YOCUM CANNING FACTORY.
Company Duly Organized and Incorporated for Business.


 Yocum is to have a canning factory. All the necessary de- tails have been arranged for the establishment of the enterprise and the plant will surely be put in in time to take care of a crop to be raised the coming season.
 The scheme is well financed, being backed by men who are able to push it to success. The company is composed of c. w. O'Neal, of Republic, Mo-, a man of both means and much exper- fence in the canning factory business; w. J. O'Neal, d staunch farmer and land owner near Yocum; J. L. and T. c. Rhodes, the well-known millers, and H. Ownbey, the Yocum mer- chant.
 These gentleman met in Green Forest Monday and had the necessary articles of incorpora- tion drawn up for the formation of the company. The authorized capital stock is S2,000 half of which is paid up to begin with. H. Ownbey was made president of the company, J. l.. Rhodes secretary and treasurer, and H. Ownuey, T. c. Rhodes and w. J. O'Neal constitute the board of directors.
 The plant will be operated by the steam power of the Yocum Roller Mill Co. The building will be put up g short distance east of the roller mill. The plant will have a capacity of 10000 per day but the company will not undertake to operate it to the full measure the first season. The growing of 100 acres of tomatoes has already been contracted for and everything bids fair to make the new enterprise a great success.
 The putting in of canning factory at Yocum is a good big thing for this section of the country, a fine thing for Green Forest, in fact. This will be the shipping and receiving point and many dollars that are brought into the country by it will surely find their way into the hands of our merchants. It will be stimu- lating to Mir. Reeves business for the reason that it helps to de- velop the country upon the same line. The only possible conflict of interests that can 1 come is in the matter of laborers and this is not a serious problem for money will generally find will ing hands to work, even if the community does not afford all the help needed.
 We congratulate our good friends at Yocum upon the mani- festation of their enterprise and capability of knowing a good thing when they see it.
