A lining of plain black or white, or
black and white, is commonplace. One

FAMILY THOUGHT ID
 HAVE BEEN DROWNED

Thornton Phillips and family, who year or two ago moved from Whorton Creek. Ill this county, to New Mexico, and who a few weeks ago had started 10 return to their old home, are thought to have been drowned in Oklahoma during the recent high waters. Phillips notified rela- tives at Whorton that himself and family would start back over- land to Arkansas about the first of September. Letters written enroute gave knowledge of their having reached Western Okla homa but since then nothing whatever has been learned of their wherea bouts, notwithstand- ing they were expected to arrive at Clarksville, Okla, two weeks ago. Relatives have gone in search of them but up to date on trace can be had of them. A telephone message from J. Alfred Dotson, stepson of Phillips, who now lives at Rogers. states that he has written letters, sent tele- grams and made every inquiry possible to locate the family but has failed. Friends ill this eoun- ty sympathize deeply with the distressed relatives and hope that they may yet find their loved ones unharmed.

WANT TO PAY
 INTEREST IN SCRIPT

Must county bank depository pay in currency or may 1t pay in script, when rendering interest on the county school deposits? Is q question which has come up to the Supreme Court in the case of J. k. Price, county treasurer of Madison county, vs. the Madison County Bank. Price says that the bank bid for the county funds and was awarded their custody on contract to pay 658 per cent interest quarterly. He says tile first installment of interest, amounting to $500, is due on the funds, the larger part of which IS the common school fund appor- toned the county. He insists that the bank refuses to pay this interest. The bank on the other hand admitting most of the alleg- ations denies that it ever intimat- ed that it would pay anything but county script as interest; that 1t has rendered the said amount of county warrants in payments, which have been re- fused. The county court said the bank must pay in currency, but this judgment was reversed by the Circuit court, and now the treasurer appeals to the Supreme Court. .-Bentonville Sun.
