KILLS BABY BROTHER
Two-Year-Old Son of C. W. Hobbs
Accidentally Shot by Brother.
Cord, Jan. 23.—Harold the two
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. C.
W. Hobbs of this place was acci
dentally shot and killed by his
eight-year-old brother a few days
ago. The older brother was play
ing with a pistol, and in playful
glee pointed it at his little brother,
saying “Look here, Harold.”
Just as the baby turned, he pulled
the trigger, not knowing the pistol
was loaded, and it was discharged,
the ball penetrating the baby’s
right lung and killing him almost
instantly. The fearful accident
shocked the entire community,
and the bereaved parents have the
sympathy of aii.
Rev. Thompson tilled his regular
appointment at Hopewell church
Sunday and despite the unfavor
able weather a pretty good crowd
assembled and listened to an inter
esting sermon.
Dr. V. D. McAdams had the
misfortune of getting his horse
severely cut on some barbed wire
one day last week.
Percy Melton and Neil North
cut are sporting some new saddles.
Look out girls they are looking
for a “bell.”
Elder J. I. Martin, who is in
the state mission work, spent a
day or so with his family last
week.
Mrs. Mat Bishop was visiting
friends and relatives at this place
last week.
\V, A. Parr made a business
trip to Newark Saturday.
Health is reasonably good in
this community.
NOTICE TO LOO AN CHURCH

tor for the ensuing year and con
sidering a proposition for selling

ARKANSAS RAISING HOGS
A good corn crop and the high
prices paid for hogs have had the
effect of arousing much interest in
hog raising in Arkansas. Not on
ly are our farmers raising hogs,
but they are giving more attention
to improving the quality of their
herds. Conditions in this State
are ideal for the production of
cheap pork, and Arkansas should
rank among the leading swine
States. We note that the Nation
al Feeders and Breeders’ Show at
Fort Worth, Texas, March 13 to
18, is offering big premiums to
hog raisers, and Arkansas ought
to get in the contest and capture
some of that money. A single
hog may win $275, if a Duroc
Jersey; $250, if a Berkshire; $195,
if a Poland-China, and $175 if a
Tamworth. We would be proud
to record the fact, later on, that
an Arkansas farmer had brought
some of this money home.
BEARING GETS CLERKSHIP
Hon. T. H. Hearing cf this
place has been elected to four
committee clerkships in the legis
lature now in session in Little
Bock, as follows: Temperance,
Elections, Insurance, and Public
Buildings and Grounds.
Mr. Hearing was a candidate
for sergeant-at-arms of the senate
and lacked only one vote of being
elected, but after the committee
appointments were made he was
chosen as clerk of the committees
mentioned. The clerkships pay
better than the position of ser
geant-at-arms. Mr. Hearing was
formerly circuit clerk in this
county and is capable of making
good in most any position.
HE GOT THE BOOZE
On a crowded train recently a
inan rushed into the smoker and
said: “Has anybody in the car
any whiskey! A woman in the
car behind has fainted.” Instant
ly dozens of flasks were produced.
The man who asked for it picked
out the largest one, drew the cork
and put the bottle to his lips.
With a long satisfied sigh he hand
ed the flask back and remarked:
“That did me a lot of good; I
needed it, for it always makes me
feel queer to see a woman faint.”
OLD ROHANCE REV IVED
John W. Johnson of Xenia, 1).,
and Mrs. Sarah Herrington of
Oklahoma City met by appoint
ment in Little Rock yesterday and
were married late yesterday after
noon by Rev. ,1. X. Jessup of the
First Christian church at the par
sonage. It is said that the two
were old sweethearts and that yes
terday’s wedding was the culmin
ation of a romance of many years'
standing. They will make their
j home in Batesvillc.—Arkansas Ga

IMPROVE I.O.O, F. HOME
But Batesville Must Furnish Fire
Protection and Ligrht
A joint, mooting of the trustees
of the Shirey estate, which wa»
bequeathed to the I. O. O. F.
Grand Lodge of Arkansas by A.
W. Shirey, and the Orphans’
Home Board Committee was held
at Fort Smith a few days ago to
discuss various matters, including
the improvement of the home at
Batesville and the establishment of
an industrial school near Walnut
Ridge. The members of the com
mittees agreed unanimously in
the Batesville matter, and senti
ment was strong for the establish
ment of the industrial school. The
plans were not completed and will
be considered further at another
meeting in the future.
But it is said that the improve
ment of the Home at Batesville
rests with the citizens of that
place. It has been contemplated
by the Odd Fellows to make im
provements on the Home which
will cost 1(115,000, but unless the
citizens of Batesville make a num
ber of concessions this will not be
done. The concessions asked are
free water, free light and ample
tire protection. At present the
lodge pays for the water and the
lights, and the officers claim that
the home has no tire protection.
The members of the Home
Board present at the meeting were:
Dr. E. H. Stevenson, president,
of Fort Smith; Dr. Floyd of Eu
reka Springs and Dr. Sullivan of
Waldron. The members of the
trustees of the Shirey estate pres
ent were: Grand Master Stuckey
of Newport, Past Grand Master
Louis Josephs of Texarkana and
Grand Secretary Paul of Newport.
