"The Wrath of the Lord"

In one of the effective and elo- quent sermons delivered here dur ing the past two weeks by Rev. T. B. Larimore, he pictured in flaming words the curse that follows sin, and in the course of his remarks he quoted the following poem that is printed by request of several mem bers of the congregation: Oh! the wrath of the Lord is a ter
 rible thing! Like the tempest that withers the
 blossoms of spring, Like the thunder that bursts on
 the summers domain, It fell on the head of the homicide
 Cain. And To! like deer in the fright of
 the chase, With a fire in his heart and a
 brand on his face He speeds him afar to the desert
 of Nod A vagabond, smote by the ven
 geance of God. All nature to him has been blasted
 and banned, For the blood of a brother still
 reeks on his hand, And no vintage has grown and no
 fountain has sprung, For cheering his spirit or cooling
 his tongue. The groans of a father his slum-
 bers shall start, And the tears of mother shall
 plerea 70 his heart, And the kiss of his children shall
 scorch him like flame, When he thinks of the curse that
 hangs over his name. The wife of his bosom, the faith
 ful and fair, Can mix no sweet drop in his cup
 of despair; For her tender caress and her in-
 nocent breath But stir in his soul the hot em-
 bers of death. His offering may blaze, unregard-
 ed by Heaven, And his spirit may sigh, yet re-
 main unforgiven; His grave may be closed, yet no
 peace to him bring! Oh! the wrath of the Lord is a
 terrible thing!

SAYS PARAGOULD
 IS COMING CITY
Travelling Man Comments on Im- provements Going on Here and
 Progress Made in Past Year.

A well known travelling man who covers ten states and who makes Paragould about one time in every twelve or fourteen months, was so astounded at the improvements that have been made in the city during the past year that he vol untarily brought to The Press of flee the following statement for publication:
 "If the citizens of Paragould could only see the difference be- tween their own city and the diff ferent cities in ten states I have visited since being here fourteen months ago, they would have no complaint coming. In all the places I have been there is not a place that can boast of improvements like the city of Paragould and from all indications this is the coming city of Arkansas When last here l noticed vacant stores. They are not vacant now. A fine new hotel, also other building i'm proycments and beautiful paved streets wRich were not here year ago. And right here I want to say again, Paragould is forging ah1ad The officials and citizens of your city deserve all the credit in the world for improving Par agould the way they have under existing circumstances all over the country. Everybody boost. Don't kick, for you are in clover to what other cities are over the country. A TRAVELLER.

MARMADUKE YOUTH
 DIES OF INJURIES
Arnold Flatt Sustained Fractured Skull While Riding Cotton Belt
 Train at Stuttgart.
(From Wednesdays Daily Press.

(From Wednesdays Daily Press.)
 Arnold Flatt, the sixteen year old son of a widow who resides at Marmaduke, died at the Paragould sanitarium yesterday afternoon as the result of injuries received Sat urday morning at Stuttgart while the young man was riding the blind bagpage on the northbound Cotton Belt passenger. The lad left home several weeks ago in search of work in order to earn something to as- sist in supporting his widowed mother and his brothers and sis tesr. He was returning home, al most penniless, which accounts for his efforts to avoid paying railroad fare. No one knows just how the accident happened, but in some manner he sustained a blow on his head that fractured the skull and lascerated the brain. He was car ed for in Stuttgart until his moth CT could reach that city. Yester- day morning, while enroute to Marmaduke with her injured son, Mrs. Flatt got off the train here and had the boy placed in the sanitarium Dr. Paul Dickson said the condition of the boy was such that an operation would do no good, that it would only hasten death, consequently he advised the mother that her son was beyond hope of recovery. He fingered through yesterday and expired at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The boy never regained consciousness long enough to tell how he was injured. The body was taken to Marmaduke last night for inter- ment today.

Two Killed in Wreck.

