THE LIGHTS0UT
IN POCAHONTAS
Electric Light Plant Broke Down
Last Thursday Night, Darkness
Still Prevails

The town of Pocahontas has been
in darkness since last Thursday
night, the engine at the plant hav-
ing broke down just before the
time for the lights to be turned on.
Those who depended on the plant
were put to much inconvenience
and are now using lamps, the part
of the machinery broken having not
yet arrived. Dreamland Theatre,
which was to have opened last
Thursday night with moving pic
lures, was obliged to close up for
the present as electricity is requir-
ed to run the machinery. This
play house will open just as soon
as the lights are turned on. Those
Of our business men who have gas
lights installed in their places are
very fortunate and many others
contemplate putting them in 10 ord ]
to prevent being again inconven-
fenced like we have the past week.

Meeting Held
Last Tuesday
Relative to the Frisco Bridge at
this place was Well At
tended and Much
Interest Mani
tested.

A pnblic meeting was held in the
ourt house at this place Tuesday
of this week for'the purpose of 'as>'
certaining whether or not the pro-
posed bridge of the Frisco across
Black river would interfere with
steamboat navigation. There was
a good attendance at the meeting,
the government being represented
by Major Walker, of Little Rock.
The subject was discussed pro aud
con and the impression of the peo-
pie is that the bridge will be built
at an early date but whether it will
be draw bridge has not been
definately decided.

FITTlNGLY OBSERVED
WAS MOTHERS DAY
In POcahOntas Last Sunday
Union Services Conducted
In Opera House. Band
Played Concert

"Mother's Day" was httingly
celebrated in Pocahontas last Sun
day by union services in the opera
house which were largely attended.
As was announced in last weeks
issue of the Star Herald, Sunday
school was held at 9 O'clock IN the
morning at the Baptist and Metho-
dist church IN order to give the
children an opportunity to attend
the morning services which were
held in the opera house.
At 1890 o'clock the crowd COM
menced gathering and at the regu-
lar appointed time for services the
opera house was well filed with
people. Each person was met at
the entrance by D. V. Cooke, who
presented those not wearing flower
with a white rose, which had been
ordered by the Woodmen of the
World.
Rev. F. G. Neeley, pastor of the
Baptist church, conducted services,
assisted by Rev. w. f. Tuten,
pastor of the Methodist church.
The Choirs of both churches rem
dered excellent and appropriate
music for the occasion, Mrs. ID.
j.. Wiley presiding at the piano.
The sermon was very attentively
listened to and enjoyed by those
present.
At 1880 the Pocahontas Cornet
Band, recently organized, played a
concert in front of the court house
and the boys did excellent, notwith-
standing the fact that they have
been organized but so short time.
At : o'clock the crowd assembled
ed at the opera house at which time
Rev. w. F. Tuten delivered an ex-
cellent discourse. Special music
was also rendered on this occasion
by the united choir.
Last Sunday was the first time
that "Mothers Day" has been oh.
served in Pocahontas and from the
manner in which our people mani
tested an interest it goes without
saying that next year and each pre-
cediug one will witness larger
crowds and a more elaborate pro-
gram.
Sunday was an ideal day and
large crowds were out on the streets
both before and after the services.

DR.. c. II. BROUGH
LtCTURED HERE
Last Friday Night. "GlOry of
the Old South and the Great
ness OF the New" was the
Subject

DR.. Charles H. Brougb, well
known at this place and a prominent
lecturer, author and educator and
who for the past six years has been
professor of political economy at
Fayetteville University, lectured at
this place last TT u sday light in the
opera house. Owing to the fact
that the electric light plant bro Ike
down Thursday afternoon, the lecture
was not well attended as the people
Of our city were ur0er the impress
sion that it would be called off, but
lamps were secured and small
audience was present when Prof.
Brough made his appearance. His
subject was "The Glory of the Old
South and the Greatness of the
New" His oratory pulses with the
patriotism of the South and is par.
tlcularly inspiring and hel pful for
the young. 1t Is to be regretted
that the light plant broke down
which caused 80 small an attendance
and it is to be hoped that the Doc.
tor will lecture here again in the
near future.

Herald takes pleasure IN doing ID
giving all encouragement possible
to the JOung men of our county,
who are disposed to engage in any
kind Of legitimate enterprise.

been engaged in that line, having
began only last summer.

BISHOP LLoYO
He win Resign as Bishop COadjutor to
20 to New York.

The acceptance by Bishop Coadjutor
Arthur S. Lloyd. of Virginia, of the
presidency of the reorganized domestic
and foreign mission board of the Epis-
copal church. means that Bishop Lloyd
will give up his bishOpric duties in Vir-
ginia in order TO devote his entire time
to the duties connected with the mis-
sion board work. He was formerly
general secretary of the mission board.
Election of Bishop Lloyd's successor
lies with the Virginia diocesan council,
of which Bishop Gibson is the head.
The council meets in annual session
next May in Winchester. but it is pos
sible that a special session of the coun-
Gil will be called to choose new coad-
tutor bishop.
Rev. DR.. Bergman Green is mention
ed as a probable successor in view OF
the fact that he was chosen bishop-cO-
adjutor prior to the election Of DIR.
Lloyd. but felt constrained to decline
the honor for personal and family rea-
sons. Whether these reasons would
still preclude his acceptance Of the
Office is a question on which his friends
are not willing to venture an opinion al
this time.
DR.. Lloyd's friends believe that he
will wait until the first Of the coming
year before giving up his duties in Nir-
ginia. Headquarters Of the mission
board are in New York.
Bishop Lloyd is at present a resident
of Alexandra.
