

When Rev. w. I. Nicholson, of
Belletonte, drove to town last Sat
urday it might have been noticed by
a close observer that his team was
attached to the buggy by set of
pillow gear much more to beesteemed
for its strength and durability than
its beauty.
AS the rig stood hitchcd to the
rack opposite the TIMES office a
party of the preachers friends from
up the creek gathered about it. Rev
Nicholson had just finished a SPLEEN
did series oil meetings in their neigh
borhood; they had learned to love
him for his sterling character as well
as for the Gospel he preached, and
they decided unanimously that the
turnout was not good enough do
credit to the man and the cause rep
resented
1t is not every time that a party
OF good men act promptly in such
cases, but this crowd was an exeep-
ton, and it was the work of but a
few moments to strip the old har-
ness from the team, lead the horses
over to Frew's Saddlery Store and
fit them out with one of the hand
soonest sets of harness in the stock.
When Rev, Mich olson got ready to
return home his first difficulty was
in recognizing his horses in their new
trappings, and his next in modest
ly suppressng the fact that he was
the happiest man in town.

per people have already secured
$40, 900 on the proposition.
On Thursday morning they met
with the business men of Harrison
and laid before them a similar prop
osition but $500 less on the mile, in
detail as follows:
Harrison to subscribe for stock in
the railroad company to the amount
of So 900 per mile and furnish the
right-of-way for the eight miles
which carries the road from Harri-
son to the Newton county line,
amount payable in three Install
ments as the three sections of the
road are constructed.
As anything in the line of bad
faith with the construction COM
pany represented by w, A. Squires,
which is considering line from
Bergman to Harrison was not to
be tolerated for moment, and at
the same time our business men
were all anxious 10 treat courteous
" and encourage any company con-
sidering enterprises for the develop
ment of the section, the matter was
discussed with considerable delicacy
by MANY present, and it was finally
decided to refer the matter to COM
mittee of seven. which was appoint
ed by the Chairman, W H. Cecil, as
follows: A.. Walters, W. !. Myers,
W. F. Gordon, !. r. Newman, + X.
Michel, A. l. Lopp, and George w.
O'Neal.
There is much in this proposition
that is attractive to our people, and
as soon as the situation clears up
so that the two enterprises under
consideration can be weighed prop
erly together, the fullest encourage
ment and cooperation will doubt
less be given to both,

Arkansas Wonderful White Sand,

NJ. J. Clabbey, the well.known
railroad contractor of Bergman was
a Harrison visitor this week, and
brought to the TIMES office a sample
bag of the white sand he is grinding
out at the little town of Gnion, on
the White River railroad aud selling
to the great glass factories at a
price which makes Arkansas sand
stone look good, even to a zinc
miner,
Carloads of sand rock are being
shipped from the new sandmlll OF
the Arkansas Silica Sand Company,
which has been running about six
months, and is the only mill grind
ing the raw product in the entire
Southwest. The Guion deposit OF
sand rock in lard county Is also the
only place that it is found in Arkan-
sas or neigbboring states, where it
assays at 1915 per cent, pure silica.
Mr.. Clabbey has numerous letters
in his office from a number OF glass
blowing establishments at Alton,
Ill Pittshurg, Pa, and other points
throughout the country, expressing
entire satisfaction at the quality of
glass sand shipped them from .khs.-,
mill at Guion.
About $50, 900 has been invested
in the enterprise. The sand deposit
was discovered when that road was
under construction, but at the time
of the discovery the properties and
commercial value of the sand rock
were unknown to those who found
it. One of the railroad builders
however, took some specimens OF
the white rock to his home in Spring
field O., as a eurio, and it was even
tualy shown to geologist, who at
once recognized its value, and an ex-
pert was at once sent to Groin to
make examination. Later Ithe Ar
kansas Silica Sand Compa1s9, was
organized, with headquarters at
Carthage, Mo, and a number of the
railroaders who had been construct
sin the new road took stock in the
corporation.
The mill has been in operation
since the first of the year and em-
ploys from 10 to 80 men at this
time. Another mill is under eontem-
plation however, and as soon as It
built the working force, as well as
the capacity of the plant, will pro-
badly be doubled. Since it stated
the mill has shipped nearly too bun
dred carloads of the product to
glass working concerns, as we'll as
to cement factories. for the rock
when pulverized can be used as an
element in a very high grade of CO.
