+ TUCKERMAN DEPART- ▲
+ MENT. +
Mrs. Bryan Parrott, of Newport,
was visiting Tuckerman friends and
associates last Tuesday.
Mrs. Morton returned home last
week after a two weeks’ visit among
relatives at Little Rock.
The Tuckerman Cash Store has a
special sale on this week and as us
ual it is attracting much attention.
C. M. Ivy, of Newport, was here
during the early part of the week vis
L rig at the home of his brother, Dr.
J. B. Ivy.
There is seemingly a great scarcity
of news in these parts' just now. We
would appreciate the assistance of
the people of town and vicinity in get
ting the news.
The roads have been unusually
good considering the weather during
the past fortnight. Automobile trav
eling has been about as good as any
time during the past year.
Chas. E. Smith, whose home is near i
Hickory Grove, and who recently en- j
listed in the navy, was recently trans- j
ferred from Pensacola, Florida to
Hampton Roads, Virginia.
A red hot stove turned over one
day this week in Miss Clara Harvey’s j
room at the public school building.
Considerable excitement prevailed
but not much harm was done.
Deputy Sheriff Chas. Hogan, of
, Newport, was here Tuesday, looking
after official affairs. He is always
glad of the opportunity to get back
" among his kin and friends at this
place.
The weather man has been giving '
us practically every kind of weather |
during the past week. Warm and ;
pleasant days followed by heavy i
rains, snow, sleet and freezing has j
been the mixture.

Alf James recently sold his inter
est in the James Bros, business which 1
is located a few miles west of town.
His brother, Hub, was the purchaser ;
and will continue to operate the farm,
store and gin in the future.
Cam Dunn, of Swifton, was here 1
last Saturday attending to personal ,
j business matters. He had just re
• turned from a visit to one cf his sons
w who s one of Uncle Sam’s soldiers
at C. np Beauregard. He reports the
gener. 1 conditions of the camp as be
i/tg entirely satisfactory to his son.
1
There still seems to be a scarcity of j
all kinds of fuel at this place. Many ;
people declare that another winter ■
will not catch them without a suffi- j
cient amount of fuel on hand. We |
still contend that a wood yard wrould
be a very paying proposition if lo
cated here.
Alf James recently moved his fam
ily to Tuckerman and they are now
occupying the Graham residence at
the rear of the City Drug Store.
Graham Bros, are having the room
just north of the postoffice prepared j
for one of our merchants, wrho will
^ change his place of business within a
short time.
The weather has been a little more J
favorable for farm work during the
past week than it had been most of
the time during the past month or ;
more. Some have been picking cot
' ton and hauling to the gins. How
ever, not enough is being gathered to J
enable the gins to run. The manner ,
in which the frost bitten bolls con- ,
tinue to open will cause cotton pick
ing to continue all winter unless the j
weather should become fair and re
main so for an unusual length of;
time. ■*'

