Phone M. IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH. During the progress of the Euro pean war, and during the bloody struggles the equal of which the world has never before witnessed, there is only one paramount goal to which each individual of warfare as pires, and which aspiration is shared by every fellow soldier on both sides of the firing line. This determined purpose upon which the many are bending their every effort is the snuff ing out of as many lives as their dex torious and energetic efforts can Haim, In this one desire hundreds of thousands of men and boys are col lected together, the representatives of their respective factions, in perfect harmony with intent to kill and de stroy. With this motive in view, dis- PRINCESS -iTHEATER:- TONIGHT The Isle of Abandon ed Hope In two parts, featuring W. M. Clif ford and Marie Wal comp. Produced in Honolulu.

L CROUCH g YOUR CRFDIT IS GOOP "SR" Lucille Love “J&Kr ™.™ aster has been wrought and lives, amounting into the teeming thous ands, have been sent to the land from whence no traveler retraces his jour ney. Homos are made destitute, chil dren art parentless, foodless —they are in an absolute stato pf desolation. To accomplish this the mighty European war continues. They are not satisfied with their successes, but will continue in the united effort to destroy and kill. This is a lesson which every one can take home with profit, though it can be applied with great benefit if facilitated in spirit different from that required in warfare. Where there is unity there is strength, and the truth of Europe today can be true of a citi zenship anywhere in the building up of institutions for good, in the effort of town building. In every community of the United States, if there existed the kindred and united spirits—if all could mobil ize the forces and work together for the good of the community, things could be built up just the same as things could be torn down. Pitiful it is' that this European spirit is not reversed for the better. A SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION. (Concluded from Page LI Charles McClue of Little Rock. The Persian and Jewish choruses of men and womens’ voices, all among the best singers of Batesville, and the chorus of Jewish boys and Jewish maidens were most pleasing. The scenic effect in the last act in the triumphal march of Mordecai mounted on a white charger with at tendants, was most inspiring and a fitting close to this brilliant produc tion. Words fail to express the apprecia tion of the organ committee of the First Methodist church to Rev. M. W. Lockhart for his able and patient di rection of the entire production; also to Mrs. E. L. Givens, the untiring ac companist, Mrs. Sam Deener, the vio linist, and Messrs. Levy, Smith and Jordan of the orchestra, and to every one who helped to make the cantata a success. The full management of the cantata was in charge of John W. Gleen, and to say that he performed his duty well is attested by the great and col lective success which the entire pro ject scored, and Mr. Glenn is receiv ing a round of well deserved praise for the manner in which he discharg ed his faithful efforts. Advertised Letter Liat. The following letters remained un called for at the Batesville postoffice October 28, 1814:« Mr. B. D. Callaway, Mick Hawkins, Mrs. Eric Marries, Mr. T. J. Winning ham. Sam Deener, P. M. Mr. and Mrs. NoUi Rutherford Entertain. Mr. and Mrs. Neill Rutherford en tertained at dinner on Wednesday ev ening in honor of Miss Mary Case and Dr. Stark Craig, with their bridal party. “Oakhurst,” the large country home of the hostess, decorated with au tumn leaves, haw berries and red zen nias, with crackling logs blazing in the fireplaces, gave a warm and gen ial welcome to the guests, after their six mile drive in the crisp autumn air. After spending a short time around the fire “toasting ears and toes," the guests were invited to the dining room. The long table was beautifully laid with its snowy napery, shining silver and cut glass, with brides and rod roses for a center piece. The place cards were wedding bells tied with tulle love knots. Mrs. Ruther ford, assisted by Miss Genevieve Rutherford, served the delicious four course dinner, after which over the coffee and mints were read bright little prophesies foretelling the “ups and downs” likely to befall the hon orees, and the probable fate of their bridal party. Those who enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford were Misses Mary Case, Emma Wycough. Floy Craig, Esther Neill, Nina and Genevieve Rutherford, Messrs. Craig. Alexander, Wilkerson and Kennerly. RECENT SLAUGHTER GREAT. (Concluded from Page 1.) to get any idea as to which side is gaining. Taking Russian reports, the Germans and Austrians are making no headway, while the reports from Berlin sta^e that the forces of the Emperor in the east are showing superior skill and strength over the Russian forces, and are taking many prisoners and winning many battles. It would be conservative to state that the fighting in the east has re sulted somewhat as that in the west —both sides have gained temporary or slight victories at various points, many men are being slain, with the advantage in favor of neither side. War officers of England are optim istic as to the final outcome, and de clare German military rale must be crashed and the mighty Cramp gun factory razed to the ground. From talk by English war officers, England has under training about two million men, and still recruiting, and it seem? that country is preparing for a long war. There has been little activity of fighting craft on the waters. Additional Prise List. Following are a few prizes award ed at the county agricultural exhibit Saturday which were not included in the list published last Monday: For the best yield on creek land.

