A FAMILY ORCHESTRA.
An Orchestra Organized Practic.
 ally in One Family.

There is probably more music around the home of Judge Berry these days than any other home Tn Springdale. Although Judge Berry has never been accused of being in the least musically in- ellned, practically all oI his chil- dren have shown natural talent as musicians, and for this they are probably indebted to Mrs. Berry
 The younger members of the family, with Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Me0uaid-the latter being daughter of Judge and Mrs. Der ry-have organized an orchestra for mutual pleasure and profit, tile Instrumentation being as follows:
 Mrs. McQuaid, violin.
 Miss Marion Berry, violin.
 Miss Hazel Berry, viola.
 Miss Ethel Berry, piano.
 Walter Berry, violin cello.
 Dr. McQuaid, bass violin.
 l. r. Stewart has been em- ployed as instructor, and regular rehearsals are held at the home of Judge Berry. Mr. Stewart informs The News that they are progressing nicely and are now capable of making very good music.
 MT. Stewart has also began giving violin instructions to the children of Mr. and Mrs. A. ]. Phillips.

PLEASANTLY ENTERTAINED.

A number of Springdale ladies were very pleasantly entertained by Mrs. E. B. Littlefeld on Sat urday afternoon at her hospita- ble country home southeast of town. One of the interesting features was d guessing contest In which Mrs. Chas. Renner drew first prize, several having guessed the same number of correct an- swers.

INJURED AT CHARIVARI
Powder Exploded Too Soon,
 With Painful Results.

On Thursday night ot last week number of young men and boys assembled at the home of Calvin Johnson near Sonora, east of Springdale, for the pur- pose of giving that gentleman and his bride regular old-fash- toned eharivari. They were making merry by firing guns and shouting, and some of the more enthusiastic ones took along a couple of anvils to make the affair more .hair-raising.@ While load ing up for another shot a quantity of powder being haudeled by Thelman Johnson exploded, painfully burning him and Braz Kyle abont the face.
 Festivities were immediately brought to close, and the atten- tion of the entire party was giv- en to caring for their afflicted companions. Dr. J. E. Martin of this place went out to look af- ter the young men, and at last reports they were getting along nicely, with promise of no serious results. The boys will probably be more careful of their powder In the future, however.

large territory, of which this town would naturally be the cen- ter, and 1t will also give us con- neetion with the Kansas City Southern, d trunk line of rail road. This would put us in a position where we would, to a certain extent, be independent of the Frisco, a eonsummation de- voutly to be wished for.
 The News would suggest to the people of Springdale, and others who may be interested. that an effort be made 10 have a line built from here to Fayette- vile, and one into Madison Coun- ty, as far as Huntsville at least. A number of Madison County people have talked with The News concerning the matter, and so far as we have been able to ascertain, the people in that sec tion would prefer a connection at Sprlngdale rather than Fayette- vile as this IS nearer and natur- ally the central point for them. One line could be constructed into Madison County at a small ex- pense compared to the loop talk ed of at first, and with passing tracks at intervals. would serve every purpose.
 With an electric line construct ed as suggested above Spriugdale would make the best town in all Northwest Arkansas. And the way for us to get 1t IS for every body to go to work pulling tor 1t. With everybody working togeth- CT earnestly and harmoniously wonders can be accomplished for this town.

WINTRY WEATHER COLDEST SNAP" FOR A MUM.
 BER OF SEASONS. TWO DEGREES BELOW ZERO.
No Damage to Fruit.--Springdale People Enjoy Unusual Sport
 of Sleighing.

This section the past week has experienced the eoldest weather for several seasons past. Sun day morning was unusually warm for the season of the year, but the temperature began falling, and Monday 1t was only eight degrees above zero. There was considerable snow Monday, and Tuesday morning at six o'clock it was down to zero, and at seven a. III. the thermometer at the home of the writer registered four below. Thermometers around town varied, some regis tering as low as eight and ten degrees. The thermometer at the experiment. station at Fay etteville showed two below Tues day morning. There was more snow Tuesday night. and in all about six inches fell.
 This IS the eoldest "spell'' in this section for several seasons, and we had no such snow last winter. Zero weather in North west Arkansas IS unusual. Fruit men are of the opinion that no damage was done by the cold, as peach buds are practically dor mant, and the SHOW will be of benefit.
 Springdale people in large numbers have taken advantage of the snow to indulge in the un- usual pleasure of sleighing, and sleighs of almost every conceiva- ble shape and style have been seen on the streets the past week. It has also been good rabbit weather" and hundreds of the cotton tails have been slain and brought to market. One Spring dale dealer, J. C. Johnson, pur- chased 900 rabbits Wednesday, and for yesterday up to noon 2000 had been brought in during the day. As result of the large numbers brought Tn the price dropped from to I cents. Tie snow was rapidly melting yester- day at noon, and unless there is another fall but little will remain on the ground to-day.
 Newspaper reports show that the cold was general throughout the middle west, and of course the farther north the colder the weather. Some points Tn Mis- souri the Government report showed nine below zero. A ten inch snow fell at Monett, and about twelve inches at Spring field. Traffic was considerably delayed, and practically all trains have been from one to five hours behind time.

