SELLS COTTON CROP
FOR $90 PER ACRE
Joe Melton broke all records
tor cotton values a few days
ago when he sold three acres
of cotton in the field for $270.
Melton had three acres of
cotton on E. E. Allen’s farm,
east (1 town and sold it in the
field for $270. When he re
ported to Mr. Allen what he
had done, Mr. Allen is report
ed to have become somewhat
excited and demaned to know
of Mr. Melton what he meant
by selling the crop and “throw
ing in the land” without con
sulting him about it. Melton
finally succeeded in explaining
to Mr. Allen that he had not
sold the land, but had only
sold the crop and was report
ing to him so he could hold the
new owner responsible for the
rent.
Ninety dollars an acre fir a
cotton crop in the field is a
pretty good price and breaks
all records for crop values in
Independence county.

Loan Drive Next Week
Committees have been ap
pointed and everything is in
readiness for the big Liberty
Loan drive which opens Satur
day.
Saturday and Sunday are
Volunteer Days and every per
son who is able to buy a bond
should see some member of the
committee or go to the bahk on
cne of the Volunteer Days and
take all the bonds they can pay
for, without waiting to be so
licited by the committee. Peo
ple who can buy bonds should
join the Volunteers and show
their patriotism. •
Mrs. W. W. Jernigan chair
man of the Ladies’ Division,
has apponted the following la
dies as solicitors for Rig Bot
tom township.
Mrs. t. U. Hoyt, Mrs. J. I.
Sturdivant, Mrs. E. W. Mag
ness, Mrs. Lucille Rozier and
Mrs. ,Chas. L. Welborn.
The ladies are free to work
in any part of the township
they may desire but the men
are restricted to the terriory
for which they are appointed.
The committees appointed
by G. O. Magness, township
sales director, are as follows:
For District No. 1, north of j
Ihe railroad and west of Thom
as Creek.—B. S. Arnold and
N. D. Freeze.
District No. 2 north of rail
road between Main street and
Thomas Creek.—G. M. Fields,
T. M. Ratton and W. E. Self.
District No. 3, north of rail
road and east of Main street.—
Rev. J. E. Snell, C. M. Ed
wards and D. C. Lane.
District No. 4, south of rail
road to school district 35.—W.
F. Sisk and B. R. (Clark.
District No. 5, comprising all
of School District No. 35.—J.
P. Williams, D. C. Selvidge
and Henry Johnson,
District No. 6, comprising all
of Sschool District No. 91.—W.
R. Bray and J. B. Hodges.
Mr. Magness is out of town
at present and will probably
not return until Sunday, but he
has left a supply of cards, ap
plication blanks, etc. in charge
of Rev. J. E. Snell at J. M.
Martin’s store, where they may
be procured by the solicitors at
any time they may call for
same.
An effort will be made by
the solicitors to see every citi
zeu of the township, but no
one should wait to be solicited.
The 28th and 29th are volun
teer days and every patriotic
citizen should call on some
member of the committee on
these days and make a volun
tary subscription, instead of
waiting to be solicited. The
government needs money and
must have money, to prosecute
the war against the blighting
hand of Prussianism, and ev
ery man who can get the mon
ey should promptly buy a bond
on Volunteer Day.

(Continued from page one)
pack on your back isn’t very
funny, and we have some of it
to do.
The officers tell us that by
the time we land in France we
will have all kinds of bugs on
us, but they say it isn’t any dis
grace to have them if you try
to keep them off. So I guess
our nicknames will be bugs.
When I get to Berlin I will try
to write a little more then and
tell how I went over the top,
for I feel like I will get to try
it, and believe I will be lucky.
I am assigned to a squad of
grenade throwers, if they don’t
change me again. But they put
us in different places every
day, or it seems like it is every
day.
Boys, if any of you are left
to come yet, my advice is for
you to snap into it and do what
you are told to do and try to
be the first one out when the
whistle blows. You will get by
easier than those who drag;
the slow ones catch all the ex
tra duty. I feel like I have
been lucky all the way through
and hope I continue. All the
Arkansas boys are rated as
good soldiers. So I will close as
I know nothing much to write.
If this is thrown in the waste
basket I will come again and
try to do better. I am fine and
in good health; weigh 143
pounds. Weighed only 116
when I landed in Camp Shelby.
Good luck to all.
