PASSED BAD CHECK
Former Woman Resident Under
Bond. Other CrOokedness
Reported Society Leader.

Mrs. J. D. Cunni 1gham, for
merly of this city and at one
time one of the chief society
heads of the town, was arrested
last week in Kansas City by
Deputy Sheriff Trent and brot
to Salisbury last Saturday night
and arraigned before Justice
Trammell on a charge of uttering
a worthless check for $25 drawn
in favor of Jim Dempsey of
Triplett, Bond in the sum Of
$4,000 was signed by two Kansas
City residents one lawyer, and
the prisoner liberated until cir
cult court at Salisbury in Febru-
ary.
1t is reported that Mrs. Gun
ningham went to Triplett sever
al days before her arrest, the
undoubted purpose being to vic
timize cashier Wade McAllister,
for she presedted a check which
she SAID she had as a payment
on land somewhere out west, the
check being for $4,000 and for
which she wanted a draft for
$1,000 and deposit slip for $4,000.
Wade was rendered suspicious
by the womans representations
concerning the possession Of the
big check and declined to serve
the prospective customer. She
offered to have James E. Demp-
sey identify her and endorse the
check, and McAlister at first
agreed to accept the business
with jim back of it but further
questioning determined him to
let it and the woman alone alto
gether.
She then went to Mr.. Demp-
sey and gave him check for
$25 for expense money and left
town. In a few days the check
came back protested and Jim
got busy, obtaining a warrant
for her arrest and appearance
before justice Trammel of Sails
bury. Deputy Sheriff Trent of
Brunswick was given the war
rant to serve and went to K.
City last Friday and made the
arrest. After the arrest it is
learned that some one called Jim
and offered to make the amount

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan
Farmers Week.

may not reach former years that
makes it the better for those
who do attend.
We would enjoy seeing a good
turn out from old Charlton.
At this greatest farmers event
good farmers from all parts of
the state are there and it is an
inspiration to meet them.
The events for the ladies are
just as interesting and important
as are those for the men folks.
So take your daughter, sweet
heart or your wife with you.
The office of the Bureau will
be closed during that time.
Bureau Meeting.
On January 18th promptly at
200 P. NJ. we desire to start the
meeting.
= There are several important
matters to consider. Farm
Club members, and live stock as
sociation members as we'll as bu-
reau members are wanted.
We desire to present some
plans for county wide work at
this meeting, and we want to
harness" up a lot of the good
hustlers of Charlton County to
help. We hope weather condi-
tiOns will be such as will allow
a good attendance.
How Does Your Account Stand?
Have you made or lost money
in your farming operations the
year just closed?
How many Of US can answer
this question rightly?
Can we answer it from the re-
cords kept, or are we just guess
ling at it? If we are only guess
ing why not keep books" this
year?
There is no real business man
who does not keep tab on his bu-
siness.
To keep accounts will help us
as business men to know where
we are" and to know such often
keeps us out of trouble.
No, of course, you're not 60
ing to die in 1919, or that is a lot
of folks will not die this year, or
we hope they will not, but if
such should be your fortune or
misfortune just as you look at it,
are your affairs in such shape,
that those who may be left to
wind them up. can do it so as to
not make the winding up cost
more than it is worth?
Blank farm records are SO
cheap that many banks are Civ.
ing them away.
Bankers know so well the nee.
essity for being able to know
"how we stand" every day, and
the bankers welfare is so wrapp'
ed up with that of the farmer
that he is glad to lend any aid
that may be toward this much
desired result. He is willing tc
, help you in keeping books in the
event you get "balled up" OF
the Bureau of Agriculture will
be glad to help you.
The Bureau can also supply
blank books at just about the
cost of printing them. The banks
though actually give them away,
and the Bureau would like to,
but we are not quite able to dc
so.
Try keeping books in 1919 anC
you will surely like it.
