Automobile Accident Proves Fatal to Injured Woman
Mrs. Williams Is Fatally Injured by Ford Car Driven by 13-Year-Old Frank Fuller

Mrs. M.E. Williams who with her two children lives in a small tenant house just south of the Blalock boarding house on main street was knocked down and run over by a car Tuesday about four p.m. and sustained fatal injuries.

Mrs. Williams at the time of the accident, was returning from the residence across the street from her home with a bucket of water. Frank Fuller, the 13 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Fuller of Waldron was driving south, and another car was coming north and would have to pass each other near where the woman was crossing the street. It is thought she became confused and trying to avoid one or both cars, she fell in the street, and when she arose, the car driven by Frank Fuller struck her. She was taken home at once and physicians summonsed and first aid rendered. Examination showed that all the ribs on her right side had been crushed in by the wheels of the car passing over her. She was in a semi-comatose condition until early Wednesday night.

Mrs. Williams is a widow and made her living by washing. She has two children.

Legion Express Gratitude

The John Tolleson Post of the American Legion takes this opportunity to thank the good citizenship of Waldron and Scott County for the hearty cooperation given us on "Our Day."

Omer O. Payne, Post Commander

Died

Mrs. H.A. Brannon, daughter of J.W. Ashford of Benton, Ark., died November sixth, at her home in Port Arthur, Texas, at the age of twenty years. Deceased leaves one child, a daughter, two years old, a husband, father and a number of relatives in and near Waldron where she was reared.

The remains were brought to Waldron, and the interment was made at the Pierson Cemetery Monday. We extend sympathy to the bereaved.

Senator Johnston Visits Waldron

Senator Ben Johnston came over from Little Rock Saturday and remained until Tuesday with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Free Malone at the Continental Hotel. Mr. Johnston's many friends were happy to meet with him once again, and to note that he seemed in the best of spirits and as optimistic as ever.

The Senator expressed himself to the effect that his idea was that the road bill would be the main issue in the coming campaign, both state and county. "While the Harrelson bill has some good points," said he, "yet I do not believe that Scott county will realize any practical benefit from it. No doubt but that the eastern Arkansas counties will be the direct beneficiaries of the bill. I refer to the counties that have bonded roads. Already a costly organization has been effected. Engineers costing thousands of dollars each, in yearly salaries, have been engaged, and when the people begin to have to pay these salaries out of their tax money, then more opposition will develop to the Harrelson bill."

We are glad to note that the Senator cast his vote for another bill which would have given each county just what its auto and gas tax amounted to.

Rev. C.C. Dipboye is New Pastor at Nazarene Church

Just Forty of Them Read It

Max Volkenig, christened Max Volcano by ex-judge Tom Payne, works in Oklahoma City and his family resides at Parks. Max came in last week on a visit back home. He has the Advance Reporter sent to Parks to his family and also to his address in Oklahoma City. Max says there are 40 other laborers staying in a boarding house where he stays and they are all from different counties in Arkansas. Sometimes these fellows get Max's paper before he does and he has to wait until they all read it before he can get a look in. All Arkansawyers like to hear from home, even if it is from some other county than the one they reside in.

Union Hotel Burned Friday Morning at Three O'clock

The fire alarm sounded again in Waldron at about 3 a.m. last Friday morning and volunteer fighters comprising nearly all of the male citizens of the town hurried to the scene of the fire which was the Union Hotel on lower main street. The fire had gotten beyond control, however, and nothing could be done either in subduing the flames or saving the contents of the building which was soon reduced to ashes.

The Union was owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. William Thompson. On the night of the fire, only three guests besides the family were there. It has been a custom of Mr. Thompson's to leave the front entrance door open and any late guest could go to his room at any time of night without awaking the household. At somewhere about midnight Mr. Thompson heard a door open and shut, as if someone was arriving for the night. Some two hours later, Mr. Cotton, a traveling salesman, occupying a second story room across the hall from where the fire was supposed to have started, heard someone in this room groaning and taking on as if they were in terrible agony. "People, I am smothering to death," were the words Mr. Cotton heard the party say. Cotton supposed it was someone drunk, and he, Cotton, became alarmed for his own safety, and drew his pocket knife and opened it and kept himself in readiness, should he be attacked. Soon after this Cotton heard someone kick out a window pane in the room opposite his, and some time soon thereafter, he heard another glass shatter.

When the fire was first discovered, the upper room above the hotel office was shrouded in flames and Cotton barely escaped with a loss of some of his clothing. None of the hotel furniture with the exception of a dresser, was saved.

It was thought that perhaps the party who arrived at midnight accidently set fire to the room by throwing down a lighted cigarette, and was later awakened by the heat and smoke, and perhaps failed to escape. This suspicion was increased when numerous bones were found next morning in the ashes and embers. These bones were thought to be human bones, but Dr. Bevill pronounced them otherwise. No one is known to be missing and there are no grounds for thinking any one perished in the fire.

