PICKINGS FROM PIKE
 COUNTY DIAMOND FIELD

MurfreeSboro, Ark, Feb. A. The beginning of the new year activity in all lines in old Pike county. Contracts are just sign ed with the Memphis Bridge Company, whereby it builds two modem n steel bridges costing in the aggregate $18,000.00, work to commence soon and both to be completed in Septem Der of this year. One of the bridges will span the Little Missouri river a few miles west of MurfreesborO, which will enable farmers from the western and southern end of the county to reach the county seat when the river is not ford able. The other bridge will cross the Caddo river d short distance from GlenWood, a thriving town in the northeastern part of the county.
 The diamond interests of Pike county are in a somewhat more encouraging state state as to speedy development, than for some time past. All companies operating in the field arc busy at work and are making prepar atiOnS to uncover enough of "Perodite" to make a more thor ough examination of the depth of the diamond bearing dirt and permit of a speedy treatment that will bring out all the values. The work now being done is of more permanent nature than ever before, costly machinery is being placed. Summer will find a large force of men at work.
 The new town of Kimberly is going some" those days. At last accounts, new bank building of brick made at Kimberly under construction, a three.story hotel building nearly completed, several brick business houses under contract, a number of new residences built and under contract, and the good people of that lively town, not to be benind in any good work, have recently applied to the County c)lrt for incorporation.

THE CELEBRATION.
It was a glorious day.

1t was a glorious day.
Perth Amboy had a real celebra-
ton.
From 6 O'Clock in the morning un-
til 1920 o'clock at night there was
something doing.
There was hardly an hour during
che entire day that the sound of
martial music was not heard in one
part of the city or the other, and
sometimes in all parts at once.
The children, for whom the cele-
bration was primarily arranged, had
a fine time. They all celebrated
alike, rich and poor, and they made
the best of it. No one will deny that
they had a far better time as it was
than if they had been playing with
fire all day.
The parade was all that was said
of it and more.
Thousands of people gathered
along the line of march and cheered
and a~pplauded. There was plenty
of music and the paraders from the
school children to the veterans.
marched admirably. The West
minister Cadets, the boys of the
Danish Sociable Athletic Club, the
lodges, the Red Men in their war
paint and feathers, the many for
eign societies with their gorgeous
banners and handsome flags, the
ttrube' band, the floats and the gro
tesque left nothing to be desired.
The procession was handled excel
Iently. Grand MaEshaLL1TTTg is to
oe congratulated.
I To many persons, the speaking in
the afternoon was the best feature.
II truly was a patriotic occasion and
ERFHNN
n long to be remembered.
The day was brought to an appro-
pirate close with the fireworks on
the Bluff. 1t was a beautiful dis
play and the thousands that gathered
along the water front applauded and
cheered.
ysafe and sane" Fourth Of
was a decided success in Perth
Amboy. Again we congratulate
Mayor Bollschweiler for the stand
he took in regard to the celebration.
There is every reason why the same
kind of a celebration should be ar
ranged next year and every year
thereafter.
1t is true the day was not entirely
free of the bang of irecrackers. 1t
was not to be expected that we would
escape altogether, especially when
the idea OF a safe and sane" cele-
bration has not taken root In the
neighboring towns. The vast num-
Der of visitors here yesterday will
carry the good work home, and we
believe that the good time in Perth
Amboy yesterday will influence many
other places to try the same kind of
q celebration next year,
The newspapers today dc not be-
gin to have the list of casualties that
rare usss4. aa hemorning after"
This. u Believe. is due to the safe
and sane" celebrations that have
been adopted by SO many cities
throughout the country,
1t was truly a great day for Perth
Amboy. The Fourth of July really
had some meaning. The safe and
sane" idea should be continued.
