Now that the meetings are over, let
everybody get interested in the Sunday
school work. 1t is a fact that is noticeable
'thatduring protracted meeting season the
Sunday schools in rural communities suf-
fer from lack of attendance. and often
times from lack of interest ,on the part
of those who do attend Most of US have
taken a pledge to do cur duty as best
we can; and part of our duty iscon-
nected with Sunday work. We may get
up excuses that will satisfy ourselves
and stay away; but the Lord knoweth
our hearts. The devil is behind every
neglected duty. And often it is not the
thing we've done, but what we've left
undone that weakens our characters. By
living a life of inactivity we become
weak, and consequently an easy prey for
the devils snares. We have two good
Sunday schools, superintendent by men who
really have the interest of the young
people at heart, and it is the duty of
eyerv parent to assist them in every way.
So let every one see that your children
are at Sunday school next Sunday and
that their parents 60 with them.

WILL MINE DIAMONDS
Little Rock Capitalists Return From
Europe Where They Nave Pur-
chased Machinery for Pike
County fields

Little Rock, Ark, July 24-Sam
w. Reyburn, president of the
Arkansas Mining Company. Albert
ID. Coin, Chas S. Stiff and John
T. Fuller of the same company
have returned from England where
they went to purchase machinery
for developing the Pike county
diamond mines, near Murfreesboro.
President Reyburn refuses to dis.
cuss the trip IN any way whatsoever,
ex cept to say that the company de-
sired to purchase from the English
manufacturers the forms or patterns
of machinery they desired TO use in
America and have the machinery
cast in this country IN order to es-
cape the payment of the express and
the duty on this machinery.
Whether this was done cannot be
stated at this time but it is believed
that this will be the plan pursued.
London fnanciers have purchased
., 66999 81 stock stock of f the e company
according to reports in this city,
but Pres. Reyburn will not discuss
that feature Of the trip, either.
That the development of the mine
will be undertaken within a short
time appears to be certain now
however.