MARRIAGES.
SWEENEY-WE BEE k.

Through an oversi ght last week The News failed to make mention of the marriage of Miss Grace Sweeney and Wm. Webber, which occurred Sunday afternoon, January }, at the home of the brides parents, Rev. w. C. Evans, pastor of the M. F. Church, officiating. Only the relatives of the contracting par ties were present. A dinner was given Monday in honor of the bride and groom at the home of Mir. and Mrs. J. G. Webber, par ents of the groom, southwest of town.
 The bride Is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. w. NJ. Sweeney and was reared III this locality, where she IS esteemed and re- spected by all. The groom is a capable and energetic young man, and during his few years resi- dence in this locality has made many friends. MT. and Mrs. Webber have gone to housekeep- ing in new house near the residence of the formers parents southwest of town. The News offers its best wishes for their future happiness.

LOOKING GOOD PLANS FOR THE INTERURBAN
 ARE MATURING. ROUTE HAS BEEN CHANGED. Bentonville to Gentry, Tontitown and Springdale, Thence Back
 to Bentonville.
ROUTE HAS BEEN CHANGED.

The proposed electric inter- urban that has been talked of for the past few weeks received new impetus last week. G. T. Prop per, the principal promoter of the enterprise, returned some days ago from trip north and he brought back good news with him. As q result new interest has been aroused in the enter prise.
 An extra edition of the Ben- tonville Sun was printed Satur- day, containing number of let ters written to Mr. Proper by flnanclers III the north regarding the enterprise, and these letters would indicate that Mir. Proper has also the necessary backing to carry out his part of the con. tract.
 A public meeting of the citi- zens of Bentonville was held Thursday night of last week, and the Sun Extra gives the fol- lowing report of the meeting:
 An interesting and enthusias- tic mass meeting of the citizens of Bentonvllle was held at the Court House, Thursday evening Jan. :, 1909. House was called to order by Mayor Morris, who was elected chairman and ]. W. BloCher, secretary.
 Following the statement made by the chairman, as to the object of the meeting, enthusiastic speeches were made by G. T. Proper, of Minneapolis, pro- moter of the road, Judge l.. H. McGill, w. T. Maxwell. MT. Dem nie and Judge J. A. Rice of Ben tonville. All of whom presented the subject, which was discussed in a forcible and convincing man. ner.
 The credentials presented by the Western Surety and Adjust ment Co. were read by the chair man. A motion was made by $. s. Higly that the creden- tlals be accepted, and that the present committee make the best contract that could be made with this company, to build and com- plete the road from Bentonville to Joplin, from Bentonville to Gentry, thence to Springdale by way of Tontitown and from Springdale to Bentonville by way of Colville, also line from Bentonville to Pea Ridge. The motion was unanimously carried.
 J. w. Blocher,
 Secretary.
 The above proceedings "tell the tale" and Bentonvllle and her enterprising citizens can be congratulated upon securing this great financial prize. Now let everybody get busy and prepare for the making and building of the best town in Arkansas. Every citizen should now be ''pusher."
 From the above 1t will be seen that the plan to build east into Madison County has been aband- oned, and that Springdale will be the terminus of the road at this end of the line. The build ing of such a line as indicated above would appear much more practicable than the plan of building a loop around through Madison County, as first propos- ed. It will not require near so much money to build, as the country through which it will pass is comparatively level and there will be no heavy grades. That such a line would be of al- most untold benefit to Spring dale everyone realizes, as it would put IS in touch with a

 Another pardon recently grant ed by Governor Pindall was one to Hugh Daug herty, who killed James Litterell Ill an altercation at the Stone Livery Barn in Springdale June %, 1907. Lit terrell was stabbed with q pocket knife and lived only a few hours. Daugherty was convicted of manslaughter at the April, 1908, term of Washington circuit court aud sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. We have not learned on what grounds he was pardoned.
