administrations, it will not please all in this, nor the ones to follow. It worries all communities from the smallest village to the largest of our cities. There are as many different conceptions of a police mans duty as there are individuals in the community. Marianna, a city of six thousand people, has a a police force of two-half of which force works at night and the other in the day. The area which they are supposed to cover reaches from short distance this side of Greasy Point to short distance this side of Patterson's Branch. Can you beat it? Doubtless this force could have done some things that they have not. We are going to try to improve. It would be a difficult job for this one man who acts as police force and traffic officer to follow every whiff of corn whiskey that seems to float on every breeze to it's lair. But we have informa- tion, 1 think, which will enable us to impede it's consumption to some extent. The policeman is not the keeper of the morals of the individ- uals. We will try to administer this department so that every in- dividual, whatever his position in the community may be, will be reached by the law if he breaks it, and by the same token will protect the humblest in all his rights and privileges.
 No community oon f,,,o+;or +o its best without a Civic League. Marianna has one that has accom- plished much. We stand ready to be helpful to the best of our abil- ity.
 It would be strange if during a term of two years, there should not be a divergence of opinion among you or between you and me as to the policies and means best con- ducive to the community welfare. 1 hope it is not expecting too much to trust these differences may be composed, always, in amity and friendship.
 It is just fourteen years since sat. around this table as chairman of the finance committee. Only one has been touched by death, who sat among us at that time-Mr. E.. c. Badley. Mir. Dupuy, who was city treasurer, has since served you as mayor, so has T. E. Wood, who was city recorder. Hugh Nixon, O. c. Sutton and D. L. Griffis. Geo. Slaughter was then, mayor and J. c. Williams was marshall. As time unfolds its chart, hope can look back over the sea of retrospection and view you gentle men, with whom am now to serve, with the same friendship as I do them. There is no doubt but what our work will be difficult, and there will be many problems that will con- front us, but with cooperation we will be able to solve them.
 I cannot close without expressing my appreciation of the position to which have been elected by the people. My greatest desire is to serve them well.
 Respectfully,
 CHAS. J. GREGORY.

Mayor Dies After
 Taking His Office

Hot Springs, April 12.-Mayor Dr. James W. McClendon, for the past eight years mayor of Hot Springs, and whose new term of administration began yesterday, died tonight at 6 o'clock, at his home in this city. He has been in failing health for some time, and during the city election campaign subsequent to April 5, was unable to take any active part in the cleo tion. Yesterday morning he had the oath of office administered to him in his sick room by Judge Yer nal Ledgerwood, and made his ap- pointments from his bedside. He was unable to take part in the or ganization of the council and the new administration last night.
 Mayor McClendon is survived by widow, son, William, Jr., died few months ago, and that loss was inconsolable to him. His health began to wane soon afterward.
 For forty years Mayor McClend- on his engaged actively in the prac- tice of medicine in this city. He always took an active part in pub lie affairs and was first elected may or eight years ago. He had more of personal than political follow ing, and in several of his elections refrained from taking part in the Democratic primaries, preferring to make his race before the whole of the people than within the ranks of the dominant party.

GuGrG Company
 NOGp Completed

Company "L," 5th Arkansas National Guard, to be stationed at Marianna, has been recruited to the required strength and was inspected by Colonel Moore, Federal Inspector, stationed at Little Rock, Thursday April i4, at p. m.
 The officers of the company re- port 61 enlistments to date and prospects of 25 or 30 more men in the next week.
 Major Robertson has begun the organization of a battalion unit to be located at Marianna, and has designated Bennett Freeman as first lieutenant and battalion ad- jutant of the unit. MT. Freeman is one of our leading business men and young man of splendid char acter, and an officer in the late war. We commend Major Robert son in his selection of an adjutnat for his battalion and feel that he could not have made better selec- tion.
 We would not fail to make men, tion of the fact that the enlisted men of the company are enthusiastic over the organization and have rendered great assistance in re- cruiting. c. E. Hampton, B. J. Vowan, Ike Panich and others have enlisted about 30 men the past week.
 Major Robertson has, closed a deal with the city council for rent of the upper story of the city hall for a period of two years. The city council is to make the neces- sary repairs for converting the hall into an armory. The hall is to be equipped with steel lockers by the state and the city is to build two extra rooms and install shower baths for the men.
 After the inspection of the com pany an order will be placed for all equipment and it is expected that the same will come forward without delay. The equipment will include service rifles, clothing and all of the equipment of an infantry company.

