Some of the older Citizens may hold in memory an image of a little black headed girl on the streets of Mulberry twenty years ago. That was Iilot Clark. now a famous missionary in Autralia. The Anti-Pipe Smoking Society is trying' to persuade her to come back to the States and do some campaign work in behalf of tem- perance. lf they succeed, we mal' before a great while have the pleasure of hearing her lec- ture. ln the meantime we must be contented with a number of contributions from her pen. The tirst one follows: ln-ar Editor: l have seen many different places since I left Mulberry nineteen years ago. Perhaps you would he interested In hear ot' some of my experiences. I came here with aries and several other mission- went directly to the mission where we belong. lYhen we tirst arrived I felt very near- ly like hacking out and going' hack home, for it sure was a for- lorn looking country. XVhen I saw the people l thought Xl'ell, Good Nigrhtl' They were the kind that you read about, wild, black and dirty and very feyv ot' them could speak any English. just those who had at- tended the mission schools ,Xf- ter l had been here a few weeks l became more adapted to the plaee and did not mind it so much. As I said before. we were sent directly to the missions where we were to take Charge. In this one Ilia-Te were about sixty children altogether, some ot' them barely old enough to talk and others twenty In twen- ty-five years old but still could not speak a single English word. Our task was indeed a very hard one, but we set right to work and our efforts do not seem to have been entirely fruitless for all now speak English fairly well and try to do all that we ask them to do. They also seem to like us very much, indeed they seein almost to Worship us, look- l l l ing upon us as some divine guide or soinethingr. IVell, l must get back to work. Vl'ill 4-ontribute other articles soon. Sincerely. Dorothy Vlrtik GRII.-VI' I'0DIllENI'ElllCX'l'. The biggest t'ominen4'ement ev- er held in Mulberry was held in the community hall last 1Ved- nesday evening when fifty-six Seniors of the local hiah sf-hool I'el'f?lYetl diplomas.

LEE ROTHEXBERGER H l'R'I'. .X very serious accident oc- cured early Tuesday morning at the State Rank, when Lee Roth- '-nberger gut his whiskers caught in the safe door. He was as us- ual doin: his morning work of sweeping out the safe and when coming' out, the door from some unknown cause was swung shut and caught his handsome beard. Of course Lee jerked backward, but it was too late. for the beard was torn completely nit. The un- fortunate victim was rushed to his home and Dr. Nelson Combs was summoned. Although a very serious case. Doc thinks that he can pull him through in a month or two. Mr. Rothenber- :er has been employed in the bank for 23 or 24 years and is very well thought tif in the com- munity. The rect-nt high waters remind some of the older ones of the ilwutl of 11113, although the wa- ters this time were not so high as before. Little XVild Cat has' been very wild recently, junip- ing' out of its bed and destroy- ing considerable property. Prob- ably the psreatet loss was at the Mitchell Farm. Here it tookl fences, hog' coops and the win- ter's supply ot' feed, and nearly took oi.-im himself. The water' rose so rapidly that the lighter furniture of the house was soon :lf-ating and he and his wife I 1-i- k rf-ftige on the piano. From this perch oi' safety Glenn 1'1- nally sallied forth to rest-ue a lll1'Ill 1' pig by tolling her into the kitchen. He was unttcct-ss1'ul in this and came very near being whirled away by the swift cur- lvlll. Had the wat-r continued tw rise there is lltle doubt but that the house and all would have giillrl. ln that case Mrs. Mitch.-ll was pr.-pared In ac- :-oiniialiy her husband on the y-iano. .X wlieelharrow load of greens from Hamilton passed through today consigned to the Bricker fiuit stand. Mr. Bricker says that since orangw-s are hard In :et at this season, he will serve his customers gre:-ns for a few months tili conditions get back to normalcy. Tir. F. L. Hawkins, professor of l-uuology at XYlfl.fAllhfAl'pCf, was in town last week inspecting' the scenes of his boyhood. PERSONALS. Mr, Norman Rooher, the heavy weight, has been confined to his room recently because of an al- tercation with his wife. His condition has made it impossi- ble for him to referee the bas- ket ball game here next Friday. lt is rumored that Alberta Martin and Snippy Snodgrass were married in Danville last Sunday. Myrel Humphrey, former cit- izen of our town, now a resident ol' Klondike. is in town looking up old acquaintances. Myrel is so wealthy that he does not need to pay any attention to comlnon 1jlllf3,'S anymore. The Ituch dairy has not been able to supply all the customers the last month. Mr. Ruch says that his supply of feed is run- ning low and the well is almost dry. Mike Iluch is the subject ot' a. peculiar accident. Being a bach- elor one would naturally SLID- tliat illness was due to his own cooking but the D059 eating latest it is softening of the heart due tti tliu much consideration of the ladies. Friends of Miss Zerna Gable, formerly of Mulberry will be pleased to hear of her success. She is now soprano soloist for an opera company in Paris. tIll.b ilrof.
