Storm Fatal in Jefferson County

Pine Bluff, Apr. 25.-The east
ern section of Jefferson county
was visited by a severe wind and
rain storm last night about eight
O'Clock, causing the loss of several
lives and much damage to proper
ty. At Pastoral two persons were
killed and five were injured, one
perhaps fatally. The residence OF
Martin Sanders was destroyed and
Sanders wife had a rib broken
and was injured internally. His
youngest son was struck on the
head by falling timber and his
skull fractured. 1t is though the
boy will die.
The residence of VIM. Smith,
was destroyed and all of the negro
cabins on the place blown down.
On the same place, the residence
of Pleas Thomas was blown down
! and his two boys killed outright.
Others, whose names could not be

Proposed New Township.

The citizens of Magness have
circulated a petition asking for the
creation Of 4 new township from
territory now embodied in Big
Bottom and White River. The
proposed new township embraces
good portion Of the weaIthiest
territory in the two townships from
which it is to be taken. Taking
White river as the southwestern
boundary, the proposed lines run
as follows: Beginning at the in
tiers ection of White river and the
range line between townships four
and five and running north on the
range line to the northeast corner
of section 36 township -, 5-w and
running thence west along the sec
ton line to Ruddell township,
thence south to White river. Ii
the change is effected it will work
serious hardship on both Big
Bottom and White River town
ships, as it only takes off a very
few miles of road, but will deprive
the other townships of a good por-
ton of the road funds, as the ter
ritory taken from White River is
the weaIthiest in the township,
while that taken from Big Bottom
is also very wealthy and pays a
large amount of taxes into the
road fund.
A meeting of the citizens of
Newark was held in the city hall
Monday night to formulate pro
test against the taking of any ter
ritory from Big Bottom, and a pc
tition is also being circulated pro-
testing against the creation of the
new township.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but Some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the. food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

a general exodus Of negroes from the
city. For some time employers did not
get other help, thinking the stream
would flow back. When the absences
stretched into a week then 1t dawned
