WOMEN ASKED TO REGISTER.
The members of the W. C. T. U. are
tly requested to “Register.”
an organization we have never
Sn slackers in responding to any
appeal for service to'home and coun
try, so in this crisis, mors than aver
before, let as be prompt.
It may be that some of us cannot
easily determine the specific service
wd are best fitted to render, but of
one thing we may be assured, that in
the days ahead of us, the days so
swiftly hastening on, there will come
many, many calls, many opportunities
for each one of us, not merely to “do
her bit,” but to do her level best, her
very utmost.
Let us then by registering, declare
that we are ready.

METHODISTS PLAN TO
BUILD TABERNACLE
AT CAMP PIKE.
Little Rock, February 20.— War
work, educational interests and a
revival campaign were discussed
yesterday at a conference of pre
siding elders from the Little Rock
and North Arkansas conferences with
Bishop E. D. Mouzon of the South
ern Methodist church held at the
First Methodist church, Eighth and
Center streets. A petition signed by
all the presiding elders present was
pent to the governor requesting him
to issue a proclamation urging sher- j
iffs and other officials to use greater
diligence in enforcing the law.
Bishop Mouzon urged the building
of a tabernacle near the camp and
that one of the strongest men in the
church be placed in charge of the
work. He warned against sending
out “sad bird” preachers to address
the men, as they would not be able to
“put anything across.”

son township farmer, was mixing and

nation. He preached at the Mhteodist

Prof. G. E. Land, of Barren town
ship, and who is teaching near

schools and has many friends here
who are energetic in his support;.
R. E. Warden, of Little Rock, who

met the commissioners and board of
assessors for road district No. 4 and
submitted some proposals relative to
the railroads’ interests in said im
provement district.
Mrs. J. M. Majors, who has been
very ill at her home just south of
town, is still confined to her bed. She

h«id been anticipated by her many
friends.
John Churchman, who resided in
Jackson county many years, but
whose home is now in Hope, came up
last week to visit his mother and
other relatives in and around Tuck
eiman. He was injured several weeks
ago by a fall from the cab of a rail
way engine and had to go to a hospit
al for treatment. He has to use
crutches .to get about now and sev
eral months will probably elapse be
fore he recovers entirely.
The first quarterly conference for
the local Methodist church was held
by Presiding Elder Wilford last Fri
day evening. The financial report
showed all claims paid in full to date
and the prospects are that they will
be met fully every month of the con
ference year.
Rev. W. A. Mnk, of Newport, can
didate for county judge, was here
last Saturday trying to convince the
voters how necessary it is that he be
elected. With two favorite township
citizens aspiring for the same office
will make it difficult for other candi
dates for that office to make much
headway in the township.
Judge Lewis, county judge of Clay
county, announced in advance that he
would preach at the local Baptist
church last Friday night. Because of
Train No. _3 being late h edid not ar
rive here in time to conduct the ser
vice. He came however, and remain
ed over night and went to Little Rock

Elgin Notes.
J. F. Roy, wife and mother mo
tored down to Newport Saturday to
do some shopping.
The stork dropped In at Mr. and
Mrs. James Biggers’ on the 16th and
left a big fine boy.
Joe Hohn and wife went to New
port Thursday to do some shopping.
Thomas Roy is getting along very
nicely.
The way the farmers are gather
ing and hauling cotton to the gin
makes one think that fall is here
again.
Prof. A. C. Gist and wife went to
Little Rock Friday to see his brother,
who is sick in a hospital.
E. E. Herndon’s father is down
from Heber Springs spending a few

As we have no preacher for Ken
yon circuit we will give a few names j
who preached here 32 years ago:
S. V. FSans, 1886; E. M. Davis,
i?88; W. D. Ellis, 1891; E. A. Horn,'
1917. Wa trust that they will send a i
maa soon to this work.
The writer was approached a few
days ago With a petition for the Stock
law, which we did not sign because
there are thousands of acres in Black
River bottom that would just grow j
up in brush and cane if the stock law i
passes, and would force us and many i
others te sell their stock. Wh"' ? Be
cause our land won’t grow clover or I
timothy, nor alfalfa—just Whippoor
will peas is all it will grow. Do you
think it is right for those who live in
Tuckerman and Newport—those who
own a house and lot, to sign the pe
tition? We do* not, why don’t you? j
They are not farmers and do not;
know what is best for the farmer.'
Furthermore, the wire worm has
about gotten this old sand land and
it takes all we can raise to feed
them through the winter, much less j
all the year. Major. ■

BY JULY 1,1918, a shortage in all the best lines of
automobiles is predicted by manufacturers. This
is a sufficient reason for your early purchase of a con
templated car—and by . postponing a purchase, you
take the risk of paying further price raises, for auto- ,
mobile advances have been small compared with price
| raises in most every other line.
You are invited to visit our new garage, comer of Second j
# and Beech Streets, and see our new lines. There are none
better in their field and price class. We have on display: ,
Dodge Brothers Sedan Buick Touring Cars

We have another Dodge Brothers commercial car en
route. The demand from the government for this car
has been so great that dealers could hardly be supplied.