Fifteen Chickens
 Vs. One BaIe Cotton

On Friday last Paul Pound sold to J. J. Rogers & Son a bale of cotton that brought S13.60. When MT. Pound left home that morning Mrs. Pound asked him to bring along with him a little bunch of chickens-15 in number-to sell for her. The chickens sold to J. H.. McCarty and brought $17.6O. That evening when MT. Pound reached home he had to fork over to his good wife-we hope he did-four dollars more for the chickens than the amount he received for his cot ton.
 Now, this little story brings very forcibly before us the value of the little things which we are very much disposed to overlook and neg lect. For many years our people looked with scorn on the poultry business as too insignificant to re- ceive any special consideration as a part of the farms revenue. Of late years, however, the industry has grown to such proportions that on many farms this revenue is the best part of the income of the fam ily The housewives devote special attention to poultry and the home economic agents organized egg cir cles and have brought the farm wife in touch with the best markets and enabled them to receive top prices for their weekly sales. The better breeds of chickens have been introduced and the question of feeding for good results has been studied and now the income of the country from poultry products is surprising. The old hen has supplanted the mule as source of revenue in the great State of Missouri, and if conditions in the cotton markets continue she will soon take the lead over King Cotton" in Mississippi. - Tupelo, Miss, Journal.

CIRCUIT COURT
 NOV IN SESSION
GRAND JURY FINDS FORTY-sGX BILLS OF INDlCTMENT-J. A. HORNE NOT INDICTED FOR KILLING R. C. APPLE.

After a session of three and a half days the grand jury at the spring term of the Lee circuit court, that convened on Monday of this week, adjourned. Judge J. M. Jackson was absent Wednesday af- ternoon on account of illness, and Hon. Rufe Williams of Forrest City, was acting judge. He received the report of the grand jury which was submitted about two thirty o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Interest in the work of the grand jury centered in the investigation of the killing of the late R. c. Apple, circuit clerk of Lee county, by J. A. Horne, in charge of the abstract department of Daggett. 6 Daggett, on October 28, 1920. The details of this trage- dy are familiar to all readers of the Courier-Index and it is not neces- sary Co republish them now. The grand jury, It is understood, spent practically an entire day in taking testimony on the case and voted against an indictment which auto maticaIiy released Horne from his bond of $25,000 which he made at the time of the habeas corpus pro- ceedings immediately following the tragedy.
 The. fs1ll report of the grand jury follows:
 Report of Grand Jury
 We, the grand jury for the April, 1921 term of the Lee circuit court, beg to subrit the following report:
 We have carefully and diligently inquired into all violations of the law of which we had knowledge or received information in accord ance with your Honor's instructions, and have returned indictments in all cases where the proof before us justified such action, and have dis missed all cases where the proof before us justified such action, and have dismissed all cases in which the proof was insufficient.
 We have examined 88 witnesses have returned 46 indictments, 42 for felonies and 4 for misdemeanors, and have dismissed 14 cases.
 Different members of the grand jury during our session have visited and inspected the county jail, and report to the grand &ary that they find the sane to be kept in a san itary condition and the prisoners confined therein to be we'll cared for. We recommend that a fence be built around the jail so as to prevent persons on the outside. from assisting prisoners in escaping there from.
 In conclusion we desire to extend our thanks to the various county of ficials and their deputies for the assistance they have rendered us in our work.
 And having completed our labors we now respectfully ask to be final ly discharged.
 Respectfully submitted,
 W. s. MCLINTOCK, Foreman J. M. MCLINTOCK,

Dollar O Mile Fine
 For Auto Speeders

Police Judge John c. Williams is going to break up auto speeding in Marianna if stiff fines accom- piish the result. He stated to the Courier-Index man the other day that his policy will be a fine of a dollar a mile for all speeders brought before him. If the arrest ing officer testifies the driver was going thirty miles, the fine will be thirty dollars, says Judge Williams, and if the speeder feels disposed to make larger contribution to the city's exchequer he may do so oy driving little faster. The poilce judge hopes, however, there will be no occasion to enrich the city at the expense of auto drivers. What he wants to do is to serve notice tthat speeding must stop.
