Conway, Arkansas THURSDAY. May 7, 1914
 R|P{N SLOWLY

Due to the cool nights and lack of hot sunshine in the days, straw berries in the vicinity of Conway are unusually slow in ripening, and it was not though this afternoon that d sufficient quantity would be brought in to ship another car before tomor- row afternoon. The berries being gathered today, however, are of an improved quality and will be much more easily marketed than the first pickings.
 Only 250 crates were loaded in the special express car here yesterday, and the car was taken on train No. 132 to Morrilton, where it was filled to it's capacity of 800 crates. After receiving bids from several buyers the Faulkner County Truck Growers Association sold yesterdays consign- ment to G. L. Mays at $2.00 per crate In view of the inferior quality due to the heavy aims early in the week this is considered a good price.
 Another express car will be set out here this afternoon for tonight's and tomorrow's loading and it is hoped to have 800 crates ready to go out tomorrow afternoon or night Industrial Agent J. J. Connery of Chicago, representing the Wells Fargo Express Company, is spending a few days at Conway and Morrilton assisting the growers in loading and consigning their shipments

 Boy Is Hurt

The little son of Mir. and Mrs. Walter Waters was brought In from Holbrook last Monday night for medical treatment having been seriously injured in an ex- plosion of a water tank in which water was being heated to melt some tar to be used to tar the fish Tets. Early Monday morning the men started to get their tar ready to melt some tar and having made a boiler out of an old oil drum they built a fire under it and then went away and left it. Little James Waters and Lloyd Candens started to play some so feet away from the boiler and had been there possibly a half hour when there was an explosion and the whole top of the drum was blown off and a piece of 1t fell striking James Waters on the head cutting the head open for about seven inches.

Was Some Time
 The 4th Of July

Front Street and Some very anus ing as we'll as interesting contests were pulled of, and everything went lovely down to the Bremen s Hose Race which was so close that 1t caused considerable com ment, being run in about 38 seconds by both teams, and as one company missed the hvdrant and the other made a mistake on the other end of the hose, while both companies got water through, t WAS concluded that the two teams should have equal honors and so they were adjudged.
 The boat races after supper were a very close contested affair and some very pretty races were pulled off.
 Everything turned out to make the day, the rain that had been falling the day before stopped and the sun came out, while it was not too hot to enjoy it. Anyway the celebration was a grand sue cess and everyone is we'll satisfied with the way things went off, and may we have as good one next year.

The big celebration started on the evening of the 3rd of July wfth'a big Red Mems dance, and such at a dance. It was one that will go down in the dancing his- tory as the biggest time ever had at dance in Wrangell. The hall was crowded and everyone went away after dancing to the wee small hours of the morning with a word of praise for the way the Red Men had carried off the dance.
 The next thing on the pro- gram was the Patriotic Exercises in Red Mems Hall at o:3o a. m. And the program that was render ed was an honor to the committee consisting of Judge Thomas and Miss Beiler. The band was out in full force and helped to make the day more lively.
