Arcadia Valley Manufacturing Com
psny in Ironton a couple of years ago.
1t viii be remembered that Arcadia
Valley Manufacturing Company went
broke and paid creditors about forty
cents on the dollar.
A minister in Arkansas found his
people too poor to purchase hymn
books, says an exchange, so being Of
fered the same books free by a patent
medicine house, provided they be al
lowed to insert their advertisement,
ordered three dozen for the congrega-
ton. He was elated upon receiving
them to find no ad in same. The next
Sunday he distributed the books, tell
ing the brethren his good fortune and
requesting them to sing page 100.
His chagrin may be imagined when
they sang as follows: clark the
heavenly angels sing; Johnson's Pills
are just the thing. Hear their voices
meek and mild-two for a man and
one for a child"
A. H. Hinchey, for nearly four
years city editor Of The Republican,
has resigned his place to become Sec
rotary of the Commercial club. He
will now devote his entire time to the
interests of Cape Girardeau. He is
arranging to have regular office hours
at the club room in the Elks Building
and will also spend some of his time
each day in outside work, keeping
acquainted with the activities of the
town and the citizens. He will keep
in touch with all visitors, will aid peo-
pie who desire to locate here in get
ting homes, will keep closely in touch
with factories that seek a new loca-
ton and will do much work that will
help this town wonderfully.-Cape
Girardeau Republican.
Easter Sunday ome on March 23d
this year, almost as early as it can oc-
cur and the earliest date between the
year of 1900 and 1925; and, according
to the old weather saying, we would
have a short winter and an early
spring. Easter is known as a movable
holiday it's coming being governed by
certain calendar rules established by
the Council of Nice. 1t occurs on the
Sunday which comes next after the
full moon on or after March ii, anc
thus may occur as early as March %
or as late as April 26. During the mex
twelve years, Easter will occur bu
twice in March, these being March 81
1918 and March 27, 1921. From this
it appears that Easter occurs in Marcl
three times in each period of thirteen
years.
