Seeking SOlumOn's Grave

Under the leadership of Captain Park
er, an archaeological expedition left
London on the 18th for Jerusalem to
continue the work of the last two wears
on the site of the ancient Zion, with the
view of discovering the burial places of
David and Solomon.
Captain Parker, a brother of Earl
Morley, was in command of the expedi-
ton In which the Duchess of Marlbo-
rough was said to be interested. and
which got into disfavor recently with
the Turkish government and Moslem
authorities, who accused the excava-
tors of desecrating the sacred MOSQUE
of Omar. The second in command Is
Clarence Wilson, and the party was
completed by the addition of a number
of English laborers.
The expedition sailed on Wilson's
yacht to Jaffa, from which port it will
travel to Jerusalem. On arrival there
the excavators will resume work in the
underground passages on Mount Ophel.
This mount is now a cabbage garden.
which supplies Jerusalem with vegeta-
bies, but in ancient times it was SUD-
posed to be the site of the biblical Zion.
The work, which will be directed from
the headquarters of the expedition at
Sloan, will be supervised by Turkish
government inspectors, specially select
ed by the imperial authorities at Con-
stantinople.

BARBECUE AND PIC-
 MIG BIG SUCCESS

One of the largest crowds that has been in Prescott this year attended the big barbecue and nicnic at the city park here to- day.
 This big picnic and barbecue was given by Geo. B. Blevins, general agent for the Mis- sissip- nj Valley Life Insurance Com uany. Several thousand pounds of beef, pork and mutton had been cooked last night and an abundance of bread and other pdibles prepared and all who at tended enjoyed a rare feast.
 Hon. T. c. McRae spoke on the value of old line life insurance, laying special stress on the prin- ,ipal of insurance rather than any special insurance company. He also called attention to the fact that any corporation or business concern that amounts to any thing has to be insured
 
 The time has come when we have as good insurance companies here in Arkansas as anywhere in the world, and people should invest in these companies. Every state and ev cry community must look to its own people for support in financial matters.
 Continuing Mr. McRae said By investing money at home and studying economy the peo- pie will be able to bring the in- terest rate on money to five or six per cent as it is in the east ern states. In investing one should first consider the surety of the company and if there are as good companies in the state as elsewhere, by all means invest in home companies"
 Quite an interesting and in-
