Arcadia Items.

Ihere was some good news In
circulation last Monday. 1t was
that the tabernacle on Epworth
League Encampment grounds
would be built and ready for use
by the Goth of July, and that the
board of trustees had decided to
spend about SIS, 900 in the improve O.
ment of the grounds during the
coming summer.
Messrs. G.. w. Clarkson and R.,
D. Lewis we're in Arcadia last
Sunday, and it is said that both
these gentlemen expressed very
optimistic visions as to the future
of the Methodist Encampment
grounds.
We hear that the Dunkins are to
return to their summer home in the
valley at an early date.
Our school has been closed this
week on account of prevalence OF
the measles. No fatal or very Sc
rious cases are reported.
Louis Miller has had his Office
building opposite the post Office
nicely painted. How little paint
does help every thing except a
woman's face.
Garden making is epidemic in
Arcadia, and how the average
small boy does long to use all the
fishworms that are being wasted
as chicken feed.
1t is said that Holloman Bros,
of Hogan, will build their bunga-
low on Epworth Hills right away.
We understand that Mr.. Miller has
made the plan for it.

Josie Holloman, of Hogan. is quite
sick with measles. We hope to
hear of her speedy recovery.
English sparrows are a nuisance
that must be abated. They are
destroying the early gardens in

We are glad to see our friend
Mike Madigan, about his usual
business. He looks much better
than he did before he was sick
but he says he is not quite as
stout as 4-year-old mule yet.
Forty-fve thousand dollars is
the latest account of the county
deficiency. If somebody doesn't
hurry up and audit those books
the deficiency is liable to get as
large as the capital stock of the
"Sky- Garden of the Ozarks.' u
Wouldn't it be awful if that de-
ficiency should absorb a part Of
that capital stock?
Mrs. John Whitworth has SC
far recovered from spell of sick
ness as to be up again. She has
been quite sick.
A trip to the proposed site of the
big dam at the lower Shut-In last
Saturday revealed the fact that
about thirty acres had been
"chopped off" and quite number
of men were chopping. We un-
derstand that engineers are out
there this week getting facts from
which to make estimates for the
construction of the dam.
And now, our pusher engines
have to 60 to Bismarck to get Goa
and most of the coal shovelers
here are out of a job, and it is
rumored that the pushers are to be
stationed one at Piedmont and the
other at Bismarck and double.
head between those places and
stop this pushing business. Life
is change.
Mrs. Langdon and daughters
Maude and Tenny, are at Ho'
