OVERFLOWING SPREAD
! MENACE DISTRICTS;
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 9. (£>)—
The rushing race of waters was on in
i Arkansas, Saturday night, between
I Mississippi swollen tributaries and
| the ponderous old river herself. Plant
I ers were hoping the floods would be
emptied into the Mississippi before
they attained such stages as to over
flow their banks and levees. More
! than 5,000 acres along the White Riv
er already are inundated and many
I more menaced. A hundred families
have been forced to flee their homes
and others are getting ready to move
out.
THANKS EXTENDED
It is well at this time to extend cred*
it to the young people’s class for the
manner in which they decorated the
Community church yesterday and a
word of thanks to those who loaned
their potted plants and flowers.
