President Lyle is an untiring and effective worker and many thousands of dollars have been raised following his efforts. At this time a new administration building is assured.
Since the Union of the U. S. A. and the C. P. churches the name of this school has been a misnomer, and has caused con- fusion and misunderstanding. During the meeting of the Ar- kansas Synod in Hot Springs in October of 1920 the name was changed to The College of the Ozarks, that being the one sug- gested by friends of the school in the East.
There was a sentiment among those who remembered the lifetime loyalty of Dr. Earle to the college work of this and other schools of this state, to name the institution The Earle College. By a majority vote, however, they chose The College of the Ozarks.
The College holds a charter from the state of Arkansas authorizing it to confer the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Expression. Honorary degrees of Doctor of Divinity are also conferred.
The Campus of the College contains ten acres situated on the beautiful hill overlooking the principal part of the town. The view stretches away to the Arkansas river four miles south, with a background of the Ozark mountains rising far away to the north.
The main administration building originally given by the

town, is standing today as the east half of the college. In about the year 1898 the west portion was erected.
The school is co-educational. A girls' Dormitory, Grove Hall, was erected in 1914. It is a modern, well arranged, and
well equipped building. The boys' Dormitory is a large frame building on College Hill directly north of the Campus. A residence on College avenue near the Campus on the east is also used for the young men students.
The foundation for a new dormitory for young men has been laid on the campus but owing to lack of funds has not yet been completed.
The necessary funds have been subscribed and plans made possible for a new administration building to be erected in 1922.

ORGANIZATIONS
MASONIC BODIES
Almost simultaneously with the churches and schools of a country comes the organization of fraternal bodies. As is the custom in most protestant communities the ancient order of Free and Accepted Masons was the first to be established in Johnson county.
Clarksville was little more than a name,-a court house, per- haps a half dozen stores and a dozen log residences when the first Blue Lodge, No. 5, working under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Arkansas, was established. When the Masonic Temple at Little Rock burned some time during the middle of the past century the records of this lodge were destroyed. There- fore, the exact date of organization is not known. Neither is the time or reason for its abandonment known.
From the records of Franklin Lodge No. 9 of Morrison's Bluff, Johnson County (Johnson County at that time embraced a part of what is now Logan County), we learn that as early as 1845 members of the defunct lodge at Clarksville were received as members there. The gentlemen who went from Lodge No. 5 were Augustus M. Ward, L. C. Howell, Wm. M. Adams, B. G. Clark, George Powell, J. N. Reynolds, Clayton R. Clark, L. L. Green, D. Hewey, J. Moreland, George Garrett, James Carnes, J. S. Houston, Oliver C. Woodey and Wm. McLane.
Franklin Lodge No. 9 was organized at Morrison's Bluff February 27, 1844. The Grand Lodge of Arkansas appointed T. C. Boyer, S. G. Adams, and Samuel Adams as representatives of the Grand Lodge to establish the new lodge and install its officers.

HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY
The Charter Members were, Jno. M. Strong, Lorenzo N. Clark, C. Q. Reynolds, Anthony Lewis, Daniel Henry, A. W. Peacock, Isemir Bean, John Sewell, Wm. Hill, F. M. Paine and B. F. Hershey.
The first officers were Jno. M. Strong, W. M .; John Sewell, S. W .; A. W. Peacock, J. W .; Lorenzo N. Clarke, Sec .; Anthony Lewis, S. D .; Isemir Bean, J. D .; Wm. Hill, Tyler.
John M Strong, the first Worshipful Master presided over the lodge his last time on October 21, 1848, for resolutions on his death state that on December 2, 1848 he breathed his last and the resolutions further eulogize him as a dignified and intelligent presiding officer, "one of the main pillars and brightest jewels of the order". and request that a copy of the resolutions be sent the Clarksville Standard and other papers of Arkansas and New York, for publication.
At a regular meeting of this lodge held at Morrison's Bluff, on November 4, 1848, Augustus M. Ward offered a resolution proposing to move the domicile of Franklin Lodge No. 9 to Clarksville, permission having been previously granted by the Grand Lodge. According the upper story of the Hershey build- ing situated on the south side of Main street was rented for the sum of forty dollars per annum and the furnishings and jewels of the lodge were moved to this new home. This Hershey build- ing was located on the lot three doors east of the First National Bank.
The Hershey residence, a house with a long front facing Main street also, stood on the lots east extending to the alley beyond the Herald-Democrat office. Mr. Hershey, sometime in the fifties, built a three story brick on the corner of Main and Cravens, where the Langford store now stands. This building was destroyed by fire in 1901.
In the records of the lodge appear two interesting installa- tions. The first took place before the removal from Morrison Bluff. The members assembled in the lodge room at the ap- pointed hour and marched abreast to the public stand where the Worshipful Master delivered an able address. Dinner was served having been prepared by "Bro. Duff and Lady".
The second installation took place at Clarksville on June 24, 1850. The members formed in line at the lodge room and marched to music furnished by H. L. Wilson and Geo. Basham

