GALLOWAY COLLEGE CHIMES
I)r Dye Appeals For its Replace
ment by Popular Contributions
Soon after my election to the
presidency of Galloway College, j
Mrs. Harriet C. liison of Little j
Rock gave me one thousand dol
lars toward the purchase of a Clock
and Chimes for the college. An !
important and timely contribution.
A valuable and enjoyable acquisi
tion. They aided materially the
systematic and methodical man
agement of the institution, ringing
out the passing periods, within the
hearing of all the faculty and all
the student body of all depart
ments of the college, and regaled
them with the delightful music of
the Chimes that sang in sweetest
strains every fifteen minutes, theii
inspiring salutation of hopefulness
and harmony, patience and pains
taking, happy continuance in well
doing. They soothed and sweet
ened the spirit of many a home
sick girl. They never sang a sad j
song.
When the college was on tire and
almost consumed, the flames leap
ing from story to story and vault
ing high into the air, columns
crumbling, pipe organ, pianos and
furniture falling, many pupils
praying, others crying and still
others wailing, above the din and
roar of it all, the Chimes rang, and
sang in dulcet strains, in seeming
ly sweeter voice and clearer and
more jubilant notes than ever be
fore. And while the air was vi
brating with their farewell music,
the tower toppled and fell and the
clock and chimes collapsed forev
er. Like the swan, they sang
their sweetest song when dying.
Grandma, as she was familiarly
called, moved into the school to
educate two of her granddaughters
and incidentally to enjoy her gift
to the school. The girls and young
ladies in attendance during those
years, and the citizens of Searcy
and suburbs recall with pleasure
the great convenience of the clock
and the charm of the chimes. Rut
none did or could enjoy them as
much as dear old grandma. She
daily clipped the coupons of com- i
pound interest on her investment,
in the s%eet satisfaction that she
was contributing so much to the
pleasure and improvement of so*
many. She thanked God that she
had made the investment, and that i
it brought to her and to others i
such rich returns, such dividends j
of joy.
The clock and chimes were on '
duty day and night, early and late,
until the college was destroyed b.\
tire. Unfortunately the insurance
on them had expired, and although
the college has been re built, the
clock and chimes have not been re
placed, as useful and charming as
they were.
Meanwhile grandma has passed
to her heavenly home. Though
dead she ought to be yet speaking
in that clock aud singing in those
chimes. She confidently and rea
sonably expected that her gift
would be protected and preserved,
and its uses and purposes conserv
ed to the thousands of young la
dies who shall throng those classic
halls in the generations to come.
We owe it to her, the college and
the church, to install another and
better plant, and to provide a fund,
the interest of which should and
could only be used to insure it
against destruction by fire and
storm.
There were more than a thou
sand girls enrolled in Galloway
College during my connection with
it. 1 appeal to them to contribute
to this fund as they may be able.
But better still, agitate it and pre
sent this call to others. To all who
have attended since, and will re
j
turn, I beg to interest you and
yours. 1 crave for all of the many
friends of Galloway College par
ticipation in this good work, and ‘
as much joy to each of you as filled :
the cup of Grandma Rison.
I do not wish any money sent
to me, but as soon as the money
needed has been subscribed, the
name of a bank will be announced
that will received and receipt for,
all money sent. Who will be first
to write me a postal or a letter
giving me their own, and the!
names and postoffice of others with
whom you wish me to correspond?
As this is a matter of state-wide
interest, the friends of Galloway
being everywhere, 1 will thank the
Press of the State to publish this
ind ministers to read it to their
congregations. Jno. H. Dye.
Searcy, Arkansas.
DR. KELLET ARRESTED
Newport, July ID.—Dr. A. Kel
let, a prominent local physician,
was arrested Sunday evening by
Deputy Sheriff McCuistion on a
warrant issued by Coroner Henry
Grant, charging manslaughter as
the result of the inquest verdict
over the remains of Mrs. Addie
Eager, whom the jury investigat
ing the case declared came to her
death from criminal negligence
upon the part of Dr. Kellett, who
attended her.
PURPOSES OF A BANK *
The purpose of a bank is to be useful
and helpful to a community; to facilitate
business by the exchange and extension of
credits, thereby making it possible to carry
on a vast amount of business with a com
paratively small amount of actual cash.
It is wrong to hoard money and bury
it in some old cellar and thereby take it
entirely out of circulation.
Bring it to this bank, where it w'ill be
much safer and will help to earn you more
money, and yet be at your command.
