he added. And az we like to call on
our friends we're glad that they, in

All" said the Persian Lilacs, 1--WE
love to have you care for us. We try
to be as pretty and as fragrant as we
can be. OF course you know that fra.
grant means the same as sweet smell
ing. and we like to make the air smell
so sweet. That is what we like to do.
I'VE like TO look our best, too. We
like to look feathery and dainty. OF
course were not feathcry, but our
blossoms are dainty and smaller In
size than those of the regular purple
lilacs and the white lilacS.
Were supposed to be a little bit
more unusual than they are, in fact,
quite bit more unusual.
1--WE come after they have blossomed
their very best and as they are be-
ginning to leave.
And we love to come out In this
lovely garden where there is a regular
parade of flowers from early spring
until late in the autumn. There is
never a time during these seasons
that this garden isn't full of lovely
flowers.
"Thcre are columbincs Of all colOrs
in the very early summer here. Some
Of them are lavender and some of
purple. some are of white and some
Of yellow, some are of pink and some
are salmon pink, and some are of rose
pink color. Oh, the columbines come
dressed in all sorts of lovely dresses.
"Some of them like to wear soft
shades of color and others like to wear
brighter shades.
''Then there are the pansies with
their dear little faces. How many
there are Of them in the garden. There
is one Of gray and lavender. and IT
looks like a dear, sweet old lady with
a smile on her face, dressed in lovely
shades Of gray and lavender.
There will be red peonies and white
peonies soon and then will come the
midsummer flowers and later the as
tiers and the autumn flowers.
"But when tina flowers come they
are all welcomed by the birds and the
bees and by the people, too. 1t is so
good to be welcomed as we are. We
couldn't look anything else but our
best when we get such gorgeous

And the Persian Lilacs nodded their

NEW BUSINESS
 BY THE 40. U.W.
cpT FNDID WORK BEING. DONE RY THE STATES GREATEST FRATERNAL BENEF ICIARY -0RDER. SAYS MIR. FRAZER.

One hundred thousand dollars in new business, written the first week of October, is the record that has been made by the Ancient Order of United Workmen, according to an announcement made yesterday by Tohn R. Frazer, Grand Master Work man. This more than doubles the first week of September, the begin hing of the 53d anniversary ami yersary campaign of the Order, which will conclude the last week of the month.
 "The easy pay monthly plan of the A. o. U. W. appeals to the peo- pie generally" said MT. Frazer. we find that there has never been a great CT interest in fraternal insurance than exists at this time. The gains in mem- bership throughout the state have been phenomenal and indications are that they are only beginning. The membership of the subordinate lodges is everywhere loyal and energetic and are doing their utmost to make our anniversary campaign the greatest event in the history of the Order. The social features and the fact that men and women are admitted on equal terms and enjoy the same priv ileges are also a strong factor in the popularity of the A. o. U. W. The spirit of fraternalism and good fel- lowship is everywhere emphasized" "
 The anniversary campaign will conclude the last week in October. On October g West End Lodge will initiate the Supreme Foreman John R. Frazer Glass and the Past Supreme Representatives of the state will be guests of honor. On October 27 Cap itol Lodge will initiate the Governor Thomas C. McRae Glass and all state officers who are members of the Or der will be guests of honor. Elabo- rate programs are being arranged for both meetings. The ritualistic work will be exemplified in full form by the degree teams of the two lodges, who will appear for the first time in their new uniforms.
 Last Thursday night MT. Frazer gave the first part of the new illus tated lecture on "The New South, " at West End Lodge meeting and the second part will be given next Thurs day night when the Arkansas pictures will be presented.
 MT. Frazer has just been notified ot his appointment as member of the committee on State of the Order and Statistics of the National Fra ternal Congress.

MT. CARMEL.


 The chicken supper at the school house Saturday night was largely at- tended, and quite nice sum was realized. Two lovely dresser scarfs were rallied off for the prettiest girl and prettiest married woman. Miss Fla Snow won the scarf for the pret- tiest girl; Miss Sadie Smith of Gravel Ridge was her opponent. Mrs. Kath- crime Herman won the scarf for the prettiest married woman. Mrs. Dodge was her opponent. The guest cake brought quite a nice little sum. Frank Dodge made the guess that won the cake. He guessed cork screw, knowing there was no other place this day and time where they could be used so conveniently as be- ing placed in a cake The sales from the supper, dresser scarfs and cake amounted to $35.l0, and Mrs. Bryant turned in two donations, $l.00 from Mir. Ike Runyan of the Crystal Ice plant and $l.50 from MT. Lem Fisk of North Little Rock, which made $37. .60-that we think is doing fine for so small a place as Mt. Carmel. The ladies of the 5. I. A. donated nine big fat hens and such another chicken stew you rarely see. Hot chocolate and cake was also served, and right here verse we once had published in this little paper would be an ap- propriate thing to mention: Our school in the center of the neigh
 borhood is grand.
 The people try to make it the best
 that's in the land.
 We believe in education and every
 thing that's bright.
 Hurrah for ''Old Mt. Carmel'- she
