nine-pound boy. This is their second
child, the other being little girl, now
nearly two years old. Mr.. Larkin is a
son of Mr.. J. A. Larkin and was for a
number of years resident of Benton.
Mr.. j. J. Stockwell, who spent the
past several months here with his sister,
Mrs. Alice Belcher, left Tuesday for
Shreveport, where he will visit his son,
Mr.. fairfield Stockwell, and other rela-
tives. He was undecided where he would
go from that place, but does not expect

There has been much complaint here
about the present ginning facilities O.
the town. The one plant is owned ant
operated by the East ST. Louis Cottor
Oil Company, and only those who bar
gain to sell seed to them can get thei
cotton ginned prompt. Monday even
ing Mr.. w. l.. Adger, an old resident
reported that last week his wagons wer'
kept waiting two days. Such incon
veniences are objectionable and ais
work a pecuniary loss to the owners o
cotton. Earlier in the season had it beef
known that such condition would result
there would now be another plant opera
ing here. Even now such move is I'm
der consideration by one of our leading
citizens.
Mr.. J. NJ. Henderson of Plain Deal
ing, the newly elected Secretary for tn
