MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT
ORDERED
Let the Good Work Go On

The city council at its meeting
Tuesday night June 18th voted
to have the school board put in
a new concrete walk around the
Graded and High School building.
This will be good news to the
large number of people who pass
over it. The walk there now has
been positively disreputable for
several years and only the fact
that the district was in debt
caused the board to with he Id or
dering the new walk.
Yandell, Gray and Orme voted
against the measure.
Num-, Venner and Crider vot-
ed for it making a tie, which our
enterprising mayor soon united
by voting for it.

Captured Third Time
Arbor Day Spade Comes To Crit.
tenden Again to Spend
Summer

When the Marion boys return
ed from the state University
last week they brought with
them the historic old Arbor day
spade which makes the third
time it has spent the summer in
Crittenden county.
The spade was made by the
Mechanical Engineering depart
ment Of State University when
the custom was started years
ago for each Senior class to plant
tree on Arbor day and then
the Senior C ASS Ora t o r
turns the spade over to I h e
Junior Class Orator who receives
it in behalf of the Junior class
and keeps it until the following
year when it is again turned over
to the following Junior class with
appropriate ceremonies.
In 1906 the spade was first
brought to Crittenden county by
B. T. Towery an old Marion
High School boy and who was
orator of the Junior class.
In 1908 it was again brought
to Crittenden county by V. Y.
Moore who was the unanimous
choice of the Junior class for or
ator.
This year the spade was brought
to the already renowned Critten-
den county by N. G.. Rochester
who duplicated the feat of Mr..
Moore and was the only class Of
ficer of the Junior elected by
reclamation.
The custody of the spade for
one year is considered quite an
honor and every county in the
state considers themselves for.
tunate to have il at least once and
Crittenden the most fortunate of
them all has had it for the third
time.

Ancient Needle Factory?

The discovery of prehistoric
needle factory at prehistoric lake vii.
iage near Glastonbury. England,
reused much interest recently. The
dwellings were placed on mounds OF
clay raised above the level Of the wa
ter. The framework of primitive
loom was found under one mound. and
the number of broken bone needles
and bone splinters discovered in an
other mound led the explorers to think
that It may have been the site of an
ancient needle factory.
