AUTO LICENSE TAX
MUST Be PAID NOW
Penalty OF Three Dollars Will Be
Attached After January 10 Il
County Clerk Has Book. q

County Clerk Guss H. Powell calls
attention to the fact that owners OF
automobiles must pay the state tax
of ten dollars between now and Jan.
10, otherwise penalty of three dol
lars will be added. 1t is the business
of the tax collector to receive the
auto license tax, but on account of
his absence from the county seat, he
has turned the book over to the
county clerk and requested him to
receive the auto tax and issue re-
ceipts for same. Under the law it
is the duty of the owner of an auto
mobile to pay the tax to the collec-
tor, taking his receipt for such pay
ment. The receipt must be sent to
the highway department who will
send to the owner two automobile
tags, one of which must be placed on
the front part of the automobile and
the other on the rear.
The city attorney of Paragould is
preparing a traffic ordinance con-
tanning this provision in conformity
to the state law. Owners of automo-
biles who fail to display the front
and rear numbers are now subject to
fine of not more than twenty-five
dollars under the provisions of the
state law. The city ordinance will
embody this provision as well as
other necessary regulations outlined
in the state law

NEW OFFICERS CHOSEN
FOR MEDICAL SOCIETY
DIR. G. L. Hopkins Heads County Or.
Ganization of PhySicians-Dr.
1 Scott Is Secretary.
(From Thursdays Daily Press)

At the regular monthly meeting
of the Greene County Medical So
ciety held in this city yesterday, Of
ficers were chosen for the new year
as follows:
DR.. G.. T. Hopkins, president; DR..
r. J. Haley, DR.. J. G. Mckenzie and
DR.. Geo. Bridges, vice presidents;
DR.. F. NJ Scott, secretary-treasurer
There is perhaps no county medi-
cal organization in the state that is
more active than the Greene county
Isociety. It's mem mbership embraces
nearly every physician in the coun-
ty, and at the monthly meetings
questions of vital Importance to the
medical profession are discussed.
Regular programs are assigned in
advance and subjects are assigned to
the members, to be discussed in a
general way after having been pre-
|sented by those charged with giving
special preparation to the questions.
At the meeting yesterday the So
|ciety decided to discontinue the prac-
tice of doing the county practice at
the poor farm. Heretofore the So
#ciety as an organization has made
contracts with the county to do this
practice for ten dollars a month
The work was then divided among
the local members of the body, and
the amount paid by the county was
placed into a fund for the mainten-
ance of the society. When the new
health law went into effect it be-
came the duty of the county health
officer to do the county practice, but
because the medical society had &
contract with the county it's men,
bers continued to do the work, the
ten dollars each month being deduct
ed from the salary of forty dollars
aer month paid by the county to the
health officer.
The society decided yesterday Il.
was proper that the health officer do
this practice and that he should re-
ceive the ten dollars for his services,
and in consequence DR.. E. S. Ba-
ker, the county health officer, will in
the future have the medical care of
the inmates at the poor farm

(From Thursdays Daily Press)
Deputy Sheriff Lem Waldrum who

stance of the message that had been

OF RANDOLPH
COUNTY NEEDS HELP
Human Beings and Live Stock Suffer
as Result of DrOuth in Hill
Portion.

Pocahontas, Jan. ct will be a
surprise to the public to know that
Randolph county, that portion of the
state that has been so blessed by ma
ture in the past, will be compelled to
make call to the public for help for
la part of her citizens.
Following the withering drouth of
the past year, want is now the por-
ton of the lives of many of her peo-
pie and a public call was made for a
meeting at the court house in this
city Saturday in order to devise some
plans whereby relief may be obtain
ed.
The court house was crowded with
citizens from the stricken parts of
the county. Prof. Luther Johnson
was made chairman of the meeting.
This was probably the first meet
ing of the kind in the history of Ran
dolph county.
Following the killing drouth Of
1901, while those in the hilly parts
of the county were driven to the
strictest economy, yet Randolph
was able to care for her own and
none thought of asking for outside
help.
Reports made at the meeting Sat-
urday from the west and northwest,
being the hills of the county show a
deplorable condition. Stock is dy-
| ing for want of food and unless as
sistance is given soon, human beings
will suffer Committees were APP
pointed to devise proper steps to
take to secure assistance, and Sec
ond meeting was called for this place
Ito meet two weeks hence, at which
time an extraordinarily large crowd

PRESS NEWS ITEM MAY |
FIND HER RELATIVES
Mrs. j. o. Langdon of This City In
terested in Motion Picture
Story Printed Monday.

