COUPLE CELEBRATE
GOLDEN WEDDING
Judge and Mrs. M. L. Arnold
Celebrate, Surrounded by
Fiiends of Their Youth
On this page is a splendid
likeness of Judge and Mrs.
M. L. Arnold who celebrated
their golden wedding anni
versary at their home near
town on June 11.
A golden wedding is an
event that comes to very few
people and Judge Arnold and
his splendid wife are to be
congratulated upon having
attained the great privilege
of enjoying this happy event,
surrounded as they were on
this occasion by their large
family of sons, daughters and
grand children.
It is often true that we
build more wisely than we
know, and as one looks back
anti views the retrospective
from this happy event, the
thought comes that this is
true of this splendid old
couple.
We know that most young
people think that love belongs
only with brown hair and
plump, round, rosy cheeks.
So it does for its beginning,
just as the towering Mount
Washington begins at Boston
bay. But the golden marri
age is a part of love which
the bridal day knows.but lit
tle of. Youth is the tassel and
silken flower of love—age is
the full grown fruit, ripened
and mellowed by the passing
years.
Beautiful is the morning of
love, with its prophetic vision,
with its hopes, aspirations and
optimism. Beautiful also is
the evening of love, with its
glad remembrances, and with
its rainbow side turned to
ward Heaven as well as to
ward earth.
Judge Arnold is a more
noble character, a better man
and a better citizen for his
fifty years of association with
the little slip of a girl to whom
he was married when she was
sci rcely sixteen years old.
And she has become a nobler
woman for having his man
hood beside her.
Together they have tasted
and enjoyed life’s greatest
blessings. They can look
back upon a life well spent
and as they view the retro
spective there are no grim re
grets.
A splendid wedding supper
was served on this occasion,
to which many of the friends
of their youth were invited
and the event was nfade one
of real rejoicing. Rainy
weather interfered somewhat
in carrying out all the plans
and prevented many attend
ing who desired to do so, but
the event was made a real
old fashioned wedding feast
with an “infair” dinner the
next day, and it is safe to say
that no event of the kind in
the entire history of the com
munity was more enjoyed.

LONGEST TRESTLE ON
ROAD TO BE FILLED
List & Gifford of Kansas
City have been awarded a con
tract to fill the Georges Creek
trestle, a few miles north of
Yellville on the White River
division, and equipment will
be put on the location this
week. This is the longest
bridge on the White River
road, being nearly half a mile
long and approximately 100
feet high in the highest place.
It is a modern structure with
a steel span, about 200 feet
long, in the center. Fills will
be made to the ends of the
steel span on both sides. It
will probably take six work
trains to handle the job,
which will put every available
man on the division to work.
NEIGHBORLY VISITS
The good old practice of
visiting neighors in the coun
try should be revived. We do
not appreciate our neighbors
as we should; they do not un
derstand our motives as they
might, if we visited oftener.
How we miss the finer quali
ties of character in neighbors
by not entering their homes
and having them sit at our
tables and enjoy the pleasures
and comforts of diversified
farming!
The most indifferent neigh
bor in the community may
respond to your invitation to
“come over,” and a few hours
in his presence in your home
may make a lasting impression
upon him. There is very lit
tle fault in the worst of neigh
bors if one knows them. And
most of them have some good
trails.—Farm and Ranch.

NEWPORT CREAMERY
NEEES RAW MATERIAL
Local Farmer* Unable to Sup
ply Demand and Milk
Must be Shipped in
Newport, June 27—A meet
ing of local creamery officials
was held here Saturday for
the purpose of making ' ar
rangements to secure a great
er amount of butterfat for the
manufacture of butter and ice
cream in this city, the demand
being in excess of the amount
the company has been able to
procure. In order that more
may be secured, the local
company has negotiated with
producers in several counties
to pool their shipments, and is
offering them at all times four
cents per pound for their milk
and cream above St. Louis and
Chicago prices, also paying
express charges.
F. L. Bleakley, superintend
ent of the local creamery, has
received orders from the farm
bureau of the Texarkana
Chamber of Commerce for
cans in which first shipments
of cream from the Texarkana
territory to Newport are to be
made. Shipments from that
section are expected to be
large and will help to supply
the demand here. The New
port creamery is supplying
the demand for butter and ice
cream in several towns in this
section, but cannot fill other
orders that continue to come
in.
MANY WILL SEE FIGHT
The arena built for the
Dempsey-Carpentier fight, at
Jersey City has a seating ca

that every seat is already sold
