Many Problems.

A Problem Social. new feature In
church work. was inaugurated by
the Ladies, Aid of the Methodist
church on Friday evening last, the
main problem OF which was to de-
wise ways and means OF lifting
small church debt which still hangs
over the society When all had as
sembled, a short literary program
was rendered, consisting of a reel
tation by Maurice Pierce, another by
Clara Boyd, a reading by Mrs. F. &.
Pierce and another recitation by
Lena Witt. Reaching the full length
of the auditorium of the church were
two large tables, laden with all the
good things to eat, and after the pro-
gram all were invited to partake OF
the refreshments. Upon being seat
ed each gentleman was given a prob
lem to solve, and some merrimen'
was INDUCED In In answering these
problems. The principal problem
however, was explained by the new
pastor, Rev. Long, who stated that
there was yet a small debt hanging
over the church and If not paid II
the near future the society would be
in danger of losing their building
He called for voluntary contributions
and something over 800 was raised
in this manner AS quite numbe
Of the members OF the society wer
not present, 1t is thought that tn
society will have no difficulty in rails
ing the required amount to put ther
entirely out OF debt.
The affair was a very pleasant on
throughout and the successful mar
ner in which 1t was carried out re
fleets credit upon the ladies havil'

.CR|TTENDEN COUNTY
TO DEVELOP SWAMPS
Gigantic Market Garden is Planned
for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Drain
age District.

Memphis, Jan. 5.-Twenty-seven
thousand five hundred acres of land
in Crittenden county, Ark, just
across the river from Memphis, now
in reproductive state, is to be
drained and placed in a high state of
cultivation within the next twelve
months.
1t is proposed to turn the wilder
ness into a gigantic market garden
for the city of Memphis and at the
same time stimulate the idea of
diversification in this section of the
country.
A drainage district known as Dis
trict No. has been organized under
the drainage laws of the state of Ar
kansas. 1t is proposed to place on
the market, to raise funds for pre-
pairing the land, a bond issue of
$150,000 at per cent interest per
annum, the bonds to run for twenty
years. The bonds will be placed on
the market within 80 days.
w. E. Ayers, engineer in charge,
has completed the survey of the lands
for the district. He says the proper
ty is now non-productive and has a
trading value of only SO to $40 per
acre, but when the drainage work is
completed should be worth from
500 to $3.50 per acre.
The district extends from Marion
on the west to Hulburt on the south.
Mr.. Ayers, in speaking of the pro-
ject, said:
we propose to make the area I'M
der question one of the garden spots
of this section. The land is fertile
and is capable of producing large
quantities of produce.
ut is especially adaptable to the
growing of truck and alfalfa and
could be used to advantage by dairy
men. Being close to the Memphis
market the produce will be hauled
to the city over the Harahan bridge
upon its completion.
Eve expect the development of
these swamp lands to greatly slim
ulate crop diversification in this sec
ton and get the farmers away from
the one-crop idea"

ODD FELLOWS HOME
Grand Master Highfill Seeks to REM
edy Conditions at Institution
at Batesville.

Little Rock, Jan. &c. w. High
fill of Paragould, Grand Master of
the l. o. o. F. of Arkansas, an
nounces that he proposes to bring
about radical change in the man
ner of conducting the Odd Fellows
Orphans and Widows Home at
! Batesville. He has made a person
al investigation and condemns the
present management in no uncertain
terms. There are about 100 or
phans and dozen widows in the
home, and the cost of maintenance
averages under the present system
only 1891 per month. The food is
wholly inadequate to the needs of
the inmates, in the opinion of Mr..
Highfill, and the general conditions
are far from satisfactory.
Grand Master Highfill is prepar-
| ing a circular letter to be addressed
| to the $4,000 subordinate lodges and
$4,000 kebekah lodges, setting
forth the conditions and calling for
contributions to put the home on a
better basis, and he says that he will
personally and officially look after
the administration of the fund that
is to be raised, to see that it is used
for the best interests of the orphans.

There being a tie between Roberts

necessary to defer the decision for
this position to a special election.
Here's another item showing that
the Paragould boosting spirit was
getting in some good work back in
1896:
"An indication of the growth of
our fine little town is shown in the
progress shown by our merchants.
A gentleman from Memphis who has
been spending a few days here and is
a close observer remarked that the
millinery turned out by Joseph was
not excelled by any large cities he
had ever visited"
