YELLOW SCHOOL HOUSE.
Weather and health are both about
the same up here.
Mr. R. H. Dark and family went up
to Battle Axe last Sunday afternoon.
Tnere will be a meeting at the Yel
low School House the fourth Sunday
in this month for the purpose of or
ganizing a Sunday School. There will
be preaching by Professor Stewart
at 2 o’clock and at 3 o’clock we will
organize Sunday School. Let every
body come, for we never pass this
way but once and we should
to learn and teach His word.
Jake Hout of Elgin passed thi
here Monday.
Tad Bradley went to Battle Axe
Sunday evening.
Say. everybody, about that county
singing convention that Professor D.
K. Hubbard of Tuckerman was writ
ing about a while back—let's have
it. Let every singing class and choir
in the county take interest and a part
in this movement. Every county on
all sides of us is organized and has
been all the time. Let’s get busy for
it’s a great idea. Greater than you
think, by far, for it’s a good roads
helper and for the betterment of ev
erything.
Dr. Jamison and Bob Graham of
Tuckerman passed out through 115th
ward of the above named city Tues
day. Only mention the above that
the public may know where the Yel
low School House is located.
Mr. and Mrs. Barnett and Mrs. Pen
ix went to Tuckerman Wednesday.
Mrs. Hattie Lawrence went out to
Tuckerman one day this week.
Well, I will close by saying, Hur
rah for the county singing conven
tion and don’t forget Sunday School
the fourth Sunday at this place.

BATTLE AXE.
This is Wednesday, the 8th of April,
but one might easily suppose it to
be February, if he were to judge by
temperature, direction of wind and
appearance of clouds. Presume it is
cur Easter flurry, arriving about four
days ahead of schedule time. If next
I Sunday is at all similar to this East
j er flowers, etc., will seem entirely too
I premature.
J. W. Lindley is spending today in
| Newport, looking after taxes and
j some other business affairs, and will
I stay over tonight to meet Mrs. Lind
i ley and little Ruth, who are to return
j from their Melbourne visit.
“Jim A.” is in Tuckerman to bring
out the new grist mill.
Chickenpox conditions are more fa
vorable; no new cases and old cases
improving. Fearing spread of the
disorder, we had no Sunday School or
preaching service last Sunday. Pre
sume we shall go on as usual next
Sunday.
W. S. Garner has been too sick to
work for several days, but was able
to shoot rats about the barn yester
day. He and Jim Thompson, togeth
er, having killed something over 20
with target rifles. Morgan Dickey,
brother of Mrs. Fletch Richie, and
Mrs. W. S. Garner, died across the
j river of pneumonia a few days ago.
i Mr. and Mrs. Richie went over to see
j him, arriving there only in time to
j attend the burial. Mr. Dickey spent
the fall and winter picking cotton in
this vicinity.
The infant of Louis Turner and
wife was buried in Battle Axe ceme
tery Saturday.
C. A. Tyer is working for T. E.
Jones this week, making addition to
his residence and preparing to install
the waterworks referred to in my
last notes.
Corn planting and bedding for cot
ton much in evidence now. Some of
our farmers not planting any com,
making the entire crop cotton. Glad
to say we have only a few of that
type of cranks and hope they will
learn better in the future.
J. W. Lindley has just put on the
range 370 head of cattle. Grass now
seems to be sufficiently large to keep
them. Including cows with calves in
pasture and cows being milked at
various and sundry' places, from Tuck
erman to Alicia, he has something
over 550 head.
Speaker Clark’s Sad Mistake.
Speaker Champ Clark went out
of his way to unloose great
chunks of oratory, wind jam
ming, hot air spouting, which
ever you choose to call it, in op
position to the recommendation
of President Wilson. A great
many believe that this act on
the part of Champ Clark will
mean his elimination from the
speakership in the next House,
as his opposition to say the least
was one of narrow statesman
ship and exceedingly bad party
policy. Speaker Clarke has
never gotten over the fact of
his defeat for nomination in 1912

Those who are well informed
are predicting that the bill re
pealing the free toll will pass the
i senate by a good safe majority
and will become a law in a few
weeks. It is also believed that
the overwhelming majority

House will add strength to the

A Competent Witness.
Last week during the closing
days of circuit court the Rollins
will case was on trial. The heirs
were trying to break the wrill on
the ground that the deceased did
not know what he was doing at
the time he subscribed to it, nor
had he been properly at himself
for some time, before the will
was made. Among other wit
nesses put on the stand wras No
be Sloan, a darkeyr, who had
worked with Rollins in the tinv
ber. The question was put:
“Well, Nobe, did you ever see
anything strange about the de
ceased?” “I sho’ did!” “Well,
tell the jury what you know'
about him.” “You see, he and
me was working together in the
timber; I had, one end of the saw

nobody was in a mile of us. All
at once he stopped pulling and
looked around kinder w'ild and

Who’s The Youngest.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 11.—The e
lection of Ernest Hatley of Polk
county as a member of the leg
islature at the age of 24 Las
opened up an interesting contro- ■
versy concerning the youngest j
law-maker of the state, and it j
appears that there are a number
who claim the laurels that had
been (assigned to Mr. Hatley
without due investigation.
The palm now seems rightly
belong to former Attorney Gen
eral Hal L. Norwood now of Lit
tle Rock, who was elected rep
resentative of Carroll county be
fore he was twenty-one, and was
elected in September, following
his 2ist birthday in February.
Festus 0. Butt made a cam
paign for representative of Car
roll county before he was
twenty-one, and was elected in
September, following his 2lst
birthday in February.
The late George P. Taylor of
St. Francis county was elected a
few weeks after he attained
his majority, having received
the nomination before his twen
ty-first birthyday.
Col. J. W. House and Col.
George Thornburgh, both of
whom are now residents of Lit
tle Rock, were both elected to
the legislature in 1870, at the
age of 23 years.
And Mr. Hatley will be deni
ed even the distinction of being
the “Kid of the House”, at the
ensuing term, since Oscar Ellis,
recently nominated from Fulton
county, is only 21 years old.

Amateur Soldiers Receiving In
struction.
What can be done with recruits
in a short time, is being demon
strated by Adjutant General
Lloyd England of the Arkansas
National Guard. It is being
shown in the way the officers and
men wear their clothes, as well
as in their field tactics. Clothes
do not put the fight in soldiers,
bu it certainly improves their
appearance, and up to the pres
ent time, parade duty has been
the chief source of conflict for
the members of the Arkansas
National Guard.
The school of instruction for
officers of the Guard is now in
progress at Fort Logan H.
Roots, and here the amateur sol
diers are geting first hand in
struction from men who make
the fighting game a profession.
Adjutant General England took
a post graduate course, covering
seven years, in the coast artill
ery service, and he is telling the
citizen soldiers what they must
do to act the part.
Heretofore, when the guards
men came to Little Rock, their
clothes were worn with the
reckless abandon of a Mardi
Gras masquerader. This time
they were all dolled up as though
for a party and many have com
mented upon the return of the
Regulars from the Mexican bor
der, not dreaming they were
thus complimenting the Arkan
sas National Guard. Adjutant
General England says the men
will all ast as well as look like
soldiers, in another year.
