ARKANSAS TO CEiE- RRATE CENTENNIAL.
 IN NOVEMBER.

Arkansas will celebrate the university of its admission as q territory, in the capitol city=Nov. 17-22. It is a State aGair, in which every county is interest ed. A fund of $75. .o00 is being raised to meet the expense of tic celebration. Drew county mus do it's part and be represented at the celebration.
 This k one of the most im- portant events in the history of the State. Dr. Flournoy Shep- person has been appointed chair man of the executive committee of five who will have charge of raising the assessment and col lecting the exhibits in this eoun- ty. The Agricultural Extension force will have immediate charge of the collection of exhibits. One Hundred Years 0f Progress
 For the first time in our his tory, the people of every county of the State have an opportunity to participate in Statewide celebration of Arkansas pro gress and achievement. The seventyfve counties of the com monwealth may join in friendly rivalry in the exhibition of their best products of the farm and field, the mine and mill. at Little Rock,NoEember 17-22. It was a happy thought of those who originated the proposed eel ebration, which is to partake of the nature of q great home-eom- ing for former residents now living elsewhere, of State fair for the display of our resources, and of educational and entertain ment features that will attract thousands from all over the State and adjoining states.
 The hundred years that nave elapsed since the State Was ad- mitted into the Union, as | ter ritory, have been filed with great events and renlete with achievement in industry, com imerce, and the arts of peace. as we'll as the laadable trumDhs Of war.
 Arkansans Are Proud Of Ark
 ansas.
 There has never Eeen g more opportHne time to demonstrate this loyalty and pride of State than now, when the best we can produce is to be assembled at the capital for the insepection of the world. Being a Statewide event, it is right and proper that the whole State should be invited to assist financially in making it success. It has been estimated that it will cost $75,o00 to pro vide for the celebration. but Coy ernor Trough was certainly right when he said that the State could we'll afford to spend $100,000. Pulaski county alone agrees to raise $37,5o0, and a similar amount spread out over "A counties will De merely nominal and be a burden upon no one. There is not a county that should Tot be ready and anXloas to do It's part 10 insure the success of this most worthy undertaking.
 Drew county's loyal citizens pledge their support to the en- terprise, and when the blue rib bons are distributed, they ex- pect to carry off their share of them.

TWENTY EIGHT YEARS AGO, THIS WEEK.
 IN MONTICELLO.

 William Chambers, an aged colored man, died in this city on the 4th of July, on z. T. Woods 5 place. The old man has been working Mr Woods farm for many years.

 Our young friend, Mir. D. s. Wells. is now engaged in the mercantile business at Weather ford, Texas. His many friends, here wish Dave" well.
 Miss Edith Bond, of Texas; who has been visiting relatives and friends in this city, has re- turned to her home.
 There is, once more, some talk of extending the Monticello Branch road to Camden. We trust that it will not all end in talk. Qt hasen't TWenty-eignt years and We are still talking about what an advantage it would be.)
 There has been several real estate transfers made in city property lately. Among the numbers, Prof. J. H. Hinemon purchased the home of T. H. Jaggers and J. H. Maloney pqr- chased the residence of Mrs. s. E. Cole.
 There is bright future for Monticello if it's citizens will take advantage Of circumstances and make the town what it should be. When all the business houses now in process of construction are finished, it will be the pret- tiest town in the State, and then it should be cleaned up from one end to the other and arrange ments made for water-works to keep it clean. Add to this a few factories, electric lights. &c., and with our excellent schools and grand churches, the town will take the front rank and stay there.
 Col. T. M. Wilmington has a beautiful artificial lake or pond on his Caster Hill place. It is fed by a spring, and is as clear as glass. He has it stocked with white perch and other game fish.

Catholic Bishop to Visit Meeker

Word has come to us from Father
H. b. Stern, pastor Of the Holy Fam
lily Church. Meeker, that the Rt
Rev John Henry Then, DID, bishop
of the Catholic diocese Of Denver
will visit Mseker Sept 10Th, at 4P.M.
to administer the Sacrament Of Con-
firmation. Up to the present seven
teen persons have presented and pre-
pared themselves for the reception Of
that sacrament.
According to Catholic teachings
confirmation is sacrament Of the
new law, instituted by Jesus Christ,
giving grace, strengthening, and
confirming the believer In his faith,
hence the word Confirmation.
Confirmation having been admins
tered, the bishop addresses both the
conflrmants and all the faithful. In
view OF his ability as a speaker, his
sermon is anticipated with great
pleasure and expectation.
Bishop Then has been on the
Chautauqua Platform for 26yrs, his
experience therefore coupled with
natural graces make him an orator
OF note.
After the confirmation between 5
and 6 PM. a reception will be ten
bered the bishop at the Commercial
Club. An address to the people OF
Meeker by his lordship will mark
the closings of the festivities.
The Episcopal itinery at this time
comprises Aspen, GlenwoOd Springs,
Rifle, Meeker, Grand Valley, New
Castle, Eagle and Red Cliff.

The Making Of the Pup

Citizens of Meeker will be inter-
ested in reading Ordinance No. III,
which appears In this issue of The
Herald. The ambitious scheme Of
town improvements outlined will be
an expensive one for property own
ers. But-private individuals are
making a fine showing this year In
the way Of handsome new residences
and business structures and others
must get into the progressive band
wagon and help along In the up
building of Meeker, which has been
so auspiciously begun.
The improvement procession must
be kept moving forward. All Of
which reminds us Of u short iliustrat-
ed story we ran across some time
ago.
An up-to-date kid had been pre-
sented with bull pup. The kid
and his dad agreed that the pup
should be properly trained, and to
that end the kid induced his dad to
get down on hands and knees and
bark. The kid then gave the order
"Sic 'em, Bullo." And Bullo pro-
ceeded to grab Pop" by the right
ear. Poor old -uPop'- ysised, 'sTske
EN- off," The kid" yelled, "Grin
and bear 1t Pop; 1t may be hard on
you, but 1t will be the maxim Of the
pup"
The improvements outlined may
be hard on property owners, but they
will be the making Of this good old
town Of Meeker.

A BIG GAS SRIKE!
One of Lagest Natural Cas- "Gushers" in the
History of the Country is Uncovered in
The White River Field

A mild wave Of excitment passed
over Meekerites, Tuesday, when
word came up from White River Of
a big gas strike in one Of the White
River Oil and Gas company wells.
During the following two days
several town people, who are stock
holders in the company, went down
to White River and first reports were
verified.
The volume of escaping gas is i'm
mense, and as 1t issues out Of the
drill hole, can be heard for miles
around,
The first thing done was to remove
the drilling plant far enouh away to
The Meeker herald., 1919-09-13

prevent the escaping gas from ignit-
Ing. Now efforts are being made to
ease it in" and stop the flow.
Those who have seen gas strikes in
the East say it Is the greatest volume
OF escaping gas they have ever seen.
Anywhere but Meeker the strike
would create great excitement.
Here its value and Importance is
dulytrecognized, but nobody gets ex-
cited.
The White River Oil a. Gas comp
any has now proved the value of its
gas field. The company will continue
operations to prove that good oil
field exists at White River.
