Judge Driver Says He Intends to Make Liquor Selling Unpopular

Blytheville, April 12. Mine years in the penitentiary was the sentence imposed upon Frank Maymon after he pleaded guilty to three charges of illegally sell ing liquor in Circuit Court here today. Judge Driver sentenced him to three years on each charge.
 Maymon was indicted on five charges. After evidence had been submitted in one of the charges, he asked permission to withdraw his plea of not guilty and to plead guilty to three of the charges.
 In sentencing Maymon, Judge Driver denounced him severely and declared that he intends to make bootlegging an unpopular occupation in his district if such a thing is possible. Arkansas Gazette.

who had no money were allowed to talk as freely as those who could pay for it.
 The girls in charge of this emergency station gave the in- formation which hastened SUD- plies to Paris, and so explicit were they that the proper things were brought on the first trains, and much suffering thus prevent ed. Persons called from outside were paged" in the crowd, and later sandwich men were en- ployed who walked through the streets carrying black boards on which were written the names of the persons wanted, with the request that those who read notify them when they were seen.
 A small switchboard was brought overland from a nearby town, and by morning all the bu- siness offered was cared for. A building was secured and efforts to establish local service in the small part of town remaining was attempted.
 One example of the attention given to sufferers is that of an aged woman who lost every thing she had in the fire, and appearing at the temporary of- flee. accompanied by her daugh- ter, both wearing borrowed gar ments, asked to talk with anoth- CT daughter in Houston. She had no papers and could not give the address of the daughter. Messengers were sent out in Houston, calling at every house until the daughter was found.
 Knowing that before Paris could begin to rise from it's pros tration, local service would be necessary, two cars containing new switchboards, were shipped by express and arrived within two days after the fire. Eight days later this equipment, suf- ficient to serve 1,3O0 lines. was in working order. In this time 220 poles had been set, 2,3O0 ad- ditional feet of underground con- duit laid, and 10000 feet of cable strung. This gives Paris suf- ficient telephone equipment for the next two years, even though it is being rapidly rebuilt with the $5,O00,000 insurance money that is now being paid to the losers.
