to all growing crops.

At ten o'clock last night serious acct
dent happened to the light plant. 1t has
been the custom to start the engine that
runs the motor, leaving it unmatched until
time to shift off the lights. From some I'M
known cause the motor burned out, putting
everything out of commission: Mr.. M. G..
Wright, the owner, was in Benton at the
time Of the accident, but returned home
this morning to ascertain the extent of the
damage.
The Methodist protracted meeting closed
Sunday night, with nine acceesions to the
church.. Rev. W. T. Woodward was COM
PEELED to leave Saturday morning. The
entire series Of meetings were we'll attend
ed and great interest was manifested. AS
this is the fourth year of the passionate of
the present pastor, Rev. T. J. Embree, and
under Methodist usage he cannot be re-
turned, a move will be made to have Mr..
Woodward locate here when the annual
conference meets. The gentleman is a
forceful speaker and made many friends
among all denominations while here.
Several residents of our town will 90 to
Arkana to-day to witness the lot drawing
at that place, to be conducted by the Cot

The company already has an oil we'll in
progress of drilling. 1t is down some 800
feet, and strong flow of gas was struck
at that depth. Considerable interest is
being manifested in oil circles over ex-
pected developments in this section. A
large party-more than 100 Indiana peo-
ple-passed up this morning on an excur-
sion COTTON up by the promoters of the
company. Should they strike oil there it
would mean much to the business of Plain
Dealing.
