MANY MORE REUNIONS

In a dispatch from Atlanta about the forthcoming reunion of the heroes of the Confederacy there is line about the plans for special gathering of the veter- ans who rode kith Forrst. It is stated that maybe 300 of these veterans will be there. In itself, tls news IS not out of the ordi- nary. It would be read and pass ed along with the current Items of the day except for the mere mention, buried at the end of the dispatch, that this will probably be the last reunion of Forrest $ men.
 Ii does not take philosophic mind to contemplate or to appre- ciate the work of time. Often enough we are reminded that we grow old. The eye that ill the run of the years grows dim, or the arm, strong when youth was in flower, that is now weak, reminds us of the distant sunset. Happily for the tranquility of the human mind, We find that the pleasures which make life cheerful and the satisfaction that comes from our daily tasks we'll performed re- lieye Us of the thoughts of grow ing old. IL is well that this is so. Otherwise the mere living of life which must round out its end in the despair of such reflections would be miserable.
 But, however pleasing it is to us to be thus fortified against the prospect of approaching years, yet there Is something in our na- tures that obhges us to pause and ofttimes drop tear when we real ize that those who are near and dear to Us are growing old.
 Such an impulse strikes the heart of the south at the thought that now the heroes who rode with Forrest are to gather for the last time.
 Fortunately the reflection that these heroes may never again feel the thrill of the bugle note or march in solemn tread behind their tattered banners does not mean that their days in the land are gone. Many years are yet before them. These are the years f happiness and joy The stories of their valor and their deeds live and ripen in the hearts of grateful people. They may never gather again, these boys of 60 years ago, but they will live on We shall gather them around the fireside and as we unite our hearts with theirs in sweet mem- ories and tender thoughts and consecrate again and again our

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE

Whatever the lot of the men, the Salvae,t1 Army is found with them.
 This is thetestimony of Lieut. Colonel Roosevelt who was in a position to observe the work of the Salvation Army soldiers at the front.
 Evangeline Boothe Command er-in-Chief of the Salvation Ar my, says: The lavish eulogy and sincere affection bestowed by. the nation upon the organization can only account for by the sim pie fact that our ministering members have been in spirit and reality with the men.
 That Is undoubtedly the se- cret of the grip upon the men dur ing the war, the universal esteem Ill which the army IS now, held and the success of the greater mission upon which ire organl- ZatIon Is now entering.
 not so many years ago the Saliva tion Army was practically un- known in Arkansas, and now there are corps only at Little Rock, Hot Springs and Fort Smith. \ campaign is under way now that will greatly extend this work. Buildings costing S150,- 000 are to be erected at these three points, and corps are to be established at Pine Bluff. New port, Paragouid and Helena. The work of the Salvation Army is such that these seven points will come into eontact with every community of the state. But that this may be made more complete # Is planned 10 have a permanent chairman in each county, and a Representative in each township. all of them volunteer workers.

CANNED SERMONS.

Only the other day it was an- nounced that the political cam paign this fall would be character ized by canned speeches" deliv- cred into the throbbing ears of photographic records in Washing ton, by party orators, and distri- buted over the country to edify audiences unreachable by stump speakers in person.
 Hardly is the public reoonciled to that innovation than more startling use of the same device is proposed. It is canned ser mons.
 Let no irreverent reader re- mark at this point, that a good many sermons already seem to have come out of cans, or worse still, that sermons in general ought to be canned. The pro- posal is seriously intended to meet a serious situation and de- serves respectful reception. x
 A Presbyterian conference at Lake Geneva, Wis, reports that 5000 out of 10000 pulpits are va cant. It is impossible to fill these pulpits, for the present at least. A high office of church there fore suggests that until pastors are found for them, they shall be ords of approved sermons

IMMORAL BOOKS

The ban recently placed upon a
certain book and the arrest and
bailing of the publisher of the same,
brings to mind conditions which
prevailed in Alexandria and vicinity
during the war between the states.

was in camp near Alexandria, and
thousands of peddlers catered to
the appetites of the soldiers. OBJ

many sons of Mars. and as there
was comparatively little law against

DOES

A Savings Account encour-
ages thrift, economy and the

broadening and developing his
character and aiding him to
master and overcome the temp
tations to yield to those petty
appetites and passions of our
human nature which dissipate
our earnings. 1t makes us
better men and women, works
for our uprightness Of conduct,
and adds an endearing charm

ems our patriotism and endears
us to our country, and makes

GERMANS THINK U. S. COAL

ton of American coal in quantities
sufficient to relieve Germany's need is
regarded by the press as inconceiv-
able, owing to the cost. Although
German-American negotiations have
resulted in an offer to send America
coal to this country. it Is said, the
price is so high, owing 10 ireleht
rates and foreign exchange. that the
importation of coal in large quantities
is out of the question.

contracted for American coal at 470
marks per ton for distribution in
Berlin and Hamburg. but will be CIV
