COOPERATIVE MADE HIM MONEY
Man Regrets That AssOcia-
 ton Can't Market All His Cotton.

Little Rock, Jan. 21.-That he suffer- ed loss of at least S25 a bale by be- ing forced to sell 100 bales of cotton outside the Arkansas Cotton Growers |Co-Operative Association, was the statement made in letter received at the association offices from J. c. Spence of Marianna yesterday.
 MT. Spence is a member of the as- sociation and markets all the cottol. that he actually raises through the as- sociation but, for business reasons, was forced to sell 100 bales that he had bought outside the association. He ex- pressed his regret as follows:
 "I am sorry that have been forced to sell on the market here 100 bales of our cotton, for we have not realized anything like the prices that you have given me on practically the same cot ton I will say further that if there is any way possible for the associa- tion to get all our cotton next year, I certainly want them to handle it for you are giving at least $25 bale more than we are realizing"

MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION
 SALES DAY A SUCCESS
Will Be Continued Monthly and Many Other Firms Will Participate
 In It.

Saturday, the date of the Merchants Association cooperative sales, was a gloomy day from a weather standpoint the sky overcast and wet underfoot but notwithstanding this the crowds were good and business all over town was lively. The merchants generally were delighted with the volumn of business done. Practically all of them had offered special bargains for the day on certain articles No two of them had offered the same specials In this way the customers had a wide range covering the many things that he might be in need off and on which he could save money. We have it from the various firms that these specials went like hot cakes and much other seasonable merchandise as well. The plan proved popular one with the buyers from the response which they made to it.
 There are many new applications by local firms to participate in the nex, sales day. This is proof enough that the plan is success. Those who were for the plan in the beginning are for it stronger than ever

Registered Jerseys for
 Little River County

N. c. McCrary, director of the Third District Agricultural School, located at Magnolia, accompanied by Geo. H. Hatcher. A. L. Fomby and County Farm Agent, A. F. Scheid, made a trip to the school last week where they inspected herd of registered Jersey COWS and heifers for sale by the col lege.
 They hope to be able to place the entire herd among the farmers of the county who are interested in more and better dairy cows. Farmers in need of these Jerseys would do well to get in touch with either of these men at once.
 This is fine opportunity for one or more farmers to get into the dairy business which means an income for him every day of the week. The best farms, healthiest and most prosperous people are found in communities where dairying is highly developed.

BOLD, BAD BANDITS
 STAGE LOCAL HOLDUp
Hold up Restaurant for Couple of Breakfasts and Sack Bull Durham
 Are Caught.

Ashdown had all the thrills of a holdup and bandit chase through the streets Tuesday morning after two bold, bad bandits, aged about twenty, had held up Mrs. Carlton Brewer at the Aemrican Cafe and escaped with a couple of breakfasts under their vests and a sack of Bull Durham smoking tobacco. The boys were soon found hiding in the seed house at the oil mill and lodged in jail. One of them was, armed with a Colts fl.
 Mrs. Brewer stated that boys came into the restaurant and ordered a breakfast and after eating rose and one called for a sack of tobacco, which she gave him. It was then that the wild and wooly western stuff was pulled. One of them hauled out his Al and said: "We will let you off with that" Mrs. Brewer stood and looked at them as they backed out and ran. Carlton, who was in the rear, followed unarmed and others joined in the chase. They were sighted at the Fris- co crossing near the News office, where they again displayed their heavy artillery. After losing them in the Frisco yards MT. Brewer came back and he and O. D. Turner armed with guns resumed the chase and soon found the two amateur Bill Harts hid ing in the seed house. They were taken gun and all and lodged in jail. They did not give their names but said they were from Alabama and Indiana respectively. The law in this state does not prescribe a sound spanking for stunts like this, but it would doubtless be found meritorious, even if undignifed.
