 Prof. Baumgartner appointed a leader or captain for each room. These Captains. Manly Folsom and Mckinley Moshier. who with Clyde Cooper compose the Senior boys eff this term, chose successfully from the high school boys until all were chosen. After the boys were divided into two companies, Captain Folsom, of Company A, won the choice of the two rooms and chose the south room, which left the north room for Company B under Moshier.
 It is estimated that there are 86 cubic yards in the south room, while 90 cubic yards will have to be removed from the north room before it can be called com pleted.
 Captain Moshier with Com- pany B went on duty Saturday morning, Nov. IA and with the help of Prof. Baumgartner ex- cavated between 40 and 50 yards during the day.
 Below is list giving the number hours put in by each of the boys during the day.
 COMPANY B
 Prof. Baumgartner, 8 hours; Capt. Moshier, 8 hours; Clyde Cooper; 6% hours; Albert Roescher, 6 3-4 hours; Harold Owens, 4 34 hours; Carter Chaney. 4 hours; Glen Hill, 4 hours; Willie Meyrs. 4 hours; Louis Knighten, 24.
 Those failing to appear were, Harry Hurst, Jack Snyder and Eugene Lawrence.
 Volunteers from the grades rendered valuable service during the day.
 Captain Moshier was well pleased with the days work although unseen obstacles in the form of a concrete walk 12 feet long, and a portion of the found- alton of the former building had to be removed.
 Captain Folsom with Company A will go on duty in the south room Saturday morning. Nov.2

THE NEXT MAYOR OF BRINkLEY

The most important thing that confronts the citizenship of Brinkley at this time is the selection of some good man ot real business ability and moral worth to take the office of Mayor which is now open.
 The insignifican salary of $lO per month heretofore paid is foolish and it is to be hoped that the very first thing the gentle men of the City Council does will be to raise the salary to at least $6O or $75 per month so that there will be a possibility of securing the services of such a man as is needed to be at the head of this half million dollar corporation.
 The fact that there IS no money in the City Treasury right now should not deter for one moment, the voting of a reasonable salary for the Mayor. The finances will take care of themselves with a man of busi- ness ability in charge of the city's business.
 We have a City Aldermanic Board composed of business men who are capable of accomplish ing results and with man of business ability as head of the organization, every man or woman who owns a dollars worth of property in the city limits will be amply repaid in increased valuations, saving of burdensome and unjust taxation.
 The ARGUS has no favorite to offer for the place. There is no issues at stake in Brinkley now. we are all ONE. Any honest,

clean man of busine ss ability will be satisfactory.
 Without a doubt this is the most important time in Brink ley's entire history. We are just verging into city and it is to be hoped that each and every citizen can be made to realize that we should lay aside all petty personal likes and dis likes and get a man for Mayor who will fill the bill, regardless of everything else, and this is next to impossible without a raise in the salary.

The "Biack Death"

The awful plague known as the "black death" appears to have passed by way of Armenia into Asia Minor, thence to Egypt and northern Africa. from which region 1t crossed the Medi- terranaan into Europe. Nobody will ever know how many were the victims but careful estimates place the deatE list at 2o,0O0,0OO. You are probably without warrant in fearing a repetition of that ancient plague in consequence of the slaughter now going on ii. Flu rope.

Is there by chance 8 Roman who is ashamed to take his wife to dinner away from home? Does 1t happen that the mistress of the house in any family does not enter the anterooms frequented by strangers and show herself among them?

 The pastor and wife enjoyed very much the opportunity of attending the meetings of the Baptist State Convention, n Little Rock, last week. It was a great meeting, and there was a large attendance. On Friday night about $1O, GOO was raised to cover the debt upon Ouachita College; and on Saturday night about $7.OOO was pledged for the Orphans Home at Monti- cello. The pastor preached at the First Baptist Church, on Sunday morning. Mrs. I. J. Draper and Miss Kathleen Flora also attended from Brink ley. The Convention will meet at Conway in 1915.
 This week the pastor is in Hunter in a meeting. but will be at home for the Sunday Ser vices. We were glad to hear that the attendance at the Sun- day School on last Sunday was so large larger than for some weeks before. We hope the attendance will increase.
 The Union Thanksgiving Ser vices will be held this year at the Methodist Church. The pastor of the Baptist Church will preach the sermon. We are
 
 very anxious to have a large at tendance at this service. not be- cause we are to preach, but be- cause we want our Brinkley people to express their thanks to God for His goodness to us. We have indeed been wonderful ly blessed during the past year.
 Do not forget the regular ser vices on next Sunday, and may we have the privilege of seeing your presence. COME.

Pm a believer in Brinkley and I see a better day ahead. The disposition of nearly all of our white citizens to drop in and adhere to the law enforcement spirit. speaks much. It means that in those men whom some were loath to believe was spirit of real outlawry. there is some thing good and they are willing to turn over a new leaf. Pm glad of it for now we can all all join together in one long, strong pull for a bigger, better brighter Brinkley. There's no sore spots and no disposition on the part of any class of citizens to "lord it over" or rub it in" on anyone. We are all ONE in Brlnkley now as we haven [ been before in many years.
