Mr. and Mrs; John W. Stayton
entertained the members of the
Epworth League of the Metho
dist church at their home on
Walnut street Tuesday evening.
The entertainment was the re
sult of a contest for new mem
bers started several weeks ago.
One side, the Reds, headed by
Miss Jamie Irby as captain and
Miss Mabel Stayton as captain
of the Blues, the losing side to
entertain the winners at the

many new members were added
to the League roll and great
good has been accomplished.
Mr. and Mrs. Stayton tendered
their home to the Blues, who
with the assistance of Miss
Stayton planned a delightful ev
ening of pleasure to the large
number present. Cake and
cream were served, the entire
affair being thoroughly enjoyed
by all.
Endorse Superintendent’s Course
Tuckerman, Ark.,
April 25, 1913.
Inasmuch as the Tuckerman
School Board, some time since
passed a resolution prohibiting
match games of base ball on the
and then thereafter agreed with
the teachers that they might
play match games provided none
but students wmuld be permitted
to take part in such games, the
president of the board informed
the principal he would hold him
personally responsible if others
but students were allowed to
participate in games,
And, whereas the principal,
E. R. Williamson, has been se
verely and unjustly criticised for
the stand he took in reference to
the game of ball played on said
ground on 18th inst.
Therefore be it resolved:
That we,, the members of the
Tuckerman School Board fully
indorse and approve the action
of Prof. E. R. Williamson in this
matter.
Unanimously adopted.

water on her.
The woman was badly injured.
The Williamson woman was ar

Stamps Out Meningitis.
Harrisburg, April 29.—Dr. M.
S. Alexander of Weiner, who has
had charge of the meningitis
situation at Deckerville, came
out Monday on his way home,
having stamped out the disease
and left, with no fear of further
cases. He vaccinated about 600
people for that dreaded disease
and only one who Had been vac
cinated had the disease, and
that person had been vaccinated
only one time, and the patient is
getting well. Dr- Alexander had
six cases of meningitis there,
and lost only one case, a record
that is unprecedente<i with that
disease.

Robbed While Asleep.
Little Rock. April 30.—Awak
ened from a sound sleep at about
2 o’clock Sunday morning by
feeling a touch on his arm, W.
L. Craig, 714 East Capitol av
enue, got up and turned on the
light just in time to see a man’s
arm as he quickly passed
through a curtained door into
another room, but found the in
truder had left the house by a
side window.
Later when Mr. Craig made an
investigation he found that his
clothing had been rifled of $15
in money and a watch valued at
about $50. Mr. Craige says the
burglar was trying to search
beneath his pillow when he
touched him on the arm. Mr
Craig called the police. Patrol
man John McDonald reached the
house in a few minutes and
made a thorough search for the
thief, but he had made his es
cape.
Few Negro Notaries.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 30.—Ne
groes in Arkansas who hold com
missions of notary public are as
scarce as pardons nowadays. In
a few of the larger cities the
county officials will receive and
record commissions issued to
Completes Guard Inspection
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 30.—Captain
Lewis, r. S. A., who is assigned
to the Arkansas National Guard,
having completed the inspection
of the guard and the headquar
ters, has forwarded his report to
the War Department. It is prob
able that in a short time a copy
will be sent to Governor Futrell,
together with all recommenda
tions made by t In* inspect ing of
ficer. It is supposed that Capt.
Lewis censured some compan
ies and praised others, so that the
standing will remain about the &
same as previous years. The of
ficer is reported to have spoken
a good word for the guard in Ar
kansas, and advocated its re
tention, even though the legisla
ture failed to make appropria
tion for its maintenance.
Bryan Grape-Juice Banquet
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 30.—A Bry
an grape-juice banquet will be
served for the Arkansas editors
who attend the press meeting in
Memphis, May 15, following the

pageant at Warner park. Air-1

Fumigated Postoffice.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 30.—Pat
rons calling at the Little Rock
postoffice Sunday afternoon
walked into the corridor and
turned around and walked right
out again, and it was a hurried
exit at that. The aforesaid
patron came out coughing and
sneezing, with tears in his eyes, |
willing to testify someone had
turned loose a lot of snuff in
the corridors.
It was merely agents of the
government fumigating the pos
tal departments in order that
all disease germs might be anni
hilated. This is the first regu
lar fumigation of the postoffice
and the officials who came to
show how it is done, will start
other postoffices of the state in
the same direction.

xur m. IjUuis.
When the Arkansas Wheels
excursionists hit Memphuk h year
or so ago, they were banqueted
and elaborate preparations y^e
made for the occasion. FOTk m,-.
mented grape juice was a por-^VS%
tion of the menu, and when the ^
statewiders in the party heard %
of it, their hands went up in holy
horror. The business men of
Memphis made a quick turn and
trotted out red lemonade until
all were satisfied as if they had
been to a circus.
Knowing the tendency of Ar
kansas editors toward statewide
prohibition, the business men of
Memphis decided not to tempt
fate twice in the same manner,
so this year took the precaution
to write ahead and find out how
the party would stand on wine
as a portion of the feast.
Secretary Earle W. Hodges has
written to those preparing the
big feed, suggesting that grape
juice, which has become a na
tion’s drink since the Bryan din
ner, was sufficiently strong for
the Arkansans.

i
negroes, out in eastern arKan
sas a negro is throwing away
the $5 he must pay to have a
commission issued by the secre
tary of state, by making applica
tion for one.
A negro in Crittenden county
sometime ago applied for a com
mission as notary and it was is
sued, but the county-clerk re
fused to record it, so the com
mission was returned to the
governor with a request that the
fee be returned. The only way
this can be returned is by leg
islative act, and there is as much
chance for such an act to be pass
ed as there is for the negro to
be elected governor.
Several days ago a negro in
Conway county, where a large
number of white citizens had
petitioned for it, was appointed
a notary, but the clerk refused
to record the commission and
he, too, wanted his money back
but there was nothing doing.
