GROCERY HOUSES SOLD
Plunkett.Jarrell-M McRae Company Dis-
 pose of It's Three Stores.

Hope, Aug, 27.-A deal was closed here today whereby the Plunkett- lJarrell-McRae Company, wholesale
 grocers, have disposed of their whole
 sale houses at Hope, Nashville and |Ashdown The consideration is es- timated at $4OO,O0O pending the final inventory, which is being made as
 rapidly as possible.
 The Hope house, where headquar-
 ters are maintained, was sold to the
 Ritchie Grocery Company of Cam den, and the houses at Nashville and
 Ashdown were sold to the Dildy-
 Johnson Company of Hope. The
 houses are closed today while the em- ployes are taking an inventory of
 the stock. The new owners will take
 charge as quickly as the invoicing is finished.
 The Plunkett-Jarrell-McRae Con- pany, owned by w. B. Plunkett, R. G. McRae and T. M, Anderson, began business in Hope in 1901, as pioneer wholesalers in this district. R. G. McRae, pror to that time, was en- gagged in the retail grocery business Fat Hope. It was through his efforts Lthat the business was first launched About a year later Tom Anderson
 became an employe of the firm and Ilater acquired an interest.
 MT. McRae and MT. Anderson said that after taking much needed rest they probably will engage in some sort of business here.
 r The Ritchie Grocery Company is one of the pioneer wholesale houses of the Camden district. The first house was established at Camden by Colonel Ritchie more than 30 years ago, Since then the firm has grown and ex- banded until it has houses at Pres
 colt, Waldo, ElDorado, Ruston and Alexander. The Hope house makes the seventh in southwest Arkansas and northern Louisiana. Officers of the company are W. w Brown, presi- dent; A. Lazarus, vice president; Mark Smith, vice president; and J. w. Hol- loman, general manager.
 It is said that the changes will be made for the present in the force here. It is reported that Mark Smith of Prescott will have the management ,of the house.
 After doing business at Nashville for few years the Dildy-Johnson Company decided to branch out and cover a much wider territory. With IS, P. Dildy as president, Bert John- son, vice president, and A. c. Ram sey as secretary-treasurer, the com |pany first established general offices and large wholesale grocery busi- ness in Hope. Recently it established a branch house at Gurdon. The ac-
 quisition of the Ashdown house gives that company four houses in what is considered the very best of the south Iwest Arkansas territory The Punk ott-Jarrell McRae business at Nash vile will be consolidated with it's house.

Death of Little Boy

Thursday night while many people
were sleeping sweetly just over on
Hancock street, the sweet soul of
Frank Davis, the nine -months-old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ebert Davis wended
it's way to the little home prepared
for him in the great heavens beyond, a
house not made with hands.
Little Frank was a bright and in
telligent baby. Everybody dearly
loved him and his departure leaves a
vacant chair which never can be
filed. He was i'll about three weeks
kith pneumonia. Everything was
done for little Franks suffering but
to no avail. He was so sweet, charm
ing and Christ-like that made the
world seem brighter on account Of
his having been here. The little one
was laid to rest at Lockhart Saturday
afternoon.
The bereaved family has our SYM
pathy in this sad hour.

ALBANIAN FACES
SERIOUS CHARGE

Atlanta, Nov. 21.-On direction
from Governor Hardwick, a warrant
charging embezzlement was issued
today by M. L. Britain, state su-
perintendent of education, against r
Noble Berrien, Jr., president of R. N.
Berrien, Jr., G. Co., of Atlanta, who
have been handling the deferred pay
ment school warrants of the state.
The governors action, it was an
nounced, followed the failure of Mr..
Berrien to appear at the capital today
to make good several thousand dol
lars worth of school warrants turned
over to him. At the same time the
governor was advised by private de-
tectives who were on the case, it>was
stated, that Mr.. Berlien had disap.
peared and all efforts to locate him
were without success.
Investigation of the handling of
state warrants by the Berrien firm
has been under way for about week,
it was stated after Governor Hard
wick had received information from
a confidential source that Mr.. Ber-
rien was alleged to have used $4,000
worth of warrants to cover a personal
overdraft at an Atlanta bank. 1t
was learned the warrants had been
used with a sight draft on a New
York bank. The governor tele-
graphed the bank to rfeuse payment
on the draft and return the warrants
and was assured this would be done.
The Atlanta bank also assured the
state executive it would surrer ier the
warrants when they were returned.
An investigation then was started
70 ascertain whether Mr.. Berrien
could account for all warrants as pre-
viously turned over to him for dis
count. After completing this inves
.tigation Superintendent Britain no.
tilted the governor in writing that
checks drawn by Mr.. Berrien for
school disbursements aggregatinr y
$35,5O0, had been turned down at the
bank and that he had served notice
on Mr.. Berrien to make good these
checks not later than $3.50 o'clock to :
day.
Governor Hardwick later today is
sued a statement saying:
"The school warrants in question
were issued by .siies gouarnnrssnaiee
in conformity with the provisions of
the statute, payable to the county and
city superintendents of education and
were delivered by this office to NE
state superintendent of schools. fhiJ
office has followed strictly both t&
unbroken practice ana the law vii n
respect to these warrants.
"While I deeply regret the occtr-
ance nothing in my power could hive
been done to prevent it. / earneStly
hope the defalcation may OF pave
very large and that Mr.. Berrien may
be able to make it good.S
