ARKANSAS EXODUS
NIPPED by SHERIFF

Cletis Leach, Kagal Dawson, Len
Boone and John Combs, four Beaver
Dam youths, according to the story of
one Of them, met in a grove in that
town Tuesday afternoon and planned
an exodus to Arkansas. The boys
ages ranged from fourteen to sixteen,
and they had as yet accumulated only
small measure of worldly goods,
and were handicapped for transporta-
ton money. One of the bankruptcies
hit upon the apparently easy plan Of
raising the cash by drawing upon the
bank accounts Of unsuspecting cit
zens. Accordingly each drew a check
on the bank account Of wellknown
business men, the amounts ranging
from ten to twenty four dollars.
Combs drew his check on the account
of Ellis Sandefur for $1,000 and got

Johnnie Combs. but the other two es-
capped. Combs and Boone were
brought here and lodged in Jail, and
will have their examining trial in
Judge Cooks court tomorrow. When
seen at the jail the boys recited the
planning and attempted execution of
the Wholesale forgery plan with as
much unconcern and indifference as
if they had been telling a fishing

NOT BEDA.

Capt. w. E. Bennett, temporarily
domiciled in greensboro, was here
this week and among other things,
said that it was his desire to publish
10 the world that he held his citizen
ship in Ohio county, in the locality
of "BUCKHORN," that there was no
such place as Beda, because thdt
when some "hifilutin" folks had a
postoffice establishedeand named BE

the old village and settlement, and
when the department abolished the
p. o. Old Buckhorn was left, just as
she was before the unhallowed name
was thrust upon her by the elite and
fastidious of the latter days. Capt.
Bennett moves that "Beda" be con-
signed to the scrap-heap and that
"BUCKHORN" reign instead.

AN APOLOGY TO
JUDGE BELCHER

Some time ago. Judge Newton
Belcher. of Greenville, authorized us
to announce his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for state SEN
ator in this district. At the same
time Judge Belcher left with us copy
for an address to the people of the
district. 1t was near our press hour,
and we ran the card, deferring the for
NAL announcement until the follow
ing week. Then by one of those un-
fortunate oversights that seem un-
avoidable in a newspaper office, we
failed to insert his announcement,
We are very sorry this oversight oc-
Cured, and hope this apology will
some measure make amends for the
oversight Judge Belcher is a man
of marked ability and, il nominated
and elected, will honor both himself
and the district he represents in the
upper house of the General Assembly.

LEASING OIL LANDS.

Roscoe Holbrook, of greensboro,
acting for himself, or perhaps for
some oil development company, has
leased several hundred acres of la
belonging to JEFF Bell, Noah Jolly and
others, in the community between
Buford and Heflin. 1t is probable
that test well will be put down on
the land some time during the year.
Oil developments in Grayson, Ohio
and Mclean counties indicate the pos
sibility of oil in profita BILE quantities,
and it is hardly probable this terrific
ny will be finally abandoned before
giving 1t a much fairer try out than

of that community graded the road

MEAT PRICES LOWER.

Here is a wee bit of encouraging
news for the housewife. Meat is a
trifle cheaper.
The Chicago headquarters of Swift
& Company announced it had 10000
900 pounds more meat for sale this
month than for the same month last
year, and records show the price is
lower. The local office of the COM
pany stated to-day that during the
past two weeks beef has declined
from IS to 22 cents to IL to Is cents
in price and that pork is cents a
pounds cheaper. wholesale.
The Louisville Meat Market stated
that western cattle beef had de-
creased approximately 6 cents a
pound. but that good native cattle
beef had dropped but about 3 cents
pound. The retailer is giving the
consumers the benefit of the reduced
prices, it was reported
1t was claimed that the warm
weather conditions probably brought
down the price of fresh pork several
cents. Hogs are bringing higher
prices and hams are up. but the pack
ers seem anxious to dispose of fresh
pork, the demand for which slumps
during the summer, Pork chops,
which formerly sold for 40 cents a
pound, may now be purchased for 35
cents.

Of July First

Have you been lying awake. at
nights worrying about what will be
your fate after June the thirstiest?"
How you'll be stung by that prohibit
ton bug that has been buzzing around
so long?
Folks in Chicago claim to have
solved the problem of how to swat
the prohibition bug" and take away
its sting. They worried about it I'M
til they struck upon the proper meth
cd, since which time they removed
the wrinkles from the troubled brow
and regained their cheerfulness, for
the joy of life is with them.
"You should worry" is the name Of
the new discovery. Others have de-
vised ways and means for various
new beverages, but the Chicago wise
ones declare theirs has the best taste,
and kick" and all-around satisfac-
ton. Remembering the hospitality
extended to them by Kentuckians on
numerous occasions, residents of the
Windy City have fastened to late
the disturbed mental being of fr,-l DIS

of the olden days when as boy you
sneaked into the parlor, took the sea
shell from the What-not and heard

Somehow the terrible spectre of
