The Times inadvertently erred last week in stating that the dynamo at the City Light Plant which was put out of business by lightning running in on it couple of weeks ago, would be repaired and running in short while. The machine is still out of commission, and Supt. Chilner inform US that the job of rewinding the coils that have been burnt out is a long ana tedious one, and that all haste possible is being made to get the machine In running order again. In the meantime the little machine is doing double duty, running twenty four hours day. seven days week and as consequence the city has been without street lights since the acci- dent happened

STOMACH TROUBLES
Cured By Vinol-Here is Proof

Seymour, 1nd-'I was troubled with a chronic stomach trouble, and five weeks ago it got so bad had to give up work. I had tried various medi- cines without relief, and was finally induced to try Vinol After taking the first bottle I was greatly benefited. Am now on the third bottle and ready to resume work Am rapidly gaining in weight and strength" Edw. Nie- man.
 It is the curative medicinal ele- ments of the cods' flyers, combined with the strengthening properties of tonic iron contained in Vinol which makes it so successful in restoring perfect digestion and at the same time it builds up the tired, over worked and rundown system.
 Try a bottle of vinol with the un- derstanding that your money will be returned If 1t doas not help you.

Visits Wilson Break.

MT. Eugene Williams, treasurer of the St. Francis Levte Board, accom- panied by Judge F. A. Rofe, member of the board, went over to Memphis Tuesday morning to join other mem oers of the board and Governor Dona- ghey, in an inspection trip of the leVeeS in the destlict going up as far as the Wilson crevasse in gasoline boat, and intending to stop on their way back to inspect the creyasse at St Claire. This was prevented, how ever, by the fact that too much time was taken up in making the up-river trip, and 1t was dark by the time they reached the latter point that night.
 Members Of the party making the trip were:
 Governor Donaghey, 0. N. Killough, Williams, Treasurer: Judge k. A. Rolfe, Hon. Fletcher Roleson, of Ma rianna; II. A. Block, Of Wynne: II A. Morrison and Mir. Halfer, of Crit tendon county; and Jack Mcdonald, of Helena, all members of the board, and MT. Lee Wilson, of Memphis, who owns plantation on which the break occurred, and after whom the town Wilson, is named
 MT. Williams, speaking of the trip, said the sight at the creyasse was an awful and awe-inspiring spec tacle. He says that the break is about four thousand feet across, and that at that time the water was pouring through it like a mill race. He also stated that the crevasse water was turning directly south and flowing down along the inside of the levee line, thus, it is thought, ac. counts for the rise at Edmondson Hulburt and other points east.

RISE IS NEARLY OVER.
Mississippi River should Begin to Fall
 Sometime Saturday.

The rise in the Mississippi river i nearing the crest at Memphis 1 stage Of slightly above 39 feet vii probably be registered on the loea gauge tomorrow, after which tn river should begin to fall
 The stage here yesterday morning was 3o.7 feet, rise Of 03 of foot il tive nty-four hours. Last night al o'clock the stage was 3s.s rise ol o.l Of a foot in twelve hours.
 The fall in the river, when it be gi ns, will probably be very slow fol several days. Very little change is ex. pected here from Saturday 10 Monday morning. After that the fall will bt around 0.3 10 o.5 of foot a day for a week
 Slight rises have originated in d itlerent parts Of the Ohio river dur ing the last several days, and these, while not causing rise in the river at any point below Cairo, will materi- ally decrease the rate at which the river would faii without the water from these rises
 The fall in the river at Cairo con- tinues Go be slow, owing to water from tie Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, as well as one or two local rises in the Ohio. Another local rise between Evansville and Paducah yes terday morning will check the rate of fall at Cairo.
 The gauge at Cairo yesterday morn ing registered stage of 4S feet, fall of 0.5 of foot in twenty-four hours This is the greatest fall since the crest was reached there.
 The river at Helena rose O. of 3 foot in the twenty-four hours up to : o'clock yesterday morning to a stage of 4o.7 feet. The rise there will con tinue for six or seven days. A stage of about 50 feet will be reached
 Should the river there reach 90 feet, Maj. Clarke s. Smith, corps of engin- eers, L. $. A, will place a patrol on the levee, to report any trouble How ever, Maj. Smith does not anticipate much trouble from the present rise, a-s the leyee 2t and below Helena has already Withstood stage of 54 feet on the Helena gauge.
 The St. Francis river has continued falling all the week, with the excep- tion of stationary stage being noted there Wednesday and Thursday, the guage standing at 3Tl on both days mentioned. The reading this mora ing at | o'clock, however, showed that the fall had again set in, it registering 36.9 feet, fall of tHo-tenth for the 24 hours ending then.
 The water from Round Pond east rose during the week, and at Mounds and points between there and EAil- burt 1t got over the rails of the Rock Island, delaying their trains some what and causing serious fears of the tracks being washed out. However, there has been no cessation of train service
 Numbers of the refugees are reburn- ing to their homes, and the outlook is decidedly brighter

SECRETARY BOOTH HERE.
Meeting Held to Explain Objects of Arkansas Packing Association
 Largely Attended.

Two very agreeable visitors for several days this week, at the home of MT. and Mrs. l.. k. Grobmyer, were Mr ]. N. Booth and wife, of Pine Bluff. Socially they made many friends here who will accord them a warm welcome should they come again.
 Mir. Booth is secretary of the Ark ansas Packing Co, a chartered state enterprise to be located at Pine Bluff, with capital of S250, 900, of which more than S75, ,000 has already been subscribed for. Among the officers elected we find the name of MT. L. K. Grobmyer as Vice President and his son, Leo, will have charge of the stock yards They have both made the handling and marketing of live stock a life business and two more competent men for the positions could not have been found in the state. MT. Grobmyer has attended every meeting held by the organizers and is prepared with facts and figures to show that it will be not only a success from the viewpoint of the stockholders, but of greater direct benefit to the farmers of the state than any enterprise that has been launched in recent years. As explain ed by MT Booth in the meeting of farmers and business men held while he was here, the object of the com pany is to afford home market for all kinds of live stock at a great say ing of cost for transportation, and it's policy will be to encourage stock raising by free instruction, valuable premiums, etc. Every citizen of the state, whether Stockraiser or not, should feel interest enough to at least wish success for this company.
 To give an idea of what this con cern is thought of in other sections of the state, we print herewith the following letter from MT w D. At wood, president of the bank of New Edinburg, of New Edinburg. This gentleman, who is wide-swake, progressive business man knows the advantages and possibilities of such a concern, and showing his faith in the project he has invested in Sl6, GOO worth of the stock His letter follows:
 New Edinburg, Ark, April }, 1912. To Whom It May Concern:
 l have made careful investiga- tion of the Arkansas Packing Com pany, Pine Bluff, Ark, and want to say that l regard this as one of the ceanest cut, high class propositions that has ever been submitted to me.
 It is hard to realize how much this means, not only to the people of this community, but to the whole State of Arkansas, and it is an en terprise which certainly deserves the cooperation and support of the peo. pie of this State.
 1 have taken block of stock iI this company myself, and regard it aS a moneymaker, and have no hesita tion in recommending it to my friends
 Yours very truly,
 w. D. Atwood, ST