The building was insured for $1200, barely enough to secure a mortgage held thereon by J.W. Evatt. No insurance on the furniture. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are occupying rooms at the Dr. Blakney residence until a new house can be built.

The Tents and Cots

You who have tents and cots are requested to bring them back to the basement of the Methodist church at once. We have accomodated you, now you will please bring them back.

Smith-Holland

On Sunday morning November 4th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Holland of Birds View, Mr. Irwin Smith and Miss Ora Holland were united in marriage by Reverend C.L. Franks. We wish the young couple a long and happy life together. They are at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lon Smith.

Bird's Hay Barn Fired by Incendiary Sunday Night

At 8:30 Sunday night Bird's hay barn, which stands across the street south from the courthouse, and containing about 2000 bales of hay, was fired by an incendiary, but as the fire was soon discovered, prompt work on the part of the first arrival of volunteer fighters subdued the flames before the fire got beyond control.

George "Buster" Taylor, the boy who a few months ago burglarized Pinnell's jewelry store, was found near the barn and was acting suspiciously. It was later learned that he had secured some matches from Isom Crutchfield's restaurant, a few minutes before the fire was discovered. Immediately after the alarm was given, he was seen leaving the barn, by Theo Money who brought him back. Young Taylor had been attending services at the Christian church, but came down town and visited the scene of the hotel fire, so he says, and then returned to the church, and came down again just before or just at the time of the fire. He was lodged in jail where he was kept the rest of the night. He was later released and warned to stay out of town at night.

The Missionary Society

On Wednesday afternoon of last week, a goodly number of ladies met at the pleasant home of Mrs. J.M. Hamilton for the November meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of the Methodist Church. The meeting opened by singing "Lord I want to be a Christian." The subject of the meeting was "Opportunity through Prayer is Limitless." A number of references on prayer were made and ably commented on by the leader, Mrs. Dora May. As the society was observing a week of prayer each one present led in behalf of the Bethlehem School of Nashville, N.C. and the Laura Haygood School of China. A number of clippings were read from the Mission Bulletin. Mrs. E. Fuller read a paper on "Jeses" message to the "Least." An interesting and instructive dialogue on Bethlehem School was given by Mrs. Minerva Smith, Mrs. C.L. Franks and Mrs. L.L. Sullivan.

The business meeting was in charge of the president, Mrs. T.W. Stone at which time reports were given by officers. The collection for the week of prayer was $4.65. Proceeds from the Missionary play were $38.35, with a total in the Bank of $55.31. Repairs on the windows and roof of the church amounted to $26.00. A report of forty nine visits to the sick and strangers and $21.30 in assistance was given. It was decided to have a Christmas Bazaar at the Forrestor Davidson store on December 14th and 15th. A nominating committee was appointed to report at the December meeting. The members are very glad to welcome Mrs. Omer Payne as a new member to the society. The meeting was closed with the Lord's Prayer, after which Mrs. Hamilton served delicious refreshments.

Mrs. John R. Cox.

Little Pearl Turner Not at Pitcher

Sheriff Allen and Glen Espy made a trip to Pitcher, Okla., last Saturday night in response to a telegram from the Chief of Police at Pitcher, notifying Mr. Allen that a child answering the description of Pearl Turner was in charge of a lady who keeps a boarding house at Pitcher.

On arrival there, photographs of the child were made and when seen by Mrs. Turner she could not identify the picture as that of her lost child, though it resembled her.

The lost child has not yet been located and the matter is still a mystery.

Armistice Day Observed

Armistice Day, November 11th, was observed at Haletown in honor of the two soldier boys, Carl and Victor Hale.

The forenoon was spent in high jumping, rope pulling and foot racing. Odis Johnson won first prize on high jump and Lloyd Hale second prize. Oscar Hale won first prize on the hundred yard dash foot race. They also had a wrestling match. J.M. Hale was proven to be the best wrestler and was awarded the candy.

Then dinner was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Hale, dinner being furnished by Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Hale, Mrs. Mary Hale and Mr. and Mrs. T.H. Johnson. There was plenty of good things to eat, consisting of vegetables, dressed chicken, pies and cakes of all kinds. There were about 75 guests. A long table was placed in the hall and enough room for about 24 guests to eat at one time. Just before beginning to serve dinner short talks were made by C.P. Westmoreland and T.H. Johnson.

The afternoon was spent in steer riding and foot racing. Oscar Hale won first prize in riding the roughest pitcher. Victor Hale won first prize in the hundred yards dash.

By one who was present.

