EVANGELIST FULL OF ENERGY
 AND PLEASES HIS HEARERS
Dr. Lee Stark Promises Mena Real Revival at M. E. Church. South
 More Room Needed.

Judging from the first appearance in Mena of Rev. Lee Starke, they'll have to enlarge the M. E. church, South, to accommodate the crowds that will be out to hear him before the week is over. The Rev. MT. Starke appeared at the revival serv- ices Tuesday night and at once won favor with the congregation. He doesn't look like Billy Sunday, but he's just as athletic and active as the famous baseball evangelist. and after he gets warmed up it is certain that Dr. Starke is going to give the Mena churchgoers redhot revival of re- ilgion. Everyone that was in the crowd that filled the auditorium Tues day night is due back tonight with friend or so, and it is doubtful lt there will be room in the big church for all. The evangelist has already made big hit with the ladies of the church. Before he came to Mena he was advised by the pastor not to bring singer, as the church had splendid choir. After Dr. Starke had heard the NJ. c. M. c. sing Tuesday night he declared the music was much better than he had expected, and he was sur prised to find such an excellent musi- cal organization in a city the size of Mena.

HIGHWAY RUNORS
 AND SOME FACTS
Two Contractors in Districts Affected by Court Decisions Have Quit. Main Force Goes On--EHorts Pending
 to Smooth the Wrinkles.

Rumors that the Jefferson Highway project had gone glimmering fioated upon Mena's streets Wednesday morn ing, and caused almost as much vast ed talk as the electric light situation.
 Ole Miss Rumor had it the contrac- tors had stopped work, the district had lost the federal aid and the antis had called jubilation meeting.
 An inv Sestigation proved that most of the rumors were founded on noth- ing more substantial than the opinions of persons who were pessimisticalIy inclined. There was a basis of fact for some of the talk but not much.
 The facts in regard to the contrac- tors quitting the work were true in- solar as they related to A. H. Rhodes, who has force of 20 men and teams at work south of Hatfield, and Bert Higginbottom, who had about the same sized force at work between Wickes and Grannis. Both these con tractors have stopped work, together with the two crews of concrete bridge workers working with them.
 However, the main force of highway workers, those who are working un- der the direction of Contractor L. H. Lybrand, between Mena and Hatfield, had not stopped working, and there was little liklihood they would
 The Rhodes anj IIiggintottom con- struction clews were called off be- cause both were working on sections of the highway that were effected by the supreme court decision in the Nunes case. Until an adjustment of the differences between the district officials and property owners can be had, it is not likely further construc- ticii work will be attempted, save in places where there is no objection.
 The report that the district is to lose federal aid appears to be main ly the opinion of those who can't see anything but gloom ahead. The fed eral road officials have approved the entire right-of-way and have refused to approve it should the right-of-way be located in some places. But that doesn't mean that the entire federal aid promised the project will be re- fused because of any one deviation from the original route.
 A series of meetings with the ob- iecting property owners in the vicin- ity of Cove, Hatfield and Wickes is being arranged, and it is hoped an un- derstanding will be reached at these gatherings that will prevent the filing of suits threatened against the dis trict. The highway commissioners will probably hold the first of these meetings at Hatfield Thursday.
 One Amicable Agreement.
 Wednesday,, at meeting in Mena, one serious difficulty on the route of the highway entering Hatfield from the north was adjusted. This was on the section where the highway crossed the farms of Joe Tnders and R. R. Miller. and has been hard problem to solve satisfactorily.

PRISONERS TO PEN BY TRUCK
Sheriff Thornton Starts Overland With Six and Expects to Arrive in Day Innovation Was a Matter.
 of Economy.

Unique among methods used in con veying prisoners to the state peniten- tiary was that of Sheriff J A. Thorn ton, who Tuesday morning started for Little Rock with truck load. In the party were six prisoners, all of whom were convicted of crime at the last term of circuit court The sextet of prisoners included Mrs. Arley John son and Lee Mozier, moonshiners; Eearl Culp, Earl Fowler and Jesse Beck, convicted for burglary and lar- ceny; L. H. Beckwith, convicted of forgery
 The party. started on the 150 mile journey to the walls in one of the county's government trucks. John Martin was at the wheel. Sheriff Thornton and Deputy D. A. Hazel were in charge and Master Jim Thorn ton was the guest of honor. A start on the unusual trip was made from the county jail at a. m. Sheriff Thornton believes that with no bad luck he and his prisoners will reach the penitentiary by midnight at the latest. The itinerary will be by way of Mt. Ida and Hot Springs.
 The prisoners left the Polk county jail in the best of spirits and ex- pressed pleasure at being able to get chance to reach the penitentiary without having to make the trip by train. The prisoners all thanked Mrs. Thornton for her kindness to them. particularly those who have been longest at the jail. Some of the men have been confined there fully six months.
 Sheriff Thornton is using the motor truck method of travel because of the economy of the system. He is paid out of state funds for taking prison CTS to the penitentiary and it seems that the state is slow pay in his re- spect, as Sheriff Thornton hasn't been paid for trips made more than year ago. Rather than invest more heavily the local officer decided to use cheap CT method of transportation.
