BRANNAN.

A real old fashioned revival meet ing was had at New Hope last week, the services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. w. Talkington, and Rev. J. E. Wire of McRae.
 No announcement has been made yet as to when the revival meeting will begin at Brannan.
 The school at Grammar was dis missed Thursday for the teachers and all the pupils to attend church ser vices at New Hope, where Rev. Talk ington addressed the children in a splendid way in the afternoon serv- ices. The children seemed to enjoy the occasion. We should have these services oftener and try to awaken an interest amongst the children. We should instill right principles in them while they are young. We fear that we as a whole have neglected to teach these principles. Especially do we think this from the many accounts that we read of so many crimes being committed that we have neglected a duty which we owe our children and our country. Our own county had a larger docket to dispose of at this session of circuit court than at nearly any previous term and the only rem edy to eliminate crime is to instill true principles in to the young gener- ation that is now growing up. This great responsibility is resting large ly upon the parents of this noble county.

WANT CONWAY IN
 BASEBALL LEAGUE

Several Morrilton citizens are en- deavoring to interest Conway in or
 ganizing a ball club and entering the
 Western Arkansas League next sum
 mer. The league now composes clubs in six towns, Morrilton, Atkins, Rus sellville, Dardanelle, Clarksville, Ozark and Altus. In order to make
 more compact circuit, Morrilton and some of the other towns would like to drop Ozark and Altus and take in Conway and Russellville. This would give six-team league in which the longest jump would be Conway to Clarksville, about 70 miles. and the average jump would be prob ably less than 20 miles. Hard-sur- faced highways will soon connect all six towns and many of the trips could be made in automobiles, saving railroad fares.
 The Western Arkansas League is now constituted on a strictly amateur. no-salary basis, players on each team being restricted to bona fide citizens of the county in which the town is situated. Each club plays two games a week, or 36 games during the sea son. There is a strong but friendly rivalry between all the clubs in the league and the games attract large crowds.
 For midsummer diversion, when there are no college sports in Con- way, a baseball club here would be of much interest. On the present basis the expense of operating such club would be small and it is be lieved there would be no danger of mourning a deficit
