County to Secure
 Demonstration Agent

Considerable interest is being manifested in the plan to secure a farm demonstration agent for Franklin county and public spirited citizens in this section as well as Ozark business men are in general taking kindly to the proposition.
 The United States Department of Agriculture has plan where by they give aid to the amount of $500 per year, the county in the matter agreeing to put up a like amount. Hence if $500 can be raised here by popular sub scription it is practically certain that a demonstration agent will be secured.
 Mayor Turner has been active ly engaged in the matter and it is reported has met with no little success and encouragement and it is hoped that Franklin county will soon be able to boast of a farm demonstratOr.

A Correction.

In its issue of Friday, Febru- ary 18th, The Spectator in re- porting the return of Albert l.. Baker seemingly made one ortwo errors which have been called to our attention and which we are pleased to correct. MT. Baker was tried on a charge of second degree murder instead of first degree. It was further stated that Messrs. Baker and Attorney Purvis appeared before Judge Weaver and asked for trial. This. we understand was a mis- take as Baker has been fully restored to his personal liberty and no court proceedings were necessary. Our in form m t seems to have been in error and we cheerfully make the above corrections.

According to the Southwest American, published at Fort Smith, four new rigs will be at work in the Crawford gas fields within a few days. J. P. Nc Donough, of the McDonough Oil Company, has awarded a contract to Tulsa, Oklahoma, company for the drilling of four wells, according to terms of the contract, the first well is to be spudded in by March 2Oth. This company holds leases on approxi- mately 30, 900 acres in Crawford and Franklin counties. The first we'll is to be drilled in Craw- ford county.
 The Travellers Oil and Gas Company have awarded a con- tract for drilling one well. This will be the first test of the trav- elers company.
 The drills are enroute to the Crawford field. The first will arrive in Van Buren soon and will be taken to Dripping Springs, six miles north of Van Buren. The second will be received at Rudy and will be taken to Dean Springs four miles north of Alma. A third rig was loaded at Tulsa Saturday. G. c. Eaton who was awarded the contracts to drill the McDonough wells and the first test of the Travel CTS company, has bought another drill, which will make the fourth set of tools that will be in the Crawford field within a very short time.
 Two of these tests of the Me Donough Oil and Gas company will be made in Franklin county.
 Exact location for these two test wells in Franklin county has not as yet been determined altho geologists are at present looking over the grounds.
 It is reported that the Grove well brought in Friday in the Kibler field had slight showings and good indications of oil. The we'll is approximately 23OO feet deep. the top of the sand being reached at 2279 feet. This well was drilled in 25 days at an average of 92 feet per day.

Mrs. Flora Eichenberger of Ozark has rented the two story building belonging to w. B. Smith now used by hlm as a ware room and will open a bakery about March 18th.
 Later on, Mrs. Eichenberger will open a high class cafe in one of the buildings.
 Both of these industries are needed here whether we strike oil or not, and we hope and be- lieve they will receive liberal patronage.
 Mrs. Eichenberger is an ex- perienced hotel manager and runs nothing but a high class house, and her bakery and cafe will be run on the same high order that she has always ope- rated her hotel on. Crawford County News.

Prosperous Farmer
 to Great Beyond

Charley Walker died at his home east of Ozark Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock of an attack of pneumonia.
 Mr. Walker had been suffer- ing from lagrippe but was thought that he had recovered from this malady and was able to be up and about when Friday morning his condition grew serious and little hope was entertained for his recovery. He had contracted the dreaded pneumonia.
 He was born January 21st, 1854, in Floyd county, Georgia. and came to Arkansas about 1873 with MT. and Mrs. w. G.. Davidson, two sisters, and two brothers all of whom except one

 Mir. Walker was a highly res pected and prosperous farmer, being we'll known thoughout this part of Franklin county. He was a good citizen and it is said by many that he had no enemies. His exemplary life is reflected in his three grown sons who are young men of high standing and bear excellent regulations.
 Many relatives and friends were present. at the funeral ser vices and it is said one of the longest funeral processions noted for a long time was in evi- dence. Interment was made in Nichols Chapel cemetery.
