brought prices ranging from 6
cents to 9 3-4 cents per pound,

It is conservatively estimat
ed that this co-operative ship
ment put $400 more money in
to the pockets of the shippeis
than if they had had to market
these animals in the usual man
ner. This alone, should be a
big reason why every farmer
should believe in and be a
member of the Independence
County Farm Bureau, for we
must not lose sight of the fact
that it was thw, <gb this organ
ization that this shipment was
made.
1 Every precaution is taken to
safeguard the shippers that
! participate in these shipments
: that would be taken by any in
dividual, and insurance is car
ried on every car cf livestock
■shipped. In the shipment from
|Sulphur Rock one hog died or
was killed, the car being un
leaded in St. Louis on Feb. 18,
and on February 22, reim
jbursc-ment was made to the
shipper by the insurance with
which the policy was taken.
The Farm Bureau or the
; shipping agent does not receive
anything fcr their services in
, the shipping of livestock co
operatively, but this is being
done to bring about a clearer
vision of co-operation between
the farmers, and it demon
strates the worth of a farmer’s
| organization.
Judge Jimerscm, shipping
agent for the Bureau, is enthu
siastic in his belief that the
Farm Bureau is going to be
the means of helping the farm
ers of Independence County in
mere ways than co-operative
marketing of livestock in 1921,
if every farmer will join the
Bureau, put his shoulder to the
wheel and help push.

PASSING YEARS KIND
TO OLD SWEETHEARTS
Mrs. Turtle Dove'Sturdivant
of Newark and Mr. Stephen C.
Beane of Hagerman, Tex.,
were married at high noon last
Monday at the parsonage of
the First Christian church in
Little Rock, the Rev. H. G.
Knowles officiating, the double
ring ceremony being used.
Mr. and Mrs. Beane arrived
in Newark Tuesday afternoon
and were given a six-o’clock
dinner at the home of Mr. and
Mrs- W. C. Edwards.
The affair was one of the
most elaborate ever given in
Newark and no event of the
kind in the entire history of
Newark was more genuinely
enjoyed by those present.
In addition to the bride and
groom those present were Mr.
and Mrs. E. C. Edwards, Mr.
and Mrs. W. C. Edwards, Dr.
and Mrs. A. A- Evans, Mr. anti
Mrs. Sam Barnett, Mr. and
Mrs. J. H. Ilolderby, Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Henderson, Mr.
and Mrs- O. F. Craig, Dr. V.
L. Pascoe and Ivis mother, Mrs.
Nan Pascoe, Mi's. JemutT Ed
wards, Mrs. Lizzie Pascoe, Miss
Birdie Hankins, E. E. Allen and
J. W. Sisk.
dhe wedding was quite a
pleasant surprise, to the many
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Beane,
and is the culmination of a ro
mance of their youth. Mr
Beane formerly resided in
Newark and he and his bride
were youthful sweethearts.
But the course of'human events
led them into separate paths,
and each married and went
their way. Mr. Beane went to
Texas where he has been suc
cessfully engaged in the mer
cantile business for a number
of years.
Time sped onward, and lat
er years found the youthful
sweethearts again single. One
day a letter was written.
Others quickly^followed. Soon
it was arranged that the two
meet in Little Rock. They had
not seen each other in sixteen
years, but it soon developed
that although he was not quite
so boyish, he was the same
Steve and she the same girl
who had been his boyhood
sweetheart. Cupid doesn’t
necessarily need a very large
quiver of arrows in a case like
that, so it was soon arranged
that they should call on the
minister.
After a brief sojourn with
friends in Newark, Mr- and
Mrs. Beane will leave for Hag
erman, Tex., where they will
make their home.
LINDSEY-BURNS
Walter Lindsey and Miss
Fay Burnes, splendid young
people of Magness, celebrated
Washington’s birthday by driv

Mrs. M. E. Burt where they
were married seated in their
buggy, Squire Burt performing
the ceremony.
The Journal joins their
many friends in extending con
gratulations and sincere good
wishes.

forms The Journal that if there
are enough farmers in this sec
tion interested, he will make a

est market price for their sur

GRAND JURY BREAKS
RECORD FOR 20 YEARS
Evening Shade, Feb. 22.—

August term. The work in the
court was completed in two
days, but the grand jury re
mained in session all the week.
Ninety-three witnesses were

ments returned. It is said that
many of these were for gamb
ling. This is by far the larg
est number of bills returned by
a grand jury in this district of
the county in 20 years.

NEW OFFICERS NOT
PERMITTED TO ACT
Election in Vaughan Township
Last Tuesday Held to be
Illegal
An election was held at
Paroquet Tuesday for the pur
pose of electing officers for the
new township recently created
by the county court, to be
known as Vaughan township.
A total of 9-1 votes were
polled, and the officers elected
were Oliver Edmondson and
H. E. Woodruff justices of the
peace, Lon Lovejoy constable,
and Henry Johnson road over
seer.
Certain citizens of Newark
have objected to the boundary
lines of the new township,
claiming they are unfair and
unjust. This matter is now
pending in the courts, an ap
al having been taken to the
circuit court from the decision
of the county court.
It is said that when a new
township is formed, the law re
quires an election to be held
within twenty days for the pur
pose of electing officers. It is
alleged that the election was
not held within the time limit
required by law and is there
fore void- Attorney S. C.
Knight for the objectors took
the matter before Judge Reed
er of the Chancery Court and
secured an injunction prohibit
ing the newly elected officers
from assuming office. So the
new officers are officers with
out an office pending 'further
adjudication of the matter in
the courts.
The matter will come up
again in circuit court when the
spring term of the court con
venes in April.
