CLEBURNE COUNTY
REUNION AUG. SO

Heber Springs, June 22.-At a
meeting held at the courthouse on
Monday the old soldiers of Cleburne
county decided to hold their annual
reunion this year, and set August 8
and as the dates. These reunions
have been held at Heber every year
for the past 20 years, and have al
ways been largely attended, and while
lit is hard on many of the old veterans
to hold these reunions, it was decided
to continue holding them. Many of
the old soldiers have passed to their
reward since the last reunion and the
number is being rapidly thinned, and
at best we cannot hope to have them
with US many more years. We hope
every one will lend all assistance pos
sible to make this, which in all proba-
bility may be the last one held, the
best we ever had. They are arrang-
ing a good program, which will be
published soon, and all who come will
be royalty entertained.

MOVEMENT STARTED
FOR WATERWORKS
H E B Err SPRING CITIZENS
HOLD MASS MEETING TO
DISCUSS MATTER.

A mass meeting was held at the
Hotel Adrian Tuesday night for the
purpose of arranging to get water
works and sewerage system for He
Der. Committees were appointed to
carry out the preliminary work and
to get an approximate price for MAX
ing the survey and estimating the
cost of this improvement. The time
has come when Heber must have wat
erworks and sewerage system and we
need put it off no longer. We are
losing many industries because we
have not got these things. 1t is all
the more important that We act quick
ly now, for in short time the rail-
road company will decide on some
town where they will build their
shops, and we have been reliably in
formed that they will not consider a
town where there is no waterworks
system. They have recently secured
the money to put in the shops, and
it means too much for the future of
Heber to let this opportunity pass.
Another meeting will be held next
Monday night, at which it is hoped to
have a larger crowd.-Heber Springs

do you remember what Mrs. Gregs
wore at that reception of yours two
years ago?" asked Mrs. Crane.
NO" replied Mrs. Chase, but re
member what she said. After most O.
the others had made the usual polite
remarks and gone away, Mrs. Grege
came up, and putting out her hand
said, with her refreshing sincerity:
You've given me a good afternoon
| and now l must bid you one"
That Is why asked you," said Mrs
| Crane, with interest Although I've
met Mrs. Gregg 100 times, | cannot re-
| member distinctly what she wore at
any time; but can remember so many
things that she has said and just how
she looked when she said them
81 remember once" continued Mrs.
Crane, after recital by Miss Patillo,
the women crowded round her and
said all sorts of inane things in the
effort to impress the pianist with their
knowledge and love of music Miss
Patillo received their compliments in
polite tired way. Then Mrs. Gregg
came up, took the girls hand in both
hers, and said:
My dear, l don't know anything
about music, but when you played |
imagined | was girl again in a field
of wild daisies
AT once the pianists eyes lighted
with pleasure, and there was real
gratitude in her Thank you,' and the
pressure of her hand"
And I'll venture" said Mrs. Chase,
that if you asked her today about
that recital, the only thing she would
remember would be Mrs. Gregg and
her field of daisies.
1T is not that she says startling
things" continued Mrs. Chase. "She
does not try to be odd or witty, but
she always succeeds in putting things
freshly. Can you imagine her saying,
1T was such success, Miss Watts!'
I've had perfectly delightful time,
Mrs. Coombs?'"
Il remember" said Mrs Crane, with
laugh, that one summer Mrs. Gregg
was at our house party in the noun
tains. One evening, after watching
the sunset, she turned suddenly to me-
DO you know what l was thinking,
Mrs. Crane?' she answered.
NO l answered
az was thinking she said with q
smile, how glad l am that l lost my

Why? | asked, curiously.

my mother would not have sent me
to the store for another and if l
hadn't gone to the store should never
have met Lizzie Smith, who happened
to be there with her aunt; and if l
had never met Lizzie l should never
have known you-and SO | shouldn't
be here now"
Both women laughed appreciatively.
Il know many women" said Mrs.
Chase, who are more striking to look
at, many with finer clothes, and some
with keener wits, but Mrs. Gregg says
the word you want to hear"
And 1t is something more than a
word" replied Mrs. Crane There's
the genuine feeling behind the word.
She really enjoys things-with her it
Is not matter of showing her clothes,
of paying social obligations, or making
friends. That, / suppose, is why she

one 10 prove otherwise. In the afternoon
yesterday he issued the following state

Further than this I most emphaticaily
state that we had no authentic informs-

go p. m. (evening) on Monday, April Is,
which information was promptly given TO
