PRESCOTT'S MANY
FINE CHURCHES
Buildings are Costly and Substantial Ministers Talented
and Educated, Attendances Large and Steady.

The history of the religious orga-
nizations of Prescott is practically
co-equal with that of the town itself.
Among the earliest settlers were men
and women who held membership in
the churches of the older commune
ties from whence they came, and up
on their arrival in the forest settle
gate for the worship of God and for
the cultivation of their moral and re-
llgious instincts. These early set
Tiers gave freely of their means for
the establishment of churches, and
not long after the settlement was
made there were regular houses Of
public worship. Since that early day
the religious denominations have
been very active factors in the life of
the town. There has probably been
no more powerful factor in maintain
ing the high tone of the community
than the religious institutions. Such
influence as the church has had in
the life of Prescott can be attributed

Ample evidence that the citizens of
Prescott are today well provided for
in the matter of religious education
is afforded by the fact that the lead
ing churches are all represented
here, and each has fine church edi-

whole-souled disposition and believe

An Old Citizen of Prescott and Prom
inent and Capable Jeweler.

The first attempt to manufacture
clocks in America was made by Eli
Terry. a Connecticut Yankee, who
1892. In 1897 Chauncey Jerome Of
Massachusetts first applied machin-
cry to the making of metal wheeled
clocks. and as a result drove the
wooden wheels out of existence. The
manufacture of watches by mackin-
cry. which has since become such an
important industry, was begun at
Roxbury. Mass, in 1850, and in 1854
the factory was moved to Waltham.
In this life most of our movements
are governed by reference to watch
and there is just one thing demanded
of our watch-absolute accuracy.
Without this 1t is worse than a null
sance. The subject of this sketch,
Dio Lewis, is perhaps one of the most
capable and experienced jewelers. In

phis. Tenn. but has lived in Prescott
more than thirty-two years. when

later served two years In the famous
Elgin watch factory. where he be-

His long service at the bench has
given him a varied and valuable ex-

forty years, and today he Is truly an

clocks or anything in the jewelry
line. He carries a nice stock OF
goods for sale, and is located In the
millinery house Of Mrs. Shankle, on
Front street. As a citizen he Is the
owner of property. and holds an en-
viable reputation on account OF his

fears-Still Most Popular
House.

Any review of the business intel
ests OF the city of Prescott omittinc
the name of Mrs. A. Il. Shankle
would deal like the play of Hamlet
with Hamlet left out, and in speak
ing of this good lady We are almost
at loss for words, as there is not
much to be said that is unknown to
practically every lady of the commu-
nifty who has been here any length
of time. Mrs. Shankle was born In
Mississippi, but came to Arkansas at
the age of seven years, and settled
near the town of Princeton. Her
millinery business and the life OF
Prescott were born about the same
time, and words of comment are
seemingly unnecessary, especially to
people here. There has never been
a time in the history of her business
when she was not enjoying a most
gratifying trade and patronage, and
year after year she has been so par
ticularly fortunate in the selection
always maintained a high standard
OF modern excellence in hats, bon
nets. and all decorations for ladies
headwear. Miss Ora Tichenor, who
trimmed for her last year, will also
be With her this season and is now in
the market buying an unusually fine
showing of goods which will be a
treat to our ladies. Miss Tichenor,
it is admitted, is one of the best
trimmers that have ever visited the
city and patrons will be pleased to
learn of her return here. Mrs.
Shankle. although old in years, is IA
remarkably well preserved lady. and
today is in active charge of the
store. She is loved by our people as
an earnest christian lady and it is
the wish of all that she may long
continue in good health and the en-.
joyment of constant and steady
business.

An old-time philosopher once said,
"A scolding wife, an importunate
creditor and a dull razor are three
things to be avoided" but II this old
philosopher were now living in Pres
colt and a patron of either of the two
barber shops owned by our subject,
Jack McKelvey, he certainly would
not stand in fear of dull razor, for

or an up-to-date hair cut you can
get it done right at either the East
or West Side Barber Shops. Each

modern hydraulic Koken chairs, fine
mirrors, plenty of keen edged tools,
clean towels and three unusually
good BARRIERS. while in the rear OF
each shop is found fine bath rooms
with porcelain tubs etc, the East
Side being equipped for shower
