Prosecuting Attorney January in
forms us that he will ask for q special
grand jury at the coming term Of cir
cult court of Reynolds County, which
meets in Centerville on Monday, May
23d, 1921. Many matters Of import
INT will be brought before the jury
for their consideration. The jury
will be called upon to investigate
suicides, homicides, still births, viola
tions of tine Prohibition law and many
other matters. Mr.. January says
there are SO many of these cases 1t is
impossible for him to get the neces-
sary evidence. and that a grand jury
can get evidence that he would be
unable to get, all of which is reason
ably true. 1t has not been the custom
in this county to have more than n
grand jury each year, but there have
been so many cases reported to the
Prosecuting Attorney that it becomes
necessary to ask for a grand jury at
this time.-Centerville Outlook.
In referring to the ball game be-
tween the Des Arc and Greenvllle
clubs at Greenville May 10th the
Greenvills Sun says: "Loose fielding
and wild throwing was responsible
for the Rustler's defeat by Des Arc
here last Sunday afternoon. Des Arc
has a strong defensive organization,
and the fact that they Cleaned eight
hits off of Ozburn's delivery is ample
evidence of their offensive ability.
Nevertheless, with proper support,
Ozburn should have won his game
easily. While Fred allowed eight
hits, the Rustlers found Stevenson
for ten bingles, and the official score
credits Ozburn with fifteen s%trikeouts
and Stevenson with nine. Rain
waters left hand was injured in the
first inning, and this bothered him
considerably throughout the game,
but he showed his gameness by stick
ing on the job throughout the contest.
The Des Arc club is composed OF a
fine bunch of boys. They are nifty
ball players, they knowthe game, and
they are going to make it hot for any
team that opposes them"
A surprise, complete and delightful

Arcadia Public School last Thursday
Miss Mamie Ringo, who had for years

smiling Riddles was fully appreciated
but this was not ali; near the lunch

with WELT filled baskets of picnic del
cacies appeared upon the scene
Lunch was enjoyably and informally
served upon the school lawn, two o.

and Edgar Fletcher, being present
About $3.50 P. NJ. the children gave
, their closing and pleasing exercises
followed by refreshments being serv'
ed by the teacher, all INDUCING in

all expressed regrets that Miss Nan
ME was retiring from the-school, ant
also their appreciation Of the care be-
slowed and of her thorough instruc'
tions which were characteristic of boil
kindness and firmness, as Miss Mamie
J says "happy children are obedien
