TO ASK EXTENSION
 OF TAX PAYING

Following the announcement yes terday that Governor Donaghey had issued proclamation granting an ex- tension of 30 days for the payment of taxes in St. Francis county, on ac- count of the backward season, a movement to request similar ex- tension for Faulkner county was started here today. Sheriff J. S. Johnson said today that at least one third of the receipts are yet to be made out, and it will be physical i'm possibility for the collectors force to complete the work by April 10. In addition to this, a large number of taxpayers have been prevented by the overhows from coming to Conway this week and it will now be almost impossible for them to reach here by next Wednesday, the last day for tax paying.
 If sufficient number of signers are secured, a petition requesting an ex- tension of time will be presented to the governor within few days.

INTEREST IN BAPTIST
 REVIVAL CONTINUES

The ordinance of baptism will be administered to about half dozen candidates at the Baptist church to- night, after the sermon. Others will be baptized Sunday night, and yet others will be baptized later.
 The meetings continue each night this week with unabated interest. One of the members of the church said yesterday that Pastor Hurt was preaching some of the strongest re- vival sermons he had ever heard here. Tonight the subject of the sermon will be, Drawing the Dead Line" This was anonunced for one night last week, but was postponed.
 Up to the present time there have been between 55 and 60 professions of faith, and 31 have been received in- to the membership of the church. Others are presenting themselves for church membership at each service. It is probable the metings will close Sunday.
