 TELEPHONE CO? Stockholders of the North Ark ansas Telephone Co. Figure
 on Selling.

A meeting of the directors of the North Arkansas Telephone Company was held in Springdale Monday, tile meeting being ea1l- ed Tor the purpose of considering a proposition to dispose of the stock of the company. We un- derstand that q ma jority of the stockholders have agreed to sell, but the deal has not yet progress ed far enough to give any details. It has been rumored on the streets that the Bell Telephone Company Is interested in the deal, but this statement could not be verified. Should there be d sale 1t IS understood the busi- ness would continue to be con- dueted as the North Arkansas Telephone Company.
 The North Arkansas Telephone Company Is probably the largest strictly home telephone company III the state, all the stock of the company being owned by resi- dents III the towns Tn which the company operates. The com pany maintains exchanges at Springdale, Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonvllle, Huntsville and Huntsville, in addition to their toll lines.

SPRINGDALE HAS
 CHRISTMAS FIRE.

Springdale had display Of fireworks Christmas afternoon not down on the program, and which could not even be stopped by Marshal Berry. It was the burning of the frame building just north of the stock pens on the railroad Just how the fire originated IS not known, but some claim 1t was started by spark from the engine of the north bound passenger train, the fire being discovered soon after tle train had passed. The build- ing was burned to the ground. and Thompson Bro. lost about a thousand mining props which had been stack. up along the track for loading. The runway and q portion of the fencing Of the cattle pens were also destroy ed..Had 1t not been for prompt asslstanee,. and fact that pond of water was near, Thomp- son X Bros loss would undoubt- edly have been considerably more.
 The building belonged to Carl Ownbey, and was erected q few seasons ago by one of the local associations as an apple loading station. The building was val ued at S250. The building was used as ware house by D. E. Jones, local agent tor the Caney Oil Refining Co.,, of Caney, Kan. aud the company had in the building at the time of the fire seven barrels of gasoline, num- Der of empty barrels and tanks, and an oil wagon. Mir. Jones thinks the loss to the oil company will be between S200 and S250.
