THE POLK COUNTY
SINGING CONVENTION

The annual convention OF the sing
ers Of Polk county met at Mena last
Saturday at 10 o'clock with President
c. +. Hill Of Potter IL the chair and
presiding, and secretary w. NJ Mar
tin at the secretary's toble. From
some cause, there were not as many
singers and delegates from different
parts Of the county as was expected.
Neither were the singers of the city
present as we anticipated. Each and
every choir and Sunday school in the
city should have been represented by
delegates who should have assisted
in the singing and the business Of
the convention. AS it was for the up
building of church and Sunday school,
every minister should have been pres
ent, and every other service suspend
ed for it until Sunday night. The
work was Of sufficient Importance to
all churches to demand this. 1t was a
disappointment to the officers and
members to see so few from the
county and the city present. But, the
session was a good one, and was
characterized by good singing and
some splendid and instructive lee
tin at the secretary's table. From
lures. The address on vocal culture
by DR.. Widmeyer of Oklahoma City,
and by S. ]. Oslin on the "Sanctity of
Music" on Saturday night, received
the undivided attention of all present
Then the sermon Sunday at II
o'clock by Doctor Widmeyer on the
subject of music was all the people
expected, and more. He touched upon
the value and influence of music in the
church in it's several phases and also
the history of music in general and in
the church. The convention closed
Sunday at noon.
The following are the officers for
the ensuing year: c. F. Hill, re-elect-
ed president; J. Fl. Mailer, vice-presi-
dent; w. NJ. Martin, secretary; C. B.
Connally, county organizer; s. J. Os-
lin, chaplain, and Mrs. Ella Ward, cor
responding secretary. The minutes
will be printed soon, and all classes in
the county wanting supply can have
same by sending so cents to helpsde-
fray the expenses of printing, to S. ].
Oslin, Chairman of the Executive
Committee. Your class should have
these so that you may known what we
are doing and what we want to do.
Keep in line and in touch with the
musical doings of your county.
Prof. w. II. Livingston of Alabama,
who is holding a normal at Watson,
Ok, was present with several of his
singers, among whom were two Choc-
laws, who added interest to the occas-
ion by their leading in the music for
the convention. They were received
as fraternal delegates from the Nc
Curtain county convention of Oklaho-
ma. Prof. r. r. Smith was received
as fraternal delegate from Sequoyah
county, Oklahoma.
The place of the next session was
left open and will be determined later.
Communities wanting it should not-
fly the president at once, so that the
announcement can be printed with the
minutes . I 0slin

A san Loss mo- MENA.

In the death of A. +. yesterday
Mena loses one of its most loyal adj
vocates and a citizen of the highest
type.
With one exception Mr.. Easterday
was the oldest engineer in the service
Of the Kansas City Southern Railway
He was one Of those sterling men who
IN the very early days of Mena select
ed it as the place most desirable for
residence, and acted on that idea by
acquiring a home, which he later
beautified and brought to the ideal Of
a home-loving man.
When the railroad removed its cen
trail division from Mena, when neces-
sity forced scores of his comrades in
work to give up homes acquired here
and to move elsewhere, Mr.. Easter
day declined to go, and met whatever
Inconvenience that resulted without
complaint--glad to do this for the
privilege of living in Mena. He was
true to his home sown in every act
and deed, and was ever ready to freely
give his part to its every enterprise.
Planning against that day when
age and health might make his retire
ment from the strenuous labor neces-
sary, Mr.. yesterday had acquired res
idence properties near his own, and at
the time the call came workmen were
remodeling these, making them into
homes that would be credit to Mena
and to their owner.
AS an engineer, Mr.. yesterday was,
in skill, and efficiency, conceded to be
among the very best, and in his 81
years Of service had had but single
accident prior to that which resulted
in his death, record truly remark
able. In each accident there was not
the least blame attached to the de-
ceased.
In keeping with his life spirit, while
suffering from the injuries of death,
Mr.. yesterday insisted that those with
him should not bother about him, but
should look after his injured fireman.

DEATH CALLS ANOTHER CITIZEN
Stroke Of Apoplexy Takes of w. r.
Mcmillan.

w. L. Mcmillan, aged Ga years, A
months and II days, died at a o'clock
Tuesday morning at the home of his
son, J. II. Mcmillan, at 1911 Magnolia
avenue from the effects of a stroke of
apoplexy which he suffered late Mon
day afternoon while returning, in COM
pany of Walter Sossaman, from trip
out about two miles on Bethesda ave.
nue.. He was stricken near the home
of DR. and Mrs. w. r. Flick, where he
was taken, and where he was given
emergency treatment by Drs. B. H.
Hawkins and j. G. Hilton, later being
taken to the home on Magnolia ave-
nue., where he passed away without
regaining consciousness.
Mr.. Mcmillan was down town Mon

out on Bethesda avenue with Mr.. Sos
saman to look after some pasture. On
the return, when near the Odd Eel
lows cemetery, their horse became
frightened at an automobile, threw it.
self, and in the consequent excitement,
it is thought that Mr.. Mcmillan be-
came overheated, which brought on
the stroke.
Mr. Mcmillan was born March "a,
1855, at Victoria, Tex He was mar
ried at the same place on August 2,
1875, to Miss Martha Cummings, who,
with the son, J. II. Mcmillan, and the
daughter, Mrs. A. B. Williams, born to
the union, survived the deceased. Mr..
and Mrs. Mcmillan lived most of their
lives in Texas, except that for short
time before coming to Mena six years
ago. they lived in the state of Wash
iagton. When they came to Polk
county they located on a farm Az
miles west of Mena on the Talihina
road, remaining there until coming to
Mena last winter to live with their
son. .
The funeral services were held at
