Bank Will Rreorganize.

Charlottesville, Mo-, July s.-It IS probable that the Peoples Bank, which closed its doors here July 5. owing to the shortage of s22.60o charged to Claude F. Scoggin, for mer assistant cashier. will be reor- ganized and reopened as a nation al bank in the course of few weeks. A movement is now on foot ln this connection and ample SUD- port is already being pledged to this plan. There have been no new developments relative to Mir Scoggln. He waived his prelimi- nary hearing on the charge of hav- Ing embezzled s1360 and his bond was fixed at s5000. He has as yet made no attempt to give this. lie has promised to make a public statement in few days, but now denies that the shortage justly chargeable to him will amount to s22,6OO. Part of that amount. he says IS due to clerical errors. He mas secured an attorney. The mys- tery as to the disposition of the money remains unsolved. He says ne has none of the money himself ana that he had no accomplice.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS
 FOR NEARBY TOWNS
Crystal Ice Company of This City Is Awarded Franchises at Mar
 maduke and Cardwen.

Negotiations that have been un- der way for sometime between of- ficials of the Crystal Ice Company of this city and the municipal au- thorities of Cardwell and Marma- duke have been brought to a close in the granting of franchises to the company for the privilege of furnishing electric lights and cur rent to the people residing in these towns. At recent meetings of the board of aldermen of Marmaduke and Cardwell the proposition sub mitted by the company was accept ed and within the next twelve months both places will be SUD- piled with current manufactured in Paragould. Under the terms of the franchise the Crystal Ice Company is to begin work on the extension within six months and furnish lights within twelve months. It is understood the same rates for light ing and power will be made in Marmaduke and Cardwell that are charged consumers in Paragould
 The plant of the Crystal Ice Company has a capacity far in ex- cess of the demands of local pa irons, and in order that the sur plus output of electricity may be consumed the officials some time ago decided to extend the service to neighboring towns. It is understood poles will be erected along the right of way of the Cotton Belt and Par agould Southeastern railroads to Marmaduke and Cardwell and the

wires will run direct from the plant here to these towns.
 The Crystal Ice Company has all so under consideration a proposi- tion to furnish the power to pump the water for the municipal water plant of Paragould. It is stated the company will enter into con tract to install the necessary ma chinery in the deep wells and do the pumping for both the old and the new water districts for $200 per month less than it has been costing the city to operate the plant.
 The operating expenses at the water plant, exclusive of the salary of the water superintendent and the repairs made monthly on the sys- tem, averages about $500 a month. Of this amount nearly $500 is spent each month for coal. It has been demonstrated in many Ar kansas towns and cities that ma chinery can be operated more cheaply by electricity than by steam. At Fayetteville, for instance, the water is pumped one mile by electricity and distributed to elev- en hundred consumers for a month ly expense of $500, while in Par agould where steam is used it costs the city S700 to pump water to eight hundred consumers
 The officials of the Crystal Ice Company have not put this propo- sition up to the city council, but the statement has been authorized that the company will enter into five-year contract to do the pump ing for $200 month less than it is now costing the city.

MAKING PLANS FOR
 BIG IMPROVEMENTS
Handsome New Laundry Building to Be Erected-Banks Will
 Remodel Structures.

Despite the fact that business conditions over the south have suf- fered a severe depression during the past ten months, and in most small cities private and public improve ments have been at standstlll, Paragould just goes right on grow ing bigger and better all the time, apparently oblivious to any real or fancied financial stringency and impervious to so-called hard times"
 The gigantic street paving pro- ject. costing s12S,O00. is nearing completion. The S80,000 hotel building is now finished and will be thrown open to the public with in few weeks. The s25,000 wa terworks system covering West and South Paragould is being installed. The Joseph Mercantile Company is completing the reconstruction of their big department store that was damaged by fire several months ago. The new Majestic theatre on South Pruet street, designed to be one of the most modern and handsome play houses in the state, is well under way. The Spain and Lack ner buildings have been recon structed, and several substantial new residences have recently been finished.
 On top of all these splendid i'm provements, comes the announce ment that J. Harry McPherson, Price Barton and R. L. Carpenter, owners of the Paragould Steam Laundry, have had Architect Weems draw plans for a modern laundry building on the Mcdonald lot on North Pruet street. Work men are now engaged raging the old building preparatory to laying the foundation for a modern brick structure 42x120 feet. The front of the new building will be of or namental buff brick. The entire south side will be constructed of steel sash and glass, making the in- terior as bright as daylight. The floor will be of concrete. The very latest laundry machinery will be installed embracing number nP Hn1C nnl " n0rfnnfn6 The equipment will carry out the idea of sanitation in every feature. The total cost of the improvements, including the building, will be be- tween eighteen and twenty thou sand dollars The building is to be completed before fall and the new plant will probably be in op- eration by October 1.
 While the architects have not completed the plans, it is under stood the National Bank of Com merce and the First National Bank buildings will soon undergo exten- sive alterations and improvements, and that new fixtures will be in- stalled in the National Bank of Commerce.
 Harry 0. Donaldson, owner of the building recently occupied by the Safety First drug store, destroyed by fire month ago, is having plans drawn for two-stery structure on

EDISON WILL HEAD
 U. 5. NAVY BUREAU
Famous Inventor Agrees to Give Time, Without Pay, to Service
 of Country.

