1t Occurred on His Arrival in Bron-
wood Some Days Ago.
Since we moved to Bronwood a
short time ago we have been receiv-
ing, at the hands of the brethren and
sisters of the Bronwood Baptist
church a number of good things to
eat, namely: canned goods, chickens,
lard, meal, meats, vegetables, etc.
Last Saturday during my absence
from home my wife was surprised
when two automobiles, loaded with
chickens, meats, meal and other arti-
cles of the substantials of life, drove
up. Brother c. B. Kennedy and son.
sister J. S. Kennedy and son, and
sister Willie McNeal were the occu-
pants of these cars.
Not only to the members of the
Bronwood Baptist church, but to
members of others denominations
and outsiders who played a part in
this kindness we extend our thanks.
May God bless you. J. L. NARROW,
Pastor Bronwood Baptist Church.

full supply, and the workers will be
called together just as soon as the

AT the June meeting of the county
commissioners two claims for injury
to cows from dipping We're presented.
4. K. and W. X. McLain presented

The commissioners took the claims
under advisement, and will decide
later what action they will take.
They declined to pay the reward
of 500 for the capture of the slay-
er of Dan Eaton, which was recon-
mended by the grand jury. Citizens
had already made up and paid the
reward, and it was proposed to REIN
burse them.

 Having discovered that our ammo mia charge was getting a little weak we wired St. Louis to ship us ammonia at once and this left there on Friday and reached us today We figured that we could keep the trade supplied from our tank until the car could reach us from Hope and had it reached us Monday noon as promised there would have been very little in- convenience. The high temperature of Saturday and Sunday made such heavy demand upon us that by Mon day morning the temperature Tn our freezing tank had reached 26 degrees with very little ice frozen in the cans and we decided the only thing to do was to stop pulling until We could get the temperature back down and the blocks frozen out better, or our tank would be ruined.
 While it causes much annoyance and discomfort to be without ice even few hours, it is not as serious mat ter from health standpoint as living in this fog of dust that we have been living in all summer and if these gen tlemen had spent as much time dis cussing ways and means of abating this dust nuisance as they did the ice shortage, some real good might have been accomplished for the town.

ICE COMPANY ANSWERS
 THE CITY COUNCIL
Editor News

Editor News:
 We would like little space in your paper to reply to the unanimous views of the city council as expressed through Mayor Hamby in Tuesdays issue of your paper, regarding ice shortage that prevailed here part Of Monday and Tuesday.
 Their conclusions that it was care lessness and poor judgment on the part of those making and selling in Prescott is all wrong. If these gen tlemen had consulted the management of the ice plant for their information they could have got it correct and not made any such misstatement of facts.
 On last Friday morning fearing that we might run short of ice, we phoned the plant at Hope to ship us a car of ice which they said they could not do until Monday. We told them to ship Monday on the local if not sooner. Saturday they promised us definitely to ship on local Monday Sunday we telephoned them not to fail to ship us Monday, that we were depending on them. Monday noon they telephoned us that the demands on them had been so great that it was impossible to ship us at all
 The Texarkana plant told us Fri day that they could ship us Sunday or Monday night; that they would let us know Sunday. and then informed
