married William Patterson of Coney Creek. William Patterson had sew eral children by a former marriage. membered by me (Tho Sylvanus Phillips and Daniel Mooney married two of his daughter. See Pioneers and makers of Arkansas by Josiah H. Shinn). These two names are Hunter and John, the latter known by all the old residents of Marian na as Uncle Johnnie"
 Uncle Johnnie I knew well. When he would come to Helena my fath- er's house was hls home and l was his bedfellow. On these occasions 1 was entertained till one or two o'clock with bear hunts, turkey shoots and politics. Though un- lettered he had a wonderful mind !; he was great admirer of the first Napoleon and could talk for hours of his exploits, his rise from ob- scurity to power.
 Hunter Patterson l have no rec ollection of ever meeting. There is tradition that Phebe Dunn, after her marriage to Wm. Patterson, gave to each of her sons and the Patter- son boys a Spanish grant of $40 acres of land. While riding with my father from Walnut Bend to Forrest City, he pointed out to me place as the one where, as he , said, Uncle Hunter settled his grant. This place at that time was known as the Pen Dunn place, no relation of mine, and is at or below what is known as the Cutoff on the St. Francis. You should have no trou- ble in verifying this. How unim- portant we think these things at the time and how priceless they may become in later years. You should be able to find the records of John Patterson's home place, which was near Marianna. Possibly this was his entry of the Spanish grant men toned above, as given by Phebe Dunn Patterson to the children. May 29, 1920, Joseph Clark Dunn married Clarissa Murch, whose fath. CT, David Murch, was probably 8 surveyor They came from Genes see county New York. In 1923

D. R. R. NOTES
sKETCH-HISToRCAL AND TRADITIONAL.

Some of the early settlers of that ,,ortion of Arkansas embraced by Pbillips and Lee counties, including soroe recollections by Joseph Samuel Dnnn. fourth in line of descent from William and Phebe Dunn, who settled at New Madrid, in 1902, and at the mouth of the St. Francis riv- CT in 1812-15.
 William Dunn, his wife, Phebe Dunn. and their children, i. Q. Joseph Clark Dunn (rny grandfather) Icha- bod Gideon, William, Hiram and Elizabeth Dunn, about the year | 17qS. moved from near Augusta, Ga. to Kentucky and about 1902 to Tvwapity Bottom in what IS now inc state of Missouri. He entered and proved up a claim by ten years residence, and received patent for same. He must have died about this time.
 After the New Madrid earthquake destroyed these lands, Phebe Dunn was granted what was known as a New Madrid certificate, which was located by Joseph Clark Dunn, in what is now known as Walnut Bend, he having purchased the rights of inc other heirs. This location was made in 1923.
 1t appears that Phebe Dunn with her children, moved from the de- wasted region of the earthquake, or sunk lands, and settled at Utica, a town which was the outgrowth of the surveying district set off by the IT. s. Government for the lower St. Francis, in fact people from all narts of the country began to set tle there, so as to get first choice of the newly surveyed iaads. From what information l can gather, locate Utica west of the mouth of the St. Francis river on Crowleys Ridge.
 About the year 1915 Phebe Dunn

LIE DOWN FROM NORTH TO
 SOUTH FOR SOUND SLEEP

Davenport, Iowa Are you nerv- ous? Don't you ,sleep well? Then listen to Dr. W.iW. Bailey and the theory he recently expounded at the convention of the Central Society of Physical Therapeutics in Chica- go.
 Its this way" he explained. ''You see most; folks sleep wrong mean by lying east and west in, bed instead of north and south As the earth revolves on it's axis it stirs up millions of vibrations These travel from north to south. If a person sleeps counterwise to them he gets the full force of them and the produce shock to the nervous system"

that was the Falls place owned by c. Falls and his sons, Nep and John, of Memphis. Frank Falls, another son, occupied it for some years in the 70's. In front of the Falls place and fronting on the river, was the John Stewart place, g fine plantation which, on the open ing of Bordeaux Chute by U. s. snag boats, all caved into the river inside of a year. Going up the river from Ford Rodgers we find Joe Clayton, who married Miss Lou Berry; the Clarks at Askew r. o. {; James and E. H. B. Dupuy, McAlex- ander; the Gaines, Jim and Ed; Vol Rodgers and Frank Rodgers, and on the St. Francis river were the Rob- ertsons, the Carnpbells, the Fords and Newmans.
 My father, Dr. Lawson B. Dunn, moved from Helena to the Bend in 1868, prompted, no doubt, by that mate longing. 1 believe everyone iIas to return to the place of their birth and early childhood. Here he practiced his profession for ten years or more, living first on the Lindsay place, then he bought the Clark place at Askew P. O., where he lived till he moved to Friars Point, Miss, to engage in the cot tonseed oil business. Memories come thick and fast at this time, but as they are of a personal na- ture l will omit their record in this paper.
 Wm K. Sebastian and Amelia daughter of Joseph Clark Dunn and Clarissa Murch Dunn, were married November 18th, 1885.
 In conclusion ] want to express the hope that you will find some thing that will be of interest in your work.
 Very respectfully, J. s. DUNN.

The famous stone COW of Alan, a small village in the Haute Garonne, France, is the center of fight be- tween the Ministry des Beaux Arts in Paris and the peasants of the village. The ministery has twice sold the COW, which dates back to the fifteenth century, and each time the buyers have attempted to re- move it the peasants have fought with pitehforks and clubs to pre- vent it's removal.

One of the most convenient ac-
cessories of any woman's wardrobe
is the satin frock. Such a dress
may be worn at the morning musi-
cales the formal luncheon, the afr
ernoon reception, 6 o'clock dinner
and the theatre.
An ideal style that is neither o
formal o informal is worn by Miss
Allyn King in Ladies' Night"-one
of Broadway's mid-winter successes.
The dress Miss King is shown as
wearing is a soft lustreless satin
with the skirt all in one piece, the
two ends of the material coming
together in a jabot at the centre
back. At the sides. the satin is
folded to half its length and draped
diagonally across the front.
A few velvet flowers are tucked
into the ribbon belt of the plain
kimono-like bodice.
The whole is so simply done that
it could easily be copied by any
home dressmaker.
