That Back Yard

Now is a good time to take a look
and glance carefully over that back
yard and devise some means or plan
to ostracise the fruit cans and rub
bish which have been accommodating
since the last installment was re-
moved. You can generally Judge of
the occupants of house by the
condition in which the froutp aud
back yards are kept. In gs..eraI
sense we all pride ourselves on being
cleanly and tidy. Home and its
surroundings above all places in the
world should be scrupulously guard
ed against communicating influences.

Chances are that the town of
Reyno is at an early date to have a
cotton oil mill. We are informed
that three companies have recently
had representatives at this place
looking over the situation relative
to taking active steps. From what
information we have we believe that
we feel safe in making the assertion
that the town will get cotton mill
beyond a doubt. 1t is decidedly
the best location between Poplar
Bluff and Walnut Ridge owing to
the fact that we have two cotton
gins here now, one to begin con-
struction IN the course of week
and another one contemplated /.
This will make another boost for
the town. The land will be donat-
ed by the people here for the cot
ton oil mill.
J. M. Smith Of Success, the cot
ton king of this section, was in
Reyno the latter part of last week.
1t is given out on good authority
that Mr.. Smith will open a general
store here at an early date and if he
does not lease the farmers gin mill,
will erect one himself. Mr.. Smith
has decided to go into business at
this place and all Reyho will well
come him, as he is hustler and
makes things go.
A good one happened to a mer-
chant last Tuesday while the Star
Herald man was waiting around
Reyno to learn some news. lie

intelligent people ought to do,

asking your customers to carry your
sign around with each purchase of
goods, go and tell the peop | e
through the paper what you have
to sell and how you sell it. at Is
needless to say that this merchant
was very much embarrassed and no
doubt he will follow the advice thus
given.
d. Blackburn, of south of town,
bought another piece of real estate
Monday from Eli Jackson. There
is a common saying in this section,
coined, we understand by Mr..
Blackburn, "that any price is not
too high for land in Cherokee Bay,
if fellow has the dough to pay
for it," and we believe he has the
right idea about dirt, as we'll as
Alfalfa, fine stock and up-to-date

Should J. M. Smith of Success
decide to erect a new cotton GIN
at this place instead of taking the
Farmers Union gin, it does not
signify that gin will be idle this
year as several other parties want
to lease it, among them being j. A.
Crissman of Maynard. There will
be enough cotton in this section to
keep all four gins busy and it Will
benefit the town much more if all
are in operation at one time.
Work on the Randolph county
end of the Murray's creek ditch will
be commenced at very early date,
in fact just as soon as the high
water recedes. Work has already
been commenced on the Clay coun-
ty end and it will not be long be-
fore the ditch will be completed.
This ditch will be very beneficial
to this county as well as Clay
and will increase the value of prop
erty all along the route.
A civil engineer of the Frisco sys-
tenn was at Reyno recently and made
a survey of the plot of ground for
the side track for j. M. Hawks

work will he commenced at a very
early date on the construction of the
gin and will be rushed as rapidly as
possible to completion. J. W. Alb
bott has the contract for the cree.
tion of the buildings.

Modern construction in Reyno is
having its effect on insurance rates,
and the buildings recently erected
and those now under constructio n
which are as near fire proof as the
present day contractors can build
are getting the lowest rates. The
contents of the buildings have
great deal to do in governing the
rates, but the less there is in the
structure to burn the better is the
rate made by the insurance compan-
les. The modern building which
secures the best rates is constructed
of brick or stone. concrete and
metal, there being practically no
wood or framework to burn.

BOY SCOUT PLAN To
Be TAKEN UP IN GARY
Bow Lovers Interest Them
selves In Plan Which
Will Do Great Good.

The Boy Scout Movement which
has met with such success in other
American cities and which has grown
into a national movement in Great
Britain will be started in Gary in the
near future.
Those already interested in the mat
ter for the boys are DR.. P. johnson,
Netherton and John MacFariane. DR..
ohnson is an expert in boyology and
has a large experience with them both
socially and in athletics. Every boy in
the city knows Mr.. Netherton as the
physical director of the city shoots. 1t
is not yet decided whether Mr.. Neither
ton will be enabled to give the matter
very activt-fnterest owing to his varied
duties but he will encourage the move
ment and advise if he feels that he
cannot spare the time to lead it.
Those Gary boys who have been ap-
preached concerning the movement are
! tremendously attracted and it is more
than certain that the Boy Scouts will
have large membership in Gary.
In Chicago where the movement has
the endorsement and active support of
General Grant commanding the United
states troops in that district. the Scouts
have already attained to a boy large
membership.
Experience has shown that boys who
Join the Scouts are very easily induced
to higher ideals and that their physical
requirement have been met In way
