ORGANIZER TELLS
OF UNION’S GROWTH.
Editor Independent: — Think
ing perhaps it would be of some
encouragement to the members
of the Farmers’ Educational and
Co-operative Union of Jacksor
county, I will give below a short
sketch of my last trip.
Left home Saturday for Au
vergne, met with the good peo
ple of that neighborhood at Sand
church at night. After explain
ing the intent and object of the
order we were happy to organizt
them into a union with eighteer
charter members.
( Sunday being decoration day
we remained with them and toot
part in the exercises, which be
ing their first attempt resulted
in great credit to the neighbor
hood.
iney served a sumptuous din
ner on the ground, and addresses
were delivered by Sim Bowmar
and I. W. Barker.
From there we went to the
home of Bro. Bowman and spenl
a pleasant night.
Monday morning went to Mar
tin school house, where we hac
the good fortune to be able te
organize a union on Tuesdaj
night with eight members.
From there started for home
at Elgin.
And so the good work goes on
The broad wings of the union are
spreading everywhere, and we
hope the time will soon come
when all farmers in old Jacksor
can say that they are under it!

Gus, did you
last Sunday night? ^
Capt. Riddell is reported quit?
ill this morning, though not se
riously.
R. W. Anderson has been doing
a rushing sweet potato business
this season.
Gus Swearingen, who was re
ported ill last evening, was much
improved this morning and able
to be up.
That careworn, troubled ex
pression is wearing off the faces
of the citizens of this place as
the water goes down.
The water is receding and the
days of boat riding in the back
water are a thing of the past un
less another overflow comes.
There is quite a little sickness
in town at present; some have
been ill for a good while, but all
are reported improving rapidly.
Jacksonport lodge of the Fra
ternal Home met Tuesday night
and there was a good attendance.
A meeting was also called for;
Friday night.
The boiler arrived for the
White River Cooperage Co., and
they are unloading it today: this
will make three boilers in their
battery.
We were advised by Elmo Rid
dell this morning that after a
number of years of preparation
he is now ready to launch his
real estate enterprise. His plan
is truly very unique and sure to
be successful, as he works on
the co-operative plan.
Mayor J. M. Gibson informs
us that the railroad company is
going to build a large platform
on Jefferson street, where the
train stops for the convenience
of passengers and freight. This
I will be very welcome and we
i hope to see it completed shortly.
If Newport can not raise the
required funds to purchase a site
for the veneer plant why don’t
they fall in with Jacksonport
and help to locate the plant here?
It will benefit Newport nearly as
much and the benefit will revert
jto Newport anyway. We will
I give a good site, so ’tis said, and
| that will be the equivalent of the
! $7,000 required. Study over this
| a little and let us hear from you.
In last week’s edition of the
! Independent we noticed a very
; brilliant write-up of Hickory
! Grove over the non-de-plume of
! “Twilight.” There were inqui
ries made about Sunny Jim, and
we wish to state that we have
i been so very busy trying to keep
from working that we have not
had time to make our appearance
: in the paper as usual. Tw ilight,
; the writer is much interested in
the welfare of Hickory Grove
• and we hope you will again make1
your appearance, and it is our
i earnest desire that you do not
miss an item of interest in mak- j
ing your reports to the paper.
\ i
! j Hoping all correspondents will
j appear hereafter as they should
we will close. Auvergne, let’s
| hear from you. Let’s all join
the Sunshine club and swell the
i membership.

FURTHER BOODLE
has fallen, and the burning ques
tion is, who has been hit?
The Pulaski county grand jury
today returned nine indictments,
only two of the persons indicted
being in custody, one for murder
and one for grand larceny.
It is tacitly admitted by those
who know that several of the
remaining seven indictments are
for members of the general as
sembly, in connection with the
boodling investigation that has
been conducted since the ad
journment of the legislature by
Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton.
So far as can be learned from
the sheriff’s office no bench war
rants had been issued for a con
siderable time following the re
port of the grand jury. It is be
lieved, however, that all of the
persons indicted will be in cus
tody by tomorrow evening.
Most sensational developments
are hinted at by those who are
in a position to know, but the
grand jury has adjourned until
June 19.
In the interim between this
and the meeting of the grand
jury again Prosecuting Attorney
Rhoton will arrange his plan of
campaign and get his material
in hand for another onslaught on
the alleged boodlers.
One of the most interesting
bits of gossip in connection with
the grand jury investigation is
that several parties have turned
state’s evidence. It is also ru
mored that several indictments
will be based upon the alleged
use of money in the Cache River
levee legislation.
Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton
has said that some one should
start a school or invent some for
mula for the loss of memory,
with which many of the wit
nesses have been most painfully
afflicted.
PRESIDENT OF SENATE INDICTED.
A. W. Covington, president of
the senate, was arrested in Little
Rock Wednesday on two indict
ments for bribery and gave
bond for $5,000 in each case,

met death in a tragic manner
late yesterday evening while fish

from here.
With a negro he was in a boat
containing dynamite which they
were to use in their sport. This
dynamite accidentally exploded,
hurling both men into the water.
The negro, who was seriously
bruised, managed to escape, but
the body of young Patterson
went down, and when recovered
this morning was found to be
badly mutilated and bruised, one
arm having been entirely blown
off.
