First Concrete Residence.

Postmaster J. T. Stephens is hav-
ing his residence moved back 10
his vacant lot west of the old site,
and is excavsting for a basement
which will be under a new concrete
residence that will be erected in a
short time.
This will be the first residence OF
the kind to be built in this CITY, and
will doubtless pave the way for
many more such structures. Con-
crete buildings are no longer an ex-
pertinent, but it seems to require a
demonstration at this place in order
to start the builders to using it.
The great advance in the price Of
lumber will have tendency, as il
has already to a great extent in
many places, to encourage the use Of
concrete for all building purposes.
We are coming to it.
A. G. Kimbro. of this city. erect.
ed last fall livery barn made OF
concrete, and it makes a handsome
building-to say nothing of its
stability.
Stephens new residence will have
8 rooms, bath and basement, and
will be beauty. The house could
be built for less, but he will spend
about SIS, 900 on it.
The material will be furnished by

 $l5,0OO Stolen, Returned

New Haven, Aug. 4.-When Dr. w. P. Hayes of the New Haven Dental Company opened a bulky package which. he received yesterday by mail he found a number of securities and mining stocks valued at S15,000 which were stolen from his offices about a week ago.

At the present time we are very
much in need of rain, and unless
we get an abundance of rain with
in the next ten days, corn crops in
this valley will be very materially
damaged. Millet is already dam
aged, and with copious showers
from now on until time to cut it, it
cannot make more than 80 per
cent. of an average yield. The
ground has not been thoroughly
wet for more than six weeks, while
nearly all of the surrounding To-
calities have been blessed with
plenty Of rain.

S. Grunberg and J. Papsch are

The report that they do not in

like many other reports, wholly
without foundation.

The good Baptist people of Bru-
not had an all-day meeting at Blu
lah Church the first Sunday, with
dinner on the ground, free lemo-
made, etc. Over 800 people were
there. l heard a woman say she
met people there she had not seen
for twenty-five years. One farmer,
MI. Henry Ford, one of the best
men in that section, furnished 100
loaves of bread, chickens, mutton,
and boiled ham in proportion.
For a good, old-fashioned meeting
you want to go to Bulah Church.
When they sang the good, old
songs of "Jesus, Lover of My
Soul,' and "Stand Up, Stand Up
for Jesus" it brought back our
boyhood days when we attended
church with our father and moth
er. That is the kind of religion to
die by, and the modern religion
will do to live by. May God ever
bless these dear people! is tn
prayer of "~Isaac."
Quite a number of the Des Arc

people think it is Arcadia and may
get off there, which will make it

The committee from the Southern
Methodist church who met recent
ly in Arcadia to select a site for
an Epworth League Encampment
have bargained for the Kaths tract
across the railroad from the city
limits.
This location has met with wide
enthusiasm as it has become
known throughout the church con-
nection and great plans r being
made for its development.
A large tabernacle which will
seat at least three thousand people
will be built upon the knob, while
the different Leagues and churches
will erect their own pavilions and
bungalows. The grounds will be
laid off in driveways with space
for golf links, tennis courts and
other amusement grounds.
An artificial lake will be made
and the grounds will be beautifed
during the year, as an Encamp-
ment for next summer is planned
for.
A special train will be run from
st. Louis very soon to give those
interested an opportunity to run
down for a day and "view the land
scape Ger"
This Encampment will be one Of
the largest enterprises in the
Southern church. Pertle Springs
now in session near Warrensburg,
Mo-, is conducted under this same
plan and has been very successful
in developing the religious life of
the young people.
But "Epworth City" as the En-
campment at Arcadia will be
called, will rival in size the Texas
Encampment where 5000 Leaguers
gather for twelve days during
August for educational, social and
religious advancement every sum-
mer. This institution is known as
"Epworth- by-the- Sea-" and is
located at Corpus Christi.
Arcadia is very fortunate to
have secured an enterprise SO far
reaching in it's scope as "Epworth
City" will be. The valley will be
made to rejoice and the hills will
resound with the Hosannas to the
King of Kings as these consecrat-
ed young Christians go in and out
each season. x. x. x.
