COurier-Inder Awarded Prize of $50
As Best Weekly Paper in Arkansas

1t is contrary to the policy of the management of
the COurer-ndex to indulge in self praise to throw
boques at the paper that is the product of much hard
labor and at least average expenditure of brain
ergy but when committee consisting of officers of
the State Press Association awards first prize to the
CourierIndex because it is the best a-round weekly
newspaper in Arkansas, the editor may be pardoned
if he feels little proud and he may go step further
and presume the readers of the paper will share his
feeling of qualification because Mariana institution
has gained distinction sought by than score
of other weekly newspapers in Arkansas.
To particularize: Several weeks ago the manage
ment of the Courier-Index received communication
from the Mergenthaler Linotype Company of New Or
leans stating it would offer three cash prizes of $50
$50 and 500 to be awarded to the three best weekly
chine the papers to be judged general appearance
neaness, arrangement and quantity of Linotype pro-
duct used. We were advised that if desired to
ter the CourerIndex in the contest should select
two copies of any regular issue of the paper from jan
uary to April Is. The papers were to be placed in
the hands of committee composed of officers of the
Arkansas Press Association at the meeting of the
sociaton in Little Rock on May 1920
Two copies of the Courier-Index of April IL, were
sent to the Mergenthaler Company at New Orleans
with instructions to have them entered in the contest
On Wednesday of this week announcement made
in Little Rock that first prize had been awarded to the
Courer-ndex second prize to the Courer-Democrat at
Russeyille and third prize to the Courier at Benton
Twenty-three Arkansas weekly newspapers entered the
contest In announcing the award of prizes the Arkan
sas Gazette of Wednesday said the papers judged
on general appearance, neatness makeup, composition
of display ads and proportion OF reading matter to dis
play ads.

GREAT DAY FOR
THE METHODISTS
WITHIN FEW HOURS LAST SUN.
DAY AFTERNOON LOCAL CON.
CRECATION EXCEEDED ITS
QUOTA IN DRIVE.

This week marks the closing of the
greatest campaign in the history of
the Methodist church. 1t has not
been a campaign centered in money
matters only, but has encouraged
in the lives of the people three dis
tinct features: Fellowship of In
tercession, Stewardship of Life and
Stewardship of Property Inciden-
tally the plan called for the raising
of thirty-five million dollars to be
distributed over a period of five
years.
The North Arkansas annual con-
ference voluntarily raised it's quota
from eight hundred fifty thousand
dollars to one million dollars. The
Forrest City district had as its quota
lone hundred twenty five thousand
dollars. This district is composed of
the following counties: Phillips,
Lee, ST. Francis, Cross, Woodruff,
eastern half and Monroe. There
are twenty-four pastoral charges in
this district, and M. E. Newbern
was district campaign director over
them. He stated Wednesday morn
ing that the district had already ex-
ceeded its quota by fifteen thousand
dollars and was still going. This
makes total pledge to date of one
hundred forty thousand dollars.
In the church here in Mariana
the quota was twenty eight hum
'dred eighty dollars per year, or
fourteen thousand four hundred
for the five year period. j. Ol
Payne, the local director, stated
that two hundred seventy one pledg-
es had been made to date (more to
come) amounting to eighteen thous-
and, three hundred sixty seven dol
lars and fifty cents. This together
with the credits on regular mission
airy contributions for the five year
period will make the grand total at
this present time twenty-five thous-
and two hundred twenty-five dollars
and fifty cents.
Mr.. Payne was ably assisted by a
Team Of forty men and women on
last Sunday afternoon in raising
this fund.
1t would be well to state that
these funds are to be used in a great
Reconstruction program" for the
world. It covers every line of mis-
sionary activities at home and
abroad. Five million dollars will be
used in rebuilding the spiritual life
Of France.

P. F. Newell, formerly demonstra-
tor for Lee county, was here the
latter part of last week receiving a
most hearty welcome from his many
friends. Mr.. Newell resigned his
work with the agricultural forces
and entered the officers training
school at Leon Springs, Texas, in
january, 1918. He received COM
mission as lieutenant and was inn
mediately sent overseas with con-
tingent of American troops that
were thrown into the heavy fighting
in Belgium to stop the German drive
in the spring of 1918. Mr.. Newell
saw much heavy fighting and was
severely wounded in the neck with a
machine gun bullet. Reports were
received here to the effect he had
died from his wounds and it was
not definitely known he had recover
ed until he returned from overseas
several weeks ago. Mr.. Newell
says he expects to invest in a farm
in Mississippi.
