Martin, at the home of the brides parents, in London, Ark, Rev. R. E. L. Bearden, presiding elder of this district, oflici- ating. The bride was given away by her brother, MT. Milton Martin.
 The wedding was quite brilliant one, there being about 150 guests present, together with a number of school children who were particularly attached, to Miss Martin.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

The year is two-thirds out today. The A fives have done years work according to previous standards, but the grade is being raised little each year, so they will still be called lives for month or so. The same is true of the fourth grade. By next year the work of the fifth grade will cover what used to be counted as the sixth grade.
 The seniors are doing excellent work now. Some of them confess to having discerned what work is. We congrat- ulate them. Many pupils leave high school without having learned that cery important lesson.
 Miss Minnie Flippen will go to Littole Rock tomorrow to have her arm treated. It has not done well.
 The basketball game between Rus sellville and Conway High School left us in the hole to the tune of $500. Does it pay us to maintain a team when the school does not back it up at the ticket window?
 Giles Matthews, Jack Rogers and Atherton Anderson have volunteered to keep the boys basement in order, and they are doing it. We commend both the spirit and their efficiency.
 Floy Henry, Maxie Anderson and Eufala Snow began to do a similar work for the girls, but we felt that the work was too heavy and employed a woman to relieve them. All the pupils are showing a iine spirit to- ward the building.
 Don't forget to have your boy and girl join the movement to help Con- way feed herself. It is high time to enroll and get the ground prepared.

THE ARKWAY.

"Love and Baseball,' two-reel Uni versal, heads the offering tonight at the Arkway. Christy 'Mathewson plays the leading role. It shows Christy before he was Big Lea guer"-when he was young country fellow fighting his own ambition to follow up baseball and the desire of his sweetheart to enter her father store as a bookkeeper. The situation developed is unique. At times the hu- nor is keen, only to be contrasted with climax of gripping qualities There are scenes showing Christy, such as have never before been shown on the screen, disclosing Christy on the diamond at the polo grounds, New York, pitching his team to success and batting out home-run.
 A Nestor comedy also will be shown tonight.