Armistice Day Celebration by the American Legion Was Successful
Grand Parade, Demonstrations by Ex-Soldiers, Speaking, Etc.,
Are Features of the Big Day

From sunrise Monday, until late at night, the peace celebration at Waldron were continued. The sidewalks were lined with men, women and children all standing at attention during the grand parade. At eleven o'clock sharp, all the whistles in the city blew long blasts and the people with hats off, and facing the east, uttered silent prayers for the peace and well being of our beloved land. Immediately thereafter, the parade, headed by the soldier boys under command of Omer O. Payne of the John Tolleson post marched east followed by the Red Cross float on a large motor truck. Next were the school children on foot, and a number of Red Cross nurses, young ladies on horseback. The W.C.T.U. and the Women's Missionary Society were also in the parade, as well as a representation of the Farmer's Union.

Automobiles brought up the rear. The procession marched south to the intersection of Main and Church street, then turning north by the cotton yard and thence back to the courthouse from the place of starting.

In the afternoon there were a number of patriotic speeches made by some of the lawyers, preachers and others. A specially attractive feature of the speaking program was the placing on the head of Omer O. Payne a beautiful floral wreath by the Reverend C.L. Franks, proclaiming him Commander of the Legion Post No. 46. A "bull pen" with mock trial, boxing matches, and other interesting features made this a very enjoyable day, and the Legion boys of Waldron are to be complimented on getting up such a highly entertaining program.

Much credit is due for the success of the day to Post Adjutant Sam K. Leming who devoted much time and labor to the various departments.

Mrs. Brown Writes Interesting Letter from Confederate Home

Little Rock, Ark.

Mr. Cox:

I am going to try to tell the good people something about the Confederate home thru the columns of your paper. I will say that all that are having to depend on others for a home; all who can I think would do well to come to the confederate home for it is a good home. We have plenty to eat, a nice place to sleep and if we are not able, we don't have a thing to do only eat, sleep and enjoy life.

The home is heated by steam; electric lights, hot and cold water, a good doctor to doctor us when we get sick, kind nurses to care for us. We have a fine bus that holds fifteen and also a five passenger car. We are given an outing every Saturday evening. A nice chapel and services every sabbath evening at three by a Methodist minister and also a Nazarene holiness has preached some for us. We have singing two nights thru the week. The pastor preaches in the sick wards to those who are not able to go to the chapel.

They freeze our own ice and raise our own vegetables for us to eat. In fact everything that can be done is done for the old folks. We have visitors often. Our Superintendent is a fine man and our matrons are fine ladies; in fact all who are in anyway connected with the care of the home does nicely.

There are some very old people here. One lady 104 years, is always cheerful and sings like a lark.

The laundry one week washed 4284 pieces, so you can see there is a large family of us. There is about two hundred of the inmates besides the employe[e]s at present. There is several sick. Amongst them is sister King who is very low. She has friends at Waldron who will feel sad about her but such is life. Some sweet day we all must leave this world for either a brighter or a sadder place. One here has many chances to do a kind act. Some are blind, some crippled in different ways. Some has to go in wheel chairs, some on crutches and some confined to their beds. It is a sad sight tho most all seem cheerful.

Our cook stove holds eight hundred biscuits at one baking. We get five dollars every month to spend as we see fit and an order of fifteen dollars twice a year to buy our clothing. It seems to me we should be contented. For my part I thank God and all who are concerned for my share in it and I can say I am much better satisfied here than I have ever been elsewhere for I can, at all times feel that I am welcome.

Mattie Brown, Little Rock, Ark.

High School Herald Complimented by Fort Smith Printing Company

Ft. Smith, Ark.
November 9, 1923

Mr. J.B. Cox, Editor,
Advance Reporter,
Waldron, Arkansas.

Dear Sir:

We are pleased to acknowledge your letter of the 6th enclosing the September and October copies of the High School Herald and we must say that the mechanical part of the work is very well executed and the school should have no complaint against it.

We think the paper as a whole is worthy of commendation and hope that the school will continue its publication.

As to making you a price, we believe that you are in a position to handle it there on the ground much cheaper than we could and we told them so in a former letter when they asked us to quote a price on this paper. We advised them to stay with you telling them that you were publishing a nice sheet and we believed that you could make a better price than we could.

Yours very truly, Fort Smith Printing Company, W.B. Wilmans, Pres.

Mrs. Sparks' daughter Mrs. Lucy Williams, husband and baby is visiting their relatives and friends here at Piney. Miss Pearl Monroe took dinner with Miss Marie Young Sunday. The Missionary church met Sunday to select a new clerk for the future year. Miss Flossie Lane and Rena Davis was elected for clerk. They didn't think it would be right to elect one of them without the other, for they are just like twin sisters. We feel they will be faithful servants. Pie supper at Piney Saturday night November 17, everybody come and bring someone with you. [By] A Reader.
