SICK WOMAN HEARS
 SERMON OVER PHONE

Little Rock, June 13.-Recently 6 revival meeting was held in Darda- nelle which created much talk among the citizens. Practically everyone in the Yell county metro polls 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 gospel as ex- po'lnded by the evangelist. Her wishes came to the ears of the man. ager of the local telephone exchange, a part of the Southwestern system, and he very promptly installed a telephone at the church, leaving the instrument on the pulpit. Thus the young woman was permitted to rest upon her couch and listen to the ser mon. Later other sick folks were served in the same manner, and all were extremely grateful to the tele- phone company for it's thoughtfulness of the sick ones.

CONWAY HELPING
 STORM SUFFERERS
3l FAMILIES DESTITUTE
In Faulkner County, According tO Investigation of Mayor Dawson
 Heber Also Aided.

Subscriptions for storm sufferers aggregating about $200 for the Faulkner county victims and S52.50 for Heber Springs were secured by Mayor J. c. Dawson here today. As only small number could be called upon by the mayor today, it is prob able that the amounts will be con- siderably increased.
 Mayor Dawson has been investigat- ing the need of relief in this county and has ascertained that 31 families are left practically destitute by the storm, their homes being totally de- stroyed. In numerous cases members of the families were injured, live stock killed, and household goods and barns blown entirely away. Of the number of families needing aid F were in the path of the Guy tor nado and IA live in and near the track of the tornado which struck Barney.
 Former Sheriff J. s. Johnson re- turned last night from visit to Heber Springs and reports the desti- tuition and destruction is awful in that city. Much more aid is needed than has been provided, Mr. Johnson states, and it was on his report of the situation that Mayor Dawson collect ed relief funds along with thise for this county.
 A great deal of aid has been ex- tended by neighbors in the storm stricken districts of this county, ac- cording to reports received by the Log Cabin Democrat. At Barney a relief committee composed of J. R. Blessing, chairman, J. T. Ingram, sec retary, and A. L. Chambers was or ganized and has done much service to the sufferers. This committee yes terday sent the following report to the Log Cabin Democrat:
 First of all we are thankful to almighty God, that all is as we'll as it is with us. Next we want to thank our many friends for their liberal donations. We have received and distributed a total of about $500 in cash and other supplies, and find the people yet in great need. Luckily the people all saved plenty of corn to lay by their crops on, and we have received plenty of ray. So the thing most needed now is all kinds of fur niture and building material. We have several solicitors out but do not expect them to see all of the people So any one wishing to contribute will please send their contributions to the relief committee or direct to any of the sufferers, and it will be greatly appreciated.

Another freak of the storm of June , was revealed today when Cashier Frank Farris of the Farmers State Bank received deposit slip belong ing to J. w.

Pleasant, in the central part of Izard county, about 60 miles distant, by A. G. Craig, who mailed it back here.
