Tuesday afternoon, May 10th. the
Locust club of Wa-Keeney held their
last regular and annual election of
officers at the home of Mrs. j. G.
HIxson and despite the inclement
weather all but three of the members
were present besides having with
them as guest Mrs Chas- Inglis of
Milwaukee, which afforded the club
much pleasure as Miss Inglis was
charter member of the club and gave
to that organization its name
As this was the national peace day
a short peace program was given be-
fore taking up the regular work,
which consisted of the repor of the

ushered into the spacious dining
room where a sumptous three course
turkey dinner was served, the hostess
being assisted in the serving by little
Miss Lauretta and Mrs A j. McCol-

an able speaker and his talk was

in presenting the diplomas, made an
excellent address to the class which

The County Commissioners, MessrS

The High School Normal training
class take their state examination
this Friday and Saturday. The late
legislature changed the supervi-
sion of this examination from
that of the High school principals to
that of county superintendents thus
again adding to the burdens of their
Office. And two years ago the legisla-
ture doubled tie time required to
spend in visiting schools. The salary?
That remains unchanged except
where lowered by decrease in school
population Thus it is ever with
school workers. The school boards
serve without pay and foot their own
ex enses. We must console ourselves
with Roosevelt's favorite maxim that
the satisfaction of work well done is
in itself sufficient reward, and hope
that the next legislature will see fit to
remedy matters somewhat - or at
least allow the superintendent, for a

BY the way, the legislature did re-

provision for a county meeting they
each member two dollars for
attendance. That will pay for gaso-

MEN AT
 FELLOWSHIP LUNCHEON
Rev. E. R. Steel Addresses Big Meet ing at Y. M. c. A. Last
 Evening.


 Rev. B. R. Steel, pastor of the First Methodist church, was the speaker Sunday evening at the weekly Fellow ship luncheon at the Young Mems Christian association. His text was Study to show myself approved un- to God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth"
 Arrangements had been made for an attendance of eighty men at the luncheon. but because of the general interest in the big fire at the Doris B. compress, many of the prospective guests were at the fire, and the at- tendance at the luncheon was 58.
 It was perhaps the most successful meeting ever held in the association building, according to General Secre- tary F.. NJ. Goodwin. The luncheon was preceded by big song service. The Cotton Belt quartet, which was expected to be in attendance, was not present, because of the fire.
 The committee of ladies which pre- pared and served the delicious lunch con was composed of Mrs. H. G. Hig- inbotham, Mrs. B. M. Goodwin, Miss Nellie Montague, Mrs. Walter White, Mrs. A. w. Troupe, Mrs. William Waldrop, Mrs. J. w.. Martin, Mrs. w. H. Graves, Mrs. J. S. Wilson. Mrs. D. A. Caldwell, Mrs. Elmer Richards, Mrs. l.. K. Land and Mrs. J. w. Adams.

along the Cotton Belt right of way, close to the'i fire, were burned in twain. Several strands of wire were destroyed by the heat, but these wore quickly repaired by linemen who were on the scene early.
 Cross ties on the Iron Mountain were charred and burnt on their 1orth ends, from the small blazes which starte dthere. Huge pieces of blazing cotton were carried by the wind considerable distance, and on tho roofs of number of negro homes, southeast of the compress, bucket br'gades were kept busy, preventing the starting of other fires. From many of these houses the furniture had been removed, and placed some distance away, as precautionary measure.
 Cecil Sparks was Johnny on the 1ob'' during the fire and was on the scene with his moving-picture ma- chine, to take a number of pictures for the Pathe Weekly. These views, therefore. will be seen all over the country, and folk elsewhere will get an idea how Pine Bluff can have a million dollar fire-all in one build ing and in one afternoon.
 There were lots of cameras on the ground. and many dozens of films were exposed yesterday. Photographic souvenirs of the big fire, therefore, will be numerous, even if only the usual percentage of the amateur ex- posures can he developed and print ed
