EDUCATIONAL RALLY
 AT VILONIA A SUCCESS
PROF. M'CLURKIN'S ADDRESS THE FEATURE OF AN
 EVENTFUL DAY.

Vilonia, April 8.-"Raliy Day. on April 4 was a grand success. We had large crowd, plenty of dinner and a merry time.
 The first exercise was contest be- tween the first and second basketball teams of Vilonia high school, in which the little girls won, 20 to 16. This was the first basketball contest ever held at Vilonia.
 The feature of the day was an in- structive and scholarly lecture on the value of education by Prof. J. l. Me Clurkin, who held the audience spell bound for over an hour. He made it very plain that no boy or girl can af- ford to fail to get an education. No one can tell the far-reaching results of such speech.
 After our mental feast came a feast for the physical man, given by the good people of the Vilonia dis trict. When dinner was over an old time spelling bee" by the aged was conducted by Prof. McClurkin. Out of all our crowd there were only four who would spell, MT. and Mrs. J. w. Clanton, Mrs. R., F. Parker and MT Hogan of the Sixteenth Section. Mrs. Parker was the best speller. This was novelty to many.
 The last thing on the program was a baseball game between Ell Paso and El Paso won by 15 to 3. There was great enthusiasm on both sides. Prof. Hubbard brought three of young people from Ell Paso. They said they enjoyed the day. We know we did, and we wish to thank all those who took part for their cooperation.

STATE ENGINEERS
 SEE Y|LON|A ROAD

State Highway Engineer Hugh H. Crater of Little. Rock and -Asslstanl Engineer Humphreys of Pine bIuf1 spent yesterday with County R0&o Commissioner w. R. McHenry view ing the proposed Conway-Vllonla pike. After looking over the grounds they decided to send Engineer Cos sard here next week to make survey of the road and an estimate o1 Us cost.
 Engineer Carter said tn.- ~r+1se- the propos.edr rmacadam road will de Bn,s4ld 'largely upon whether the ston'
 available near the road is of . char acter suitable for road-building puf
 poses. He strongly urged the neces sity of using hard stone for sur1aclAt material, and said it would be waste of money to use the soft sandstone he found near the road, as II woult wear out and wash off in shof' time.
 Mr. McHenly is of the opln4on however, that stone sufficiently natG for building can be obtalnec from the second ridge north o1 the road, which extends the entire dis tance from Conway to Vilonla- Inns stone will be tested by Engineer Cos sard next week.
 MT. Carter said if the material could be crushed near the roac, me pike could be built at a cost o1 about S2 ,OOO per mile, but if it became nee essary to. ship the stone in here ty railroad, it would probably cost $4,- GOO per mile to build the road. Ii no hard stone was available in the coun- tv he said it might be cheaper to build foundation of sandstone and surface it with hard-crushed stone. The roadbed, he said, should be apout p feet wide with a stone surface Id feet wide.

ALL CANDIDATES HAD
 OPPOSITION AT HOME

An analysis of the returns of the election in the Seventeenth judicial circuit shows that each of the three candidates for judge had strong op- position in their home counties, al though each one carried his own county. The pluralities of both Judge T. c. Trimble in Lonoke county and George w. Clark in Faulkner county were small, and in Monroe county Judge J. s. Thomas lost eight of the Is townships, his plurality over Clark being only 216.
