HILL CREEK.

The people of Hill Creek community
 have recently completed a $1,500
 school building with the exception of painting. It is two-story structure and we hope to get it furnished and painted this year. We think we can do this by the aid of our newly organ ized School Improvement Association.
 Last Saturday evening, February 28, Mrs. J. R. Burks of Martinville organized School Improvement As sociation at this place with an enroll ment of 32 members. The meeting was opened by song and a prayer by Rev. T. F. Thompson. Mrs. Burks ex- plained to the people the object of the society and told of the good being done at other places by the aid of their organizations, following which were several enthusiastic talks by members of the board and others. After this we went into the election of officers for the ensuing year, result ing in the election of Mrs. T. M. Pat terson, president, and Claude Hutto secretary The president appointed the various committees such as social, finance, program and mem- bership committees. We then ad- journed after a pleasant evening to meet again Friday evening, March 13. Much interest was shown and we hope to accomplish great deal this our first year. There is much interest shown in the school also and we ex-

VARSITY SUMMER
 SCHOOL ATTRACTS
People From Many States Will Take
 Advantage of Unusual Chance.

Fayetteville, Ark. May 16.-The approach of the heated season is proving encouraging to the Univer- sity ot Arkansas in it's hopes for a large summer school. Numbers of inquiries are reaching the director day by day from points in Oklahoma and Texas as well as from Southern Arkansas, asking for catalogs or ac- commodations. One delegation is coming from Roswell, New Mexico attracted by the combination UT a mountain summer resort and an un- usual number of pedagogical courses.
 There is an ever-iacreasing pro- portion of the teachers in Arkansas ill attendance upon the summer ses- sions of various schools, and more of them are turning their eyes in the direction of the State University than ever before. Correspondence in dicates that this is because the uni versity has set itself to the problem of meeting the desires of it's constl- tuency. This summer there will be two innovations, in that members of the faculty are promising to offer any course listed in the general cata- log in arts or sciences if as many as eight students ask for it; and by recent action of the faculty it was made possible for students to do an entire semester's work ill as many as two subjects, of either secondary or collegiate grade and receive credit for them.

vert to the Christian faith. For some reason-possibly because of the per secuuons to which Christians were frequently subjected or from fear of rldlcule-this convert failed to have the letter published.
 He kept it, however, as a sacred memento of Christ, and as such pass ed it on to his eldest son, who like wise transmitted it, and thus it came down through many generations, but never was published, the tradition being that when it finally was given publicity it had been in this one family for more than thousand years.
 During all this period of time, the story goes, the family suffered re- peated and continuous misfortunes. Discouraged members had migrated to countries other than that in which the person who had gotten the let ter from the child had lived-Pales- tine, evidently-and at last one of them came to America, bringing the fateful letter with him.
 Mrs. Fannie Wortman of Marion, Ind, is more or less familiar with the history of the letter since it came to America. The family having possession of it settled in Virginia, still keeping the fact of the letter a secret. It seems that descendants of the Virginia family moved farther south. still followed by misfortune, and finally the last member, daugh- ter, approached her death bed.
 One story is 10 the effect that with the death of this daughter the entire family which had for so many cen turies disobeyed the injunction of the letter, and with such dire re- suits, was extinguished. At any rate and this is Mrs. Wortmans under standing-the' daughter on her death bed called in a neighbor woman by the name of Thompson and turned the letter over to her, relating it's history as it had come down through a thousand years or more.
 Impressed by the story she had heard from the lips of the dying girl and by the text of the letter, the Thompson woman immediately be- gan an attempt to have it published and it appeared in the Rome (Ga.) Tribune, October 31, 1891. From there it was reprinted in the Dalton (Ga) Citizen, and Mrs. Wortman now living at Marion, Ind, clipped it and retained it in her possession for many years.
 Recently Mrs. Wortman had it re- published in Marion paper, stating at the time that during the time she had retained the letter ilr her pos session without having it published or attempting to, she has had a species of bad luck which she at tributes to her failure to secure pub licity for the letter.-Democrat Globe.
 Send p cents to Dr. H. E. Martin Pine Bluff, Arkansas for 23 copies of the above letter. Then send let ter to eight friends within eight days after receiving the p letters. Sign no name. Either have this letter pub lished or send to eight friends as stated above. This letter was sent to me and is being sent around the world. Please do not break the chain Write name and address plainly when sending for the letters.
