SHOULD ASK FOR
MORNING TRAIN
Railroad Should Re-Instate
Morning Train to Make Bet
ter Connections at Newport.

When the morning Hot
Shot" from Batesville to New
port was discontinued some time
ago railroad officials agreed
that if passenger train No. %
should be re-instated on the
main line, the morning "Hot
Shot" would be re-instated also,
SO as to give the people of the
White River road the same ser
vice they had before 20 was
discontinued. No. 20 has been
re-instated on the main line and
has been in service for several
days but we hear nothing of
the morning Hot Shot" being
put into service again. The peo-
pie of the White River road are
entitled to better service than
they are getting and they
should ask the railroad commits
sion to have the train re-instat-
ed.

attacked by one ofthe men with
a large pocket knife. Immedi-
ately afterwards he notified
neghbors and led them to the
spot where the body was found

WEEAT ACREAGE
LARGELY INCREASED
Farmers Busy Sowing Grain
And Reports Indicate Acre
age Will be Doubled.

The farmers are making good
use of this fine weather sowing
wheat. The acreage of wheatin
this community was greater the
past season than it has been in
many years, and is being in
creased this season. From ailre-
ports, the acreage now being
planted in wAst will be doub-
lie that of the past season. Sew
eral farmers are planting as
much as 100 acres, and there is
scarcely a farmer in Big Bot
tom that will not grow as much
as 10 to % acres of wheat the
coming season.
At least 10000 bushels of
wheat was grown in this inn
mediate vicinity the past season
and it is estimated that with a
favorable season the yield for
the coming year will be atleast
$4,000 or rs, 1000 bushels.
Wheat was the most profit
able crop grown in this section
this year and the farmers are
encouraged to gov more Of it
for the coming year because it
can be converted into cash at a
price several months before
the cotton crop is ready for
market.

The equipment at the present time
consists of fourteen acres of land, two
dormitories and two cottages which af-
ford room for about one hundred
boarding pupils, fifty boys and fifty

modern in plan and equipment At
present there is need of funds for car
rying on the work.
The faculty is composed of two men
and six women, all of whom are college
| trained, consecrated Christian workers.
The principal who has been connected
with the school for six years is grad

YORK COUNTY FEEDING ITSELF

(Yorkville Is Co. Enquirer)
If this county was now in the con-

Yorkville some ten years ago." said Mr..
Henry James, the well-known stock
dealer of Yorkville, to the reporter j
few days ago, "this war business in
Europe would have given us a great
deal more trouble than have seen
threatened up to this time. For sever
al years after ! came here" he con-
tinued, practically every bit of stock
feed bought came from the West.
There was very little to be had in this
county except here and there a few
loads of hay and now and then a few
bushels of corn or oats during the fall
1onths. But during the past few years
] have been more and more able to get
everything needed of the Tome mar
ket, and since last year I -" bought
nothing in the grain line worth men
tioning from the West. This year the
people have stock feed. Go grass,
prairie, clover and alfalLa hay IN
abundance, and also more corn and
oats than have ever known. We are
certainly improving along those lines. a
