COUNTY DEBT REDUCED

Hot Springs, June 2S-The report of the Garland County Grand Jury as made yesterday shows that the :oun- ty was in debt last year to the amour, of $195, ,5S4.69, and this years revenues are, in excess of all expendi- tules, $37,55O.95, which reduces the indebtedness of the county to $15S,- 033.74. Of this about $125,O0O is due on the courthouse and it s this sum that an effort is being made to collect by the suit that has been brought in the United States court to raise the assessed value of the real estate in this county to par, or to total value of more than $3O,OOO,00O. The organ ization of company has been sug gested to take over this indebtedness and thereby avert the little less than a catastrophe that the collecting of three times the taxes next yea as heretofore would Dring about.

MANY ATTEND THE
 SOCIAL SESSION
\. 0. |. w. Lodge Entertained With Fine PrOgram Dast Nigh; at
 Red Mems Hall.

Fully tLmee hundred membei 5, wives and friends of Pine Bluff Lodge No. 36, A. o. U. w., were at the Red Mems hall last evening to enioy the musical program and hear the fine addresses made by local and visiting speakers of note in the open meeting at which ',he local lodge was host to ladies and friends.
 Thomas Green ST., was master Of ceremonies, and he introduced each spSaker and announced the numbers on the program in the most appr9- priate manner.
 Each number On the program was heartily enjoyed and some of the musicians though young, showed tai ent that will some day develop fine musicians. The invocation was by Dr. J. I. Norris.
 The presence of Grand Master Workman J. R. Frazier, of Little Rock; Grand Recorder William Muf- ray, of Little Rock, and A. G. Wolff, deputy grand master, was the source of much grat' 'ficatlon to the members and their addresses were all we'll re- ceived. Dr. Junius Jordan's address on "Fraternalism" was masterful. Dr. Jordan is noted for his eloquence and has received many invitations from institutions of other cities to de- liver addresses.
 Following the program cream and cake course was served and for two hours afterward the young peo- pie enjoyed dane ng to the strains of music from Williams Orchestra which also rendered popular airs during the progress Of the affair.
 The success of the meeting was due in large part to the efforts of the en- ter, ainment committee, of which A B. Smith, special deputy in Pine Bluff for the order, was chairman.

Bumper Peach Crop is
 Expected in Sebastian

Ef- forts are being made by growers, sales agents, the horticultural asso- cation and transpCrtat on companies to provide for the handling of the yield, which is expected to be the larges, ever raised in Arkansas, without loss of big percentage of the crop. Fer several weeks prepar- ations have been in process, the bui ding Of delivery quarters, laying in d suff cient supply of baskets and crates, procuring sufficent corps of pickers, and providing for four or five thousand cars which will be re- quTed to move the crop. The icing alone affords problem which is bothering the transportation compan- ies and :ce factories. The factories :n this city are doingI their best to meet the local emergency.
 At Argenta, the Iron Mountain has stored nearly 15,0O0 tons of ice. The crop must be handled in about three weeks, and one of the vital problems is how to sell so great quantity of fruit in so short a time on the North ern and Eastern markets without knocking the bottom out of prices.
 It is pract cally certain that as the clcse of the peach season approaches both the market and the crop will be in such condition that more or less great surplus will be left on. hand. To meet this contingency, every ef- fort is being made 10 provide equip ,ment for canning to save the last of the crop Scores of small canning outfits are being put in by growers and others, and every housewife in the country is planning to push can. ming to the limit.
