HOT WEATHER HURTS
TRADE IN GROCERIES

Although the unusual mildness of
the present winter may be appreciat-
ed by a majority of the people, the
groceryman is one whom it does not
at all please. The reason is a sim
pie one, yet it would perhaps never
occur to the average person. 1t is
that people simply eat less in warm
weather than they do in cold. I'm
moderately warm weather, such as
we have been experiencing" said To-
cal grocer this morning, "tends to de-
stroy ones appetite and he does not
relish his food and does not require so
much as when the temperature is nor
NAL. Cool weather, on the other hand,
sharpens the appetite, and cold
wave is always accompanied by a
brisk trade in the grocery line"
The same conditions, it is stated,
apply to meat markets, but the worse
sufferer is probably the fuel dealer.
1t is believed that a low estimate of
the difference in the consumption of
coal and wood for heating purposes
would be one-thrd less than was con-
sumed during last winter.

new DEPOT At
LAST IN SIGHT
AGREEMENT Is REACHED
PUBLIC SQUARE TO BE CLEAR
ED OF ALL EXCEPT NEW
STATION.

A new passenger station and a
clean, attractive public square is at
least in sight. After months Of ne
gotiations between the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern Railway
Company AN agreement has been
reached whereby, in consideration of
the donation of about $4,000 worth of
land for freight house and sidetraek
purposes by the citizens, the railroad
company will remove all its buildings,
platforms, sheds and sidetracks from
the public square and erect a hand
some new brick passenger station in
the center of the square, on the west
side of the present tracks.
The freight depot and all unloading
tracks will be removed to long strip
of land lying on the west side of the
main tracks from the College avenue
crossing south. J. K. Saunders and
daughter, Mrs. Georgia Hendrickson,
own II lots of the property, and Capt.
w. w. Martin, who has been leading
the movement to secure the vacation
of the square and a new depot, has
secured from them an option on these
lots at 81 400. An additional block of
ground will be donated by Martin &
Harton. Capt. Martin is today Sc
curing subscriptions from the busi-
ness men of the city to raise the
money for the purchase of the !Saun-
ders property, and it is thought sufii-
cient funds will easily be secured.
The plans now proposed by the rail
road company will, it is believed, be a
great advantage to the city in every
way. The new passenger station,
which will be the only buhding of any
description inside of the square, is to
be modern brick of sufficient size to
take care of the growth of the city
for years to come and will be an orna-
ment to the town. Only two tracks
will pass through the square and cars
will be on these only when the trains
are passing through. With the re-
moval of the unsightly sheds, bins,
platforms and sdetracks, the square
may easily be beautified and made one
of the most attractive plots of ground
in the city.
A letter to Capt. Martin, General
Manager A. w. Sullivan, after outlin-
ing the proposal, states that if it is
accepted work on the new improve
ments will be taken up Immediately
He stated formerly that the improve
ments contemplated here would in
volve an expenditure of over 100000.

pected that after his address an or
ganization will be effected here.

these lines in the south.
The meeting will begin promptly at
1880 O'Clock. and will be held in the
Sunday school auditorium. Later on
the meetings will probably be held
just before preaching services each
Sunday evening, and will be conduct
ed in the mems bible class room.

SENATOR White
LIKES CONWAY

Senator White of Logan county, a
member of the present general as
sembly, was the guest of Senator A.
c. Martin here yesterday, arriving
on the morning train. The afternoon
was spent in drive over the city and
Senator White was delighted with the
of Conway. He said our
public buildings were among the best
in the state, and that there were more
pretty residences here than he had
seen in any other city the same size
of Conway. He was well impressed
with the State Normal building and
new girls dormitory, and thinks the
city deserves much credit for what
she gave towards securing one of the
leading educational institutions of the
state.

VISITING COMMITTEE
TO BE HERE THIS WEEK

Senator A. c.. Martin stated here
yesterday that the joint committee
appointed by the legislature to visit
the State Normal school would prob
ably come to Conway Friday or Sat
urday of this week. There are six
members on the committee, which is
composed of Senators Phillips and
Rasco and Representatives Burns,
Partain, McGeehee and Martin of Gle
burne, and it is probablRthat they
will be accompanied by several other
senators and representatives who de-
sire to visit the institution here. Ar
rangements will be made by local cit
izens for the entertainment of the
committee while here.

HENDRIX Will
PLAY CROSFTT

Arrangements for two basketball
games to be played next Friday and
Saturday at Crossett between the
high school of that city and Hendrix
college of Conway have been consum-
mated and enthusiasm among the To-
cal players is at a high pitch this
week. Crossett is said to have one of
the fastest teams in the state and
have won several games this season.
Hendrix, so far, has had no chance
to show the real strength of her team,
but expects to do so in the games to
be played with Crossett. A large
number of students will probably ac-
company the team on the trip.

