 One of the finest community activi- ties will be the dinner being arranged by the Western Assembly entertain ment committee on March 2. It will be served in the Star Hall and will be in charge of the ladies of the several churches of the city with Mrs. T. O. Owen of the First M. E. church, South, as chairman in charge of the arrangements. The dinner will be served promptly at 12 o'clock on Thursday, March 2, and will be com plimentary to the Commissioners and the representatives coming from the five other cities that are in the race for the location of the Assembly. Dr. A. c. Millar in approving the plan for this dinner suggests that at this din- ner talks will be made that will get the general plan of procedure before all of the representatives and will all so give such general information as it is desired to give to all representa- tives. Doctor Millar further suggests that the dinner close promptly at 1:30 p. m. so that the Commissioners may go into session at o'clock.
 Aaron Goss, son of Mir. and Mrs. j.. k. Goss of the Commercial Hotel, is one of the young men of the city who has taken stock in the Western As- sembly Corporation. He has signified his intention of making an investment to the amount of S200. There are doubtless other young men and young women who will follow the lead of Lefty" Goss.
 D. A. Younger and his crew of trail builders have completed the arrange ments for the camp, located north of the city standpipe, and on Monday be- gan work on the actual construction of the trail Mir. and Mrs. s. c. Payne and son and daughter, of Eagleton were Sunday guests at the camp.
 J. Dale Stentz, secretary-treasur- CT of the Southern Assembly of the M. E. church, South, located at Lake Junaluska, N. C., in response to a request from the general committee in charge of promoting and managing the Assembly project in Mena, has sent a complete financial statement of the resources and liabilities and the receipts and expenditures of the Southern Assembly for the close of the year 1921. The report is as com plete as was ever made by any state or national bank to the banking de- partment of the state or nation, and any Mena citizen interested in that phase of the Assembly project may call at the Commercial Club office and go over the statement. Mir. Stentz not only went to the trouble of mak- ing and sending copy of this annual statement, but in the letter of trans initial he shows the human and Christian side of his character when ne says, The money put into such an Assembly would much more than come back in the development of the educational, inspirational and finan- clal affairs of your town. An As- sembly of the kind you contemplate. provided it is accessible hy good au- tomobile roads as well as railroads. will be of incaleulable value. and I sincerely hope your efforts will meet with success Then, he adds, q as- sure you that my heart is with you and If can be of any service to you at all do not hesitate to call on me Of course, if were not so far away so that could meet with your com. mittee, l probably could answer ques. tions that occur to you, giving you a great deal of interesting infcrma ton"
