SCOUTS RETURN
 FROM LONG HIKE

Twenty members of the Conway troup of Boy Scouts of America, ac- companied by Scoutmaster H. k. Steel, returned at 2:30 D. m. today from two weeks hike. Every Scout was in as good or better physical con- dltlon when the troup reached Con- way as he was when it departed June |12.
 The first stop was at Bigelow, where the lads were royalty enter tained. Other stops were at Hot Springs, Malvern, Benton, Bauxite and Little Rock. At each stop the boys received hearty welcome. The stop at Hot Springs probably was the most interesting, Scoutmas- ter Steel said The boys were met by committee from the Business Mems League, and shown through the principal bath houses, the ostrich farm, the government reservation and other places of interest. They ar rived in Hot Springs last Friday and ! remained until Monday.
 The boys visited the pottery plants at Benton and the bauxite mines at Bauxite. A few miles from Little Rock the troup was met by Benton | Tunnah, custodian of the state capitol who extended an invitation to the boys to visit the capitol, which was | accepted.
 The lads left Little Rock yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, camping last night near Marche.
 The total distance covered was 25( miles, the boys averaging about foul miles an hour while walking. Each cooked his own meals. There was not mishap on the entire trip. Two or three of the boys, disregardine Scoutmaster Steel's warning abou eating and drinking immediately af ter stops, were laid up for few hours with stomach troubles. Asid, from this, however, there was n, illness of any kind.
 The Scouts made a bee line for tn

GARLAND SPRINGS.

The rains the past week have given the farmers plenty to do for a while, but they have been very busy while the ground was right to blow stubble, putting peas in for hay.
 J. N. White made a trip over to Beebe Friday to meet James Martin of Hartford, but MT. Martin failed to show up.
 J. w. Sanders and family, who suffered the loss of their store, dwell ling, shop, mill and tenant house in the storm on June ,, have been spend ing the past week at the home of J. C. Bell.
 We are surprised at what the Mt. vernon correspondent has to say in regard to the man 1 mentioned last week as being one of Mt. Vernon's best citizens and says he is not even Faulkner county man. He does not know the White county line is so close. He claimed the Nebo boys last year as Mt. Vernon boys because they got their mail there. If he thought this man was a great ball player he would call him Mt. Vernon boy, but other people call him that. He lives just over the line in White county on Tom Hogan's place, the place Dr. John Keathley lived on when he was the Mt. Vernon doctor.

 Last Monday the Missionary So- ciety of the Baptist church held a very interesting session; as we had with us our much loved State Secre- tary, Mrs. Jackson, who always has a message of love and encouragement for us, she knows so well the needs of the field in our state, our possi- bilities and our capabilities that after one of her talks, we feel that we must make a new start and work with might and main while the op- portunity is presented to us. We were also glad to have our State Sunbeam Leader, Miss Una Roberts with us and we are pleased to know she is soon to cast her lot with Con- way people, she is to do some special work in Central College this next session, so we anticipate the pleas ure of having her with us in our meetings quite often.
