TUCK Eli MAN
The W. O. W. meeting Saturday
evening was a grand success. The
attendance was large. Refreshments
were served and all seemed to enjoy {
themselves. Fairer Newberry,
state manager of the W. O. W., was
present and gave the Woodmen a
splendid address. There were about
60 new members received and be
cause of the lengthy program, the
WOTK UI lllSliliJunun wiuua ♦»«> |
deferred till two weeks later. The i
Woodmen will have another rally;
soon, at which time a great many
more are expected to join the order.
Moving seems to be the order of the
day. J. T. Julian is moving to the
country. E. C. Julian has moved to
his farm where he can look after his
interests better.
E. C. Vick has purchased the E.
C. Julian town property and is oc
cupying same.
We understand that Dr. Norris:
will soon come to Tuckerman and oc-'
cupy the Dr. Jamison property in
West Tuckerman.
Several new buildings are being
erected in West Tuckerman, which
seems destined to be the leading res
idence section of our city.
W. B. Slaydcn of the Slayd; n
'■ Mercantile Company -has gone to St.
Louis, where he will purchase a
complete line of ladies’ and gents’
furnishings. The Cook house re
cently vacated by J. C. Cook & Sons,
will be fully equipped for their new
line. Said line will be one of the
nicest and most complete establish
""‘’■-wmeqts in the county.
It is"Tcpoited that the “flu’’ is
again raging in the vicinities of ( m
terville and Battle Axe. There a ■'
a few cases in Tuck.-niiaa.
The people of Tuckcrm; n are
joicing at the prospect of soon b
connected with the Newport I'
system. We are informed that tk
work of connection is nearing com
pletion.

Albert Coe, one of Tuckerman’s J
popular young men, has just returned ^ ,
from the colors. He was stationed at
Vancouver Barracks, Wash.
The death Angel visited the home
of Mr. Moore, who lives on the Har
rison farm north of town, and | f
claimed as his victim the mother in (
the home, Mrs. Moore.
Our school is progressing nicely
under the efficient management of
Prof. Albright. We have one of the
best school buildings in North Arkan- ,
sas, and Tuekerman people are cer
tainly proud of it.
Harry Lawrence, one of Tucker
man’s popular young men who has
been at home on a short furlough

days than was ever known in the same
length of time. However, there will ,
continue to be many changes as long
as per cent of our people are ten

The Methodist church at this place
is "asi developing a progressive «rrr't,
the Sunday school last Sunday record
ing just twice the number of pupils
it had cr.e year ago. The Rev. Mr. j j
Albright delivered two very instruc- j
tive and entertaining sermons. The j
church and missionary society have .
each adopted a French orphan, also!
ten individual members have adopted
,n orphan.
Poplar Bluf f has gone dry and New
port has abolished the punch boards.
Good! Now, if Tuckerman will fall
in line and abolish the punch boards,
the sale of cigarettes and punch the
“blind tiger” out of town, the people j
will “rise up” and call the town offi
cers blessed. Tuckerman has endured
more drunkenness, Sabbath desecra
tion and profanity during the past
Aix months, than she has for the last
decade.
Tuckerman has about 713 worthless
dogs, which should be disposed of.
Wonder if the city dad’s have repealed
the “dog law?”
