Conflicting Engagements.
The directors of the Labor Temple
did not meet last Monday evening.

much politics in the air. At any rate
three of the directors were seen at
Havelock Monday night, attending the
Bryan meeting there. Vice President
Rudy is absent from the city.
An effort will be made to hold a
meeting next Monday evening. but it
is barely possible that nothing can be
done until after the votes are counted
and everybody RECEIVERS from the

We asked Mir. Wilson Cardwell to tell us about the berry industry in Arkansas, and he kindly fur nished us the following:
 The pioneers in the cultiva- tion of the stra" berry as q com mercial fruit, in this part of the country, were E. $. Horton, ] F. Harris, James Gardweil and few others wkose names Icannot HOW recall. Having no data concern ing the efforts of any ot these gentlemen, except Nr, Horton, with whom l Worksd m tbe busi- ness. I'll give that In the spring of 1sSb. he p'a1ted one seventh of au acre n >trawber- ries. and the following year, 1887. he sold the crop for 112 o0
 He received sa2.Q0= Tor the second crop of the same one-seYentH of an acre in IssS. He then plant ed one acre. aud sold from that one acre the next year, 1880, SIPS. 0e worth of berries. That year at one q his pickings from this ole acre. he go. .net. so4. o0. This profitable demonstration induced others to take ID the raising of berries. That was the start, ard the pluck and en- terprise of tie pioneers, discover ed ta this people tie profit of berry farming here. The first crop more than netted enough to pay all expenses and the price of the land. too. These profitable results rapidly enhanced the value of lands that advanced from Sl0 to S2o, and on to e1oo per acre. The banner year in the berry in- dustry here, in the way of pro- duction was in 1908, when Spring dale and vicinity could show 250o In berries. In that year, there was loaded, at Springdale, in one day, Is car loads of lus- cious strawberries. On that same day, 5S cars of strawberries were loaded on the Frisco from Van Buren to Monett, Mo. We have had better prices other years but never a bigger production. One beauty about this business IS that 1t gives employment to hun- dreds of hands. men. women and boys and girls. The plekers come annually from other parts.

and assist in the harvest. It gives them an outing while they are earning good wages. The work of picking IS laborious. but
 the surroundings are pleasant.
 and the growers vie with each other 1T arranging everything
 for the pleasure and comfort of the pickers. Springdale not only claims the distinction of having grown the first commercial Der ries in all this territory; but the Springdale Shippers Union Is the outgrowth of the pooling ar engagement entered into at the begiuningott the industry here. by tile local shippers at Springdale, Rogers, Garfield and Avoca, so u to load in car lots. On Aug ust }. 1895. the Springdale Ship pers' Union was organized and properly incorporated with char fer. with the following named charter members: F. l.. Wilson, 1. D. Rader, U.J Gillette, C. ]. Chapman, W. II. Searcy. w. K. Bird and F. 0. Gully. This was tie first ganization Of growers to ship in car load lots. and they are still doing bushes at the old stand. Last season they handled s5 cars of strawberries, for which they received S42. .S99.7o. their total business, including the handling of crates. being $50, IF. as. The Farmers Union handled about the same amount, our total business, here at Springdale last season, being about S100. .000.o0 worth. AS growers here. we have made the mistake of grow ing too many varieties, not being well enough organized. The re- suits have been that our crop was of all kinds, large, small, early. late. l had the pleasure this year Of introducing ln the meeting of the Farmers Union District Local q resolution requesting the mem- bers to plant only two varieties, the klondyke for early, and the Aroma for late, and that at least Poo acres be planted, so as to load III car lots of the same berry. The resolution was adopted by unanimous vote. and other asso- eiations are adopting the same system. We predict more pros porous and successful future un- der our better system. .

PUBLISHER BEALE AssAULTEDI

 breach of the peace and intoxication. The man claims wo days salary due.
 He was discharged by Beale, who formerly ran the Berlin News and
 recently came here. Beale says he overpaid the man when he discharg- ed him. Yesterday afternoon Cam non went to the print shop and made a general nuisance of himself. As MT Beale was attempting to use the telephone the man grabbed 1t away from him and attempted to strike him. MT Beale called his daughter who brought in coal shovel and
 with this Beale beat off the fellow until Constable Booth was summoned.

 Old Year.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. I.After many years the political control of this city to-day passed out of the
 hands of the republicans into those Iof their best friends, the democrats, when at high noon Mayor John P. IStudley, retired and Mayor James B. Martin took up the duties of govern. ing the city. The inaugural exercises at city hall were more than oriin- |arily interesting as there was soma attempt at a pageant, the march of
 the triumphal mayor-elect and mem- bers of two boards being under the direction of City Sheriff Kollerstronl,
 bearing the municipal flag, follc>Va |by the two mayors arm in arm "
 accompanied by retinue of city |cials who have been and those
 are to be fo rthe next two. years. .aldermanic chamber freshened painters and decorators was redoleI
 with fragrance from many cluste of flowers sent by friends of MT Ma
 tin. The exercises were witnessed
 very large gathering of especia
 invited friends. The administratio
 of the oaths to the incoming men
 bers was followed by short addressl
 by the retiring mayor and Mayo
 Martin.

NEW YEARS DAY.
Churches Filled With Worshippers-
 Business Suspended.

The city was ill holiday attire this afternoon. Almost all the stores were closed and the fine weather
 brought large crowds into tine center. The watch services in the churches last night were well patronized and anybody who attended divine service
 this morning and had to stand
 through the service must have been
 puzzled to know what all this talk
 means about empty pews and an ap-
 preciable falling off ill the good old Christian practice of going to church on Sunday and holidays, if not oi
 tener. At the Immaculate Conccp- ton church at 9 o'clock this morning every seat down stairs and in the gall leries was occupied and many were standing in the aisles. To be sure, this may have been due in some re- spects at least, to the fact that the hour Is the most convenient that could have been appointed for the accommodation of all. but even so, when one considers the fact that five masses were celebrated Ut that church and one in the chapel across the way. and three or four services were held in all the other churches of that denomination, all having large congregations. it will be seen that Waterbury is abreast of the times in the matter of church going, as in ev- erything else that aims to make T community what it ought to be.
 There was good order about the streets last night and to-day. Large numbers remained up last night to hear the chimes ring ill the new year at midnight, This is an old establish ed custom the world over and like the matter of church going. Instead of being on the wane. it appears to be becoming more popular as the years roll onward. It is pleasant to stand OH the brink of the departing year and take n look over ones life and see what he has accomplished dur ing the years that have passed into history and resolve to continue ir his good resolutions to the end. In the natural order of things many Aut iHtlOut ot ihN siiN made merry with their friends last night for the last time on New Years eve. If is well that nobody can point out those who will he absent a year hence. but the fact that there is abso- lutely no doubt but that some will be missing emphasizes the necessity of all being prepared to answer the summons at any moment.
 Probably the best wish one could mako at the opening of the New Year is that in case he should not be in the flesh at the close of the year ig0S he will he in a much better world and that his place here will be filled by somebody better qualified to grap- pie with things as he finds them and capable of doing more good for those about him.
 The theaters were packed to the docss his afternoon onsothatslespite 60 the cry of hard times there is plenty Of money available for amuSements.
