Let them come. The highest
point reached by the thermometer the
past week was go, on Sunday; but the
humidity has been great and the heat
more oppressive than in the June
days when 100 was recorded.
Last Thursday evening friends, near
ly it hot quite a score, including the
juveniles, gathered in at the Reese
residence to offer the lady of the
house their congratulations upon her

1t was a happy gathering and joyous
the occasion. Music and recitation
and conversation were followed by

R. G. Farmer has just completed a
.cobblestone structure, 2Sx28 feet, with
concrete floor on Arcadia Heights.
Mr.. Farmer is now at work on lwo
similar structnres-one for Stephens
College at Columbia, and the other
for William Jewell at Liberty. He ex-
poets to have them both completed
before the Assembly meets August 6.
1t is most gratifying to note that all
the improvements now being made on
the Heights are of the permanent and
lasting kind. 1t means that the ex-
perimental stage on Arcadia Heights
has passed. 1t means that the Assem-
bly, is a fixture for all time to come.
D. E. Morris and his daughter, Miss
Jennie, wese considerably bruised and
shaken up by the overturning of a
buggy in which they WIRE riding last
Thursday aftarnoon. They were driv-
ing from the Potter farm to Arcadia,
when the horse took fright at a COW
that suddenly appeared; the horse
jumped, o%verturning the buggy. Mr..
Morris was badly bru Used and suffered
a slight fracture of a bone near the
hip. Miss Morris was bruised about
the head and face and sustained a
badly sprained ankle. Mr.. Morris is
rs years old and it was a pretty hard
fall for him. He has been confined to
his bed over since the accident, but is
doing very we'll. The young lady is
able to get around with the aid. of a
crutch. We hope to chronicle the
early recovery of both.
A test of the deep well on Arcadia
Heights the latterpart ofthe week de-
veloped the fact that the we'll will sup
ply probably 5000 gallons of water in
twenty-four hours. 1t is good water:
too, and cold as ice. This is mighty
cheering news to u Baptist friends
and the community rejoices with them
1t means that there will be plenty Of
water, and good water on the Heights
this year. The pipes have already
been laid to the hub factory and the
water for the swimming pool and the
tanks will be pumped from there. Mr.
| Sewell, the we'll man on the hill, say
that the we'll on the hill will more
than likely increase its water supply
in time. 1t is very likely, too, thai
after the Assembly is over the vel
will be drilled some deeper in the
hope of getting more water.
