NO COATS OR HATS
 IN CHURCH

Paragould, July 19.-GSpecial)- Rev. w. c. McPherson, pa tor. of the First Baptist church, announced Sunday night to his congregation that during the summer months gentlemen would be welcome to his church in their shirt sleves, and ladies without hats. He says he can sympathize with his audience during the hot days, and he feels betters when preaching to coatless men and hatless women, because he knows they are more com fortable. Rev. McPherson will leave this week for Harrison, Tenn, to spend a month. During his absence his pulpit will be filled by Rev. c. A. Long, a Paragould boy, who is min isterial student in the Theological Seminary at Louisville.

COMMITTEE ORDERS
 NEW ELECTION

By vote of 13 to l., the State Democratic Central Committee last afternoon ordered the Smith-Carl Lee senatorial contest returned to Cross county to be settled by second pri- mary election called for the second Saturday in August, in general com pliance with the order of the State convention made at it's meeting here on June [.
 The action came as the climax of an entire afternoons deliberations, during which the proceedings, at times, bordered on the spectacular. At one stage it appeared as if personal encounter would result from state ments made on the floor of the com mittee room, but friends of both sides intervened.

NEGRO BRAKEMAN
 GETS IN BAD

A negro brakeman on the Iron
 Mountain, said to- be Wesley Graves, of the crew on train Mo- 157, the
 Southbound Iron Mountain freight train which passes through this city i about o'clock, caused a sensation in the local Iron Mountain yards yes- terday afternoon when he stood in the door of the caboose on his train and
 held at bay several white employees until his train had pulled out The
 negro was arrested when the train
 reached Dumas yesterday afternoon
 and reports last night stated that he would be brought to this city on the
 early passenger train this morning.
 It was reported that as Car Inspec- tor Duke was looking over the train
 the negro appeared to be displeased
 that the inspector should open the doors of empty cars. No other reason
 can be given for the negro's action, for this is the duty of the car inspec- tor and it is stated that he was do- ing nothing more. Graves is said to have followed the inspector with a large iron bolt until he reached the caboose of the train, where about six other employees were standing. The inspector joined the party and in a few seconds the negro appeared in
 the door of the caboose with large 44-caliber pistol and covered the

HAS BEEN SEEN
 BY THE INTERESTS

Whenever a man seeking office be- gins to scheme to beat the popular will it is time to put a close watch on him, for it leaves room for the suspicion that he has been seen by the interests which are not willing to take their chances along with other people but want special privileges for which they can afford to make 1t in- teresting to a few.-Monroe County Sun.

The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1910-11-23

You've heard your mother talk to
your sister about willow plumes?
Possibly she said she mustn't have
more than one of them because they
are 40 awfully expensive and that Ira
needed a new suit and Sue must have
q new frock for high school
Do you know where these expen-
sive plumes come from ? No? They
are plucked from bird called an o.
trich. And talking OF the ostrich. II
you could only see one of them you
would think he was "a bird"
The ostrich is really an African
bird, but some years ago ostrich
farms were started in southern Cali
fornia and Arizona with considerable
success. Imagine bird seven feet
tall and weighing more than 200
pounds, which means that an ostrich
is more than a foot taller than your
father and probably weighs more
than he does. Unlike human being
the male Of the ostrich Is much hand
somer than the female. The plumage
is black and the plumes or quilts on
the wings and tail are white.
Being a bird the ostrich must have
wings OF course, but the ostrich can
not fly. The wings assist it in run
ming and as runner 1t can beat any
other bird or animal An ostrich
ran run at the rate of 60 miles an
hour. And do you know what that
means? 1t means that 1t can beat al
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1910-11-23

most any express train. With an
even start for a 50-mile race it's al
ways safe to say the ostrich will win
a race against the train.
The ostrich has most powerful
pair OF legs and In fight 1t can de-
liver vicious kick almost equal TO
that of horse. The ostrich likes to
swallow stones and gravel and rather
enjoys the meal. When IL wants to
scare folks at night It's roar is like
the roar of lion.
And how would you like to have
couple OF ostrich eggs for break
fast? Tho contents of an ostrich egg,
which weighs about three pounds,
equal that OF two dozen hens eggs.
You can imagine what the ostrich
plume industry means when in Cape
Colony alone there are nearly 300, 900
ostriches on farms. And they are
profitable. too, for the birds undergo
their first plucking as soon as they
are six months old and new crops can
be gathered every seven months as
long as the ostrich lives. II you are
an adept at figures you can figure out
the profits for yourself. Each bird
on well-managed farm will yield
$50 to $50 worth of plumes year
They live so years and a family of
one male and two females will pro
duce about 175 eggs a year, four-ffths
OF which yield cute little yellow os-
trichlets.
