Mr.. VIM. Hart, who lives west
of town, was in to see us last Sat-
urday. Mr.. Hart tells US that he is
not altogether convinced that the
theory that orchards always do
better on the highland is correct.
He says in his orchard this year
he has several trees along the
creek that are loaded with apples,
while some trees on higher
grounds are barren of fruit. He
says it may not be the frost that
is responsible for the lack of fruit
on the upland, but that he has
noticed similar conditions in sew
eral orchards this year.

and Jordan Johnson, also colored,

threatened to throw at Jordan, and
the latter cut "Big Bob" with a
knife. "Big Bob" was under the
influence and was taken to Jail.

fore Squire Rasche and pleaded
guilty to voluntarily fighting.

Quite a number of people we're
here from Des Arc and vicinity
Monday as witnesses in a case in

decided his farm to a couple Of
sons, Chas. and John, and also,
these sons claim, gave them the
personal property amounting to
about $500. A couple of daugh-
ters, Mrs. Rumpbell and Mrs.
Chiffon, want an administration
of the estate, and deny the disposi-
tion of the personal property.
About all of Monday afternoon

Brown-eyed Gertrude Guibor, a
"hello grip of the Bell Telephone
Co., blushed demurely at the SEN
timental conjectures of her com
panions when she resigned her po-
sition. When they went further.
and in anticipation of what they
considered a possible event of the
near future, gave her a linen
shower, she accepted the gifts with
all the sweet confusion of a CIR
who has not yet announced her en-
gagement. Her histrionic talenI
was revealed when it became
known yesterday that she had beer
married since last October to Mr.
Chester w. Brown, an electrician
of 1925 Westminster place. They
eloped to Edwardsville, and sue.
