Megibben to Manage
 ParagOuLd Theatre

R. T. Megibben, who planned the handsome Regent Theatre in Mari anna and who recently sold the property to MT. Ellis of Cleveland, Miss, is spending a few days in Marianna while he is waiting for Mann & Gatling, architects of Mem phis, to draw plans for swell new theatre to be erected in Paragould by Bertig Brothers, capitalists of that city. MT. Megibben spent last week in Paragould closing arrange ments with Bertig Bros., for long time lease on the building. An ar ticle appearing in the Memphis News Scimitar of Wednesday with refer ence to the proposed new theatre for Paragould, says:
 "A picture show with seating ca pacity of one-sixth the total popu- lation of the town is the record of Paragould, Ark. Bertig Bros; Par agould capitalists and R. T. Me- gibben formerly of Marianna, are at the head of the new picture show company. Mann X Gatling, local architects, have drawn plans for the building which will be 50 by 140 feet, and will be equipped with a 26-foot regulation stage, in order to accommodate any Legitimate" shows which may come. Seating ca pacity is to be 1000. The building will be of brick and tile.
 "Mr. Megibben explains the large seating capacity by saying that Paragould is a thoroughly modern town, with practically everyone in the town desirious of seeing good shows. He says that out of such a town with a population of $500, his 1000 seats will always be fill ed."

R. M. Jordan, manager of the Bott Bros. stave mill here, was ser iously injured about II o'clock this morning when a stave bolt struck him on the forehead and perhaps fractured his skull. MT. Jordan was experimenting the unloading of a car of bolts at the mill in South Marianna when one of the heavy bolts fell off the stack on the car and struck him with terrific force

on the forehead. He was rushed to the office of Dr. H. D. Bogart where first aid treatment was given him. An examination of his injury showed it to be so serious that he was taken to Memphis on the noon train. MT. Jordan was accompanied by Dr. Bogart and by Mrs. Jordan. At the time of leaving here Mir. Jor- dan had not regained consciousness from the effects of the blow.

And OCT the number of thy years. The mystic glory swims away;
 From off my bed the moonlight dies; And closing caves of wearied eyes I sleep till dusk is dipt in gray; And then l know the mist Is drawn A lucid veil from coast to coast;
 And in the dark church like a ghost Thy tablet glimmers to the dawn. cannot see the features right
 When on the gloom l strive to paint The face l know the hues are faint And mix with hollow masks of night Cloud-towers by ghostly masons wrought, A gulf that ever shuts and gapes,
 A hand that points, and paled shapes In shadowy thoroughfares of thought.
 
 Till all at once beyond the will

 And in the midmost heart of grief Thy passion clasps a secret joy; To Sleep I give my powers away;
 My will is bondsman to the dark; I sit within helmless bark, And with my heart 1 muse and say: o heart how fares it with thee now, That thou should'st fail from thy de- sire,

 And since the grasses round me wave, I take the grasses of the grave. And make them pipes whereon to piow.

Sir: There is great shortage Of
farm laborers now, and farmers conso-
quently are not planting their usual
acreage Of food crops, and there VIII
be shortage of food this year. Not
long ago there were strikes of coal
miners and demands made for hve-dav
week because there was not work enough
to keep them employed through the en-
tire year.
Why cannot some arrangement be
made whereby men who can be spared
from the mines work on the farms in
summer and return to the mines in the
fall?
1t would seem to me that fcw
months work in the opep fields in sum
mer would be an agreeable change.
