MAINTAIN COUNTY
WARRANTS AT PAR
JUDGE PLUMMER MAKES GOOD
CONTRACT WITH THE SIX
BANKS IN LEE COUNTY.

County Judge J. A. Plummer has
made a contract with the six banks
in Lee county whereby the banks pay
two and half per cent interest on
deposits of county funds and also
agree to maintain county warrants
at par. During the past year the Lee
County National Bank has been the
county depository, paying interest at
the rate of three and half per cent
and keeping warrants at par. When
bids were recently submitted the loc-
al banks did not bid more than two
and a half per cent for the county
funds, because money is now plenti-
full and cheap. Judge Plummer re-
jected the bids and subsequently took
the matter up with the four banks in
Mariana, and the banks at Haynes
and Moro and made arrangements to
divide the county funds among them,
all in return agreeing to pay two and
half per cent interest and to cash
all county warrants at one hundred
cents on the dollar.

CHANCELLOR DECIDES
AN INTERESTING SUIT
HOLDS CONDITIONAL OPTION
ON LAND EXPIRED WHEN
DEFENDANT DISCHARGED
DEBT.

Chancellor E. D. Robertson heard
a very interesting law suit last Sat-
urday in an action in which l.. Z,
Berard of Helena attempted to en-
force the terms of an option he claim
ed to have held on piece Of land
owned by L. A. Fitzpatrick. More
than a year ago Fitzpatrick borrowed
$3.50 from Berard, giving note to
mature on December 16, last, secured
by a second mortgage on his land and
by rent notes. In addition he gave
Berard an option to sell the land at
an agreed price, the option being one
of the conditions of the loan. Berard
collected his loan and interest out OF
the rent notes and on December To-
turned over to Fitzpatrick the cam
celled note. Subsequent to that date
he attempted to exercise his option
on the land and Fitzpatrick refused
to recognize the validity of the op-
ton. Suit was brought in chancery
court by Berard to compel Fitzpatrick
to accept the purchase price for the
land and deliver a deed to Berard.
Fitzpatrick contended the option ex-
pired. After listening to many de-
position and very able arguments by
Judge J. M. Vineyard and Judge W..
d. Dinning of Helena, representing
Berard, and by Judge R. J. Williams
of Forrest City, representing Fitz-
patrick, Chancellor Robertson de-
cided the option expired whit he can
collation. of the obligation and that
Berard could not force Fitzpatrick
to sell the land after the debt was
paid.

WELTY TALKS ON
MARKETING CROPS
MISSOURI PACIFIC EXPERT EN-
PHASIZES IMPORTANCE OF
STANDARDIZATION OF
PRODUCTS.

D. C. Welty, agricultural commits.
sioner for the Missouri Pacific rail
road, delivered most instructive ad-
dress to a representative body OF
business men and farmers at the Elks
Club last Friday evening on the sub
ject of the proper method to market
the surplus products. Mr.. Welty
came here upon invitation of the mar
keting committee to assist in formu-
lating a comprehensive marketing
plan that would enable the farmers
to advantageously dispose of their
grain and perishable products. Mr.
Welty has had long and varied ex-
perience in handling marketing prob
lens and in his address Friday
night he covered a wide range
of activities in this line. He
particularly emphasized the ne
cessity for standardization, for pro-
per packing, for looking up prices
and marketing conditions prior to the
time the crops mature, for concert of
action upon the part of the farmers
and for studying the science of dis
tribution. He doubted the advisable
ity of establishing market exchange
in Mariana, suggesting that through
the secretary of the Commercial Club,
the county demonstrator, acting in
conjunction with the state marketing
agent and with the agricultural de-
partment of the railroad, good mar
kets could always be found for sea-
sonable products.
Many of the important features of
his address will be brought up for
discussion at the next meeting of the
Commercial Club on Monday night,
August 6, at which time it is hoped
definite plan of action will be
agreed upon.
