Lyceum Course

POcahOntas will be fortunate enough
to have a good lyceum course this fall.
The Midland Lyceum Circuit Of Des
MOines, Iowa, has signed nO-guaran-
tee contract with the High School and
the Senior Glass is going to take the
matter in charge The Seniors will
get anything that may be made over
and above the contract price. In case
the amount of the contract is not reali-
zed, the school will not lose; the Ly-
ceum Company will take the loss.
The course will consist of four num-
bers. They will be given two in No
vember and two in December. The
Midland Lyceum people have good
commercial rating and there is no like
lihood of them not keeping their part of
the contract. The school is to furnish
six assistants for two days when it
comes time to make canvass for the
season tickets. Surely we will be able
to make this course go this year.

Survey Dam Site

Poplar Bluff, Mo, Oct ia survey
of the site for the proposed hydro
electric and flood control dam just
north of Poplar Bluff on Black river
was conducted recently by local inter
ests and Robert |. Randolph, Chicago
engineer. The project is promoted by
a large number of owners near here as
a flood control measure.
With the construction of the pro-
posed dam. it is now proposed by w.
H. Meridith to construct hydro cleo
tric plant at the dam. Representa-
tives of a power company were in the
party inspecting the site. The dam
would cost approximately $4,000,000.
The dam. it is said, would prevent
floods all down Black river, the plan
being to store the water during flood
time and release it gradually after the
rains have passed

A meeting of all the officials OF the

ing committee and all those who have

three ribbons at the state fair at Little

Butler, who is training him for the
field trials at Stuttgart next month.
DR.. Butler took the setter to Little
Rock and after the awards had been
announced wrote Mr.. Thompson that
only his timidness because of his
youth prevented him from taking first
prize of all settlers. As it was he re-
ceived the purple and white ribbon,
which represents second place; the
green ribbon, which represents best
for male or female of his class; the
blue ribbon, which represents the best
of all male dogs which had never be-
fore been shown on the bench.
The value of the dog was placed by
the judges at $500.

Win From ImbOden

The Poca Iii football team is fast
rounding into shape after getting of
to poor start. The boys went to
lmboden last Friday and defeated the
Sloan-Hendrix team of that city by a
score Of 22-O.
The Imboden boys are fast, husky
youngsters, led by Hite Knots, form
er Poca Iii player, but they never had
a chance against Poca. Stewart Hogan,
new man from Maynard. was given
an end position In POca's defense line
and the Lawrence county boys didn't
make gain around him. Johnny
Hughes neld down the other end and
played his usual excellent game. He
' was always across the line and tear
ing up interference as soon as the ball
was snapped back and repeatedly
threw the Imboden backfield for great
losses.
Throgmorton. captain and halfback,
didn't have a chance to show his stuff.
Imboden was prepared for him and
had two or three men after him on
every play, whether he had the ball
or not. Howard did his stuff in kick
ing off, however, each time booting
the ball to the ten yard line or further.
ToltOn Lemmons and Joe Blanken-
ship, full and quarter respectively, did
the big work of the backfleld in often
sive work each showing up well on
both line plunges and broken field
running
POca kicked off and Imboden was
held on its ten yard line. Poca took
the ball but bad pass from center
lost ten yards. For several minutes
the ball see-sawed between Imboden's
goal line and their twenty-yard line.
The quarter ended with the ball on
lmbOden's five yard line in possession
of Poca.
Blankenship carried the ball over
on dash through tackle. Imboden
again received but was held and
punted. Blankenships fumbled the
punt but Lemmons recovered and
wormed his way for several yards in
as pretty a piece Of broken field run

Mr.. Terry, father of Alfred Terry,
Lesterville merchant, lost an arm one
day recently while a passenger on a
cahOntas-JonesbOro bus.
The accident occurred near Egypt
when Mr.. Terry was en- route to his
home at Marmaduke after visit with
his son. He had his arm hanging out
over a window and n Chevrolet coupe,
driven by ID. H. Osborn of Walnut
Ridge, scraped the side of the bus,
grinding the old mans arm between
the two machines.
Mr.. Osborn took the injured man
back to Walnut Ridge where he re-
ceived medical attention and later was
removed to Jonesboro where the arm
was amputated.
