NEWARK SHOWS A
 SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH
Has Made Greater Per Centage Increase Than Any Town
 In the County

Official census figures for Independence county were giv- en cut by the Census Bureau at Washington Tuesday.
 Independence county does not show up very favorably, showing q decrease of about 100 in population during the past ten years.
 Newark has made a greater per centage of gain in popula- tion than any town in the coun- ty. The census report gives Newark a population of 906. The population ten years ago was 595, which shows a net gain of about TO per cent.
 The poulation as given by E. H. Williamson who took a census of the town few weeks ago in connection with the school enumeration, shows that Newark has a population of 1067 which 1t is thought comes nearer being correct.
 Batesville has a population Of 4,299, a gain of about 20 per cent. The population of ether towns in the county, are as follows.
 Cushman, 349.
 Jamestown, 126.
 Magness, 199.
 Pleasant Plains, 116.

ESCAPED CONVICT
 DEFIES OFFICERS
W. w. Revis, Convicted of Mur- der, Said to Be in Black
 River Bottoms

Pocahontas, July 19.-W. w. ReVis, convicted in Feb- ruary of first degree murder and sentenced to serve 99 years in the penitentiary who escaped May 26, from the con- vlct farm at Tucker, is report ed to be in the bottoms of Black river, armed with Win chester, and defying the of ficers.
 Penitentiary authorities at Little Rock have notified local officers that reward of S100 will be paid by the state for the capture of Revis. The fu- gitive is said to have sent word to Reyno and Biggers that he intends to kill three or four men before he is captured.
 The evidence at the trial of Revis was circumstantial but strongly against the prisoner, and the crime for which he was tried was one of the most inhuman that ever occurred in the history of North Arkansas.
 About a year ago the rem- nants of the body of a man were found in Black river, about 12 miles from here, just over the line in Clay county. The legs and arms had been cut in two, the head and face chopped into several pieces and the torso cut into three or four different pieces.
 Revis was a tubercular pa- tient at the Tucker farm hos pital at the time of his escape. The physician had given him permission to walk for exer- else along the bank of the bay ou on which the hospital is To- cated. Revis had been absent for several hours on May 26, before his escape was discover ed,

SMITHVILLE BANK
 ROBBED IN DAYLIGHT
Two Unmasked Men Hold Up Cashier and Get Away
 With Large Sum

Imboden. = July 21.-Im- mediately after reopening the Citizens bank of Smithville, 12 miles south of here, afternoon to day, Cashier Luke Johnson was held up by two unmasked white men at the point of re- and forced to surren- der approximately $1, 300 :. in currency and silver. After stagin gthe daring robbery, the two men calmly walked out the front door and started out of town on foot. MT, Johnston was alone in the bank when the two robbers entered. He was sitting at a desk looking over some papers. When he heard the two men enter, he stepped up to the wicket to wait on them. When he reach ed the window he was looking into two revolvers.
 He was commanded to make no outcry under threat of being killed.
 The robbers then stepped behind the cage and began ransacking the money drawers and the safe. They demanded the government bonds, which they declared were in the bank but MT. Johnston told them that these had been sent to Washington. There were sev- eral thousand dollars worth in the safe but they were unmo- tested. The robbers found the cashiers revolver and put it with the other loot.
 When the robbers left the bank several persons fired at them and they returned the fire. All the shots went wild. A posse was organized and gave chase. The two men had taken a rocky road out of town, and could not be follow ed in automobiles. Members of the possee soon caught sight of the men and fired several times at tkens, but all shots missed.
 It is believed the men are hiding in the woods a short distance south of town.

ty is being recognized as one of the best and most progress i've counties of the state along agricultural lines. This is a matter that should stir the pride of every citizen of the county and every true and loy- al citizen will work to continue the activities that have been in- strumental in making condi- tions what they are.
 The Farm Bureau should re- ceive the combined support of all the people for it is organiz- ed and maintained strictly for the upbuilding of the county. Il can accomplish wonderful things for the county if prop erly supported, but it will be Of little value if support \ is withheld. Support your farm Bureau, the first to be organiz- ed in Arkansas; support your County Fair; support your new County Agent as you have SUD- ported me. No one has the right to expect more from a people than 1 have received at your hands. If 1 have an ene- my in Independence county 1 dc not know who it is, and 1 dare say if l have made one it was because my work ran counter to his selfish interests.
 It grieVes me to part with the Club members of the County. l doubt if a more noble band of boys and girls could be found anywhere. ! predict that the boys and girls who have been heaping honors upon the county and upon themselves will continue to do so in a still greater degree as 'maturer years come upon them. No county in any state has a reputation in club work that equals the reputation that the boys and girls have made for Independence. It is the duty ef every citizen to give all aid possible to these future men and women.
 The very best that there is in life is my wish for you, my Independence county friends.
 Most respectfully,