DISTINGUISHED PIANIST
TO BE HERE WEDNESDAY

Music lovers of Conway and vicin-
ity have a treat in store this week, on
account of this visit to the city of
Ernest Bayne Manning, the concert
pianist of New York city, who ap-
pears at Central college Wednesday
night at $3.50 o'clock, the attraction
being the seventh in the course pro-
vided by the combined lyceum associa-
tion of the local educational institu-
tions. Mr.. Manning has studied four
years with Mcdowell of New York,
two years with Godowsky in Pei lin
and two years with Bouer and rlil.
lippe in Paris. He comes highly rec.
commended by Prof. F. A. Baars of
Little Rock, director of music in Cen
trail college, who states that this un-
doubtedly be the best opportunity to
hear a noted pianist in this city for
some time and that music lovers can
not afford to miss the opportunity.
Several music classes from Morrilton,
Plumervile and other neighboring
towns are preparing to come and hear
Manning. The admission to this at
traction will be only 50 cents, though
If the distinguished pianist had been
secured alone it would have been ne
cessary to charge 81 or more.

CONWAY IS PAID
A HIGH TRIBUTE
Or. HARTzOC'S ADDRESS
"a GOOD TOWN TO LIVE IN" is
HEARD BY LARGE AND AP-
APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE.

A body of men that well nigh filled
the large auditorium of the First Bap-
tist church heard President II. S.
Hartzog of Arkadelphia deliver an
address yesterday afternoon on "A
Good Town to Live In." This was the
third number in the couse of "Onee-
a-Month Meetings for Men" which
have been arranged by Rev. J. j.
Hurt, pastor of the church. 1t was
announced that on the first Sunday
afternoon in March Congressman Joe
r. Robinson of Lonoke will speak;
and that two weeks hence an extra
number in the course will be given by
Dr.. J. S. Shibley, superintendent of
the Arkansas tuberculosis sanitarium,
who will speak on "Humanity's Call
to Humanity"
President Hartzog presented statis-
ties to show that more and more peo-
pie are moving from the country in
to the towns and cities, and asserted
that because of this fact the problem
of government today is chiefly the
problem of city government. "Yet, !"
said he, at is just at this point of
city government that no less an au-
thority than Ambassador James
Bryce has declared the American peo-
pie have failed"
DR.. Hartzog expressed the opinion
that a very small group of patriotic,
determined citizens can always con-
troll the development of city; pro-
vided they take hold in time and do
not give up He thought men ought
to give themselves unselfishly to the
solution of difficult problems of city
government just as men give them
selves to the religious and educational
uplift of communities. "On the 9TH
er hand" he said, 'it is the hardest
thing in the world to find town or
city with even one competent, re-
sourceful, sacrificing citizen who is
willing to serve as mayor for the
good he may do"
In speaking of the Importance of
cooperation as an element in upbuild-
ing the interests of city, DR.. Hart
zog paid a high compliment to Con-
way, declaring that it is known all
over the state that whenever the peo-
pie of Conway seek to do a worthy
thing they strive all together, and
this harmonious, cooperative spirit
has already made it one of the most
attractive little cities in the land.
The German custom of having pro
fessional mayors, he thought to be
not a bad one. "Why should there not
be professional mayors, serving first
one city and then another, just as
there are professional college presi-
dents and superintendents of public
utilities?" He expressed himself as
being decidedly in favor of the COM
mission form of government, because
by this means it is possible to get the
very best business talent for the solu-
ton of great business and economic
questions.
Vervian G. Craig favored the au-
dience with a pleasing vocal number
and Prof Rennison of Hendrix col
| lege presided at the piano.

SHOOTS HIS LITTLE PLAYMATE.
Eight -Year.OId Boy in Jail-Victlm
Only Nine.

Spartanburg, Jan. 20.-Pretty little
Lois Wright, aged years, was shot
and perhaps fatally injured, by her
S-year-old playmate, Carl Haynes, at
Drayton mills, this morning. The Wea-
pom used was a shotgun and an entire
load took effect in the left shoulder OF
the little girl. The flesh was terribly
mutilated and slight chances are held
out for her recovery.
The children were playing together
this morning, as usual, and a childish
quarrel arose over some trivial mat
ter. The youth, who had stolen away
his fathers shotgun, said to Lois: i
am going to shoot you" Becoming
frightened, the girl started to run
away, but before she could the weapon
had been discharged. She was brought
to this city and carried TO a hospital,
where a brave fight against death
and against all odds is being made.
Carl was also brought to the CITY
and placed in the county Jail, to await
developments in the condition of Lois.
It was sad sight to see the wee little
fellow follow the State officials from
the Office of *'Good" Magistrate Kirby,
where he had received so much SYM
pathy, to the cold, dreary cell Of the
prison. The shooting, which was hop
ed at first to have been accidental, IS
said by those living art Drayton, to
have been an intentional and dellbfr-
ate act on the part Of the boy. Carts
general reputation at the mill is not
ono to be, envied, it seems, and older
persons have looked on him as bad
boy.
In the. preliminary bearing this
tmorning, the boy only said: II didn't
mean to kill her. J. Fred Wright is
the father OF the little girl, while
Carl's father is W. D. Haynes. Re-
ports from the hospital state that the
condition of little Lois is very Ee-
rious, \".'.
