Max shook his head obviously as
he left the old man. He was gloomy
all day. In fact, his spirits became
so depressed towards evening that

The solemn dignity of her uplifted
hand checked him.
"Not-now," she said simply.

And about a week later Max knew
that Leila had done two things
opened a savings bank account and
insured her life. He might admire
her high consistency to principle, but
this set barrier against love made
him wretched.
They met at church, at some local
social events after that, but always a
distance between them. It nearly
broke the heart of Max to see a
marked economy in dress on the part
of Leila. She was an orphan and
worked as stenOgrapher for the city

There came into the bank one day
a bronzed, bearded man, with a
ragged canvas satchel bearing traces
of long and difficult travel. He placed
it across the counter, opened it and
took out a small wooden box.

interest They had never before seen

NOT MuCk. ROAD WORK.


 Gov. Hays good roads proclamation, setting forth "Wednesday and Thursday of this week as days for general road work throughout the. state was of no effect so far as this part of the state is concerned.
 Weather conditions made it abso- lutely out of the question. No en- thusiam could be worked up on any proposition in Carroll county at this time. The dry, hot, sultry and dusty weather has knocked all the energy and everything else out of the people.
 Until it rains and the temperature drops, there will be little doing in this country, except such things that are of actual "needcessity."
 There is no doubt that under normal conditions our people would have re- sponded with much interest and that no section of the state would have shown better results.
 We have road working season yet ], coming and with the cooperation of Nudge Pittnan and the overseers and last but not least with everybody else, we may reasonably expect a lot of work done before snow flies to any considerable extent.

 Mr. Kirkpatrick says the people of Osage are ready, willing and anxious to meet the people of Green Forest with an automjble road at point half way between the two places.
 The proposition looks to be liberal one and Green Forest people should lose no time in accepting the offer.

Fifth Sunday Meeting.

The Fifth Sunday meeting of the Car roll County Association of Missionary Baptists held here from Friday night until Sunday night last, was not as well attended as usual for these meet ings, but on a whole it may be pro nounced a success. The introductory sermon preached Friday night by Ed. Robert Began, a student of William Jewell College, was an especially strong feature of the occasion. Though yet boy comparatively, Eld. Began presented his subject and argument becoming a preacher of both age and experience. Judging from this sermon as well as other talks by this young man, we feel justified in predicting fer him great future in the ministry. The sermons of Eld Price, a visiting minister from Maiden, Mo-, were also highly interesting, he being a very strong pulpit orator.
