Another coincidence is that the engineer killed Saturday night was close personal friend of NIT. Browning Mir. Barron's untimely death on the same engine in the same manner and in almost the same place was great shock to Mrs. Browning.
 Mrs. Sicily, who was killed at Knoxville, was the wife of the post master at that place. She is said to have been deaf and attempted to cross the track in front of the fast running train apparently without knowing it was approaching.

10 OBSERVE GOOD
 ROADS DAYS HERE
GOVERNOR SETS DATES
SEPT. 3 AND 4 TO BE OBSERVED THROUGHOUT ARKANSAS AS
 GOOD ROADS DAYS.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
 Faulkner county will fall in line for the observance of September 3 and 4 as good roads days, if the wishes of County Judge J. w. Holt are carried out. Judge Holt today received a copy of the proclamation issued by Cover nor George w. Hays setting apart those days for statewide road-work- ing, following the example set by Gov ernor Major of Missouri. In that state several hundred thousand men and women throughout the state en- listed on Wednesday and, in addition to improving hundreds of miles of roads, a strong sentiment for road betterment was developed.
 Judge Holt is anxious to see such an interest awakened in this county, and requests the publication in full of the governors proclamation, which ap- low
 Whereas, there is no matter of greater public or private interest than the development of a system of good roads throughout the state, and
 Whereas, there has been a notable awakening of interest everywhere manifested in the numerous mass meetings, in the expressions of the press, and in the enactments of the recent legislatures, all of which will go to prove that there is a growing realization of the vital importance of public highways of the highest class ready to be crystalized into a state wide concerted effort at road improve ment, and
 Whereas, this is a matter deserving not only the attention of farmers and business men who have need for the roads, but also of the chief executive of the state, who is charged indirectly with it's welfare, and
 Whereas, no better method occurs to me for furthering the cause of good roads than the setting apart of day or days to be dedicated to the study, discussion and practical advancement of good roads,
 Now, therefore, l, Geo. w. Hays, governor of the State of Arkansas, do hereby set apart and designate the 3rd and 4th days of September, A. D. 1913, being the first Wednesday and Thursday of said month, as Good Roads Days, at which time and on which days all persons interested in this cause are requested to contribute in whatever manner may seem most appropriate for the advancement of good roads, by holding institutes, pub- lie meetings, road working, or in any other manner best suited to each re spective locality.
 In testimony whereof, l have here unto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state this 18th day of August, 1913.

.DYNAMITINC SOIL
 FEATURE MEETING
IAT DEMONSTRATION FARM
MEETING TO BE HELD NEAR CONWAY
 SEPTEMBER 3.
.'rcm Salaidays Daily.

Ire al Sai.idays Daily
 The agricultural department of the Iron Mountain railway announces farmers field meeting, to be held on the demonstration farm near Con- way, Ark, on Wednesday, September Is. The plan of this meeting is to go out into the fields and show the farm CTS by actual demonstration how 10 select their seed corn and cottonseed for next years planting.
 In addition to this, the various fac tors that entered into the making ot
 the crops on the demonstration farm the past season will be thoroughly discussed and explained by represen- tatiyes of the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture and the aericul- tural department of the railroad com pany.
 One of the best features of the
 meeting will be a demonstration of sub-soiling by dynamite. A represen- tative of one of the large powder con cerns will have charge of this dernon7 stration. It is believed that by the breaking up of the sub-soil, that much of the clay lands around Conway will
 greatly increase the yields for those lands because of the fact that the crop yields are limited largely by the spell of dry weather which dries up the upper soil, there being no nois- ture to come from below through ca pillary attraction.
 All the farmers who attended the recent farm school at Conway should be present at this meeting, because here they will see put into actual practice things discussed during the
 school. The demonstrations will com mence promptly at l o'clock.

TRAINS KILL TWO
 NfARESAME HOUR
FATAL WRECK AT MARCHE
ENGINEER BARRON CRUSHED UNDER WOMAN KILL
 ED AT KNOXVILLE.
From Mondays i;arS.

From Mondays rass.
 At almost the same hour, about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, two fatal accidents occurred on the Fort Smith division of the Iron Mountain rail way, Engineer Alexander Barron los ing his life when his train was wreck ed by burning trestle near Marche, and Mrs. C. Sicily, an aged woman being struck and instantly killed by passenger train No. 120 at Knoxville. The two trains met and passed at Conway about an hour before the ac- cidents occurred.
 The wreck at Marche was one of the worst that has occurred on the road in several years. The train was a heavy one, consisting of about 50 cars. A 30-foot trestle, too near a curve to be seen in time for the train to stop, had caught fire, the support ing timbers having burned so much that the bridge broke down just as the engine passed across, the tender breaking through while the engine remained on the rails. Fourteen cars were piled up, and caught fire, the wrecking crew being delayed several hours in clearing the debris on ac- count of the intense heat.
 The fireman and head brakeman both jumped in time to save their lives, though both were considerably injured. Engineer Barron stuck to his post, it is supposed, until the en- zine reached the trestle, then jumped only to be buried beneath the tender and a. car load of wheat. It was nearly 20 hours later when his body was recovered.
 The wreck seriously interfered with traffic, normal conditions not being restored for nearly 24 hours. Both accommodation trains were annulled Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, and passengers on train NO. 1O6 out of Little Rock Saturday night were transferred around the wreck to train No. 103, which backed up to Russellville, reaching Conway about I a. m. Sunday. The first train passed the scene of the wreck about noon Sunday.
 MT. Barron, the engineer, had many friends in Conway, who regret his tragic death. He was a 32nd de- gree Mason. and leaves wife and five children.
 Engine No. 1894, which was wreck ed Saturday, seems to have achieved the reputation of "hoodOo' engine. It was this engine. it is said, that was wrecked near the same place four

tained by reason of stoppage of the outflow of Mill Bayou in the Arkansas river, causing water to stand on the plaintiffs lands and rendering them unfit for cultivation. The complaint charges that at the point where the levee crosses the bayou the locks for the discharge of surface water were placed six or seven feet too high, backing up the water to this depth on the plaintiffs lands.
 The directors of the levee district last week filed suit against MT. Dona- ghey for about $1,100 alleged to be due for unpaid levee benefits assessed against his lands.