Gravette, Ark. June 2S.-Two men were killed yesterday in a wreck between large string of runaway freight cars and a passen- ger train on the Kansas City South ern railway a mile and a half south of Gravette.
 The dead: Jesse Chaffin, aged "A, Fort Smith, Ark.
 Otis Coffee, aged 22, Fort Smith. Ark.
 They were riding in a box car of northbound freight train that pulled out a drawbar while enter ing a siding to permit the passen- ger train to pass. The breaking drawbar released 40 cars and they imediately began speeding down the grade
 They travelled distance of a mile and half when they crash ed into the passenger train. The crew of the latter saw their ap- proach, stopped the train and fled. None. of the passengers were iu- jured, but they were severely shak- en up. Fourteen of the freight cars were piled high into wreck age.

 MT. House says the mill will be modern in every particular, With machinery designed to manufac- ture the highest grades of flour An elevator and storage warehouse with capacity of thirty thousand bushels of wheat will be construct ed in connection with the mill
 "There have been several moves on foot to put in flouring mill in Paragould," said Mir. House this morning, "but on previous oeca- sions there was not sufficient acreage in wheat in this section to justify the investment necessary to construct and operate a first class mill. That condition, however no longer exists in Greene county The diversified farming campaign last fall. coupled with the general shortage of food crops and the low price of cotton, have combined to arouse the farmers to the necess1- ty of planting grain crops. The results of these influences are seen this year in the largest wheat yield ever harvested in Greene county. have no accurate statistics at hand, but in my judgment the wheat yield in Greene county this sum mer is approximately 30,0O0 bush els. The price is good and the farmers are going to be encourage ed to make another increase in the wheat acreage next year.
 Everything points to this as a propitious time for the erection of the mill we have talked about for many years, and you may say to the citizens of Paragouid anu to the farmers of Greene county that a mill second to none in Northeast Arkansas will be in operation to handle the 1916 wheat crop. We want at least one hundred farmers to take stock in the mill-in small amounts if they so desire. We want to stimulate interest in wheat growing and one of the most effective means of doing this is to get number of wide-awake farm CTS to take stock in a flouring mill. We can and will finance the institution without the aid of the farmers. It is not their money VIC want. But if we put up forty or fifty thousand dollars to erect and operate a mill we want the farmers to raise the wheat with which to run it."

OFFICIALS KEEP WATCH ON
 GEN. HUERTA'S MOVEMENTS

San Antonio, Tex, June 29.- A report was current here today that deportation proceedings will be instituted against Gen. Victoriano Huerta and Pascual Orozco, who were arrested in Fl Paso yesterday on a charge of 'conspiring to form revolt against Mexico.
 United States District Attorney J. L. Camp, who ordered the arrest of Huerta and Orozco, declined either to confirm or deny the re- port. Camp said he considered the bonds on which the two men were released too small.
 Washington, June 2S-The Unit ed States government has determin- ed that so far as it can prevent, there shall be no further revolu- tionary movements in Mexico, and that American territory, at any rate. shall not be used as a base for such expeditions
 This, it became known officially today, led to the arrest of Gen. Victoriano Huerta, and Gen. Pas cual Orozco in Fl Paso, and forms the ground for strict surveillance now being maintained by agents of the department of justice on Gen. erals Felix Diaz, Mondrago Blan- uuet and Felipe Angeles and other Mexicans of prominence now living in the United States.
 Assistant Attorney General War ren conferred with Secretary Lan sing, after the intention of the government to prosecute vigorously all violations of neutrality laws ir- respective of the prominence of the 1 individuals or their affiliations, was revealed. According to infor- nation thus far gathered, there are at least four separate aud distinct groups, apart from the Villa and 1 Carranza supporters, in the United States who are active politically in the Mexican situation. When ever such activity shall reach the point of setting on foot military expedition from the United States arrests will follow, according to Warren, who is handling the case.
 The information gathered by government agents discloses that the various groups have a common purpose in opposing Carranza and Villa, but are working independ- ently of each other Inquiry is being made to learn what financial interests are supporting the various factions and there are hints that citizens of one of the belligerent countries of Europe are involved in 1 the plots.
 i The position of the United States is that the revolutionary elements in Mexico should not be augmented and the situation further compli- cated by the addition of maraud- ing armies which could hope to gain any degree of military su-

