first rate. Whatever the crowd says
goes with me as you will all see lat
ex’. So let’s keep trying.

One of the best social functions was
pulled off Friday night at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. William Phillips.
Quite a number of young folks was
present and took part in several pi a vs
and enjoyed themselves splendidly j
until about ten o’clock, when they
were called to attention and were
shown into the dining room, where a
long table was trembling under its
heavy burden of nice fruits of all
kinds—bananas, nuts, candies and
cake. After they had all agreed that
they had done their part to get rid
of the many good things, they re
turned to their amusements again
' )
for another hour. The Island string
band was there to do its part of
the entertaining. Those present will
long remember the hospitality of their
host and hostess. There was only one
who complained of any misery. Now
say, Lonnie, was it actually your side
that pained you ?
The friends of Mrs. Mattie Runyan,
who is at Booneville, Ark., for her

L. E. Thant, I am with you in the
proposed organization of the regular
correspondents. Will do all I can to
help the cause. I was in favor of it
last summer, but it seemed that not
many took much interest in it. Now
let us meet and when we have met
we can do something. Newport is the
place to meet and I am one that will
do my part. So let us put our
thoughts into action.

Jim Thompson has treated himself
to a new buggy.
Bill Manning and wife are spend
ing a few days here on their way to
California, where they plan to make
their home. Suppose Bill wants to be
dh time for the Panama Exposition.
J. W. Lindley has purchased a one
hundred- and-ninety-ton silo to be e
rected in time to make silage of this
year’s corn.
Gardens and orchards were pretty
hard hit by frost, but gardens can be
planted again, and there seems to be
some peaches that are not killed.
Perhaps nearly a half crop will be
made.
England seems to be having trouble
_Tnh« Dull
would do well to get a copy of our
Constitution and study it with the
view of remodeling his form of gov
ernment. However, he and we need
to keep an eye on Rome.
Drs. T. B. Bradford and L. J. Rein
hart, the hook-worm specialists, have
been here several days looking after
the hook-worm cases.
They have made something over
sixty examinations, finding about 16
per cent of infection. Generally
speaking, the people are not taking
the interest in this matter that its
importance demands. The hook
worm has been so long made a mat
ter of jest that it is difficult to have
it considered seriously by the people.
George Lacy is now hammering
iron for Allen Tyer, leaving his farm
ing in the hands of his boys.
R. F. Tyer is also helping in
shop and doinng around generally,
having retired from mercantile busi
ness. Miss Nellie Guiltner is now
taking his place, helping her father
in the store,
J. W. C. Gardner can now be found
almost any day on the range looking
after cattle, or in the garden looking
after frost-biten vegetables.
People generally have corn planted
and now rushing around preparing
to plant cotton. Some speak of com
mencing to plant this week. Think
they might safely postpone until
about the 25th.
Lindley and Brown are doing no
sawmilling now. Say there is no de-,
mand for the out-put and they are
about out of timber available at pres
ent site. May decide to move mill
later on when there is better sale for
stock.