Orange, N. J.. July 13.-Thomas A. Edison has accepted an invita- tion from Secretary Daniels to head an advisory board of civilian inventors for a bureau of invention and development to be created in the navy department. His accept ance will go forward at once to Washington, where the new plans await word from the man "who can turn dreams into realities
 Daniels idea of utilizing the in- ventive genius of Americans in and out of the military and naval ser vice to meet conditions of warfare shown in the conflict on land and sea in Europe is outlined in a let ter written last Wednesday, asking Edison whether, as a patriotic ser vice to his country, he would un- dertake the task of advising the proposed bureau. The plan is to have several men prominent in spe- cial lines of inventive research as- sociated in the work.
 Among the great problems to be laid before the investigators, ;he secretary mentioned submarine war fare, adding that he felt sure that with Edison's wonderful brain to help them the officers of the navy would be able "to meet this new danger with new devices that will assure peace to our country by their effectiveness.

County Line Singing Association

County Line Singing Association
 Delegates from Walcott, Mount Zion, Finch. Fifty-six, Trinity, Pop lar Valley and Lorado met at Pleasant Hill Saturday. July 10th. and organized singing associa- tion to be known as the Cour' y Line Singing Association. The busi- ness session resulted in the cleo tion of w. D. Hester president, il E. Patton vice president, II. w. Cathey secretary. s. R. Willcockson treasurer.
 This is a much needed orgs niza- tion, since it is oftentimes impos- sible for the classes of Craighead and Greene counties to attend their respective associations because of the great distance from the places of meeting.
 This association, however. is not to interfere in anyway with the meetings in these two counties. Its purpose is to benefit the classes that cannot easily attend the oth- CT associations.
 s. R. Willcockson, ". W. Dent, M E. Patton, T. s. Cook, R. E. Hickman and George Freeman were appointed to draft constitution and bylaws to govern the associa- tion.
 The first meeting of the associa- tion will be on the third Saturday in August, one-half mile east of Lorado at Big Creek bridge.
 A cordial welcome is extended to all singing classes who will to meet with us that day.
 All classes not represented at the convention may join any time. and all wishing to take part in the singing that day will please notify w. D. Hester, residence Paragould, Route g. M. E. Patton. Bono, or Ellis Adams. chairman program committee. Jonesboro Route ?.
 The committee on arrangements will meet on the grounds the 1st Saturday in August to let contract for cleaning grounds. arranging seats and selling rights for cold drink stands.

and asked Senator Futrell for a statement. The correspondent wir- ed The Press as follows:
 "Futrell says there is likelihood of his entering the race for gov- ernor, but conditions have not shaped themselves so he can make definite announcement. He says he and Huddleston will not both be candidates
 M. P. Huddleston, prosecuting attorney of this judicial district, and law partner of Senator Futrell, announced his candidacy for attor- ney general several months ago up- on the understanding that Senator Futrell had decided not to become a candidate for governor. MT. Huddleston says if Senator Futrell changes his mind and enters the race for governor, he will not be a candidate for attorney general.
 Along this line is an interesting story appearing in the Arkansas Democrat yesterday afternoon with reference to Senator Futrell. M. P. Huddleston and Senator Lundy. The story follows:
 If Mt,e Huddleston of Para gould, an avowed candidate for the office of attorney general of Ar kansas. withdraws from the com ing primary race, Senator Elmer J. Lundy will announce for this posi- tion. At least that's what Senator Lundy thought today, although he had made no formal declaration of his intent or even definitely decided upon his course of action. That was what he thought he would do," he told a Democrat representa- tive this afternoon.
 Senator Lundy, who is from Me- na and who was the presiding of ficer of the senate in the last leg islature, was in Little Rock this afternoon to confer with Senator J. M. Futrell of Paragould, Huddle- ston's law partner and former act ing governor. Politval eyes were immediately focused upon the con- ference of the two senators, as up- on their comparisons and determi- nations this afternoon, many be- lieve. political history will be made. Should Senator Lundy de- clare for the attorney generalship it is very generally regarded that Senator Futrell will announce as a candidate for governor. While there is expected to be no official coalition between the Paragould and the Mena politicians, it is con- sidered that an inferred combina- tion would exist in that Lundy would not oppose Huddleston, Flu trell's law partner, and Futrell governor, with his office partner combing the county for votes as attorney general. For you see, that would be placing the affairs of state in the hands of too close partnership, a governor and an at torney general from the same law office.
 Senator Lundy could make no declaration of his intent until he had conferred with MT. Futrell The latter was expected to reach Little Rock this afternoon"