LUNCHEON SERVED
 AT COUNTRY CLUB
One Hundred Business Men Enjoy Barbecued Meats and Listen
 to Number of Short Talks.
From Saturdays Daily Press.)

tFTOm odtuTudy Ddlly FreSS.J
 More than one hundred Para gouldians responded to the invita- tion of the Chamber of Commerce to enjoy a six o'clock luncheon at the country club grounds yester- day afternoon and take part. in an informal program, designed chiefly to stimulate interest and enthusi- asm in the commercial organiza- tion. The affair was one of the most thoroughly pleasant outings of the season. There was no con- ventionality, no set program, no appeal for funds or membership just free-and-easy gathering spiced with plenty of play, social converse, and some splendid short talks.
 Charley Stedman, Bob McHaney and Secretary Highfill of the Chamber of Commerce, had charge of the details of the luncheon. They had a sheep and a half hog bar becued in splendid style by Bob Harris, and with this were served breads, pickles, cheese, onions, and soft drinks.
 Rev. c. M. Reyes, pastor of the First Methodist church, opened the festivities with an appropriate in vocation.
 Following the luncheon brief addresses were made by S. E.. Simpson, J. w. Powell of Little Rock, Father Hoflinger, J. T.. Welch, J. D. Block, Rev. c. M. Reyes, Senator J. M. Futrell and H. M. Jackson.
 All the talks were about the work of the Chamber of Commerce and the imperative necessity of maintaining the organization.
 In concluding the program and speaking for the officials of the organization, MT. Jackson said the future of the Chamber of Commerce rested entirely with the business men, that if they voluntarily re- sponded to the call for monthly contributions with which to finance the institution the officials were willing to give their time and at tention to directing it's affairs. Up- on the other hand if the business men do not feel sufficiently inter- ested in the work of the Chamber of Commerce to finance it, the Of- ficials will close up the quarters and disband, so far as they are concerned. MT. Jackson further said he did not believe in appoint ing committees to canvass the city and plead with the business men to join; that this is 6 voluntary movement for the public good; that it is as much one mans business as another's, and that all loyal citi- zans shcGld support the organiza- tion cheerfully.
 The whole affair was so profita- ble and pleasant and so productive of good that the idea may be en- larged upon by giving monthly luncheons during the summer.

premacy only after prolonged fighting. Famine conditions and the devastations of the military factions already in the field are of such a threatening character that until the American government is able to see clearly what it's own ac- tion should be, it is determined that no new elements be intro- duced into the situation.
 At the department of justice 1t was said that investigation was being made to learn whether Gen. Angeles, Villas right-hand man, had any connection with the so- called Huerta plot, and that some evidence seemed to connect him with it. Enrique c. Llorente, Washington representative to Gen. Villa, announced later that after long distance telephone converse tion with Gen. Angeles in Boston, the latter had started for Washing ton to call in person at the state department tomorrow and deny that he had any connection with the Huerta conspiracy. Llorente declared Gen. Angeles had come to the United States on a private mis- sion and would soon return to Vil- las headquarters.
 Officials at the department of justice expressed surprise that Huerta and Orozco had been re- 1 leased on bond at Fl Paso, and let it be known that they had ordered their agents to maintain a strict watch while the two generals were at liberty. It was recalled that Gen. Salazar, who was released on bond. escaped across the Mexican border, and the department has in- dicted officials of the state of New Mexico who were alleged to have aided him ill his escape.
 After looking over the evidence that has accumulated, officials were inclined to the opinion that Huer- la and his friends laid careful plans for coup. which was to be staged somewhere in Northwestern Mexi- co, possibly in the next few days. It is not understood that there was to be any concerted movements of Huerta recruits across the Rio Grande at any -ime. but they have been travelling that way for many weeks.
 Machine guns. ammunition and supplies necessary to any army have moved the same way and in the same direction. At present there is no embargo on arms to Mexico and many a shipment is said to have gone across which government agents felt convinced was destined for the hands of Huerta's friends
 Huerta has been under the eye of the department from the time he landed in New York until he aliehted from his train Sunday morning near Fl Paso,
