 ne of our oldest and best citi- zens-Mr. R. J. Bob" Sim mons who was drowned in the overflow of White River, near his home west of Greg ory's Point.

He could not swim and when the mule re- turned home alone, a search was begun. His hat was found floating on the water and his body was found by dragging.

A CLUB BOOSTER

you can never tell what a
 cirI will do next. Any boy
 will will verify that statement.
 But when they start to do it,
 whatever it is-in real earnest the boys want to take notice for things are going to happen.
 Whtn little Miss Emiline L. Osborne of Howell began her club work three years. ago, she was really earnest about it. So many kinds of club work interested her that she just decided to do about all of them. No doubt she is one>of the busiest little persons in Arkansas.
 The first year her grade hog took first prize at the county fair. It was eleven months old and weighed 415 pounds. Her garden was fine, too, but perhaps the pig had ''hogg- ed" her attention so that her canning exhibit received sec Ond prize. She sold canned products from her garden, however, amounting to $15O. co. Emiline found time for sewing club work and took third prize for first year work.
 The second year, the coun- ty agent helped Emiline se- cure a registered Duroc pig. When she was exhibited at the Tri-State Fair at Memphis that fall, the first prize for Arkansas was awarded. In December, the SOW brought eleven e pigs and raised eight. rive of them sold for $25.00 each and Emiline will ship the otner (' three in a cooperative SSlnllpment Sll of hogs this fall ], me garden was not so good mat year but considering the lack of rain, the S3O.OO profit realized was very good.
