Card of Thanks

The prayer meeting of Wednesday evening the 9th., was indeed one of the surprises that has overtaken us during this the first month of the New Year 1918.
 True we should always ex- pect great things on such oc- casions, but at this particular 1 time the unexpected occurred, and we were taken by surprise at a very early hour to find the Parsonage filled with a most happy throng, who without one word of warning had come to give the preacher and wife a first class pounding and get them properly initiated and equipped for the duties before them, they, the people, took possession, and the pounding was one that will not soon be forgotten, or ex- hausted, and be it remembered this pounding was "A hours in advance of the cold wave Chow timely).
 For this kindly remembrance we wish to express to one and all our hearty appreciation and sincere thanks, and trust we may ever be worthy the confidence reposed, and pray that out of His unwasting fullness our Heavenly Father may abundant ly bless you one and all. Again thanking you for this abundant expression of your kindness, we beg to remain as ever,
 Your Friends,
 J. R. and Mrs. Nelson.

laws against permitting stock to run at large. A. H. Mansfield, Claim Attorney for the Missouri Pacific, says; "The economic waste does not stop with this. We read that in Germany sol diers killed in battle are being transported to reproduction plants because of the shortage of fats. If we should read in the daily papers that an alien enemy had destroyed at some of our large stock-yards enough meat supply to care for half a million of our troops for one week, our anger would know no bounds. Yet such loss is going on in Arkansas and in other states every year, and up to the present time has been practically unheed- ed and but little effort has been made to reduce it. Gazette.

Waste of Foodstuff

Little Rock, Jan. 21- During the year 1916, the railroads of Arkansas killed enough meat animals on their rights of way to feed an army of 433, 300 for one week. In the last three years, the railroads of Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana killed a total of 121, 596 head of live stock. including enough meat animals to furnish meat for an army of 100000 men for one month.

Words of Caution and Advice

Tn this struggle for the free dom of the races of the earth, our government is making su- preme effort, not only for our benefit, but for the world at large, as the Detroit Free Press expresses it, If Germany wins this war, it will not be necessa- rv to die to go to hell;;" and in this struggle our government the best on earth is appealing not only for material aid but for loyalty of thought and speech, and asking that every true man be loyal to the government in thought and speech.
 The time is not long past for criticisms and theories, no time to quibble over some things es. pecially those we are not in sympathy with and have only newspaper reports to base our opinion upon, which has only been furnished a very meager line of information.
 This country is America for Americans, and any one that does not believe in this govern ment has the privilege of leav- ing and no petition will be cir culated to keep them from go- ing, and if some one thinks Germany should win this war let them go there and help her fight, it is not popular nor has it been personally safe in some places for Pro German ideas, and we caution every one that in the governments Whose Who Book" the names of some are being inscribed that may cause some trouble, so this word of advice is given should you be a German sympathizer and we'll wisher the best place for you to express those ideas are in Germany" It does not take very much now to bring a charge of sedition against one who is not in sympathy with our beloved government, and this warning is given. A word to the wise is sufficient.

cal stage. The bill of lading has been received and the coal is now somewhere enroute" and if some other town between McCrory and Little Rock does not confiscate our coal we will no doubt receive same the first of next week.
 The coal was ordered by MT. Swayze but has been shipped to the mayor, this being the rule adopted or used by the state fuel administrator, MT. Couch. Not more than one ton will be sold to anyone and those who need coal should notify MT. Swayze or Mayor Raney immediately.
 The managers of the local gins have very materially relieved the situation during the present crisis by selling their coal to our people and that at very moderate prices. A car of wood which was shipped here last week came just in time to keep several of the home fires burning.

several others started north in, pur-
suit. The booze car was Overtaken
near the residence of C. w. Hoffman,
and the driver deliberately trief~to
ditch Commodore by turning in front
of him as he tried to pass, but did
not succeed, and when Commodore
got his wife's Buick Strengthened out,
he had no trouble in passing the
booze Cadillac just this side of the Ed
Macy farm. When the fellows saw
they were caught they stopped their
car and jumped out, one of them
carrying a shot gun and ran east
through corn field. Sheriff Fulton
and others went out to search for
them, but it was nearly dark, and
they had no trouble in hiding, but
they were arrested at Osceola Mon
day morning, having walked to Les
lie, where they boarded the train,
still carrying the shot gun. They
were placed in Jail and Tuesday

from Mt. Ayr and held court They
entered a plea of guilty to bootleg
ging. and were each fined 5000 and
costs, and then Mayor Gardner got
busy and imposed fine OF $50 and
costs for speeding. They gave their
names as David Anderson and Mark
Jones. The Cadillac had a cargo Of
something like three hundred pints
of liquor. They paid 5000 cash on
their fine and costs and their auto is
being held until the balance Isl paid.
