DOES THIS MEAN 5 EGGS?

An egg that is something of a freak was left at The Journal of flee a few days ago by Woods Ar hold. Near one end of the egg is a large raised place in the shell re- sembling the commercial dollar mark, "$." The Journal prophet has carefully examined the egg but has been unable to decide whether the phenomenon portends a famine or whether it merely means another rise in the price of hen fruit. At any rate the $stands out plain and distinct, and 1t is barely possible that the old hen had eaten too much beefsteak and potatoes and this expensive diet left the impress of its cost upon the egg.

JOE KENNARD FOR CLERK

J. A. Kennard of Batesville an nounces in today's paper as a can didate for county clerk.
 For the past three years MT. Kennard has served as deputy county clerk and the courteous and accommodating manner in which he has so we'll and faithful ly served the people who have had business dealings with him has won for him the warm personal friendship of large portion of the citizens of the county.
 His clerical qualifications are of the very best and there is probab- ly not man in the county who is better prepared to discharge the duties of the office than MT. Ken nard. His three years experience in the office specially fits him to take charge of the office and con- tinue the work in a manner satis- factory to the people and without the delay and inconvenience to the public that necessarily follows when men unacquainted with heavy clerical work are elected to positions of this kind.
 MT. Kennard is a native of h. dependence county and as a good citizen and man of high moral character and integrity no man stands higher among those who know him best.
 The Journal feels no hesitancy in saying that if elected clerk, MT. Kennard will render the people of the county such service as will be entirely satisfactory and above criticism.

WIN PREMIUMS
 AT STATE FAIR
Excellent Showing of Independence County Products at Fair Gives
 Our County Big Boost

Independence county products won a number of prizes at the re- cent State Fair at Hot Springs. These prizes were won apparently without effort, and if our people would get busy and put some real interest into the matter they could win a large number of the best prizes at the State Fair every year and incidentally place Indepen- dence county in a most favorable light before the world.
 This is the first year Indepen- dence county has ever had any ex hibits of any consequence at the State Fair, and among the prizes won are the following:
 W. J. Waldrip of Magness, first and second prizes on Dutch Belted cattle, and second prize on alfalfa.
 c. NJ. Fields of Newark, second prize on orchard grass.
 J. M. Sutton, second prize on soy beans.
 w. A. Sexton, second prize on Black Ben Davis apples. and first prize on Shockley apples.
 J. A. Lancaster of Salado, second prize on Honduras rice.
 The girls canning club of the I. o. o. F. Home, of Batesville, won first prize in the Girls Can hing Club Contest.
 This is a fine showing to be made with practically no effort, and is conclusivesproof that Inde- pendence county products rank with the very best in the entire state.

COUNCIL HOLDS
 BUSY SESSION
Pass the Stock Law and Elect J. W. Holland as Marshal to Succeed
 L. M. Gray, Resigned

The town council held a very busy session Monday night and disposed of a number of impor. tant matters.
 An amendement to the stock law, prohibiting cattle running at large, came up for final passage, and after a lively skirmish includ- ing quite an interesting speech by Alderman J. w. Henderson against the bill, 1t was read the third time and passed by vote of three to two. Moore, Magness and Craig voted aye, and Fields and Tender son voted no.
 City Marshal L. M. Gray, who has been in bad health for some time, rendered his resignation, and J. w. Holland was elected to fill the vacancy.
 City Health Officer Dr. s. A. Drennen made a brief report of work done by him and asked for more specific instructions as whether or not the council desired s.ne enforcement of the new health laws. He was instructed to pro- ceed with the enforcement of the law, and the council allowed him SIS per month for his services.
 The marshals report showed a total of SIS in fines and license collected during 1.-the month of October.
 A request was made for an amendment to the Curfew law, making 1t effective at 2 p. m. dur ing the winter and at 8 p. m. dur ing the summer months. The or dinance committee was requested to prepare an ordinance to this ef- feet and present it at the next meeting of the council. The com mittee was also requested to pre- pare an ordinance making 1t a misdemeanor for property owners to permit Canadian thistles to grow upon their premises.

RICE WINS PRIZE

Independence county rice, grown near Salado by J. A. Kan. easter, won second prize at the Arkansas State Fair at Hot Springs last week.
 There was rice on display from Arkansas, Craighead, Lonoke, Lawrence and Poinsett counties, and the fact that rice grown in Independence county won second prize, is pretty good evidence that Independence county soil is well adapted to the growth of rice.
