HOME OF SORROW
NOW COMFORTED
Heart Of City is Opened to Aid
Strickened, SOrrOwing Suf-
fering Family.

The city council Tuesday evening
expressed itself against a mother of
six children being required to rest in
the potter's field in the cemetery, the
council holding the view that a moth
er of that number of children was
worthy Of a better resting place,
once its attention had been called TO
the Beam family of this city.
The case is one that has been at
tracing a great deal of attention in
the third ward and is perhaps one of
the saddest which has been called TO
the attention of the authorities in
some time.
Six little children are left mother
less with only father, who has been
bed-ridden for months, to care for
them and were it not for the highly
commendable spirit of the ladies of
the third ward the condition of the
family would be most acute with the
six children, one just an infant, left
behind without the loving, caressing
attention that a mother gives to her
children.
With her husband i'll in bed Mrs.
Beam had been courageousy facing
cold, hard, bitter world, striving
against what seemed TO be the i'm
possible, the task of feeding, clothing
and caring for FIVE children and a
sick husband.
She obtained work. working until
she could labor no longer. labored
until just before she became the
mother of the sixth child of the fam
Following the birth of the child

dependent upon the loving care of

small children and a sick husband.

and in addition to securing free rent.
which had been granted the mother
by the Little Rock Coal company, the
neighbors came in. Now the ladies
of the third ward have an organiza-
ton formed TO care for this family.
Some lady goes to the home each day,
and cares for the husband and those
little children, striving in this respect
to replace as well she might, the Low
ing care of the departed mother.
A small fund was raised by these
ladies, that the mother, brave and
courageous, the honored mother Of
SIX children, might not lie in the
potter's field.
Then an appeal was taken to the
council, that this fund might be saved
for the purchase of food and clothes
for the family. The council. feeling
the worth of the woman recommend
ed that the Cemetery Board donate TO
the Beam family lot in the cemetery
that the mother of the six children.
worthy Of honor, might find a final
resting place elsewhere than i'm the
potter's field. IL did not seem right
it could not he right-that such a
woman should rest in the potter's
field, just because she had been a
trifle more unfortunate than her sis
ters in the world, which she had so
bravely faced With such sublime cour-
age that all must sooner or later
come right. May she rest and find
the peace that should be hers.

committee Of the House of Repre-
sentatives having before it for its
consideration one small item, which
if t goes through as a portion of
this bill, will call for an appropria-
tion of $4,000 for the purchase of
post Office site in Alma.
When the congressman were asked
to put in their items for this bill,
Joseph w Fordney of this district
promptly presented this item for a
building site in Alma, and it is
"Joe's" intention to see it through
congress if possible, as he realizes
that Alma is highly deserving of
post Office building.
During the past few years the bus
mess of the Alma post Office has
been growing by leaps and bounds,
and the past year the business has
been such that the office is now out Of
the second class and will be known as
first class office. The receipts of

URGES SPECIAL SESSION RAISE
 TEACHER $ PAY
Don Luis. November 24, 1919.

Don Luis, November "A, 1919. Editor Review;
 Your editorial appearing in one of last weeks issues concerning our un- paid teachers hit the nail squarely on the head in my way of thinking A teachers hours, from to 4. sound like short hours. But you will agree with me when I say their duties are not ended when o'clock comes. I had the pleasure of attending .an en- tertainment at the Horace Mann, Jr high school some time ago and it seemed the whole staff of teachers were there as reception committee until 1O:30 D. m., while the principal or the school looked as if the only thing that bothered him was the vel fare Of the children. Another teacher, a girl, who was educated here and lived here most of her life, was a very prominent figure in making the affair a success, which il certainly was.
 It appears to be that the teachers /; put in a lot of overtime that they ! never get paid for. Look at the time some of the teachers put in with the 1 football. basketball, baseball and !. other sports which are all a benefit [ to our children. |
 Let the governor, if he is sincere in calling it deplorable state of af- fairs, call an extra session of the legislature and provide funds for the schools. If that is not possible. why not the school board call mass meeting and see if it is possible to have bond election? Bonds are voted to build the school. Why not bonds to keep them furnished with good, competent teachers?
 I have been around the mines in the Warren district for IS years and I have never yet heard a man com plain about paying school taxes. If the tax was made s350 it would go with the miners just the same, and that would help some.
 Call mass meeting; petition the governor to call an extra session of