across the square to the little Methodist Church on the south side where a crowd awaited to witness the installation ceremonies. Prayer was offered by Rev. H. A. Sugg. The incoming officers were presented by A. L. Hershey and B. F. Hershey as they were formally installed. John Pitman delivered the address of the occasion. The officers were-Augustus M. Ward, W. M .; M. S. Hughes, S. W .; F. M. Paine, J. W .; J. F. Hill, Treas .; J. A. Walton, Sec .; C. W. Bruton, S. D .; G. S. C. Scott, J. D .; Andrew Houston, Tyler; H. L. White and Robt. Houston, Stewards.
The dinner for this occasion was furnished by B. F. Hershey and wife and was served for "one dollar per plate." Represen- tatives from other lodges over the state had been invited to wit- ness this installation, and the following gentlemen from Dover and Dardanelle honored the occasion with their pres- ence: A. W. Peacock, W. D. Sadler, H. A. Sugg, W. F. Cravens, L. C. Howell, Alec Loop, John Logan, J. R. H. Scott, Walter Scott, Jesse Hayden, Thos. Russell, - Sherman and
Tolbert. (Capt. L. C. Howell mentioned above as a visitor was from Pope County and was an uncle of the L. C. Howell of Johnson county)
Many acts of charity are accredited to this lodge in its early history and many relatives of deceased members obtained ma- terial aid from these splendid gentlemen who composed a large per cent of the better citizenship of that time.
The names of many more citizens were added to the roll dur- ing the period of the 50's-Some of these names are still familiar because their children or their children's children still reside here. Others equally as loved in those days, have passed to their reward, and even the sound of their names is unfamiliar, still their memory is cherished because of the life they lived a century ago. Among the number may be mentioned, John Titworth, C. W. Burton, B. H. Nesbit, Theophilus F. Garrett, D. D. Rosa, M. Carpenter, B. F. Peeler, Daniel Henry, L. F. Duff, Robert A. Latimer, John M. Steel, J. M. Rogers, W. L. Guthrie, S. W. Cravens, W. H. Adams, G. S. C. Scott, J. F. Hill, M. F. Hughes, J. J. Dorsey, G. W. Parker, John Ward, Jacob Rogers, Andrew Houston, Wm. L. Cravens, J. B.

HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY
Hanley, Edward Robinson, J. G. Walton, Philip May and Wm. Cunningham.
A chapter of Royal Arch Masons was instituted at Clarksville some time during the '70's which has steadily grown until it now has a membership of more than a hundred.
A noteworthy fact in connection with the history of this Royal Arch Chapter is that the late D. N. Clark was its Secretary for more than forty years. The Chapter meets once each month and during all these years the record of the minutes of every meeting appears in Mr. Clark's handwriting. Perhaps another like record could not be found in the state.
Within the last two years a Knights Templar Commandery has been instituted at Clarksville with a fairly good membership. In addition to the above Masonic bodies at Clarksville there are now located lodges at Lamar, Coal Hill, Knoxville, Spring Hill, Ozone, Ft. Douglas, Mt. Levi, Ludwig and Harmony.
OTHER LODGES
There are other lodges, more or less of a monitary con- sideration. Such as the Fraternal Aid Union, the Maccabees, the Woodmen of the World. Also farmers organizations and fruit growers associations, et cetera. The two great political bodies the Democrats and Republicans, sometimes initiate auxilaries which live for a time, serve their purpose and pass out. Com- mercial organizations come and go. The Klu Klux Klan is known to exist, but as to its extent, it is as mysterious as their apperism-The Invisible Empire.
ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR
Organized in Clarksville, Arkansas December 21, 1891.
The officers were: Mrs. Emma Davis, Worthy Matron; Mrs. Fanny Ward, Associate Matron; D. N. Clark, Worthy Patron.
Charter Members were: Sisters Rebecca Harris, Mollie Wolf, Fanny Ward, M. E. Molloy, Martha Ward, Mattie Adkins and J. T. Howell. Also Bros. D. N. Clark, C. C. May, J. M. Wolf, William Adkins, W. A. May and J. T. Howell.

