Oldest Woman in
Manchester Votes

Mrs. Huldah Fifield. the oldest
woman in Manchester, manifested
her good judgment and courage last
Monday by going to the polls and
casting her first BALLOT. Although
Mrs. Fifleld passed her SSth birthday
last May and does not enjoy the best
of health physically, she is still much
interested in the progress and welfare
Of her native State. She remarked
that day that it had been several
years since she had taken so long
a ride.
She attends to her household with
the help of her son who has always
resided with her and is great COM
fort to her in her declining years. 1t
is sincerely hoped Mrs. Fifield will
meet her towns people on many more
similar occasions.

The announcement that the Ar
kansas Press ASSOCIATION will give a
speechless banquet on the occasion
of Its Jubilee Convention In Little

able attention. There are those who
are so irreverant as to suggest that
1t cannot be done, but the officers
of the association are determined to
demonstrate that In this day of mir.
acles even the impossible can be ac
complished.
Bandits, holdup artists and other
like gentry who are accustomed to
committing crimes against banks,
have been placed upon the black list
by the Bankers Associ stiOn So
frequent did these crimes become
and so great has been the increase in

Just been announced by the sssocla'
tion which offers $500 reward for
the arrest of any person robbing or
attempting to rob a bank that is a
member of the association. This
is made possible by small assess

the agreement and the especial pro-
tectIve rewards committee will draw
on each bank for s2 for each criml-
