parted to welcome the New Year
in by ringing all the bells that
could be found in town. The
guests report this social as one
of the greatest pleasures of the
holiday week.
A crowd of the young friends
of Miss Druscilla Claridge, cele-
brated the old year out and the
new year in, at the home of
Hyrum Claridge, Wednesday
evening. The merry party as
sembled early and spent the eve
ming in playing games and other
amusements of various kinds.
A dainty luncheon was served a
little after eleven, after which
the crowd went to the church
and school house to ring out the
dying year and welcome in the
new. All report a merry eve-
ming.
A very pretty home wedding
took place Wednesday evening,
Dec. 81, 1919, when Miss Irene
Layton became the bride of Bailey
Woods, Bishop Shumway per-
forming the ceremony. They
evidently meant to battle their
friends, who had planned to
charivari them, for they kept
both the place and time of their
marriage secret, and the chari-
vari party, which had anticipated
the event would take place Thurs
day, did not find out until it was
all over. But they sent in their
congratulations the next day any
way and the Young couple re-
ceived many sincere good wishes
for a long and happy married life.

 OLD TIME CEREMONY.

Where to get a bottle of champagne with which to cristen the new pump boat just completed by Bemberg & Sons, for the Arkansas Brick & Tile Go, has brought the builders to the determination to let the old boat hit the water without even a good wish
 The boat is in reality not boat at all, it being steel tank, about nine by twelve feet and six feet in depth In this tank pump is placed which automatically removes the water from the lake when it is filled beyond cer- tain limit. The tank has an electric connection, and when the water in the pond at the brick company plant south of the city, rises to a certain level, the current is switched on and the pump goes to working The tank is anchored over post, and when the water recedes sufficiently to let it rest on the post, the current is shut off

It must be taken down after being assembled, in order that it may be shipped

The drill bit, a lit tie thing a foot or so in diameter, became loose and battered the end of the shafting so that drilling is stopped until it can be repaired.

PROTESTS AGAINST
 CATTLE DIPPING

A resolution adopted by no resi- dents of Owen township at Ferndale, March 27, says that the signers object to dipping their cattle on the ground that it was reported the federal quar- antine had been raised in Pulaski county, and also because farmers of this township have dipped cattle ey- cry year for the last three years.
 Tt appears that we are being dis criminated against" the resolution reads. fin that other counties, we are informed. have been released with one to three years dipping, while we have dipped three years under the alleged law and it is now demanded that we dip four years.
 Therefore, be it resolved" the res olution concludes, believing it to be our first duty and more necessary and patriotic endeavor to produce some thing to eat and feed than to dip un- der this alleged law, that we do not dip our stock, except at such times, places and intervals as reason, com mon sense and our three years of praetfced experience suggest it to our best interest and the good of our stock. and to this end we unitedly nledge ourselves if necessary to con fest the legality of said law"