FELIX I. BATSON CHAPTER U. D. C.
The United Daughters of the Confederacy of Clarksville, Arkansas, known as Chapter 221, was organized on April 20, 1898. A number of the daughters of confederate soldiers met in the afternoon of that spring day at the home of Mrs. Jorden E. Cravens on the corner of Sevier street and Central avenue, and banded themselves together as the charter members of this organ- ization that has done much to make pleasant the last days of many confederate soldiers. The names of those women were: Mesdames J. P. Mitchell, John C. Hill, J. E. Cravens, John W. Howell, J. N. Brown, B. P. McKennon, A. S. McKennon, E. T. McConnell, Misses Ada May, and Jessie Cravens (Mrs. J. Smith Ownby).
This Chapter was given its name complimentary to the father of Mrs. J. E. Cravens, Judge Felix I. Batson, who was the repres- entative from this district in the Congress of the Confederacy.
One year after this day the membership had grown but little, only five names having been added to the original ten, but in the fourth year, the maximum number of sixty two was enrolled.
Many of those daughters have passed away but granddaughters have taken their places and now after a quarter of a century has passed the number is but slightly less for names of fifty-five women still give impetus to the organization.
During the twenty-two years of the life of this chapter only three women have served as president-Mrs. J. E. Cravens, Mrs. WV. S. Jett and Mrs. J. S. Kolb, the latter having been elected three years ago.
Much state work is done by these women in accord with the stipulate program arranged each year for the Arkansas Chapters.

HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY
WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS
The organizations of the women, however, are more of a philanthropic nature and some of them of long standing with established records of accomplishments.
W. C. T. U .- Woman Christian Temperance Union of Clarksville was organized at the M. E. Church in the evening of April 21, 1885. Miss J. C. DeNelling representing the State or- ganization was present.
The officers elected were, to-wit: Mrs. J. H. Rhodes, Presi- dent; Mrs. B. D. Pennington, Vice-President; Mrs. J. P. Mitchell, Vice-President; Mrs. S. E. Rogers, Vice-President; Mrs. A. P. May, Recording Secretary; Mrs. A. E. McConnell, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. A. N. Brown, Treasurer; Mesdames J. W. Coff- man, Mattie Hunt, and Maggie McKennon, committee on pro- grams. Twenty names were enrolled, with two gentlemtn as honorary members. Mrs. Sam Laser and Mrs. M. A. Moore were devoted and faithful workers of recent years.
Cemetery Association-The primal move to better conditions at the Clarksville Cemetery west of the town, was made by the Board of Trustees of the M. E. Church on April 13, 1892. J. E. Cravens was the chairman and N. S. Connelly the Secretary. Other members were A. S. McKennon, J. C. Hill, W. T. Hunt, J. W. Coffman and M. D. L. Clark. Other gentlemen present were Dr. James and L. C. May. This organization laid off lots to sell and appropriated a potters field and otherwise improved con- ditions.
Three years later, on November 4, 1895, some women took over the active negotiation of the organization. This they called the Cemetery Association. They elected the following officers: Mrs. C. B. Rhodes, President; Mrs. Lula C. Penningtor. Secretary; Mrs. J. T. Harley, Treasurer. An executive committee consisted of Mesdames C. E. Stokes, B. D. Pennington and W. A. May. The name Oakland Cemetery was chosen by this Associa- tion, and on the arch over the gate (now the north gate) as is customary, the name was written. The present officers are to- wit: Mrs. A. B. Johnson, President; Mrs. Joe Evans, Vice Presi „dent; Mrs. W. J. Basham, Secretary, and Mrs. Fred White, Treas- 'urer. Executive Committee, Mesdames Mattie Logan, John Haigwood, and Finas Blackburn. This organization purchased a lot and built a house for a sexton, who looks after the cemetery. Some names of persons who were faithful members for long

