1t is stated that Fl. G. Harrison has
resigned as cashier Of the Bank of Des
Arc and will accept the position of
cashier of the Exchange Bank ofPied-
mont. Mr.. Harrison has been with
the Bank of Des Arc several years
and his departure is a decided loss to
that institution and the community.
A young man by the name of Kinder
from Shannon county is Mr.. Harrison's
successor.
The REGISTER made a big blunder
last week when it stated that J. w.
Russell, the poultry mar, east OF town,
had gathered 6s dozens of eggs DUR
ing the month of December. In fact,
Mr.. Russell's egg collections for De-
cember were 253 dozens, or 3,O28 eggs.
A mighty fine showing, indeed. Inc
truth is that Mr.. Russell has the model
poultry yard of all this section and he
conducts it on scientific lines.
