ST. FRANCIS CO. LOOKS
TO MEMPHIS MARKET

FORREST CITY, Ark, May 16. (Spl)
DR.. o. N. Warren, Of this city, who
has been engaged the past week in SELL
inf stock in the Memphis Packing cor
county 40 citizens have subscribed to
this stock in the aggregate sun Of $780,
600.
1t is the purpose OF the Memphis
Packing corporation to establish rogu-
lar monthly market days in all the
principal cities and towns throughout
the Memphis territory. These days
will be advertised and set apart as
farmers marketing days on which
every farmer, whether he may have one
COW or hog, or ten cows and hogs, for
sale, will be asked to drive them in to
his county seat town or township trad
ing center, where the corporations
agent will be on hand to pay him the
highest St. Louis or Chicago price for
his hogs or cattle.
This system, as explained by DR.,
Warren, will result in a great saving to
stockmen in the matter of freight
charges to St. Louis or Chicago, which
heretofore those farmers who have
| shipped their cattle and hogs to these
foreign markets have had TO pay
In addition to this home market, which
will be provided through the estab'
lishnaent Of a packing house industr,
in Memphis, the cattlemen and grow.
ers OF live stock will be given another
advantage, In that 1t will remain OPP
tional with the producers as to wheth'
er they sell or not, as IT will be yer,
convenient, If the market doesn't sui
them, to drive their cattle or hogs OF
back home; whereas If they were forcet
to ship to Chicago or st. Louis no sucl
privilege would be at their disposal
and the buyer, instead OF the seller
would have the edge.

HUMPHREYS co. STARTS
IN BUSINESS MONDAY

YAZOO CITY, Miss, May IS, (Spl.l
Following a series OF lawsuits mt
difficulties in forming the new county
of Humphreys, for which approximately
one-seventh OF Yazoo county was Ia
ken, the new county will be officially
recognized for the first time next Mon
day, when this county will pay. to \
new county the sum OF $l40, 900. This
Is the approximate amour OF the new
county's share Of the finances OF fazoo
county, the proportionate share OF the
strip of territory taken in the formation
of the new county.
There yet remains to be settled the
ownership Of the tract formerly used by
Yazoo county as a prison farm, which
is situated in the territory which be-
came a part Of Humphreys county. The
new county claimed the farm. But 1t
had been leased by Yazoo county at
the beginning of the year for a period
that the statutes OF the state are not
sufficiently definite and specific to take
the farm which belonged to all the tax
payers of YaZoo county and give 1t to
the new county which carried with 1t
but about one-eleventh of the taxpay-
ers OF the county. Though Humphreys
county was awarded the farm in the
circuit court in that county recently,
Yazoo county will appeal that matter
to the state supreme court.
The new county gets l4.Ss per cent OF
the general funds as shown by the
books of Yazoo county on June 3, 1917,
the date of the forming of the new
county. 1t gets 81 per cent OF the
funds Of beat 8 OF this county through
the absorption Of that per cent OF the
beat, and / per cent of the funds of
beat 3 for the same reason. It gets all
of the funds OF certain township funds,
Beat S Of Yazoo county had issued road
bonds to the amount Of $3.50, 900. Hum
phreys county assumes its proportion
ate share Of this bonded indebtedness,
but as little work had been done and
the money was on deposit, it also gets
its proportionate share OF the funds
realized from the bonds.
In the settlement between the coun-
ties Yazoo county was represented by
| the clerk of the board OF supervisors,
s. S. Griffin. while Messrs. F. J.. Host
brink and Guy Higley audited the
books for Humphreys county. The set

annals on this occasion (the fight
against the German crossing of the
Marine oposite Chateau Thierry). 1t
prevented the crossing at certain
points on its front, while on either
flank the Germans, who had gained
a footing, pressed forward. Our men,
firing in three directions, met the
German attacks with counter attacks
at critical points and succeeded in
throwing two German Divisions Gap
proximately $4,000 mem into com
plete confusion, capturing 600 pris'
oners."
This regiment had their regimental
flag decorated with the French Croix
de Guerre with palm A colonel and
three men were also decorated after
this fight.
