yention of the different churches If the city bY R4v. W. B. Miller, oastor Of the Presbyterian Church which made every one fee that hey were surely welcome
 The welcome address by Mir P. U. Furry in behalf of the city. we knew we were welcome in he beautiful little city of Var 3uren, but we were not so sure # the little citv across the river Fort5mith, until we heard tht
 welcome address by Mir. George Sengel, then we knew.
 The b autiful response by Mrs. Minnie w. Rutherford, President of the State w. C. T. U. Keynote cooperation for social welfare and the whole program showed that we would have to cooperate be- fore we could accomplish any thing. The treasurer reported that We had gained 800 new members during the past year, that is enough to make us feel that this work is not in vain
 With heart so brave, that never l faltered, through the mist of grief and loss, we with you, the gleam will follow past the tomb, around the cross.
 The only thing short was the Frances Willard Memorial Fund which above all should be kept up. The Memorial service was grand, bur still in a way made one feel sad, but to hear so mary good things said about those good women who have done S. much in the past for the upbUild- ing of humanity and shows very plainly that her good works fol-
 ow her, and the father said: Come up higher, thou hast done what thol could. " The Juvenile work reported by the Van Buren Union was good, and told how they tried to watch the boys on the street and find out if they went to school and have their mothers report about their work. Is there no other way that leads to light? Must blood and dark ness be the door to right. nor nations treat until more lads lie dead. Ohl no, let us not wait un- til our boys lie dead before we can wake up to our duty. Let us be up and about our masters business. Let us cooperate with every good move to improve the conditions of cur town and coun- try.
 The address of our President, Mrs. Rutherford, was something to never be forgotten, so many good things. She brought out the fact of so much conservation of the good women and what they had done for our grand state, Arkansas, and how much good the pastors accomplished, im- pressed the fact that nothing would cause so much curse as the liquor traffic. Nearly all disgrace and trouble is started with liquor. The only way to have peace is 10 never stop as long as there is drop of it in the worl d. Let each one of us have a part in driving it out and help save our boys. As it is now it is ten thou sand times worse than war There were so many good things in her address that we could not men ton them all. Just watch your White Rjbboner as it it will be published in full in that organ.
 The address on farm work, by Mir. PhareS was worth your while. The only thing about the whole matte, was that every bod y did not hea it, so many good helps. how you could inrich land and make so much more on a small piece of land with so much less labor and try raising lots of wheat peanuts, corn, alfalfa, cattle, hogs, and less cotton and stop shipping everything out of the country. But still don't forget the boys. Mrs. Dr. Garrison of Little Rock talked on Better babies, their health and welfare. If we can have better. healthier parents, then We will have better babies and not before. Then if the women can work. sacrifice and drive this evil from our land isn't ii lxnrth while. Yes ten
