A LETTER FROJT BEECHER LEWIS
To the Members of the F. E. & C.
U. of A. of Woodruff county:
I wish to state to you that the
recent cyclone which struck my
town, (Brinkley) destroyed my
home and everything else belong
ing to me and 1 herewith make ap
peal to you for any help or contri
bution that you may desire to
make for my family and self.
All donations, no matter how
small, will be thankfully received
and greatly appreciated by me and
my stricken family. My wife was
badly hurt in the disastrous storm
but her condition is not serious.
I wish to further state that I
would not make this appeal had I
not devoted three years of my life
to the upbuilding of this noble and
deserving cause.
Hoping every brother will re
spond with a liberal contribution,
and assuring you that the same is
greatly needed, I am,
Yours in the interest of the F. E.
& C. U. of A.,
H. Beecher Lewis,
Brinkley, Ark.

NEW ELECTRIC THEATRE
One of the latest enterprises of
our town is the Princess Theatre
which is under the exclusive man
agement of its owner and promoter
Mr. W. G. Dilliard of this city.
The first show was put on Tues
day night, but because of not hav
ing the electricity under perfect
control, the moving pictures were
not just what they should have
been. An electrician who put
the apparatus together proper was
secured from Augusta Wednesday,
and the show of Wednesday night
was a complete success, the light
being luminous and the pictures
distinct.
New films will be used for every
performance which will be every
night and Saturday evenings. The
performances consume between one
and two hours time and are well
worth the price of admission which
is ten cents.
FROM BEARDS SCHOOL.
The second month has past. The
progress was reasonably good. Fol
1 lowing are the names that now ap
pear on our honor roll.
Vircie Miller, Xanthie Thomas,

The list of names would have
been larger had the time for farm

of this several of the pupils have
quit school.

BUSINESS.
The man of business is strictly
business. He understands busi
ness ; he talks business; he does
business; he does not meddle in
other people’s business. If he needs
a shave, he goes to the City Shav
ing Parlor, which is our business.
