RETAIN CONNECTIONS
 WITH M. & N. A. ROAD
MISSOURI PACIFIC WILL CON. TINUE ARRANGEMENT OF STOPPING AT CROSSING
 NORTH OF LEXA.

Thos. E. Wood, chairman of the Arkansas railroad commission, has written a personal letter to the editor of the Courier-Index in which he states he has taken up with Mis- souri Pacific officials the matter of continuing the arrangement of stop- ping trains at the M. & N. A. cross- ing about two miles north of Lexa for the convenience of passengers who wish to go north on the M. G N. A. In view of the fact that the railroad officials are endeavoring to take off the passenger train that now makes this stop, MT. Wood took the matter up with the company to ascertain if the other train would make this stop in the event the court overruled the order of the commission forbidding the removal of train No. BOT. MT. Wood also gives some information with refer ence to the contemplated work on the new passenger station here. Ex- tracts from his letter on these two subjects follow:
 ''Upon the complaint of citizens of Marianna, took up with the Mis- souri Pacific officials the question of making a stop at the Missouri < North Arkansas crossing, mile or two north of Lexa with Passen- ger train BOT. ? Tt seems that in the past any, one desiring to make the transfer would be carried to Lexa and neces- sarily this would require walking back about two miles in the hot sun. I found there was consider able travel around this way and as the connection at Helena is very close great deal of inconvenience as we'll as needless expense was caused by the travelling public.
 Under date of July 20th, was informed by T. R. Nash, acting SUD- erintendent, that effective July 20th Train No. BOT would make the stop at M. & N. A. Crossing. Under- standing it was the intention of the company-and still is-to endeavor to remove Train No. BOT, I took up with them the question of making the stop on Train No. 835. am informed that Train No. BOT is now making the stop and in event it is removed Train No. 835 will make this stop.
 "You might give publicity to this stop as there are great many peo- pie at Marianna who desire often to make this transfer to this point.
 T telephoned Supt. Dean this morning relative to the Marianna station and asked him if he knew what progress was being made. He told me that MT. Robertson. vice president and chief operating off, cer. had suffered a general break down in health and was in Maine for stay of few weeks and as MT. Robertson had been handling the station matter he was not advised. think I shall wait until MT. Rob- ertson comes back and if he tells me then that conditions are such he cannot carry out his promises regarding the station, will come to Marianna and confer with your citizenship. If after this conference, it is desired that the commission shall handle formally, I will be guided by their wishes"

CONGRESSMAN CARAWAY
 AT HOME ON VISIT

Jonesboro. Aug. S.-Congressman T. H. Caraway of ttis district arr rived home last night, coming es- pecially in response to an invitation to deliver an address at the picnic at Big Lake tomorrow given by tte Jonesboro Chamber of Commerce.
 In an interview among other things said by Mir. Caraway regard ing the war was
 sThe quicker We prepare. the more certain the victory and the sooner the termination Of the conflict. If we do our whole duty, and l am sure we will, my honest judgment is that this war cannot last year and that it will be crowned with com plete American victory. If we falter and criticize and hold back our sup port we will prolong the conflict and cost the lives of many of our citi- zens. Therefore. the patriotic ana the selfish interest both urge upon us a whole-hearted support of the president during the continuation CT tbis war. because our patriotic duty demands 1t aud our interests are served best by It..
 The many friends of MT Caraway her are delighted to welcome him aome for a few days d to see him looking SO wei'.

 We feel very grateful indeed for these donations. It requires lots Of materials to carry on this work for humanity and every little will help us to do the work we have started to do. We have entered into this work with heart and soul and have taken God to be our leader and our guide, and with Him to guide and lead we are going to go right on with our work just as long as duty calls, for patriotism and religion should go hand in hand. The love of God comes always first, but the love of country should come second in the hearts of men and women. This has been So since the infancy or the world. The call of country rings today in the ears of all with clear distinctness that can never be hush ed. Mothers yield their sons, wives their husbands and lovers their dreams of happiness and hope or life. It is they who make the sacrl- flee for God and for their country. and it is the duty of every man ana every woman in this great free America to do their bit, to help give all the comforts we can to those brave men who have sacrificed loved ones. homes and everything to fight for your country and for you, that we may still live here in that great peace and freedom that We have en- ;oyed for so many years.
 Ladies and gentlemen we want members for this Red Cross society here in our little city. Just think of only one dollar per year for mem bership dues; only 8 1-2 cents per month. Oh how small! II every man. woman and child in Marianha and Lee county would become mem hers of the Red Cross what won derful lot of work we could do to boln our soldiers and their depeh' dent families. We have Soo mem hers now. Who will help to make our membership 500? We can do It. Marianna can accomplish anything she wants to do. Just think our iit- flo neighbor here in Phillips county Maryell-has a Red Cross society oi 800 members. Why can't Mariahha have 600?
