“A number of fruit tree agents are

f Stock for fall delivery. They prom

fc, are that you will never see him after
f paying him for the trees. Do not
buy trees from such agents. A little

low out,” says J. S. Knox.
It will soon be time to plant a fall
Crop of Irish potatoes. Begin now to
prepare the ground for same. See
that the surface of the soil is kept
Sh>~- stirred to conserve all possible mois

patch of these fall potatoes because
the price is sure to be high. Select

I BELLINGRATH-UMSTED
HOME WEDDING.
A pretty home wedding that took j
j place Wednesday evening at nine j
o’clock at the home of the brde’s pur-1
;ents, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Umsted,;
was that of Miss Leone Umsted and ;
■ Mr. Carl Bellingrath. The ceremony |
| was said by Rev. Mr. Lyman-Wheaton :
of the Episcopal church in the pres-'
ence of a large family circle and
! a few friends of the contracting par-1
j ties.
The place of ceremony'was marked !
| by an improvised altar and archway
j of palms, ferns and pink roses with
I white tulle bows. Baskets and vases
jof beautiful pink and white roses i
j were attractively placed throughout
i the reception rooms. The bride wore
! a handsome going-away gown of
taupe cloth, with hat, boots and
gloves to harmonize, and wore a cor
sage bouquet of pink roses. She was
given in marriage by her father John
T. Umsted. Her maid of Honor, Miss
Lochie Graham, who wore an exquis
ite gown of blue crepe meteor, also
carried pink roses. Little Virginia
Hinkle was the sweet little ring
bearer, and with her dainty little
j frock, was a picture of loveliness, as
jshe performed her duties so well, car
drying the ring in a big pink rose.
Before the ceremony Miss Mildred
| Reamey sang, “I Love You Truly,” j
and the wedding march was played !
by Mrs. Maude Reamey. The groom
entered with his best man, R. D. |
Brown.
Following the ceremony a reception j
was held and in the beautifully dec- j
orated dining room refreshments were i
served. Later in the evening Mr. and
Mrs. Bellingrath left for Memphis for
'a week’s honeymoon visit before re
i turning to this city, where they will
imake their home, Mr. Bellingrath be-]
] ing the genial young manager of the I
Coca Cola Bottling Company’s plant ]
here. The very best wishes of their j
large circle of friends is extended
for their future happiness.
PLENTY OF SUGAR
TO PUT UP FRUITS.
There will be plenty of sugar to put
up Arkansas fruit this year, accord
ing to Hamp Williams, the food ad
ministrator, who has assured the spe
cialists with the Extension Division
that they can have the club members
and farmers’ wives throughout the
state go ahead with their prepara
tions and put up as much fruit as
possible. To secure the sugar for
this work it is only necessary to go
to your grocery store and sign a lit
tle pledge, stating that the sugar de
sired is for the purpose of putting up
fruit and that all surplus sugar not
used in this manner will be returned.
All grocerymen should have these
certificates on hand; if they do not
have them, they can get them by
writing to the food administrator.
The Independent works for you.
Use it as your salesman. It carries
news of the store into hundreds of
homes.
In asking the people to Invest in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, the
government is not asking them to
on a paying basis.

TWO (2) BOYS GONE.
Wanted to know at once the where- j
abouts of my two boys Johnnie Har- !
low age 17 weight about 110 lbs. and j
very dark hair, and Jonathan Harlow, ■
age 12, weight about 85 or 90 lbs. and j
light hair. Both have blue eyes and
are nearly the same height. Were
last seen in Denmark, Ark., May 13th,
1918. Each had on a brown cap and
blue overalls with bibs. Were never
away before. I know of no good rea
son for their absence. Believe that
some malicious person has induced
:hem .to go away or that evil has be
fallen them. May be on a farm or
with a show. They are needed very •
badly at home as their mother is dead
and I am a cripple. Have a large
crop to tend and two very small chil
dren and one baby to look after, and
have no housekeeper. Anyone locat
ing them do not mention this notice
to the boys, but try to keep track of
them, or else hold officially and at
once write, wire or telephone me or
send me messenger at my expense
and I will surely compensate as far
as I am able. I am their father and
live 2V2 miles west of Denmark, Ark. ^
All city marshals and others officers,
or any person, please give this your
quick attention. All other papers:
please copy and oblige.
