Dr. V. L. Pascoe, of Newark, was
here a few days ago, returning from
Memphis, where his son, V. L., Jr.,
has recently been operated on. This
young man has shown a remarkable
spirit of patriotism in the last year.
He entered the army last summer, as
a volunteer, but was discharged on
account of physical disabilities. La
ter he tried to enter the aviation ser
vice, but was turned down for the
same reason. About a month ago he
went to Memphis to join the marines,
but was again rejected on account cf
physical disabilities, but was in
formed by the examining officer
that his physical deficiency could be
overcome bv an operation, which he
consented to and sent for his father.
The operation was performed a few
days ago and he is doing nicely, and
will enter the marines as soon as he
recovers.

LOCAL PLANT TO
FURNISH POWER
- ■ ' . v
Tuckerman Electricity Probably
Will Be Obtained From the Ark
ansas Light & Power Co.
A deal has been practically con
summa|ted between the Arkansas
Light and Power Company of New
port and the Citizens Light and Pow
er Company of Tuckerman, whereby
the latter city will be furnished pow
er by the Newport plant. Manager
Moss of the Arkansas Light and Pow
er Company says the deal has not yet
been closed, but its consummation
this week is practically assured, he
says.
The Tuckerman company will build
a line to Newport, and the work is to
begin as soon as material can be
placed on the ground.
When asked if the local plant
would have to be additionally equip
ped in order to carry current to
Tuckerman, Mr. Moss told the Inde
pendent that the Tuckerman voltage
would amount to very little and that
the plant at present is amply equip
ped to care for the added load. He
stated the Littleton gin, when rebuilt,
will be operated by steam. The Lit
tleton gin last season was operated
by electricity furnished by the local
plant, in consequence of which ser
vice at times was greatly impaired.
Mr. Moss stated the amount of power
to be consumed by Tuckerman pa
trons would not be nearly so great
as was necessary to operate the Lit
tleton gin.
Mr. Moss at present is w’orking- out
a plan by which the Newport ferry
may be operated electricity. He
hopes to accoi hrough
charging he i wi n elec
tric current.

WILSON CUNNINGHAM WED
DING.
A wedding in which two of our
popular young people were the con
tracting parties, occurred at Tucker
man Thursday evening, when Mr.
Clyde Wilson and Miss Lorena Cun
ningham were united in marriage.
Rev. M. B. Umsted of the Tuckerman
Mlethodist church officiated at the
marriage service. Mr. L. B. Allen
and Miss Nola Young were the only
witnesses to the marriage, the party
driving up in a car in the evening,
where arrangements had been pre
viously made.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are at home
for the present at the Hazel hotel.
He is a valued employe at the Bran
denburg stoi'e and is held in high es
teem by all who know him. He is a
son of Mrs. Angie Wilson, of Sul
phur Rock, one of the most promi
nent families of that section of In
dependence county. His bride is also
a Sulphur Rock girl, and for two or
three years, or more, has been book
keeper at the water and light office
of this city, and is not only a splen
did business young woman, but a
chaming girl in every way. For the
present she will continue her work
at the office. The very best wishes
of their friends are extended them
for a happy and prosperous journey
through life.

CROPS SUFFERING
GREATLY FOR RAIN
IN JACKSON COUNTY.
Crop conditions in Jackson county
and surrounding communities are
very discouraging because of the
failure of rain to fall. Dry weather
has been in progress for a month, and
although light showrs have fallen,
which stimulated the growth of cot
ton, a much needed rain has failed to
develop. Early corn has been great
ly damaged, and the yield of that
product will likely be small. The ef
fects of the drouth are beginning to
tell on late com. Cotton, however, is
still promising.
While many farmers and business
men are becoming discouraged over
the outlook, a rain would greatly re
vive the crops, which would make a
greater yield than probably is be
lieved by many now.
