 Jno. P. Stafford, Postmaster.
 Mrs. L. F. Simmons, of Sallisaw Okla., came in latter part of last week to visit her sister, Mrs. James NJ Riggs. She returned to her home Wednesday.
 Byron Brogdon happened to a very painful accident latter part of last week while cutting brush. He was using a small brush hook. and in making downward stroke the hook caught him in the left leg about mid way between the knee and ankle, and inflicted a very severe cut. He is now forced to the use of crutches.
 MT. and Mrs. Chas. F. Renner, Miss Bertie Smyer Miss Helen McNabb and Mrs. c A. Ownbey were among those from Springdale who attended the Ben Greet players at Fayette- vile Friday evening of last week. A rain caused the attraction to be staged in the University Chaple, and after the clouds had passed moved out on the campus; and almost im- mediate1y another shower started, but the show continued.
 Very erroneous reports have been started about the damage done to the peach orchards southwest of Springdale late Saturday evening, and from authentic sources it is learned tha thr first reports were greatly exaggerated Some little damage was done. some few trees were hurt by the hail. but not enough to hardly mention. The hail was exceedingly heavy, and many were of the opinion that the crop was badly damaged. Close examina- tion has proven that such is not the case, and that the peach crop is still intact, in all it's splendor.
 The First NJ. E. people gave q royal reception to their pastor, Rev. Green and family last Tuesday night under the auspices of the Ladies Aid at the home of Mr and Mrs. Gal braith A splendid musical and lit erary program was rendered. Rev. Elledge opened with prayer. Rev. Cline gave his four years experience as pastor in Springdale Prof Ban ta gave the progress Of the M. E. Church since he has known it. The pastor responded in appropriate words. Refreshments were served to at least 50 people and all present pronounced t one of the very best of good times
 A "short" somewhere on the main lead lines Of the local iight and power company made the service Saturday night rather 'shaky. : Lights in the residence section were turned off about eight o'clock, and soon a portion of the lights in the business section were turned off, and about nine thirty all lights were off for something near thirty minutes. Every effort was made to locate the trouble, and it was only after run ming down all the lines in town that the short was finally coated, and the light service resumed. The Ma. jestic theatre dispensed with their second show on account Of the ser vice, refunding tickets to their pa irons.
 Reed, the concrete man, is doing a little extra work at the light plant this week. The owners Of the light plant found that their concrete tank was not high enough to prevent the flowing in of surface water during a heavy rain such as has been failing the past week, and decided to build the north, east and west wall some eighteen inches higher. In doing the work MT. Reed is placing some nice ornamental posts at the two north corners, 1t being some Of the most attractive concrete work shown in Springdale in some time. The posts are large, and are arrangde to hold flowers Mr Reed intends to place one of the ornamental posts every few feet around the concrete wall that goes around the pond, in case the work Is done.
