tional Farmers Union.
Give the agriculturist ample
working capital and you increase
the national stability.
The world is one great corpora
ton of which the farmers are the
largest stockholders.
The farmers can never hope to
become a factor in public affairs
unless they work through organized
channels.
The average farm yields a net
income on the investment of A per
cent, and the average business 10
to 80 per cent
The selfish days of the independ-
ent farmer are rapidly passing and
we are beginning to catch the vis-
ion and share the profits Of organ
lied efforts.
The problem of organizing and
systematizine agriculture is one
in which the farmers invite assist
ance of all lines of industry friendly
to their interests.

his family now snugly domiciled in
his new home here.
A Mr.. Fulenwider and sister Of
,Tonesboro, brother and sister Of
Fatty" Fulenwider of this place
were visiting the latter several
days lately.
No doubt Williford has one of the
best Sunday schools in the county,
The absence of a teacher is a rare
happening and the house is well
filled every Sunday.
10. Wasson, who recently sold
the News to Jewel Cope, has pur-
chased controlling interest in the
Bald Knob Eagle, and has moved

Monday. Those chosen were: H. T.
Wilkinson, Mayor; G. H. Myers, Re-
corder; Ben N. Yates, j. M. Harrell,
Tom Grimes, j. E. Goode and H. B.
Garner, Aldermen.
The dull thud of the engines, the
churn of steam and air drills,
mingled with the occasional sound
of the giant whistle and the deafen-
ing roar Of exploding powder and
dynamite, tell the people that the
great rock crushing establishment
here is no longer a dream, but an
actual reality.
It is understood that Rev. Mr..
Ashley of Thayer, NO., will begin a
series of meetings at the Methodist
church Monday night. We do not
know what denomination he repre-
sents, neither do we care. If he
can advance a thought worth the
while, people of all denominations
should attend his meetings.
Tuesday night a meeting of the
patrons of school district No. 39
was held for the purpose of COM
pleting plans for the creation of a
special district, to embrace such
outside territory as may be deemed
advisable, and to plan for the is
suance of bonds to build a school
house that will be in keeping with
the progressiveness of our citizens.
A bill for these purposes will be
launched in the legislature by the
county's representatives.

1t is reported from Cross Roads,
about six miles from this place in
Fulton county, that twenty-seven
dogs have lost their lives in that
section very recently. 1t is also re-
ported that a good deal of petty
stealing has been going on in that
section, and by putting two and two
together, we guess that one fact has
some connection with the other in
this instance.
The two-year-old baby of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tom Collins, who live several
miles north of this place, was very
painfully and dangerously burned
recently. The little fellow was
playing with m at C h, which
became ignited and set fire to the
child's clothing. The result was
some very bad burns before the
flames were extineuished by men,

place has been treating the patient,
whom he reports on the road to
recovery.
Miss Jane Bigeers died at her
home here Thursday morning of last
week at the advanced age of a little
more than 80 years. She was a
native of Tennessee, but had lived
in this section since 1861. The
burial occurred at the old Baptist
cemetery, services at the grave be-
ing conducted by Rev. Swift AnJer-
son, pastor of the M. E. Church
South, of which organization Aunt
Jane" had been a faithful member
for rs years. Aunt Jane" was
much loved by the people of this
community, and her death was re-
eretted by all. She had had many
interesting experiences, which the
younger generation especially found
very interesting, She first lived in
this country a few miles west of
Evening Shade, and during the
war, in company with four other
ladies, Mary Moody, Adeline and
Eliza Moser, and Rebecca Vanzant,
and two small boys, whose names
we believe were Birchfeld and
Douthit, she made a trip to Ironton,
Mo-, after salt, which was a very
scarce article at that time The
trip was made in wagons drawn by
oxen, When the party was near
Ing home on the return trip they
met a band of jayhawers who tried
to rob these women Of their precious
salt, but I hey were repulsed
through the efforts Of the women
under the leadership Of Aunt Jane"
who acted as general Of the party.
Aunt Jane" was a noble character,
and we shall miss her sadly.

Ash Flat
Our farmers are shaping up for
another crop. A good many have
already begun to turn their land.
G. E. Oyler, one of our oldest and
best citizens, has been on the sick
list during the week, but is now

at making a crop this season.
W. H. Clark and family, until re-
Gently residents Of Ash Flat, have

One day last week some unknown
movers camped at the ford of Big
Creek on the road to Evening Shade,
where a new son was born into the
family
Rev. Swift Anderson has been in
very poor health lately He is
suffering from kidney trouble, but
we believe h e is reported some
better at this time.
So far the winter has been a hard
one, and if there is anything in the
saying that good crops follow a hard
winter we may look for a bumper
harvest next fall. We hope it may
he.
Rev. George Rogers, one of the
county's best citizens, was here
from Davidson township one day
lately visiting the family of his son,
j. E, Rogers, and meeting his many
friends.
A great deal of feedstnff is being
shipped into this section now, and
the great scramble seems to be to
get hold of enough money to secure
feed sufficient to insure the making
of another crop.
An unknown party entered the
smokehouse of E. W. Goodwin, few
miles from town, one night lately
and helped himself to some meat,
which necessitated the slaughter of
more hogs by Mr., Goodwin.

SOME NEWS OF THE

Plenty Of Grist Is Pouring
In, But No Important Bills
Are Passed Yet.

Representative Wallace of Pope
county is the author Of a resolution
proposing an amendment to the
constitution that would abolish the
office of district prosecuting attor-
ney and providing that each county
elect a prosecuting attorney.
One of the representatives intro
duced a resolution a few days ago
which provided that members of
the house should receive pay only
for such time as they were in act
ual attendance at the sessions. The
resolution was quickly killed.
Both houses have voted to repeal
the law which made it a misde-
meanor to fish in Nevada county
otherwise than with hook and line.
Three hundred citizens of Nevada
county were under indictment for
seining fish, and the repeal of the
old law relieves them.
Representative Dowdy of Inde-
pendence introduced resolution
to prohibit so much local legisla-
ton, but the resolution was defeat
ed. Representative Gray, also of
Independence, said 1T makes me
mad when some one is all the time
bobbing up and trying to throttle
the will of the people"
Representative Miller of White
county has introduced a bill abol-
ishing the present road system in
his county and providing for COM
mission of three members who are
to award road work by competitive

er believes this is the best way to

A bill placing Stone county in a
tick eradication district is before
the legislature, which makes the
following dispatch from Mountain
View of interest: Stone county is
all torn up over the tick eradication
question. Petitions both for and
against eradication are being circu-
lated to be presented to the coun-
tvs representatives in the legisla-
ture."
On Monday Gov. Hays sent a
special message to the legislature
withdrawing the recommendation
made in his first message that the
liquor question be submitted to a
vote of the people and asked for
the passage Of a statewide prohibi-
ton bill. From every test vote
yet taken it seems certain that
those who favor statewide prohibi-
ton have a majority in both the
senate and house.
Caldwell & Drake, contractors
for the new state capitol who were
discharged through the influence of
Geo. W. Donaehey, claim the state
yet owes them about $268,O00 for
work done on the building, and the
general assembly is being asked for
