Former Brinkley Girls
 Secret Marriage

The announcement made few evenings ago to a small number of friends of the marriage in Tru- man. Ark. of Miss Georgia Frenz of this city and MT. R. J. Hill of Truman came as a great surprise. It was intended to keep the marriage a secret for a while at least, but the woe-be- gone looks of the bride and the inquisitive glances of her friends proved too much and the surpris- ing announcement was made.

BRlNkltY's COTTON MARKET

During the past week many bales of cotton raised in the Brinkley territory have sold at the highest prices ever paid be- fore in Brinkley, and seed has sold here for highest prices ever known before.
 The contention of some men in BrinkIey has been that the bet ter grade of cotton couldn't be raised in the Brinkley territory; that it was our soil which caused a poor grade and that the low prices that prevailed were in consequence thereof; that it was unreasonable to expect cotton Tn Brinkley to bring the kind of prices that Holly Grove, Marvell, Moro and other places paid.
 The ARGUS Editor has contend ed that this WAS NOT A FACT, and that dog tail cotton and low prices" was not the kind to establish Brinkley's trade identi- ty with, and that we could get good prices for Brinkley raised cotton if we would do our part, raise and sell cotton on its real grade instead of having a one man, one price and one dog tail grade.'
 The fact that several bales of cotton raised in the Brinkley territory has during the past week brought 17c. 18c, 19c and even as high as 25c per pound shows beyond adoubt that Brink ley territory land can and does grow as fine a staple of cotton as can be grown in America, much less in the other neighborhoods mentioned.
 The U. $. Government Agri- cultural Department has just issued a mammoth two color poster appealing to all cotton farmers to secure high grade staple cotton seed and raise only that kind of cotton. This poster is most impressive and every Brinkley business house should

Those who indulge in that luxury ought to pay the freight or words to that effect, was the way Mayor Greenlee disposed of a case in his court Tuesday wherein a white man by the name of Burns who had been mixed up with tiger boose and under arrest therefor.
 Mayor Greenlee never fails to drive home a good lesson to the offenders in his court and this 1925 fine, while a little steep, is not unreasonable when the value of the lesson is considered.

What the cowboy thought Of this

with shock. All the rudy warmth
left his face; his jaw began to bulge;
the corded veins In his neck stood out
in knots. In an instant he had hard,
stern, strange look. He shot out a
powerful hand that fastened in the

danced like gold on the grOdnd.

wise he had felt protecting. harbor-

him to be the sympathy Of the brake

Duane was hungry, but he hurried
through the ample supper that was
set before him. urged on by curiosity
and establishment. While eating he
had bent keen eyes around him. After
first quiet scrutiny the rangers APP
parently paid no more attention to
him. They were all veterans in serv-
ice-Duane saw that-and rugged,
powerful men of iron constitution.

had been an unusual and striking one,
which had caused an undercurrent of
conjecture and even CONSERVATION
among them. These rangers were too
