VALLEY VIEW SCHOOL

A more optimistic group of farmers.
farmers wives and children than met
at the Valley View school house Fri
day would be hard to find. They were
celebrating their first arbor day upon
the new building site. which is now
graced by a magnificent four-roomed
brick, building. This is another grand
success to be added to the already
long list of achievements of which
Valley View proudly and justly boasts.
The morning was spent In cleaning
up the grounds and planting trees.
Following this was a good old-fash-
toned picnic dinner and get-acquaint-
ed time which were enjoyed by both
young and old. The day was appro-
priately and enthusiastically conclud-
ed by a baseball game. Patriotism
prevailed. and the good hearted swains
went cheerfully on their way.

Der of dead is known and the prop,
erty loss established.
Fear for Convict Farm
Much apprehension was felt here
today regarding the fate of the state
convict farm at Tucker, southeast of
here where 325 state prisoners were
at work. The farm was believed to
have been directly in the storms path
and as all wire connection with 1t was
lost when the tornado first descended,
it was feared some of the convicts
might have escaped during the con-
fusion. J. R. Burkett, warden Of the
state penitentiary here, is on his way
to the farm with a strong detachment
of guards.
Passengers arriving here today
brought further reports of the wiping
out of a negro settlement at Keo, be-
tween here and Tucker with loss of
seventeen lives Accurate information
on the situation, however, is lacking.
The tornado struck the ground a
few miles north of Pine Bluff and
cutting path four miles wide. assum-
ed a northeasterly course and finally
wore out itself in the vicinity of Du-
vail Bluff and Des Arc. Many homes
were set on fire by the lightning

Shops.
100000 SHOP HERE

E. M. Haas, secretary Of the Com
mercial club, said today that it was
probable the club directors and the
trustees of the Richmond Industrial
Development company would have an
important and pleasing announcement
to make to Richmond citizens on New
Years day or shortly afterward.
The prospective New Years gift for
the city is large industrial plant,
now located in another city, which
has employed as many as two hundred
men and is owned by men of unlimit-
ed capital. Secretary Haas also states
that this concern is a rapidly growing
one and its location in Richmond
would be an important step in the in
dustrial expansion Of the city.
Meets Industries Committee
"One day this week a representa-
tive Of this concern will meet with the
members Of the new industries COM
mittee of the Commercial club and
1t would not be surprising if the deal
for bringing the plant to Richmond
would be closed at this meeting" Mr..
Haas said. He added that 1t would be
premature to announce at this time the
kind of products manufactured by
the company.
"Ofacers of the company have de-
cfded that they would like to locate
their plant in Richmond and tentative
arrangements for bringing the indus
try here have been made" Mr.. Haas
said. "The question of terms will be
discussed this week. It is believed
that the terms the club committee will
propose viii be perfectly acceptable to
the company Officers. The committee
is considering locating this concern
In q plant It holds an option on, after
building large addition to the plant,
Or the construction of an entirely new
plant for the company"
Organize $4,000 Plant
Mr.. Haas admitted today that sew
eral Richmond men were now at work
organizing a 100000 manufacturing
concern but declined to state what
KIND OF products this contemplated
company intended to manufacture.
The Commercial club secretary fur
ther stated that the new industries

MRS. DENNIS WILL
NOT ASK HOSPITAL
NAMED FOR HUSBAND

Unmindful Of personal honors but
working hard for hospital to relieve
the suffering of tubercular people in
Wayne county, Mrs. D. w. Dennis has
asked county commissioners to allow
no agitation or former plans for the
institution to be named after her hus-
band, the late DR.. D. w. Dennis, to in.
terfere with their accepting as a gift
site for the institution.
This was learned through authcrita
tive sources. The county commission.
ers will in no way comment on the
proposed gift, the terms of which have
never been made public. All that is
known Is that as soon as some tech
nicalities have been disposed Of, the
donor will come before the commiss-
toner's and make the offer public. The
custom in such instances Is to name
the institution after the donor.
Continues Husbands Work.
Mrs. Dennis is working hard to con-
tinue the activities of her husband in
community affairs and hopes to see in
reality within short time the long
dream of DR.. Dennis-a county tuber-
culosis hospital.
AS president of the Anti-Tubercu-
losis society, the former Earlham pro-
fessor did much to impress the citizen
ship with the need of such an institu-
tion.
At the memorial service held for DR.
Dennis at Earlham it was proposed
that the county tuberculosis hospital
when 1t became a reality, be named as
a memorial to him. Mrs. Dennis
recent action was taken to remove any
obstacle which this suggestion might
place in.the way Of the proposed gift
