REDUCED RAILROAD FARES
Once more we have reduced rail
| road fares for conventions of various
kinds. One of the first to be held in
Little Rock to get the benefit of these
rates is the thirty-second annual state
convention'of the Arkansas Sunday
School Association, which will be held
there April 20-22. The railroads have
granted a rate of one fare and a
third on the certificate plan.
It is announced that a trophy will
be awarded to the County Association
of which there are 42 in the state,
whose delegates travel the greatest
, mileage in attending the state Con
vention. This trophy will remain for
one year in the possession of the coun
ty winning it. The mileage will he
determined by multiplying the num
i t! of delegates from the county by
the distance in miles from Little Rock
which will make it perfectly fair for
I' counties, whether near or remote.
County conventions are being held
throughout the state beginning this
week, and efforts will be made to in
duce a large attendance. It is ex
pected that as a result of the en
thusiasm that will be aroused by
these conventions, the state will be
thoroughly organized by the time of
the 1921 convention.
An unusually attractive program
is being prepared for the state con
vention, and some of the nation’s
most celebrated Sunday School work
■ 1 s will be heard in practical discus
sions of the many important problems
eonfr nting the Sunday Schools and
the churches of the country. Such an
array of talent has never before been
seen in Arkansas, and Secretary
Frank L. James and his associates
have been especially fortunate in se
eurh.g such men as H. A. Pearce, M.
A. M< nline, Dr. VV. E. Chalmers, W.
C. Pearce, Dr. Wm. A. Brown, and
such great women leaders as Mrs.
Mary Foster Bryner.

Gibson were married at the home of
the bride’s father, D. C. Gibson near
Sulphur Rock, last Sunday afternoon

Lean and is a splendid young man of
terii. g worth and ability. He has
been employed for some time in the
office of Kelly F. Gibson at Broken
t Arc w, Okla. The bride is a most
estimable young lady, and is a daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Gibson.

Grow Your Living
and a Cotton Crop
"m
Nineteen twenty wli be the great
est year of Ute great South!
There will be such’a wavy of busi
ness, of prosperity as has never been
dreamed of for the Southern farmer,
the merchant, the banker.
The day of cotton is at hand! No
longer will the cotton farmer feed
himself out of the scpply man’s tin
cans and pork barrel entil at the end
of the year he owes his whole crop.
Instead, he will grow better cotton
on less acreage, and on the rest of
his farm he will raise his own fruit,
his own vegetables, his o\wi meat.1
Jst hen, when hi» cotton is picked,
baled he will get a good price and
will have soiny surplus money.
. This' hank stands for that kind of
fuming—because that kind of farm
ers wil have money to put into the
bank at the end1 of the veer.
The Southern farmer who grows
cotton and food and feed is the farm
er who will have a bank account this
year! \ . ,

Bl.NCH HELPS FARM
DRIVE IN MISSOURI
County Agent, Leland Bunch, was
in PemisCot County, Missouri and
participated in their Farm Bureau
membership drive last week. The
membership fee in Missouri is $5.00
per year and every county organized
has from 600 to 1400 members. The
state has a federation of Farm Bu
reaus that bids fair to be a powerful
force for the farmer in that state in
the near future. Arkansas can and
must have such an orgainzation
whose sole business is to fight the
battles of the farmer. No farmer
should neglect to join the Indepen
dence County Farm Bureau.

THE LAST ROLL CALL
Dear Mr. Editor.—If you will al
I l°w me a little space in The Journal,
1 will try to write a few words that
may interest some of your readers,
especially those who have been asso
ciated with me as a public school
teacher.
Twenty-six years ago, at Mt. Zion
(the old log house) I called the roll
the first time. Today, at Oakland, I
called it the last time.
Great and many have been the
changes during this period of time.
Many families have been completely
broken up never to be reunited in this
world.
I have taught forty-two terms:
Places and number of terms at each
as follows: Mt. Zion 2; Logan school
house 3; Oakland, 17; Oak Hill, 3;
Paroquet, 4; Duekpuddle, 1; Scotty,
9; Texans, 3.
I can think of a few of my first
pupils who are now grandfather and
grandmother, but at present will call
them my boys and girls. They arc
scattered over thousands of miles,
many, I know not where.
I can count forty-five that have
crossed the cold Jordan of death,
among them one of my own boys.
Probably others I know nothing
about.
Several little boys and girte who
attended my school, at Oakland this
winter, are children of my boys and
girls of by-gone da^s.
I taught my first term of school
at Oakland (my home district) twen
ty-two years ago.
My career as teacher is at an end.
1 have given the best part of my life
to teaching. I have nothing much to
show for it except poverty and old
age, but 1 hope my efforts have not
been in vain in every respect. I can
not refrain from saying that I am
greatly indebted to my dear wife,
who has patiently and lovingly borne
the hardships and inconveniences of
a country' school teacher’s wdfe for a
quarter of a century, and has shared
with me thc joys and sorrows of life
for twenty-nine long years.
Boys and girls, let me say in con
clusion that we’ll never meet again
as teacher and pupils.' We have, ex
perienced our last roll call in this life
but let us sb live that “When the
Roll is ^allgd up Yonder” we’ll meet
to part no moreNow, I’ll bid one
and all an affectiteate farewell.
your old teacher,
B. F. CASH.
