ORGANIZE NEW
BAPTIST CHURCH
New Church Will Call Rev. H.
F. Vermillion as Pastor For
The Coming Year.
—
A meeting was held at the
Methodist church Thursday
night for the purpose of organ
izing a Baptist church in har
mony with the progressive
or Convention branch of the
Baptist church in Arkansas.
Owing to a number of un
fortunate circumstances, the
attendance was not as large as
had been hoped for. But what
the congregation lacked in
numbers it made up in zeal. A
sufficient number were present
to form an organization and
the church was duly and prop
erly organized according to
Baptist usages and doctrines.
Miss Martha McPherson was
elected church clerk. Rev. G.
L. Fink, Miss Martha McPher
son and Miss Mellie Fink were
chosen as messengers to the In
dependence Baptist Associa
tion which was held at Bates
ville Friday and Saturday, and
the new church presented let
ters, and affiliated with that
body. ,
The election of deacons and
the calling of a pastor for the
ensuing year were deferred un
til next Sunday. Rev. G. L.
Fink will supply the new
church as pastor until a pastor
is called. Arrangements have
been made to secure the use of
the Methodist church for ser
vices next Sunday and Sunday
night when Rev. G. L.Fink will
conduct services. The matter of
calling a pastor will be taken
up at that time, and it is said
that Rev. II. F. Vermillion of
Mountain Home will probably
be the unanimous choice of the
new church for pastor for the
coming year. It is reported that
Rev. Vermillion has indicated
that he will accept the pastor
ate if it is tendered him. If he
is called and accepts the pas
torate, he will preach here
once a month.

YOUNG LADY DROWNS
IN RIVER THURSDAY
(Contiued from page 1)
from them, throwing them into
the deep water with no protec
tion. Neither of the girls could
swim and both grabbed young
Arnold who started to swim
ashore with them. Miss Dren
nen held onto his clothing but
Miss Mims lost her hold and
sank. Mrs. Giro who was in
shallow water near the bank,
realizing the danger, hastily
secured a long stick and al
though she cannot swim, wad
ed out as fill' as she could go in
water up to her neck, in an ef
fort to reach the stick to he
drowning girl but could not
reach her. In the meantime,
young Arnold had reached the
bank with Miss Drennen, and
although he was almost entire
ly exhausted he returned as
quickly as he could do so, and
swam out to rescue Miss Mims,
lie was too late, however, as
the unfortunate girl drowned
before he could reach her.
He rescued her body and
swam ashore but reached the
bank at a steep place and was
so completely exhausted that
he was unable to climb* out.
Catching hold or a limb of <»
tree that stuck out over the wa
ter. he managed to hold him
self until help arrived, little T.
J. Mims having in the mean
time ran up the river some dis
tance to where Asa Hines and
Josh Edmonds were at work
and called for help.
Physicians were summoned
from Oil Trough and from
town, and efforts made to re
suscitate the drowned girl, but
all efforts at resuscitation were
fruitless.
Sheriff Lawrence Ruddell
and others from Batesville.who
had been to Searcy to a good
roads meeting, came by in
their cars and hearing cries of
distress ran down to render as
sistance. The body of the un
fortunate girl was placed in
Sheriff Ruddell’s car and
brought to her home.
Young Arnold,who is a mere
lad only 15 years of age, has
been the recipient of much
praise for his heroic work of
saving the life of Miss Drennen
and his heroic efforts to save
Miss Mims.
Miss Mims was 15 years of
age and is survived by her fa
ther, W. C. Mims, who resides
at Yarboro, Tex., one brother,
Master T. J. Mims, and her
grandmother, Mrs. Kate Mag
ness, with whom she made her
home. She was a member of
the Methodist church, a bright
Christian character and was
one of the most popular mem
bers of Newark’s younger so
ciety.
Funeral services were held
at the Methodist church Sat
urday afternoon at .‘5 o’clock,
Rev. J. B. Stevenson, pastor of
the First Methodist church of
Batesville, conducting the ser
vices. The remains were laid
to rest beside the grave of her
mother in Blue Springs ceme
tery, where the last sad rites
were witnessed by one of the
largest crowds ever assembled
upon a similar occasion in
Newark.
