BRIakLEY W0Mah'S WORK.

When it comes to inspiring and directing in the making of the city beautiful there is no agency or influence so potent as that of the women.
 Men who do not go about can t realize just how great a work the progressive women are doing in the boosting and pushing the growing, prospering towns and cities of even Arkansas.
 Down at Stuttgart, which by the way is said to be one of the most wonderfully prosperous towns in all Arkansas, the Wo- mems Civic Improvement League is known to be adding thousands of dollars to the value of the city property by their splendid work.
 In Brinkley, we have the ad- vantages, we have the women with brains, energy and home loyalty and they even have an organization but there hasn't been united effort yet in this work. Now 1t behooves each and every man, woman and child nn Brinkley to get busy and join in this work. There will always be some petty personal preju- dices by those who never do any thing themselves and never want any one else to do but this sshouldn't hinder in the least.
 Every preacher, teacher, law yer, doctor, wife, daughter, son. sister, brother and sweetheart ought to yoke up in the Civic Improve ment League work anS let's make Brinkley the ideal resident city of the entire rice belt.

against itself cannot stand, neither can a city divided and without harmony successfully stand and achieve the vlctories that it could otherwise. Thus how important it is to lay aside the faults of others and remedy our own, and then stand and feel interested as a whole.

This is cur city. As it were, we are a large family, so let us all work to build up the interest of our city morally, intellectually, physically and Financially, let us harmonize into one loyal spirit that we may live peacefully .and happily together, each esteemlng

 Robert Hughen and Miss Ellie Beedle, of near Rag Town, sur prised the people last Sunday by driving over to Palmer Station and getting married at 6 o'clock. We wish them much happiness.
 The glorious fourth is over and one of the biggest crowds or colored people that ever gather ed in this town. The big picnic with about forty barbecued hogs and there was one hundred gal Ions of ice cream put off the train that morning, also one hun dred and fifty cases of soda pop. The crowd numbered more than two thousand. There were base ball games, races, and two splen- did brass bands and a string band. There was little shower about noon but the crowd still came, and the afternoon was bright and fair until four o'clock when a great down pour of ram caused the crowd to hunt shelt- CT. but the crowd was so great that many were dripping wet when the five o'clock train came, carrying many back to Claren- don, but still the streets throng- ed until late at night. We can safely say it was the most peace full crowd of it's size ever gather ed in so small a place, altho' late in the afternoon there was a little shooting scrape, one man shot at another, the bullet pass ing through the shoulder pad ding of his coat and striking a colored woman in the wrist.

l VIII yOQ GtNt iiiS SPcN ~ HI ON'i valuable paper to advance a few thoughts on the subject Of the
 NECESSITY OF HARMoNY.
 Will say, uniformity of pur- pose, coupled with harmony in action produces strength, and results in power. So to be sue cessful we should possess spirit of harmony, work and operate in friendship, agree on facts and unite when our great common ln- terest is involved. Harmony brings together and systemati- cally formulates into one body the elements of power, then with the united concert of action in and through our citizenship great achievements can be wrought and victories won. Without harmony discord will exist, and the body of power will be severed and the result a failure. The successful town or city, either morally, politically, financially or commercially, IS the one that is systematically or ganized and operates together with such harmony that the masses seem to be on voice, one vote, and one common interest of all.
 So harnonize as a whole, so that no petty ideas of individuals or foreign influences can be brought to bear, to disrupt and destroy the spirit of unity that exist. Factionalism and per sonal determination to lead, or remain neutral will effect the harmony in a systematic orga- nization and finally result in dis ruption. To be successful the inhabitants must work in har- mony, considering each others interest as the commoh interest of all, defend our city, speak of it's good qualities, and lets have no evil ones to speak of, let's be so united in brotherly esteem, and dwell in such mutual har- mony that we will speak i'll or harshly of no citizen, but if we have to speak evil of any one let's examine ourselves and then speak. If any one has aught against another let him or her take the mantle of mercy and spread over that ones name, and then say all 1 freely forgive, then remember nor speak of it any more, but speak well of them for you are no longer their enemy.
 Prejudice or i'll feeling should not exist in any breast for fear it will disqu alify that one for ef fectual usefulness. The differ ent churches if they effect the purpose and do the work God in- tended for them to do must pos sess the spirit of our Christ, which is sacrificing love, for bearing friendship being harmo- nized and congenial as one parental family, being void of malice or i'll will or the least in- clinatlon to proselyte or harm the other, but should work to- gether in Christian harmony moved and actuated by the spirit and that degree of universal love for others as their own, for this is in accord with royal teaching.
 A city to be successful and cope with other cities and fac tions politically or otherwise the citizenship must be harmonized, united and stand together as the voice of one conservative man, for the influence of the kickers will be manifested and felt in and through their criticism and contentious which creates divis- ion, works discord and results in defeat. For truthfully a greater one has said that a house divided