In Mondays issue of The Daily
Press appeared a story of how two
brothers who had been separated for
fifteen years were brought together
by a farm scene at motion picture
show, the scene being of Missis-
sippi plantation which the two men
recognized as their boyhood home.
Neither knew the other was present
at the show, but they met at the old
home on Christmas day. Mrs. Joe
Langdon of this city, whose maiden
name was Masellette Rhodes, be-
lieves the two men who featured in
the story are related to her, and
she has written to Benjamin +.
Rhodes of Danville, Pa, to find out
if he is a relative.
Mrs. Langdon's parents moved
from near Natchez, Miss, and locat-
ed in Clay county, Ark. Mrs. Lang
dong was born after the couple came
to Arkansas. Her father was killed
when she was three years of age
and her mother died soon after
ward. One sister, the only other
child, also died, leaving Mrs. Lang
don without any known relatives.
From an old negro living at Poplar
Bluff, who had formerly been a slave
in the Rhodes family, Mrs. Langdon
learned of some of her ancestors.
For many years she has attempted
to locate relatives but her efforts
have so far yielded no fruit. Her
grandfather, Benjamin Rhodes, own
ed a large plantation at Friar's
Point, Miss, and the fact that one
of the brothers who featured in the
press story is named Benjamin
Rhodes leads Mrs. Langdon to be-
lieve he is related to her.
The story sent out from New York
under date of January 4, is as fol-
lows:
How two brothers, separated by
nearly 1000 miles and for almost
fifteen years, were, through the pro-
duction of motion picture, brought
together for a family reunion on
Christmas in their old ancestral home
in Mississippi is told in a letter to
George l.. Sargent, motion picture
producer and director.
"One of the brothers is Benjamin
F. Rhodes, portrait painter of Dan
vile, Pa. The medium through
which the reunion was reached was
{ A Gentleman from Mississippi the
exterior scenes of which were laid on
the old Rhodes family estate, Arling-
ton on Bayou, Natchez, Miss.
The other brothers name is not CIV
en-, but he was living in Purcell, Ok.
Neither brother had been to the
old home in fifteen years and they
were so touched when, at points far
away from each other, they beheld on
the screen the old homestead and
the familiar faces of the negroes
they knew so we'll, that it made each
man homesick for the other. SO at
the same time they wrote to Missis-
sippi for information and subse-
quently journeyed there to meet
again.

Story of Anna
ShaW-Pioneer

In our ignorance many of us know Dr.
Anna X. Shaw only as a suffragist. and
imagine her one of the extremists of the
cause. But Doctor Shaw entirely dis
perses such misconceptions in her STORY
of a Pioneer (Harper & Bros. New
York;. We discover that suffrage is only
her most recent undertaking; that she is
an ordained minister. a certified doctor
and a most human woman, with all
possible feminine qualities except matri-
mony. Before she takes us into her real
pioneer life in the Michigan woods, she
reviews a bit of her childhood in Eng
land and her recollections of her parents.
Then comes the life at Albion College,
her ministerial duties. her work in the
Boston Medical School, and her lecturing
and suffrage work. The Michigan life
offered physical hardships, and each new
step In her life brought with 1t its per-
plexities. which Doctor Shaw frankly ad-
mits and her readers are glad to hear.
Her life was, and still is. abundant, and
out of this abundance she gives many
intimate details which are significant in
the development of the woman. She
writes more than an autobiography; she
writes of her many and interesting
friends and associates. And she gives so
generously of their lives and experiences,
that young people of today, who only
