POCAHONTAS MAY GET
ANOTHER RAILROAD

The Batesvllle e. ortheastern
Railway Company was organized a.
Batesville last Monday at a meeting
OF the business men of that city.
About twenty of the wealthiest
men of Batesville are behind the en-,
terprise and it is thought that much
aid from the outside can be secured.
1t is the purpose of the new COM
pany to obtain new charter of the
old Earnhart survey and to build
the railroad either to Hoxie, Black
Rock or Pocabontas, in order to
connect with the Frisco. We under
stand that the owners of the old
survey have agreed to donate all the
work that was done several years
ago, when the proposition was on
foot. 1t is said that the people are
united on the project and that the
prospects for the road to go through
are very bright.

MASQUE BALL A
BRILLIANT AFFAIR

One of the swellest affairs of the
kind that ever took place in Poca-
hontas was the masquerade bali
which was gwen at the opera house
last Monday night. The crowd
was one of the largest ever assem-
bled here on a similar occasion and
the spirit of good will and fellow
ship prevailed. About SO dancing
couples were present, a number Of
them being visitors from other
towns.
A great deal of merriment prevailed
before the time came to unmask,
as it was a very difficult matter to
tell Just who was and who was not.
However it did not make much
difference, because it was generally
known to all just who were there.
Our own people dld as they al
ways do, en1eavored to show the
visitors a good time, and they sure
ly succeeded. 1t was $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday morning when the gay
festivities ended and the merry
makers departed for their respec
tive homes to catch a cat nap be-
fore breakfast. The out of town
guests were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferd Spinnenweber,
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Pinnell, Misses
CrItes, Messrs White, Jake, Morris
and Alex Less, Bob Surridge, Ollie
and A. Dowell and Henry, Walnut
Ridge; Sloan and Baker, lmboden;
Roberts of Corning.
The music was furnished by the
Corning orchestra composed of the
following gentlemen: Hughes, Hall,
Kline, Thomas and Gage.
The success of this delightful af-
fair is due to the untirlng efforts of
those gallant young gentlemen, L..
K. Martin and Alec Goldsmith,
who never stop as long as there is
anything to do that will add to the
success of their undertaking, and
IN this they seemed to excel all
their efforts in events of the past,
as this one was pronounced by all,
'sthe best ever"

TOWN OF RfYNO
SWEPT BY FIRE

A destructive fire occurred at
Reyno last Saturday night, and as
a result one of the largest business
firms and one or two smaller ones
are out of business. The fire,
which is of unknown origin, started
in the big store of ]. l.. Johnston
q Co. and had gained such head
way when discovered that it was
impossible to check the flames or
save any of the stock. The fire
quickly spread to the Jones build
ing, which was occupied by Rob
inson & West, with a stock of
staple and fancy groceries, and
within very short time that build
ting was wrapped in flames. The
buildings were built Of light mater
ial and burned like tinder. The
next building to catch was a small
frame, belonging to 9. T. Mcclure
and occupied by William Goddard
with barber shop. Goddard sue.
ceeded in saving most of his outfit.
The fire was stopped here by the
high concrete wall Of the G.. II.
Mcclure new building. Had 1t
not been for this building it is
more than probable that the entire
block of business houses would
have been destroyed.
The Mcclure building was occu-
pied by the Reyno Drug Co. and
severe loss was sustained by this
company on account of breakage
caused by moving the goods from
the building.
We understand the loss on all
the property, except that of ROBIN
son d West, was partially covered
by insurance. Johnston's loss
amounts to several thousand dollars
The building occupied by this com
pany was the property of Mrs.
Isaac Ebbert and was the largest
store building in the town.

Prominent Young Man Dead

Horace Odom, the twenty-yeal
old son of J. h. Odom of Blggers,
died at the home Of his sister, Mrs.
Geo. Bigger, at Biggers last Satur.
day night, after lingering illness
with slow fever, which later devel.
oped into tuberculosis Of the throat.
The young man was well known In
Pocahontas, he having been clerk at
the Bigger hotel here for several
months prior to his illness.
The remains were taken to ST.
loan, near Middlebrook, and laid to
rest by the side of other members of
the family who are buried there.
1t is said that the funeral was attend

people ever assembled there. The
services were conducted by Rev. j.

of which Horace was a devoted
member.
He leaves a father and three Sis

EXCELLENT PROGRAM
BY MUSIC CLASS

The music class of the Pocahon-
tas High school, under the direc-
tion of the teacher, Miss Alma
Spikes, rendered splendid program
at the opera house last Friday even
ing TO a large and appreciative
audience. The Glee Club and Ex-
preston students of the High school
come in for fair share of praise in
making the entertainment the grand
success that it was. These were un.
der the direction of Prof. Spikes.
The program was so arranged
that no part of it became monoto-
nous and each number received the
plaudlts of the large crowd. The
Glee Club, especially, made hit
with the audience as they received
encore after encore and when they
came out for the last number the
crowd cheered Justify. The young
men composing this club are, w.
f. Spikes, w. II. Phipps, JEFF Law
hon, Alvin Bryan, Ed Hicks and
Golden Neely.
The performance lasted about one
and one-half hours and was conced-
ed by all to have been the best at
traction we have had at the opera
house this season. Remarkable
talent was displayed by each pupil
in the rendition of his or her part.
The readings by boys and girls Of
from twelve TO fifteen years of age
would have been creditable for men
and women of mature years, yet
these young people appeared in a
manner clearly indicating the fact
that it was easy for them.
The older people of Pocahontas
may well feel proud of the coming
generation, for they have placed
their marks high and are going to
excel in all their undertakings.
They have the talent and the am.
bition to do something and these
qualities combined mean success.
The management is to be congrat-
ulated on the merited success at.
tending this occasion. OF course to
the instructors belong much credit,
for without proper instruction the
young minds of the children would
not have been able to master the
problems 50 readily.

High School Notes

Next Thursday the pupils of the
lower grades will render program

The pupils Of the higher grades will
be given half holiday.

was conducted by Prof. w. f.

ling's poem, "If," was one of the
most interesting that was ever used
in Chapel.

students in the Senior class, has re.
turned to his home on account Of
sickness. But we think he will
come back to p. II. S. as soon as ne
is able.
The base ball team haas been do.'
ing some splendid practice this
week. P. II. S. is coming towards
the front in athletics.
The program rendered by the
Music class, Glee club and Express
ion pupils was success as are all
of the programs given by the P. II
s.
Donald McAlister has been very
sick but is better now. We hope
TO see him back iii school in a few
days.
Even though the close of tlis
school term is drawing near, we
continue to have new pupils. In
the last few weeks several pupils
have entered the first and eight
grades.
In the near future the pupils Of
the High school will give play
The parts have been assigned and
the rehearsing will begin real soon.
This will be the first play given by
the school this term. And being
this we shall make 1t better than any
other play given by P. II. s.
