Little Rock, Sept. 21.-Bank state ments are coming in rapidly on the last call, and State Bank Commis- sioner John M. Davis reports that they are most gratifying.

 One bank reports a total of $7OO,- ooo deposits, with 76 per cent re- serve, and it is not one of the big city banks, either. It also has more than $534,000 in actual cash and sight exchange. At the previous call, one bank reported reserve of 1O2 per cent.

Timothy Manley, negro, of Mar che, has just received from a detect i've correspondence school at Kansas City, Mo-, a brand new officers star, a diploma certifying he is amply qualified to run down criminals, and numerous and sundry other articles, which went to prove that he is some detective in the true sense of the word. He came to Conway several days ago to spread his net Tester day morning he appeared before Jus ticc of the Peace Elias Kuykendall for a warrant for Paul Williams, a Conway negro, whom he charged with the illicit sale of liquor. Will Hams was arrested, and his case was presented before Mayor J. c. Dawson. The official transferred the case to the grand jury. Only one witness, Detective Manley, appeared against the prisoner at the bar. Of ficers admit the case against Will Hams is quite meagre.

If church members were as active in the interest of their local churches they too would soon bring things to pass in church work. Why not do it? The church stands for all that is high, noble, good and eternal and deals with the moral and spiritual lives of the people.
