A CLUB BOOSTER
You can never tell what a
girl will do next. Any boy
^1 verify that statement,
But when they start to do it,
whatever it is—in real earnest
_the boys want to take
notice for things are going tc
happen.
Whtn little miss uminne
Osborne of Howell began her
club work three years ago, she
was really earnest about it.
So many kinds of club work
interested her that she just
decided to do about all ot
them. No doubt she is one ot
the busiest little persons in
Arkansas.
The first year her grade hog
took first prize at the county
fair. It was eleven months
old and weighed 415 pounds.
Her garden was fine, too, but
perhaps the pig had “hogg
ed” her attention so that her
canning exhibit received sec
ond prize. She sold canned
products from her garden,
however, amounting to $150.
00. Emiline found time for
sewing club work and took
third prize for first year work.
The second year, the coun
ty agent helped Emiline se
cure a registered Duroc pig.
When she was exhibited at
the Tri-State Fair at Memphis
that fall, the first prize for
Arkansas was awarded. In
December, the sow brought
eleven pigs and raised eight.
Five of them sold for $25.00
each and Emiline will ship the
other three in a co-operative
shipment of hogs this fall
The garden was not so good
that year but considering the
Iack of rain, the $30.00 profit
Realized was very good.
inis year, the prize sow
fought eleven more pigs and

BOB SIMMONS DROWNED
News was received here
Monday evening of a sad ac
cident which cost the life of
ne of our oldest and best citi
zens—-Mr. R. J. “Boh” Sim
mons who was drowned in
the overflow of White River,
near his home west of Greg
ory’s Point.
Mr. Simmons lost his life
when he attempted to ride his
mule across a slough. The
i water was about eight feet
| deep and it is supposed he
became seperated from his
animal when the saddle girth
broke while the mule was
swimming. He could not
swim and when the mule re
turned home alone, a search
was begun. His hat was
found floating on the wiater
! and his body was found by
dragging.
Mr. Simmons for many
years lived near McCrory. He
was 60 years of age and
leaves a wife and six chil
dren. The remains were laid
to rest in the cemetery at Au-1
gusta.
Mr. Jacob Arnof spent
Thanksgiving with his friend
(?) in New Orleans.
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Webb
left Wednesday to spend Tur
key Day in Magnolia.
Mr. E. D. Marsh, of Hick
ory Ridge, was here Wednes
day and Thursday on a visit
to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Marsh.
Messrs Wade Jeffries and
T. J. Fakes went to Nashville,
Tenn., this week to witness
the football game Thursday
between Vanderbilt and Se
wanee.
Dr. B. Brewster spent Tues
day in Fordyce with his
father and mother, Mr. and
Mrs. J. B. Brewster, on the
event of their fiftieth wedding
anniversary.
can have plenty of room to
work.
The most important thing
about Emiline’s work is that
she is in “honest-to-goodness”
earnest and “loves it”. She
has attended the short course
at Jonesboro the last two
years and found “that there is
so much to learn.” “I can’t
tell you just how dear the club
work is to me and I love Mrs.
Williamson and Mr. Webb,
the county agents, who have
been so nice to me.” !
Emiline is twelve years old.
Maybe that is a secret but she j
did not say not to tell. She is |
doing worth-while things be
cause she is in earnest and
loves her work—a concrete
example that every club boy
and girl may well remember.