We desire'to say a Yvord this week
in the interest of the Independent
and concerning the Tuckerman depart
n ment. This department is maintain
ed at quite an item of expense by the
Independent. While the merchants
were advertising through the depart
ment, the paper was able to realize
a small profit with its maintenance.
But during recent months the de
partment has been devoid of patron
age. We want to urge upon our mer
chants to take advantage of this ser
vice, because with the vast circula
tion which the Independent has in
this territory, advertising will prove a
great asset for the merchant.
MAYOR RESIGNS.
Mayor J. E. Bowen, who has held
the office of mayor since the town
election last April, presented his r.v
signation tq the&eouncil last Monday
night. The council accepted his rs
* 9 \ I.
signation and elected S. L. Bogle to
fill out the unexpired term.
Mr. Bowen is engaged in the stock
and butcher business and his part i f
the work keeps him away from town
so much that he felt as if he was not
doing justice to the offee. He has
made a capable and efficient official
and his servicces were satisfactory to
the entire population of the town with
the exception of few extremists. I
—
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
The school board recently adver-!
tised that they will offer to sell bonds
to the amount of about $30,000. They
2xpect to enter into a contract for the
erection of a new school building,
rhey have planned to sell the bonds,
inter into contract for the erection
;f the building and arrange for the
ictual work of construction to begin
is soon as the pi-esent term of school
jxpires.
ENFORCEMENT OF STOCK LAW.
The town council several months
xgo passed an ordinance which pro
libits stock from running at large
within the corporate limits of town,
rhe same was to be effective the first
lay of this month. However, a peti
tion was circulated asking that the
jrdinance be repealed and it was an
xounced that the law would not be
xnforeed until the council considered
the petition. At the regular meeting
jf the council last Monday night the
petition was presented but it was de-'
nied. The council ordered the mar
shal to give notice that after January
20th the law would be rigidly en
forced.
We believe this law will prove very
satisfactory and very profitable as |
well. There is practically nothing
for stock on the outside now-a-days
and the pasturage afforded “on the
commons” from a financial stand
point will not offset the expenses of
fencing against them. After the
town has had a fair trial of the law
we believe there will be but little op-1
position to it.
INFANT DAWSON
The Death Angel entered the home
of G. T. Dawson a few days ago and
took from it a little child, who had
been there a few shor( months. The
remains were laid to rest at Battle
Axe cemetery the following day. The
parents have the sympathy of their
friends and neighbors in this sad be
reavement
HAD THE GRIP THREE WEEKS.
With January comes la grippe,
Lingering colds seem to settle in the
system, causing one to ache all over,
feel feverish and chilly, tired, heavy
and drooping. Mrs. Lizzie Tyles,
Henderson, Ky., writes: “My daugh
ter had la grippe for three weeks.
I gave her Foley’s Honey and Tar
and now she is all right.—Walker’s
Pharmacy. Advertisment
We are pleased to learn that Har
vey E. L. McCollum of Newport has
accepted a position with the Inde
pendent. He will represent the paper
in the field throughout the county,
and will spend much of his time in the
Tuckerman territory. Mr. McCollum
is an able newspaper man, a man of
pleasing personality, and has a num
ber of friends in Tuckerman and Bird
township.
Rheumatism Yields
Only rheumatic sufferers know
the agony of its darting pains,
aching joints or twisting cords.
But some few have not known that
has been correcting this trouble
when other treatments have
utterly failed.
Scott’s is essentially blood-food
in such rich, concentrated form
that its oil gets into the blood to
alleviate this stubborn malady.
Get a bottle of Scott’s Emul
«sion or advise an ailing
friend. No alcohol.
The Norwegian cod liver oil in
Scott’s Emulsion is now refined in our
own American laboratories which
makes it pure and palatable.

To Rightly Cook
Two Famous Dishes
We want every user of Quaker Oats
and Pettijohn’s to cook these cereals
rightly. Right cooking makes them
doubly delightful. It keeps the flavor
intact. It makes them easy to digest.
This Aluminum Cooker has been
made to order to meet exact require
ments. It is extra large, so little or
much can be cooked in it. It i« extra
heavy, made to last a lifetime.
This Cooker will next week cost you
only $1, if you send us the trademarks
we ask f> r. This is a costly offer.
And we simply want to know, before
sending the Cooker, that you are a
Quaker Oats user.

Laxative Luxury
Pettijohn’s Breakfast Food is soft rolled wheat, hiding 25 per cent bran
flakes. It is a flavory dainty of which no one ever tires. And it supplies
the needed bran. Bran is Na.are’s laxative. Everybody needs it. Most
folks would feel better if they ate it every day.
Fine foods clog the system. Bran supplies the needed roughage. Every
doctor, as you know, urges h use, to avoid the need of drugs.
Try it one week. Note ti e good spirits which result.. Never again will
you return to a branless diet.
Pettijohn’s Flour is another bran dainty. That is 75 per cent while
patent flour and 25 per cent bran flakes. Use like Graham flour in any recipe.
With these fwo produg s every meal can include some bran-made dainty.