On last Wednesday night Mr. Henry Taylor and Miss Rosie Davis were married at the parsonage. Joe Sanders and wife and Manuel Steph ens were the only company they had with them. Last Saturday Rev. Baty eras called to go to Locust Grove to hold a fun eral service at the grave of a young Mr. Douglas, who died at Jamestown, but was unable to secure a convey ance in which to make the trip. I. B. Collom from near Jamestown passed through Desha Friday morn ing, en route to Batesville with a load of apples.

There were several that went from Desha to attend the services, among them “Aunt” Delia Hulsey and “Aunt” Liz zie Dickson, “Aunt” Mary McClendon and others. The Silver Lining One day this week a good citizen came into the Bank and engaged one of our officers in conversation. From his hilarious manner and cheerful conversation, one would have sup posed a rich uncle had died and left him a fortune. As a matter of fact, he wes telling about the loss of his home by fire, together with about all he had, including his year’s supply of canned fruits. He said it was about the tough est condition he had ever “bucked” up against, but he didn’t see anything else to do but keep a “bucking.” This is the kind of grit we all need just now. Instead of looking at the dark cloud that overspreads our country and the whole earth, we need to look at the “silver lining." For, despite the disturbance over seas, the Growers, Producers, Manufacturers and Merchants of this great land have good reason to recognize the fact that there IS a silver lining to every cloud. It devolves upon each patriotic citizen to do his part, be it big or little, in maintaining that even tenor, strong confidence, and steady purpose that are the foundation stones of actual, material prosperity. THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS The situation in Europe, caused by the war, means that greater business is going to come to our own shores. We shall have a better market for all our live stock and grain ^nd feed-stuffs, a-d our manufacturers wiM have great demand upon them for goods that have heretofore been imported. But the most encouraging feature of the situation today is the fact that the Federal Reserve Banks provided by Act of Congress are going to open for business,on November the 16th. On that day the country will go from an unsafe, unsound, unscientific financial system to one that is eminently sound and helpful, and that wiH provide the long-needed “elastic” currency. The First National Bank is a member of this great Federal Wenger? System and expects to give its customers the full benefit of such connection. We have always shown a practical interest in worthy industry and are proud of our record of helpful assistance to the Farmers and Mmhanh of tris section, and of our long list of friends among the farmers and business con cerns of this and adjoining Counties. : i A “ d . w ® «J V « PnhWc assurance to all engaged in Agricultural, Commer cial and Industrial enterprises that we shall consistently follow our well estab lished practice of serving this community in every way possible within the scope of our activities. Our officers invite consultation on all financial matters The First National Bank THE ONLY NATIONAL BANK IN BATESVILLE At the Princess. “The Woman of Mystery” at the Princess last night was witnessed by one of the biggest crowds of movie lovers ever gathered at that popular playhouse. And to say that the show was a success is useless. Every one was delighted with the big feature picture, the acting in which held each spectator spellbound from reel to reel. On next Wednesday night the Princess management will produce another great feature in four reels, “The Fighting Death.” It will be similar to “The Woman of Mystery,” and of course will be great. At the Ge*. ■ A vast crowd attended the Genl last night and were delighted witkl the excellent show staged.
