George Washington, is in our posses

during the recent unpleasantness be-
tween the States (1S61 to 1860 from
the files in the Court at Fairfax Court

For the past fifty years the state
of Virginia has been on hunt for
this will and the same was not located
until this spring 1916 when it was
found among the relics Of the late
D. Pierpont Morgan, Of New York.
Demands were made upon him for
the surrender of same, which on being
fIatly ignored, the matter was taken
in hand by the State Of Virginia with
a view. of entering suit as being stolen
property. Injthe meantime, Mr.. Nor

it to the government at Washington

AN AGREEABLE SURPRISE.

Editor The News:
When the sun begins his journey
Fsouthward and nears the imaginary
line that divides the world into two
equal parts, we usually predict, and
sometimes look for with dread, the
coming of storm, known as the Equi-
'noctial gale. But the storm that broke
in upon the home of the pastor and
family of the Bay Street Presbyterian
Church, last night about o'clock was
not one to be dreaded by any means.
1t was, in fact. one of the most en-
ioyable occasions ever experinced by
tn occupants Of the Manse, and its re-
turn in every respect would be gladly
welcomed.
Just before noon a telephone mes
sage announced the coming of Mr..
Chas. Powell and family at 1880 p. m
A smile came over our faces and we
began to prepare to extend hearty
welcome. About z O'Clock p m. an
other message announced the call Of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. G. Hauenstein at
o'rlock, and we began to think of
What happy occasion to have these
two families with us on the same
evening, and how surprised they would
be to find each other there
AT 1880 Mr.. Powell and family came
and we We're enjoying their evening
call when the pastor noticed just a
little suspicious smile on the face Of
Mr.. Powell. But ere that smile could
be studied and its meaning determined,
the storm broke, and in came a host
|of unexpected but very welcome
friends, led by Mr. and Mrs. Hauen,
Istein. Within few minutes the houss
was filled with smiling faces and
bursts of laughter, and we were one
Ihappy family, We were all children
and soon the little innocent games OF
childhood wera in full force. A large
number, seated in one room, engaged
| in game OF marbles, while Mrs. Eos
ter gathered another crowd out in the
hall and taught them the interesting
littlo game of put The younger chill
dren were out in the yard playing
drop-the.handkerchief and many othel
Esuch like games; while in doors, many
of the old childhood games were being
suggested and played by the older chill
dren.
| [ Days gone by were being lived ovel
again by us all, and our hearts were
glad Too soon, the more than wei
Ieorned callers began to return to theil
prospective homes, leaving in our hearts
the most pleasant memories Of tneii

| things to tempt the appetite and sus
tain the physical man. Words canno

friends nor tell Of the happiness the.

week evenings John called at the
Newton home and spent a pleasant
hour with the four sisters. Twice a
week he and Adria attended some
village entertainment or took a quiet
stroll.
And now, John, was gravely de-
failing a new trouble to his sympa-
thetic companion.

he was saying. tits reminder of
my foolishness. You know a year
ago got it into my head that there
was something tangible to the the

we attended and who favored bonn

and there was rather a pitying ex-
preston on her gentle face.
All the town remembered, too, and
smiled when they thought of it.
Durham had a mortar made and
bought prodigious lot of dynamite.
He went at his experiment carefully
and scientifically. All the country
side invaded his little farm the day
he shot the clouds. Lo, and behold!
a drenching shower followed the
bombarding of the clouds and John
was triumphant.
When, however, the signal service
announced that the rain would have
come anyway, there was a general |
change of opinion. And when, four |
times in succession later on, John
tested his aerial artillery, it seemed |
to weazen up nature and the drought |
of a decade ensued.
You see," John went on, "the |

Next morning John proceeded to
prepare to get rid of his troublesome
explosives. He went to the little shed
built into the hill and proceeded to
remove it's doors Inside, wrapped
in old clothes, was heap of the stuff
which he had once fondly hoped
would make him a successful rain
maker He uncovered some of it,
planned out how many journeys it
would take to land it in the ravine
slough and started for the home of
his nearest neighbor to borrow a
Wheelbarrow.

FORT SMITH WOMAN TO PROVIDE BUILDING FOR ARKANSAS TU-
 8ERcULosIs INSTITUTION.
WAITING LIST INCREASING
Last Fall the Board increased Accom- odations to 12o By Placing Elm plcyes in Tents and Doubling
 Up Patients in Cottages.
Fort Smith,


 Announcement was made that Mrs. W. J. Echols of Fort Smith has donated $5,000 for the construction of an addi- tional building to the Arkansas Tuber- culosis Sanitarium at Bonneville. The gift was accepted at a meeting of the board of trustees, held at Bonneville. The building will be known as the Echols Memorial Building. It will ac- commodate "A patients. The structure will be 200 feet long and will contain, in addition to rooms and sleeping porches for the patients, a diet kitchen incapacitated that they cannot go to the general dining room. It will also be equipped with bath rooms and nursing rooms and will be completely furnished to make it a strictly up-to- date institution
 When the original sanitarium build ing was constructed the institution had accommodations for 104 patients. The gift of Cottage Sebastian, from the residents of Sebastian county, in- creased it to 112. The waiting list has constantly been increasing during the past year, and last fall the board increased the accommodations to 120 by placing employees in tents and doubling up the patients in the cot tages. Despite this, however, the waiting list is still increasing.
 The sanitarium gift of Mrs. Echols is but one of her many acts of philaL- thropy The Echols Memorial Church of Fort Smith was made possible through her assistance.

A determined effort is to be made to raise enough money to make the silver service gift to the battleship Arkansas something worthy of the state for which it is named. The sum of about S3,000 has been raised, but that will not buy an adequate service. Every state and every city which has been honored by having a battleship, cruiser or gunboat named for it has recognized the honor fittingly with the sole exception of Arkansas. Even a city no larger than Paducah, Ky, raised more money for the purpose than has the whole state of Arkansas.
 Mayor Charles E. Taylor, chairman of the Board of the Battleship Arkan- sas Silver Service Commission, has decided to enlist the interest of promi. nent men in various parts of the state and to that end has appointed 100 additional members of the com. mission.
