CHRISTIAN REVIVAL
 SERVICES ATTRACTIVE
One of Features Last Night Was Duet by Prof. Hohgatt and l.. F. Garner,
 "I Am Happy In Him."

One of the interesting features of the revival at ,thel Christian church last night was the duet, q Am Happy In Him." rendered by Prof. HohGatt and l.. P. Garner. The choir also rendered a special number, "The Rag ing. Tempest"
 The crowd was larger even than the night before.
 Dr. Jordan spoke on the subject, "The Great Feast" taking the first Mathew. Hhe described the oriental 1 marriage feast in the most beautiful word picture.
 ''The feast" said the speaker, is emblematic of the great feast when Jesus shall be the bridegroom of the church. The invitation to this first went out to a select crowd, but they paid no attention to it, and then the invitation went out to the same people again. This time they spurned it and turned away from it going to their shops and stores. This is the way some men treat the Gospel today. They are more interested in so many other things than they are in the church. They will not be of use to Christ till they are ready to let go i the other things.
 "The halt, the lame, and the blind were invited after the others had re- fused to come. They filled the house for the feast. but one of those pres ent had not on a wedding garment and he was cast out. So it will be in l the great day. Those who have not l! kept their lives righteous before God will be shut out of eternal glory and happiness. Many will go before the mercy seat in the judgment day, but only a few will be allowed to enter Christ has sent again the invitation to all the world and the opportunity finally neglected will mean that we are lost"
 Today at noon Dr. Jordan will speak at the Cotton Belt shops and Prof Hohgatt will sing. Tonight al l7:45 Dr. Jordan will speak on the subject, Heaven" This is special sermon and all should hear it.

MRS. 7. TANKfRSLEY FIRST WOMAN HERE
 ID PAY POLL TAX
Mrs. R. B. Rice Second to Qualify for Suffrage
 Under Riggs Act.

Mrs. Zack Tankersley was the first Jefferson county woman to pay poll tax and qualify to vote under the Riggs act, extending to Arkansas women the privilege of voting in primary elec- tions. Mrs. R. B. Rice was the second.
 Accompanied by her husband. Mrs. Tankersley appeared at the office of County Clerk c. M. Nichol yesterday forenoon, had her name placed on the assessment rolls by Deputy County Clerk l.. T. Sallee, and then proceeded to the office of Sheriff and Tax Col lector R. H. Williams, where she rendered dollar to Deputy Tax Col lector T. P. Stewart, the receipt being issued by Capt. Sam F. Hilzheim, vet eran deputy tax collector.
 Mrs. Rice paid her poll tax late in the afternoon, after having County Clerk Nichol place her name on the assessment rolls.
 Under the latest ruling of Attorney General Arbuckle women who may de- sire to qualify as voters immediately upon the Riggs law becoming effective on June z, are not compelled to pay the penalty imposed upon man who
 
 sessment period.
 Any woman over 21 years of age, and who has resided in Arkansas for more than one year, may qualify to vote in any primary after June and until the expiration of 1918, according to the attorney-generals opinion, by assessing before April 10, and paying the poll tax. In the application to be placed on the assessment rolls, the ap- plicant must state that the action is voluntary. This is required in order to protect county clerks in the event that there should be litigation over the outcome of primary election, and the reason is found in the fact that while officials are authorized to place the name of delinquent man on the poll tax book, and impose penalty, they are not authorized to follow the same procedure in the case of women.