years-Mrs. W. J. Basham, who has - been the Secretary for eighteen years, Mrs. B. D. Pennington, Miss Lizzie Pennington, Mrs. J. P. Molloy, Mrs. A. B. Johnson, Mrs. Lula C. Pennington, Mrs. Q. B. Poynor, Mrs. Fred White and Mr.s Mattie Logan. This organization has always been self-sustaining. While the Board of Trustees of the church claim no active part in the af- fairs of the Association, the chairman of that body must sign each certificate or deed for the sale of lots. The property was deeded by Jacob Dorcey to the Methodist Church of Clarksville.
Fortnightly Book Club-This woman's club featuring the study of history and literature was organized in 1904. Mrs. Jorden E. Cravens initiated the idea, and was the first president. Twenty women were carefully chosen and invited to join. Mrs. C. L. Pyle was one of the charter members and for a long time the president. This club is a member of the Arkansas Feder- ation of Woman's Clubs.
Apollo Music Club-The Apollo Music Club was organized in 1906. The first president was Mrs. Samuel Laser and the first Secretary was Mrs. G. O. Patterson. This club joined the National Federation of Music Clubs in 1908, the Arkansas Feder- ation of Woman's Clubs in 1910, and the Arkansas Musical Federation in 1916. This club paid half tuition and Prof. J. W. Brown, Dean of Music at Arkansas Cumberland College the other half, for a music pupil two years at that college.
Clarksville Civic Club-The C. C. C. was organized, with thirteen members February 13, 1913. The following officers were elected: Mrs. A. M. McKennon, President; Mrs. T. E. May, Vice President; Miss Maude McConnell (Mrs. Francis Poynor), Re- cording Secretary; Mrs. Cooper Langford, Corresponding Secre- tary. Other members were-Mesdames G. O. Patterson, Sam Laser, W. S. Jett, Ernest Fontaine, J. E. Nichols, Fremont Stokes, R. D. Dunlap, T. B. May and J. T. Farmer.
This club has been a most active one. The passenger station on West Main street was erected following efforts of this organ- ization. The city mail delivery was also a result of the efforts of these women. They called a mass meeting and raised suffi- cient money to purchase Glen Island Park, in Spadra Creek. They conducted picnics and Industrial Exhibits. They pur- chased the steel bridge that crosses the west prong of the creek, to the park. Mrs. A. M. McKennon, has been the president

eight years of the nine of organization.
School Improvement Association-Back in the first decade of this century or perhaps before, Mesdames Sam Laser and Flora McKennon were two constant and faithful members in an asso- ciation for the betterment of the public school. Mrs. Laser was the president. In 1912 a reorganization took place and seventy- five members were enrolled. Miss Elizabeth Pennington was elected president for one year. Then Mrs. Cooper Langford served for five years. At this time Mrs. Clark Thompson is the presiding officer.
The school funds were depleted in 1921 and these women are employing and paying the eleven literary teachers of the school, by public subscription for the nine months term.
Mrs. C. L. Flake was for seven years the Recording Secretary.
Mrs. A. F. Ward, has been a faithful member since the reorganization.
The Red Cross-was thoroughly organized all over the county during the period of the World War. Since peace it is manipulated on a smaller scale. Mrs. A. M. McKennon is chair- man and Mrs. H. W. Collier is secretary. Mrs. Sam Laser was an ardent worker for the cause of suffrage for long years, and was the president of that league. At this time she is associated with many other women in the more recent League of Women Voters.
There are other organizations of more recent date, of which records will not be given here. The College Improvement Asso- ciation of which Mrs. R. S. Davis is the president, the Y. W. C. A. as is also the Y. M. C. A,, are sponsored by the College of the Ozarks.
The Woman's Club of Ludwig is of several years standing. Mrs. Wm. Engelhard and Mrs. Ezra Adkins were two active members. The School Improvement Association of that neigh- borhood is doing good work. Woodland and Lone Pine have most active organizations. The Coal Hill and Lamar Improvement Associations have been a great benefit to the school work.
