ANOTHER BANK
PROMINENT PLANTERS AND
CAPITALISTS FINANCE INsTI-
TUITION IN THRIVING TOWN
EAST OF MARIANNA.

Hughes, the magic city of South
eastern st. Francis county, is jump
ing ahead by leaps and bounds, and
bids fair to become commercial
center of Importance. To meet
these requirements, the organiza-
ton of a bank capitalized at $780,
boo has been undertaken, and its
SUCCESS seems certain, applications
Tor stock amounting to $4,000
having been received during the
first week. Before organization is
completed, it is the purpose OF those
most heavily interested to receive
applications from all parties doing
banking business in that territory
and to then prorate the stock.
Temporary officers are: J. O..
Beck, president and R. c. Nick.e,
B. C. Friar, Thos. H. Tucker, J. S.
r. Cowan, B. c. Poufcey of Hughes,
J. B. Hood of Gassett, R. Brinkley
Snowden, R. L. Jordan, L. E. Brown,
C. L. Ransom and A. H. Murray of
Memphis, directors. The cashier
and vice president have not as yet
been selected.
Besides the above, among others
who have subscribed for stock are /:
]. H. Findley, d. Winters Jesse
Bush, G. w. Sims, Guy Shuford,
Frank Thompson, Ernest Williford,
w. Anderson, w. E. Elder, J. H.
Smalley, B. M. Turner, S. H. Mann,
and w. w. Campbell, the latter two
of Forrest City.
The bank will be known as the
Planters Bank and will occupy it's
own home, to be constructed in a
substantial manner, of brick. Work
on the structure will begin in a
short time.
This will be the only bank on the
Railway between Memphis and Ma
Rrianna and will prove a great con-
venience to the people of that city
and vicinity.
Messrs. t. H. Tucker and B. c..
F'riar have purchased the Hughes
gin of the Mariana Oil Mill, and
will double its capacity this sum-
ffler. Next year it will be enlarged
to $4,000 plant, and will operate
an electric lighting plant.
Mr.. Tucker has recently sold his
mercantile business to John ]. HUI
ghes OF Haynes, and will devote his
entire time to his farm, timber, gin
and other large interests.
announcement has previously been
made of the organization of another
bank at Hughes, by John J. Hughes

to pay the highest market price for
all the peanuts grown in the state,
thus furnishing an easy and ready
market for the farmers who CO.
operate in this movement. Mana
ger Patton of the Mariana Oil Mill
is enthusiastic over the campaign
and is anxious to see the peanut in
dustry developed here. The seed
will be furnished the farmers at
actual cost, which will be $3.50 per
hundred pounds. The regular
wholesale price for peanuts in Mem
phis is $1,000 per hundred. Twelve
hundred pounds have been ordered
for use in this county.
Recently Jim G. Ferguson, state
agricultural commissioner, sent out
the following article on the value of
the peanut:
Friends, do you realize that the
peanut is valuable money crop?
Arkansas farmers in 1917 and 1918
realized on an average of $1.80 per
bushel for peanuts and the average
production per acre was 80 1-2 bush
els. The average value per acre in
dollars of corn for 1917 and 1918
was $3.50; for wheat $28.44; for
cotton $27.33; for peanuts $55.O7.
The peanut crop is productive from
every standpoint of the farmer. II
can be proftably produced on large
acreage of Arkansas soils. A ton

1t is enough to bring the blush Of
shame to the law-abiding citizens
of Lee county to know that in any
section of the county there are in
dividuals so low, depraved and
sneaking that they would dynamite
dipping watts because in their ignor-
ance and stupidity and general Gus
sedness they profess to believe their
cattle are injured by this humane
means of Kidding them of the de-
structive cattle tick. Local and fed
eral authorities should be given ev-
cry assistance in experimenting the
perverts guilty of this crime, and if
no other punishment is inflicted up
on them they ought to be decorated
with a liberal supply of vigorous,
HEALTHY and hungry ticks and be
made to share the misery OF their

of peanut hay is almost equal in
feeding value to ton of clover hay.
Peanut meal, which is the hay and
the nut all ground or chopped to-
gether, forms an almost balanced
ration for dairy COW.
The peanut is good for human
consumption, it ranks high as a feed
for farm animals, it is an important
heterogeneous fertilizer, is the source
of an oil that is superior to cotton
seed oil. The lack of freezing tenn
perature the past winter would in
dictate a visit from the boil weevil.
