WALLACE CORMIER
HELD IN LIQUOR CASE
-ENTERS APPEAL
Furnishes Bonds in 5000 for the
September Term of Court
Mark Mccormick Fails to Con-
vince Court That He Didn't
Steal a Boston Terrier, and
Pays Costs of 1882

At the municipal court Wednesday
morning the business of that session
was confined to the hearing in the con-
tinued case of Wallace Cormier, on
the charge of search and seizure of
intoxicating liquors June IS. County
Attorney w. H. Fisher appeared for
the complainant and the respondent
was represented by NJ. E. Sawtelle. By
advice of the latter the respondent
waived a reading of the warrant and
pleaded not guilty. Testimony of the
deputy sheriffs relative to the alleged
seizure of liquors was taken but no
testimony was put in by the defence.
At the conclusion of the hearing the
court found the respondent guilty and
imposed a sentence of $500 and costs
and go days in Jail and in default of
payment of fine and costs so days adj
ditional, from which sentence an APP
peal was taken and bonds furnished
in the sum of 5000 for appearance at
the September term of the superior
court.
A case which was heard in the aft
ernoon had to do with the loss of
Boston terrier dog owned by Charles
E. Marston Of Green street. The an
imal disappeared Monday and her
whereabouts were a mystery until yes
terday forenoon. On account of cir
cumstances connected with the finding
of the dog a man giving the name of
Mark Mccormick was arrested and
taken to the police station and at 4
o'clock in the afternoon was arraigned
before Judge Lancaster on the charge
of larceny of the dog, to which charge
he pleaded not guilty.
Mr.. Marston. owner of the dog, took
the stand and told of the disappear
ance of the animal, last Monday, and
of his finding her in a room at the
Cony House, yesterday afternoon, in
the room also being two ladies and the
respondent. The man Mccormick de-
MED stealing the dog and explained
the presence of the dog in the room
where she was found by saying that
she followed the two ladies in ques-
ton, one of whom had a dog. He al
lowed that the Boston terrier was not
kept fastened but was out with his
party daily. From his remarks rela-
tive to the presence of the dog in a
room at the hotel the inference was
that the dog was kept there with the
hope that the owner might call for It,
After questioning the respondent at
some length regarding the dog the
court found him guilty and ordered him
to pay the costs of court, $3.50.

New Saw Mill Coming.

An Arkansas saw mill man who
has several times recently visited
Benton, has purchased a 120O-acre
tract Of timbered land located on
Cypress Bayou, near Linton and
about six miles southeast of Benton,
and will at once establish saw mill
on it. This is known locally as the
Whited & Wheless tract. It is said
to be we'll timbered and it will take
its new owner perhaps two full years
to saw out the merchantable pine on
it.
The manager of the mill, so the re-
porter is informed, will be Mr..
johnson, and he and others to be con-
nected with the plant will begin NOV
ing in next week. The owner of the
mill to be established is said to be
now operating several mills located
elsewhere. We were unable to learn
his name from local sources.
The plant. it is understood, will
have capacity of twenty or twenty
five thousand feet of lumber daily
and a planer will also be located or
the grounds. The owner expects tt
exp crience no difficulty in securing
i, other timber after saving out thai
on the tract he has just purchased
The shipping point for the product!
of the mill will be Benton.

for the family. The meat should be
procured by increased attention to
poultry and hogs because of the
rapidity with which these can be pro-
duced. Every family should have
at least two cows, so that one can be
in milk all the time. A sufficient
number of brood sows should be kept
to produce the pork for the family,
with some excess for sale. The aver
age number of poultry per farm
should be gradually increased to at
| least fifty. There should be eggs
and poultry for the home table, with
sufficient excess for sale. The live
stock on the farm should be gradu-
ally increased so as to consume the
otherwise wasted products and make
productive the unproductive and I'M
tillable lands.
Cotton for the main money crop
after the living has been amply pro-
vided for.
The sale of the surplus products of
the garden, the orchard, the poultry,
the live stock, and the feed crops to
cover the necessary running expenses
of the farm, leaving the cotton as the
real cash crop.
The present prices Of cotton, says
the circular, should not be permitted
to tempt any farmer to depart from
this program. It is the only safe
plan to follow, no matter what the
price of cotton may be.

Food. Feed and Fertility.

A departmental reader forwarded
to the Banner from Washington, D.
c., reads as follows:
Food. feed. and fertility are the
foundation of safe farming, accord
ing to the United States Department
Of Agriculture. A circular sent to
farmers, bankers, and business men
i'm cotton territory by the Chief of
the Office of Extension Work in the
South saws: "Let US feed the people,
feed the live stock, and feed the soil.
When we have done these three
things, then raise such acreage N
money crops as we have the labor to
tend"
The circular points out that the
true value of cotton to the farmer
is to a great extent the amount of
food and feed that it will purchase.
The price of cotton has risen, it is
true, but so has the retail price Of all
other farm produce. "By growing all
cotton," says the author, "and ex.
changing it for a living you are
simply swapping a high-priced pro-
duct produced by your labor for 8
high-priced product produced by the
labor of the other fellow. When 70,
follow safe farming. however, vol
produce your own food and feed a
