sympathetic neighbors had packed a
basket of food and given them to eat

The family is the one which the Re-
porter referred to in Saturdayl's edi-

neighbors have done much. In fact to
the kind services and charity of Mrs. j..

debted. Had it not have been for them
hey would have suffered severely.

wife and child's Way. If the husband
desires to get to Arkansas he can work
and earn money sufficient to carry him
