Organize Two Churches

The year 1916 witnessed the eStab-
lishment of the Baptist and Congre-
gational churches in the village. The
records of the former show that on
the 21st day of June, 1845, "A meeting
was held at the school house for the
purpose of forming a branch of the
Lancaster church, and the following
persons were enrolled: William Pad
dock, Loamir Paddock, Alloys Pad
dock, Moses Cooley, Betsy Cooley,
Samuel Newick, Belinda Woodruff and
sister Bacon, William Paddock was
elected deacon and Samuel Newick
clerk" This church was organized I'M
der the supervision of Elder J. Miles
of Lancaster. The Congregational
church was organized by Rev. Chaffee
In this year Washington Garner and
others of the same name, Wood K
Beach, William Mcdaniel, John 3.
Turley, James F. Woodruff, Robert
Briggs, Silas Burt, William Ainsbury
William Holford, A. o. Coates, John
Welsh. A. P. Stephens, Daniel Deer
ing, Chauncey Underwood, Charles
Hood and many others came to swell
the population of Beetown. In 1914
Cyrus and Timothy Barr erected
store building and put in a heavier
stock of goods than had been carried
by any one heretofore. The advent OF
merchants after this was very rapid.
Succeeding the Barr Bros. came Glea-
son and Kirkpatrick, Dennis Warren.

Gin Fire Thursday

A serious fire at the Schnabaum gin
here was averted last Thursday by
the quick action of the local volunteer
fire department.
The fire started in the seed house.
just in front of the gin plant and had
gained much headway in the dry lint
before being discovered. The win
dows and doors of the seed house were
hurriedly closed in an attempt to tenn
porarily check the fire. This confined
the flames until the fire truck arrived
and just as streams from two plugs
were turned on, the flames burst from
the house and leaped toward the gin
plant, famed by stiff breeze. Some
baled cotton on the platform took fire
from parks but was rolled to the
ground and extinguished.
The blaze was under control in three
minutes after the water was turned
on it and in ten minutes was complete
ly out. 1t is not known how the fire
originated
The damage was covered by insur-
ance.

STATE SCHOOL FUND
APPORTIONMENT MADE

The state Board of Education Tues
day appOrtiOned the common school
fund of $2,667, $3.50 to the IS coun-
ties of the state on the basis of total
school population of 635, 5,139, making a
distribution of $4.2O for each child Of
school age.
The cigar and cigarette tax yielded
total of $3S5,245 of the fund appor-
toned. The severance tax yielded
$325,262, the millage tax $l,695,S95
and interest on the permanent school
fund $65.725.
AS a result of alleged padding Of
the school census in 1924, Texarkana
will not share i'm the 1925 apportion-
ment and will be required by the board
to pay interest on the excess funds
received last year. The 1924 school
census in Texarkana gave that city
5000 school children. Under the new
census plan instituted this year, the
Texarkana school population was cut
to 2,516. The apportionment to that
city last year on the basis of $500 per
capita was more than $4,000, or ap-
prOxmately twice the amount to which
the city was entitled.
G. G. Floyd. assistant state superin-
tendent, was elected rural school SUI
pervisor by the board to succeed W. +.
Halbrook, who resigned recently to
become superintendent of schools in
Boone county. Superintendent Hill an
nOunced the appointment of A. S. Ross,
former superintendent of schools In
Clark county, to succeed Mr.. Floyd as
assistant state superintendent. The
board confirmed the appointment of
NJ. r. Owens of Pine Bluff as state
high school inspector.
OF the state apportionment, Ran
dolph county will receive $2S,954.SO
The July census showed the school
population of this county to be 6,S94.

games to play yet before the sea-

The Girls Booster Club can

words "Boost for Nogales HT'
were inscribed on the pencils.
Then Senior Class held another
important meeting last week.
Glass commencement cards. rings
and pins were discussed, with the
probability that the class cards
would be ordered from the 7. v.
Allen Company.
Much regret was expressed
among the students and teachers
when it was learned that Albert
Donnadieu, Apache quarterback,
Henry O'Toole and Leo Coltman,
would not play football any more
this season. These three men are
considered the most valuable the
Apaches have, and their absence
from the lineup will surely be felt
