 Sunday, May the 9th, was the annual Decoration day at Old Sweet Home and I believe from the crowd that was present it will be a day long remembered by all present. The crowd was estimated at four or five hundred. We first had singing in the morning, then preaching, after which came the dinner, a gener- ous supply for all and then some. After dinner we marched to the cemetery and decorated the graves while the class was sing ing. We then marched back to the church, and there being several good leaders from abroad

 diThe young mans folks are we'll known in Prescott and stand we'll in the community in which they live. No one feels like prosecuting him and if he makes good very likely the mat ter will pass without any further trouble.

WORTHLESS CHECKS
 GIVEN MERCHANTS

A young man from Okolona by the name of Stuart came to Prescott Friday morning and went to the New York Store and purchased about $500 worh of goods and gave a check on the Okolona Bank, telling MT. Dick erson the clerk that he had the money in the bank. Mir. Dick erson felt a little doubtful about the matter on account of the actions of the young man and called the bank up and found that he had no money there at all.
 He went out in town and found Stuart and told him that he had found out that he had no money in the bank and demanded the goods and money that he had giv- en him back. The check given by the young man was for twenty live dollars and Dickerson gave him the difference in cash. He had spent some of the money and was compelled to go to MT. Boyd Buchanan whom he knew,

TO THE READERS OF
 THE PICAYUNE

When flour goes up you pay more for a sack or barrel of flour. When meat goes up you pay more for a pound of meat. When dry goods advance you pay the diff ference in the advanced price. And why not? Isn't that good business judgment? When mules go up you ask more for your mule. When horses and cattle take a rise in price you seek the advantage of it. When the printer asks more, we are bound to give it, and when prices on paper go skyward we have to meet that also, and since we first went into the paper busi- ness some ten or twelve years ago, all kinds of paper has ad- vanced but the subscription price of our paper has been the same and to be frank with you all, we are not making anything for our selves and we do not believe and you do not believe that that is common business sense. Most men when they find that they are in a losing business quit that business and engage in something else, but the news paper man hammers on at the same old los ing gate.
 Now to make a long story short we are going to give you a better paper than we have been giving you and we are going to charge you $1.50 per year. We are going to give you twelve pages every week for 52 weeks for $1. 50.
 We trust that you will take a business view of the matter and not think for one minute that we are doing it for the purpose of extortion but it is only a business proposition. We cannot run a paper and give you anything like a readable paper if we do not make money out of it.
 After June the 1st. the Pica- yune will be $1. 50 per year. It will be bigger and better from now on, but the price will not be raised until June the 1st.

SISTER OF PUPIL
 ATTACKS TEACHER
Miss Paralie Crossland Is Roughly Handled by Mrs. Gertrude Peeler, Latter's
 Father Looks On.

Father Looks On.
 You've mistreated my broth CT and now Pm going to fix you for it"
 With this prelude, Mrs. Ger trude Peeler, aged 18,attacked Miss Paralie Crossland,a a teacher in the Riverside school of Ar genta. in front of the residence of Mrs. Peeler's father, w. T. McCuen, 1910 East Washington avenue, Argenta, yesterday afternoon. According to her own statement, Mrs. Peeler threw the school teacher to the ground and slapped her in the face several times. while MT. McCuen stood guard and pre- vented Miss Crossland's con- panion, Miss Lorin Messenger of Little Rock, interfering.
 "Let them have it out" Nc Cuen told Miss Messenger.
 According to the story of two eyewitnesses, Mrs. Peeler's mother, Mrs. McCuen, and Vol mer McCuen also joined in the attack upon the teacher.
 Miss Crossland is small deli cate young women, while her assailant is a robust, extremely healthy looking young person. Unable to defend herself, Miss Crossland cried for help until her assailant finally released her. Aside from the nervous shock, Miss Crossland was uninjured.
 Mrs. Peeler told her side of the affair at her fathers home last night. She declared that during the early part of the present school term her brother, Volmer McCuen, was punished by Miss Crossland because he was not able to recite his arithmetic les son. She said that the teacher pulled the boys ears and struck him over the head with a rule. and that her brother had lately suffered congestion of the brain which the attending physician had declared was caused by the blow on the head.
 Miss Crossland and Miss Mes senger both stated last night that the former was attacked, not alone by Mrs. Peeler, but by Mrs. McCuen and Volmer Me- Cuen as we'll. Miss Crossland denied that she had struck the boy over the head with a rule, but said that she had merely padded" him because of his re- fusal to learn his lesson.
 Principal R. A. Harralson of the Riverside school said that Miss Crossland had complained to him of Volmer McCuen's con- duct and that a short time after the teacher had padded" the boy he had whipped him with a switch.
 Miss Crossland's face was bruised and her lips swollen from the effects of the blows struck her in the face last night. She was deeply mortified over the notoriety forced upon her by the affair and declared that she would prefer no charges against Mrs. Peeler.
 Mrs. Peeler and father were arrested by the police and trial was set for Monday evening.
