HELENA DISTRICT
 CONFERENCE MEETS

The Helena District Confer ence of the Methodist Church met in the beautiful new Methodist Church of McCrory Thursday. June 27, Rev. w. F. Evans, Presiding Elder, presid- ing. The Rev. John Score of Parkin was elected Secretary.
 While the Conference was not as we'll attended as we had hoped, yet quite a number of preachers and delegates were present, and from beginning to close on Sunday night, much interest was manifested, and when the last word was spok-. en, all pronounced it one of the best district conferences for many years. Dr. Evans directed the affairs of the Con- ference with such skill that there was not a single hitch, and in it all the spiritual tide ran high.
 Reports from the District in- dicated that progress had been made along all lines of church work, and the outlook is that this will be one of the banner years for the district. Sunday was a great day, devoted to the layman's work. Hon. T. B. King delivered the address at II a. m. and it was indeed a great deliverance.
 Sunday evening Rev. B. L. Harris, a former pastor of Nc Crory, preached to the delight of all present, and the closing service was one of the best.
 The people of McCrory did themselvs honor in the enter tainment of the Conference Many homs were opened that could not be supplied with delegates. To all we express our thanks.
 MT. w. E. Jelks of McCrory was elected one of the dele gates to the annual Conference which meets in Clarksville in November.

braced a part of Woodruff and Monroe Counties. We were against the above ditch because we thought it was being wrongfully created, which proved true and the courts kill ed it.
 We favor drainage and other like improvements and have endorsed the Bayou DeView District No. One as a good proposition. But we cannot say that it is being satisfactor- fly conducted when there is so much dissention among the tax payers who have already paid a ditch tax for two years and not as much as boat on hand to do the work.
 The contractor, MT. Cole man, certainly must think he has an easy thing or a past time job by the manner in which he answered the ques- tions thisafternoon. Any per- son who will contract job in which there is more than $100- 000.O0 involved and cannot tell the amount of his bond, the date he was to begin work or when he made the contract as stupendous as this, is not the man to be in charge of such work.
 From the scattering remarks it was found that Coleman Brothers are at the mercy" of one, MT. Dennis, who op- crates a saw mill when his crop and other business will permit. Some of the timbers to be used in building the boat are to be furnished by MT. Den his which he will no doubt do whenever the crops and the weather will permit.
 With the $15O,0OO.OO worth of bonds drawing interest and Coleman Brothers having had the contract for about a year and a half and haven't as much as constructed a boat much less begun to move any dirt, they should be made to either dig the ditch or forfeit their con- tract, the latter of which no doubt would please them best.
 Another meeting will be held in McCrory Friday, July 12, at two o'clock and all tax payers are invited. MT. Beede prom ised to have MT. Burr, the at torney, and the contract and records present at said meet ing.

CARRAWAY TO VISIT ]~ ENGLAND AND FRANCE

w aSnlngCOn, U. C., June Z9. MT. Walter Raney,
 McCrory, Ark.
 Dear sir:
 A committee of members of Congress of which I shall be one are sailing next week for France. It is our expectation while abroad to visit England, Scotland, Ireland, France Italy and Switzerland and if possi- ble, the fighting front in Greece. It is the belief that we should have first hand in- formation of the conditions as they actually exist. 1 myself, hope that it shall prove both interesting and instructive in future legislation.
 1 am persuaded that great economic and social changes must come to us reason of this war. Those countries which have been long engaged have to a certain extent already un- dergone those changes. I feel sure similar changes must come to us. Whether they will be beneficial or hurtful depends upon the spirit in which we meet them. A knowledge of what they are will doubtless help us solve them wisely.
 Another question of vital concern is the re-education and rehabilitation of our soldiers and sailors who shall come back to us maimed beyond the possibility of resuming their former occupations. They must be re-educated and re-trained to pursue some calling suited to their conditions, since no one can be happy unless employed. l know the government has made and will make provisions for their maintenance in a fin- ancial way, yet they will be better citizens and happier men if fitted for some gainful and useful employment. Eng land and France have already made wonderful strides along this line. l want to observe at first hand their methods.
 1 shall also feel amply re- paid for the time and expense and risk incurred if I shall be able to bring to the mothers and fathers of the boys over there a reassuring message of the, conditions under which their sons serve our country.
 If before I sail I can be of service to you, command me The office will be open in my absence for all departmental business.
 With best wishes, I am.
 Sincerely your friend,

DRAINAGE MEETING

ed by the commissioners, F. w. Beede and J. F. Shue of Bayou DeView Drainage District No. One, was held in McCrory to- day, Friday, and about 30 in- terested citizens attended. Although the commissioners, the attorney, the contractor, and the engineer were notified of the meeting, only three at- tended, namely, Messrs. Shue, Beede and Coleman.
 The tax payers were repre- sented by Atty. Roy D. Camp bell of Cotton Plant, who ask ed several questions concern ! ing the bond, contract, etc., but little information was obtained of a definite nature.
 MT. Joe Coleman, repersent- ing and a member of Coleman Bros, the contractors, of Hick- ory Ridge, was present but could give but very little def- nite information concerning the work.
 When asked by MT. Camp. bell how much the amount o1 Coleman Bros. bond he did not know, but thought it was $20,- 900. The attorney asked him when the contract was made and when the work was to be- gin and he replied that he did not remember. His replies tc other questions were just about as intelligent as those mention ed above.
 MT. Shue stated that the re- cords were kept by MT. Beede, the secretary of the board, and when asked some questions concerning the contract and bond he could not give the peo- pie the information sought.
 MT. Beede arrived about the time the meeting was ready to adjourn and in reply to some questions asked by MT. Camp bell said that the contractors bond was for $25,OOO which was $5,00O greater than that stated by MT. Coleman and that the bond was signed by Coleman Brothers and that he thought they were good for the amount.
 MT. Beede stated. further that the $500 forfeit from the original contractors had been paid out in part for attorneys fees and freight. When ask ed as to what time Coleman Brothers were to begin work he said that he would not be sure but that he thought May 15, 1917. He concluded his re- marks by saying: "I believe the Coleman Brothers will have the dredge boat completed in due time and that they will dig the ditch"
 At the close of the meeting MT. Campbell asked that all those present who believed the present contractors would dig the ditch to please stand up, only three men arose, viz: Messrs. Beede, Shue and John son.
