others connected with the
University. The worth of the

The regular meeting of this

tic and beneficial ever held.
The club has gained new life
and vigor and from this time

rapidity as yet unthought of,

everything to cause this pre
diction. With an energetic
new president in the person of
Mi. Dane Angus, who will
leave nothing updone to for
ward the interests of the
town, school and community;
with a Women’s Council to
look after interest of especial
importance to mothers; with
a large “Be Square” club of
"iris; with a movement on
foot for a scout organization
for boys, all accomplished in
one day the future of this
club is assured.
Mr. Raney has been vety
gracious and accommodating
about allowing us the use of
his building for our meetings.
With our new growth we feel
that we need a club room and,
have secured and furnished
the old lodge room, over Dix-j
ob’s store where we wilt;
hold all our meetings.

Died: Sunday, Feb. 8,
1920, at Elpaso, Texas, Robert
W. Dempsey, of Little Rock,
age 37 years. Deceased was|
born Feb. 24, 1883, at Pa-j

July, 30, 1914, at Searcy,

who with three children are

intend to impose on his good
nature any longer than neces- j
sary and are now preparing a
bazaar for Easter, the pro-;
ceeds of which we earnestly j
pray and have reason to be
lieve will be sufficient to pur
chase a light plant and mov
ing picture machine for the
use in the school.
Our community sing on
Sunday afternoon are slowly
and surely growing and we
are now discussing the pos
sible good we can get by join
ing the National Community
Sing. Think over our slogan
for Sunday afternoon: “Give
a thought to music.”
Our work for this month is
to carry #n the work of rais
ing funds for the maintain
ance of our school and build
ing. The club is expecting to
receive a request from the
school authorities to put on a
campaign for a new school
building. The club at its last
meeting, anticipating this
move on the part of the school
officials, adopted a resolution
to the effect that it will lay
aside all other matters to
come to the aid of our public
schools. For this reason we
are enlisting new members
and are sure that we will, be
fore the work is gone, have
every thoughtful man and
woman in our midst on our
list. The most urgent need
of the community is help for
our schools.
STREET LIGHTS
Mayor Raney, at his own
expense, has had an electric
street light placed on a 20
foot pole in the center of the
street, where Second Street
and Edmunds Ave. cross, for
the benefit of the show
going public. In placing the
light on the street, he hopes
to see others with individual
plants do likewise. If every
own$r of a plant would do as
your mayor and editor, we
could light almost every street
in the town. Among those
who have expressed themsel
ves as being willing to furnish
one light each, are: Riggs
Brothers, Arnof & Greer, G.
W. Barber, Carson’s, J. F.
Morgan, G. G. McCrory and
the Planters Mercantile Co.
McCrory needs and should
have the streets lighted and
we think this the best method
ever provided so far.
OUR SCHOOL THE BEST
Let’s resolve before entering
our school campaign that we
will all pull together and do
our best and all we can to
further our town and com
munity.
“God has no end of material.
For prophets, ~ priests and
kings;
But what he needs is volun
teers
To do the little things.”
There is no reason why not
have the best school in the
county, and second to none
in the state. We can if we
will
“Do just the work w'e find to
do,
And whatever it is we find—
Do our best, however men
sneer,
All will be right in the end,
my dear.”
