STORE WRECKED; TWO HURT

Mountain Home, March 9. This morning little after II o'clock the town was thrown into intense excite ment by an explosion in the store of Albert Baker, wrecking the entire building and damaging the goods to a considerable extent. It developed that two cans of powder had exploded but how will always remain a mystery.
 In the store at the time were Albert Baker, Austin Baker and John Coven- ton. Albert Baker was at the front end and escaped injury, while Austin Baker and Mr. Coventon were injured, :, Goventon badly and Baker seriously Austin Baker was standing nearly over the powder cans at the time and was in the act of handing something to Coventon. He was blown about 10 feet away and Coventon was blown across the room.
 Fire was scattered all over the build ing and great clouds of smoke poured from the house, making it impossible to enter from the front.
 The timely arrival of the bucket bri- gade saved the contents and building from utter destruction.
 Baker and Goventon were both bad ly burned and and bruised, but will recover.

ROMANCE AND REALITY


 ''Let the youngsters have the'r TO- nance an it'll be all the better for lem ef they git purity good dose on it; but don't hide from 'em the fact that thar's somethin' in the shape of trouble a-waitin for em up the road, . said Mr. Billy Sanders. Not big trouble, tooby shore, but jest big enough to make 'em stick closer to- gether. at aint no use to try to rub out the fact that life is what it is. It's full of. rough places, an thar are times when you have to leave the big road an take a short cut through the bamboo briers for to- keep from slipp- in in a mud-hole. The briers hurt. but the mud-hole thought smifficate you. It aint no use to deny it, trouble is seasonin'. I never know'd 1t to hurt anybody but the weakminded, the wilful, and them that was born to the purple. ,-Joel Chandler Harris in

To promote better fellowship and CO.
operation among the evangelical pastors
of the city and to further any project that
will make for the religious advancement
of the Pastors Federation OF Washing
ton. d. c.. which was recently formed
at the Y NJ. G. A. building and with
which about 100 ministers have already
allied themselves.
The federation is regarded as one of
the results of the Gypsy Smith evangelis-
tic campaign recently held in this city.
That was promoted by the Laymen's
Federation. but ministers Of all evangel-
cal denominations were on the commit
tees which made it a success This sug-
gested the value of a pastors federation
similar to the Laymens Federation.
While no definite plans have been
formed for the activities of the new Or
SANITATION. it is regarded as not unlikely
that it will aid future undenominational
campaigns similar to that conducted by
Gipsy. Smith and will give impetus to
some general civic movements for the
city's improvement.
At its meetings, of which there will be
five during each year, it is expected that
live religious topics will be considered.
not only by local pastors, but by prolnl-
nent churchmen from all parts of the
world The first meeting Will ne heid
the last Monday in January and the
program for it is in the hands OF an
executive committee.
