There are also enrolled the names of more than 700 persons, outside the congregation who contributed funds to the erection of the new church. These 700 persons represent practically every state in the union. The names of President Harding, Congressman Wingo, State Representative F. L. Johnson, and all the county and city officers, also went in the box. Other articles include pastoral letters, his tory of work building the church, some mementoes, including one of the first photographs taken of the new church walls.

And the colonel is still full of just this kind of humor out of court as we'll as in court. Recently was in his office and boy came in selling Saturday Evening Posts.

never able to find it. He once owned the homestead property in Mena on which the log cabin in Janssen park now stands and sold it for $5,000. Then when Mena began to boom he moved there and sold goods in the south part of town near where the Dunman Brothers are now located. He is now reported to be living at Clinton, Ok. J. J. Mershon of Mena knows Owen very intimately as he clerked for him while at Dallas.
 Tom Mills run the first steam saw mill that came to Polk county. It was located near where the big oil tank burned down in Mena some four or five years ago, and the Mills fam fly lived in the log cabin in the park. But soon after this Uncle Harvey Barton, Thomas Wright and George Miller ran one in Dallas.
 Billy Shelton built this log cabin and when Mena was first building up he would give out big. guffaws of laughter and brag how visitors and sightseers would come and look at his house and how indifferent they were to the nicer brick buildings that were being erected. Also Major Cross lived in this log house for a good while. He was one of the pres idents of the Farmers Alliance and always kept in close touch with Bob Owen. It was from Cross that Bob Owen got hold of this property, which cost him $200.
 1t was at Dallas that Col. Pole Mc- Phetrige of Mena got his start as a lawyer. He first taught school, boarded at I. N. Lane's and when school was out he built room to the Lane home for himself and began studying law. He had good college education to start with and picked up law rapidly. He has been mixed up in all kinds of scrapes- both serious and comical. He once got into it with some fellow in court and knocked him down with . law book. The judge fined aim $10, and the colonel, on finding that he just had &z0 bill, knocked his man down the second time with the book and told the judge to fine him another e10 SO as to make it even change. Once he had the late Alfred P. Alexander helping him out in a case and they dismissed two of their witnesses on their own accord. thinking that the case had been dis posed of. and the judge fined each <25 for the odenze. Both nen were crippled. Alexander being very much SO. and some friend of his prevailed upon the judge to remit the fine. The judge did 90 and ordere1 the clerk .n hare it removed from the books.

as he was and that this was the time to change their lives.
 Uncle Tom Davis of Hatfield was one of the iurymen and he tells a good one on his son, Eustace, who is now bookkeeper for the Watkins Lumber and Mercantile Company. Eustace was then only very small boy. but he wanted to see the hang ing. So some of the folks took him, and the next day after, when Uncle Tom was sitting in the home fixing shoes or something like that, he heard some fearful and terrific sounds of eat squalling out in the wood shed. He hurried to the scene and there he found Eustace with a rope tied around big tom cats neck and trying to hang 1t in the same manner Moffett had been hung.
 Ben Torrent was the first postmas- ter at Dallas and Rifle Perry the first mail carrier, the latter having made his first trip to Ultamathule in 1857 while he was only 14 years old. Mir. Perry is now 77 years old and lives at Road Camp, and when asked by the writer if he was ever robbed on any of his trips he laughed and replied: "No, for very little money ever went thru the mail them days Uncle Rifle was a southern soldier during the Civil war. Uncle Nat Allen and |. N. Lane say that he was captured by the enemy a dozen or more times and always got away.
 It was largely thru the efforts of the late Hudgins' brothers, Joe and Holder, that caused Dallas to be known on the map. They were from Georgia and entered the mercantile business just after the Civil war. Thru their friendly ways and accom- podating methods of doing business they soon built up a trade that was second to none in all western Arkan- sas. In addition to this they acquired a lot of land and ran sawmills, cotton gins ard grist mills. For 30 years or more they took great interest Tn public affairs in the county and pec- pie used to accuse Joe Hudgins of be- ing the leader of powerful political ring. And neither did he deny it. But instead he would refer his accusers to hitch ring :a big oak tree in front of his house and call it "the Hudgins' ring" He was a good judge of human nature and once run an ad in the Dallas Courier that read like this:

 The bachelor. Bob Owen. probably made some of the quickest money that was ever made in Dallas. About the year of 1889 he put in a S3.000 stock of goods and soon afterwards the Farmers Alliance people over the country got him .o run his store in the interest of this organization Some of the Alliance members loaned him some money and he agreed to sell on Iorf eolnr1ssinn after al overhead expeueez uexa dedurted The store fourik1ed for several yearx. then Bob got tr dealing in wheat futures. it sk c.=s1s11. zrz -sssn t4 TSt r.rt sure eneufh.

Inside the hollow in the stone was placed metal box which contained a number of articles which will be of interest when opened in the days to come. The air tight box was sealed in with asphalt and then the corner stone was covered with the first iay- CT of messy boulders that are being used in the walls of the new church.
 After the stone had been finally placed Father Gallagher spoke and among other things expressed his deep appreciation of the encourage ment he had received in the building of the new church from those who are not followers of the faith. He also expressed thanks for the many donations that have come from non- Catholics and made plain the fact that there was to be no solicitation of funds from those not members of the church. Father Gallagher also commended the members of his con- gregation for their faithful work in the new edifce and praised them for their sacrifices.
 The services ended with the choir singing "Te Deum."
