 The guests were then ushered into the parlor. which was also emblemat- ically decorated with massive hive, and the Bees" were seated in a circle underneath this emblem that means so much to every loyal Maccabee. A de- lightful hour was spent in talks of the order Mrs Sallie D. Ross of Morril- ton. state deputy. was present and gave very helpful and instructive talk on it's history and growth.
 At the conclusion of the program dainty refreshments of ice cream and cake also in the colors of the order, were served. XX

A Robber.

Will man rob God?' Yes, he does It when he does not spend some time in worship on Gods appointed day There are les hours in the week and all this time belongs to God. as David said My times are in thy hands. and when God permits us to use and enjoy this time for our own use and accord ing to our own will We truly rob Him when We positively refuse to give Him worship on his appointed day and in his appointed place. Are you guilty. Can God accept your excuse for robbing Him?
 You and your friends are cordially invited to the following pleasant and profitable services next Sunday in Dermott's popular homelike church Sunday Bible School at 9:45. morning service at II. subject Times for Thought evening service at s. sub ject. The Good Shepherd,
 The physical comfort is looked after in these services as we'll as the spir- itual benefit and helpfulness and these combined with pleasant fellowship make everyone feel that it is good to go into the house of the Lord.

To Chicot County
 School Boards.

The school directors of the county held meeting on June 27th, and at this meeting attempted to acquaint them with the duties of this office as outlined in the school laws. A few districts were not represented, and l am using the press of the county Tn order to reach both the school directors and the tax payers.
 The law requires me to keep an ac- count with every district in the county similar to the one kept by the county treasurer, but in addition to this l am required to pass on all orders for maps. globes. charts and ALL OTHER SCHOOL SUPPLIES. 1 assure you that this IS one duty that may not prove to be pleasant unless | have the hearty CO operation of the directors, but regard less of this shall be compelled to com ply with the law.
 am glad to say that our directors present at the meeting expressed themselves as being heartily Tn favor of assisting in these provisions, and | am sure that all of the directors will be glad to help US l have found that a great deal of money has been wasted heretofore in the purchase of supplies because directors, who are busy men. were not acquainted with current prices for school supplies. and as a re suit someone was able to reap large profit on orders.
 If you contemplate the purchase of any school supplies, please send me copy of the order. and if the prices are right of course l small approve the order. l cannot act as an agent for any concern. but l keep copies of prices on supplies.
 understand that this law applies to special as well as common districts. Also supplies purchased from local dealers are included If the orders are approved beforehand warrants will be paid in the usual way If this Is not done the warrants will not be paid un- til the orders are approved.
 So you can see readily that II Is best to send me copies of orders or con tracts for supplies before warrants are issued for same.
 For my personal convenience this IS distasteful duty, but 1 am sure that 1t is a splendid law if enforced. and l cannot do otherwise
 Respectfully,
 D. T. Henderson.
 County Superintendent.
