CELEBRATES HIS
72ND BIRTHDAY
Prominent Citizen of Big Bottom
Enjoys Pleasant Anniver
sary Celebration
Life, with all its stern realities,
occasionally br^ks out in a halo
of joy and pleasure so resplendent :
the clouds vanish and we dwell in i
the realms of ecstac£ for a time.!
Perhaps the pleasant birthday
event at the home of Judge M.
L. Arnold on Tuesday of last week j
might have been a counterpart of j
this, as, seated in his easy chair at j
his comfortable country home, j
surrounded by his sons, daughters
and grandchidren, the recollections
of more than half a century came
before him in panorama, and filling
him with thankfulness. A grand
old-fashioned dinner w-as served
and the over-joyed judge forgot j
for the time being that he was
seventy-two years old. But like
the Psalmist of old he no doubt
felt that his lines had fallen in
pleasant places, and “not a wave
of trouble rolled across his peace
ful breast.” It is the wish of all
that this good citizen may live to
enjoy many more as pleasant birth
days, surrounded by his excellent
family all of whom were present
on this occasion except one son,
Jim, who is m Oklahoma.
Those present were: Mr. and
Mrs. Nat Wilson, Squire and Mrs.
W. H. Tomlinson, Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Hughes, Mrs. Martha Blay
lock, Mary Walker, Mrs. Bowman,
Mrs. Covington, Mrs. J. H. Hol
derby, Mrs. Lue Freeze, Lee Walk
er and faimly, Ed Tomlinson and
family, Dempse Freeze and family,
Dave Arnold and family, Luther
Travis and family, Forrest Arnold
and family, Mrs Rettie Jones, Mr.
and Mrs. G. M. Fields, Wilson and
Enos Tomlinson, Ben Cook, Miss
Fannie McDonald, Mrs. Maggie
Tuggle, Miss Morgan Tuggle,
Brevard Arnold, Miss Bess Arnold,
M. L. Arnold Jr., Hugh Travis and
Ed Upjohn. __
LIKES WOODEN HEN
Mr. Editor.— As the weather is
so bad I can’t go to Elgin to my
appointment today, I will write
you a few lines.
John Austin and Lee Porter
may wear the blue ribbon on duck
killing and Bro. Jernigan and Bro.;
Russell on eating fish, but when it
comes to eating baked duck, such
as Sister Austin had last Saturday
for dinner, I claim the ribbon.
But when it comes to wearing
the ribbon on hatching chickens
in an incubator, Mrs. W. F. Way
man is entitled to it. She set 100
eggs and hatched of 65 chickens. I
was once very prejudiced against
the incubator, but now my pre
judice is all removed, for you can
hatch more chickens with less
trouble and have bette results than j
you can with old hens. You can ;
hatch all you need in two or
three hatchings and dont have to
be worrying along all summer try
ing to hatch off a few chickens.
To hatch off 150 little chickens
you would have to set about 15
hens, and if you hatch in the in
cubator you can keep your hens
laying. Of course you have to
keep the machine to about the
same temperature all the time to
get good results, and of course it j
requires close attention. You can-!
not be successful and be careless.
If anyone can beat this in chicken
raising, I would like to hear from
them W. F. Wayman.

POSTCARD LEADS
TO HYMEN'S ALTAR
Prominent Young People Wed
After horming Acquantance
Through Postcard
A rather romantic marriage took
place in the office of Hon. Claud
M. Erwin at Newport Friday
night, in which Lester Hughes, a
prominent young druggist of Sul
phur Springs, and Miss Ruth Ed
wards, a popular young lady of
Newark were the contracting
parties.
Mr. Hughes and his bride had
never met until Friday morning,
when he arrived here from his
home, according to previous ar
rangement. The young lady and
Mr. Hughes had been in corespon
dence for some time, the corespon
dence having been first prompted
by Miss Fay Williamson of Elmo
who met Mr. Hughes while visit
ing in Sulphur Springs last sum
mer. The first missive that passed
between the young people was a
poscard, sent merely in fun at the
suggestion of Miss Williamson.
The postcard led to more serious
corresp mdence, and a few days
ago the young lady received a
message from Mr. Hughes that he
was coming to Newark. He ar
rived accordingly, Friday morn
ing, and proceeded at once to the
young lady’s home. Dan Cupid, it
seems, had in the meantime, been
busier than an Arkansas politician,
and had done his work so well
that when Mr. Hughes laid siege
at the heart of the young
lady it did not take him long to
induce her to accept him.
They left on the night train for
Newport where they were mar
ried, as above stated, and left at
once for Sulphur Srings where
they will make their home.

STATE-WIDE WORK
MAKING PROGRESS
Independence Still Leads in Num
ber of Signatures on Sub
mission Petition
Little Rock, March, 25. Now
that the initiation of the State
wide prohibition bill is a certain
ity, plans are being laid for the
campaign that is to be prosecuted
until the September election for
its adoption. Among the plans
proposed is the division of the
state into five districts, with a
superintendent in charge of each,
for the thorough canvassing of
the state.
Supt. Frank Barett has filed
since the last report 2500 more
names on the initiation petition,
making a total of 7400, or just half
enough. But it is the purpose of
the League to secure three or four
times as many signatures as re
quired by law, so that there may
be no doubt whatever of it. Re
ports are coming in by every mail.
Rev. C. F. Hively of Sulphur Rock
still leads in the number of names
secured, having turned in over
one thousand, from Independence
county alone. There are now over
four thousand blank petitions in
circulation over the state, and
more going out daily.
Since the last report meetings
have been held by the prohibition
workers at Warren, Earl, Parkin,
Richmond, Mineral Springs, Cen
ter Point, Foreman, Yellville,
Dumas, Florence, Selma, London,
Greenwood, Dardanelle, Mountain
Home, and Cotter.
Rev. Ben M. Bogard reports the
organization of a Boone County
State-wide Committee at Harrison,
with an enthusiastic support.
The annual convention of the
Anti-Saloon League will probably
be held at the Y. M. C. A. No for
mal program has been prepared,
but there will be speeches by “Cy
clone” Davis of Texas and all the
state workers, with reports of the
officers.
CARD OF THANKS
I desire to return my sincere
and heartfelt thanks to the good
people in Charlotte neighborhood
for their attentive and kind ser
vices during the sickness of my
| dear wife, who departed this life
March 2, 1912. I never shall for
I get their kindness. May God bless
them all Respectfully,
W. M. Kent.
