Quick Service.

The accuracy of the postal au- thorities in delivering letters with inadequate address, has long been a marvel, but nothing in the chronicles of postal history will approach the achievements of the telephone operators who handle long distance calls.
 An excellent example was a re- cent call. A party was wanted, but his name could not be given. After close questioning the oper- ator learned that the man was "a long, slim fellow with cut over his eye, and his wife picks a guitar. '' The man was found and the call completed.
 A still more recent call was handled at Newport. A Mrs. Hart was wanted, and the opera tor was told that it was a matter of life and death. All the infor- nation that could be given was that the woman lived in the coun- try near some one who had a tele- phone. In less than an hour Mrs. Hart had been informed of the death of her father by drowning and was on her way to Newport.

Hears Sermon
 By Telephone.

Recently a revival meeting was held in Dardanelle which created much talk among the citi- zens. Practically everyone in the Yell county metropolis was attending the meetings. and this fact caused much worry to a young woman of the town who was too sick to leave her bed. She too wanted to hear the gos- pei as expounded by the evange- list. Her wishes came to the ears of the manager of the local telephone exchange, a part of the southwestern system, and he very promptly installed a tele- phone at the church, leaving the instrument on the pulpit. Thus the young woman was permitted to rest upon her couch and listen to the sermon. Later other sick 1olks were served in the same manner, and all were extremely grateful to the telephone com pany for its thoughtfulness of the sick ones.

Plans Under Way
For Tri-State Fair.

The farmers have responded
very literally toward contributing
exhibit material for the county
booth at Memphis fair. 1t only
remains for some of this material
to DO brought in and a few sam
Piles Of material now growing to
be gathered.
The committee on collection ask
all interested farmers to look
their fields over for some tall
samples OF Japan clover; some
nice, tall stalks of corn with good
ears, also some prolific corn show
ing a number OF ears. AT least
fifty stalks are wanted. Some nice
samples Of peanuts on vines, large
heads Of sorghum, (about fifty
heads of each wanted,) kafir
corn, milo maze, pint bottles Of
clover seed; collection OF different
varieties OF stock peas, soy beans,
threshed oats in peck bags, thresh,
cd wheat in peck bags, Irish po-
tatoes in peck lots, a collection OF
plates Of apples, pears, pumpkins,
watermelons and a collection Of
canned fruit.
The generous potato associa-
ton at Gleason is prepared to
furnish a large. collection Of the
very largest sweet potatoes for a
special feature. The Boys Corn
club exhibit will be entered in
this booth which will give that
product a good representation.
Now, what we would like at the
present is for you to look over
the above list and let your COM
mitteemen know what you will
furnish. If you do not live near
a committeeman, just do some
collection and send it to Dresden
or Martin. The Dresden Bank
Twill furnish q place for the pro-
ducts brought to Dresden to be
stored, and Kindlespire and bod
son will take care OF collection at
Martin.
In addition to the stalks OF corn
wanted and the ten-ear exhibits
furnished by the boys, the com
mittee wants $50 ears discern
with the sbuck left drawn back
This will afford you an opportuni-
ty to furnish something. So gath
er two or three nice long, large or
perfect ears, leave the shuck
hanging and bring with you First
Monday.
The chairman is arranging to
have the necessary funds collect
ed for defraying expenses, and a
man will soon be selected to go
with the exhibit and install same
in the agricultural building,
Let us remember that all goods
must be shipped by Saturday,
Sept. Is. So bring all available
material when you come to Dres-
den on first Monday. Remember,
this is your exhibit and it will
take hearty cooperation from all
to make this what it should be.
