 orally to Gods Work.
WORK FOR ALI

Bishop H. c. Morrison conducted the services at the Lakeside Metno- dist church Sunday evening, when every Methodist minister in the city was called upon to report on the years work. The reports were fol- lowed by an address on Greater Methodism in Pine Bluff" by Dr. James Thomas, pastor of the First Methodist church, who pointed out that the combined membership of all the Methodist churches in the city, together with it's constituency, com prised at least one-third the white population of the city.
 Dr. Thomas deplored the attitude of some churches gloating when they secured 6 delinquent from another church, declaring there is ample work for all churches amongst the sinners. My friends" he said, mo church can prosper when its members are jealous and hate each other. I wish all the churches Well-the Baptist, the Lutheran, the Catholic, the Jew ish, the Presbyterian. All have a great work and responsibility. God bless them! I wish them all to do "SiA' Ao thS J Cetl Ioil oI, lhOi VIII be work to do amongst the sinners; those out of harmony with God will furnish material and work for all these great institutions"
 Bishops Address.
 Bishop Morrison said he wanted to put "hcel tap" to Dr. Thomas ad- dress. Some of the preachers of this city," said the bishop, ''have spok en of Pine Bluff as the hub and this reminds me of Dr. Christians detini- tion of hub He said that a hub was the place where there was the most grease and the least amount of work. I hope that is not the case of Pine Blnff--to furnish the most finances and do the least amount cY work for God"
 Bishop Morrison said that God call ed upon us for one-tenth, but that the great trouble with some of us is that we take our nine-tenths and then five tents of Gods one-tenth. eff you will bring in your one-tenth, God will give you such a revival as you have never experienced belore," said the bishop.
 And let me tell you, young man. he continued, "in your business put aside one-tenth for God, and your business will grow and prosper"

 David o. Dodd, although generally referred to as Arkansas boy hero of the war, was a native of Texas, hav- ing been born in Lavaca county, that state, November 10, 1S46. He had been on a visit to Little Rock, and was ar rested while making his way south from that city, on his return home. Searched, there were found memor- anda in the Morse telegraphic code, in notebooks on his person, and these memoranda were translated by Capt. Robert c. Clowry of the federal forces, afterwards president of the Western Union. The notes gave excel lent information relative to the feder- al forces in Little Rock, and young Dodd was held as spy. At his trial Capt. Clowry was material witness, and Dodd was found guilty. Because of his age, a strong appeal was made to Gen. Steele of the federals in his behalf, but the northern commander was memorable, and Dodd met death by execution January 8, 1864. Before his death he wrote a pathetic letter to his mother, in which he expressed his perfect willingness to die for his country. A monument marks his resting place in Mount Holly ceme- tery, in Little Rock.

o0iet Along the Border

Phoenix, Ariz., April 2S.-The situa-
tion along the Arizona and New Mex
leo border was reported quiet today.
Upon the arrival Of the troop Of reg
ular cavalry ordered to Yuma it is
expected that the tive companies Of
militia on guard IN that vicinity will
be Withdrawn.
Governor Hunt will not call out adj
ditional militiamen unless there are
disturbances. in this regard the gov
Iernor is particularly anxious about
the smaller towns, in many of which
the Mexicans far outnumber the Am
ericans, but so far there has been no
serious trouble.
In the armory here armed guards
are on watch day and night as there
is considerable supply Of ammuni-
ton on hand.
The governor this afternoon asked
the war department for military pro
Ifection for the Roosevelt dam and the
Granite Reel diversion dam, 25 miles
northeast Of this city. He asked also
for a supply Of old style rifles dis
carded by the regulars but with which
he could equip the home guards The
edufpping 0f these guards would az
ford smaller towns the protection they
now lack. explained the governor.
