Nates From Imboden
Mr. Editor.—The farmers of our
- section are keeping an eye on the
. weather conditions for an early
r planting, and are in a very hope
ful mood.
r There is a large acreage of wheat
1 in our community, and Imboden is
preparing to take care of the (
1 wheat crop by putting in two
i mills. So we expect to have bis
. cuits for breakfeast, at least.
Hardy is talking mill, also. If
i the mills will be run on the old
t fashion plan, and give the farmer
his flour, seconds, shorts and bran
1 it will encourage the farmers to
; raise wheat.
We have had a great deal of
sickness, mostly pneumonia, and '
much of it has been fatal.
Our Sloan Hendrix Academy is
! doing the best work in the history
of the school. Prof. J. C Eaton,
, assisted by three other competent
( teachers, is teaching the young
idea how to shoot, and also teach
ing the young shoots how to idea. 1
Our church work is progressing '
nicely. We have a large Sunday
school, a well-attended prayer
meeting and fine congregations at .
the regular preaching hours.
We are all happy over the en- ,
I actment of the state wide prohibi- |
I tion law. Now let old Arkansas
I become New Arkansas, and with
I the steady step of the conqueror :
| maintain sobriety in every city,
! town and community of our great :
commonwealth.
I can remember when one could
not travel but a very few miles in ;
any direction in Independence ;
comity without running up on a I
rum shop. Hut they are gone, and ;
| gone to stay. And under the rule
i of sobriety there has grown up a
sober and industrious set of young
men who are leading in church, ,
school and other needful and pro- j
(■ gressive enterprises; and their pos
) terity will never know the evils j
of the open saloon. Good! Great
indeed are these vast and far
reaching achievments for the bet
^ terment of mankind.
,! Again, I can remember when
we could not have a gathering,
social or otherwise, that there was
not some one there drunk. Some :
had an idea that “logs rolled bet- '
ter” if there was a little John 1
Barleycorn to whoop things up 1
But these customs are gone, too, ’
never to return. Then there were -1
very few school houses, and also
a scarcity of churches. Now both
: are plentiful and are liberally sup
I ported.
We are still reading war news, (
1 i most of which seems to be some 1
what like the old game of“club fist, J
take it off or I’ll knock it off,” 1
‘ with today one side winning and *
tomorrow the other side winning. ,
' When will it end? That is a ques- ?
j tion the most wise and sagacious j
; cannot answrer.
Wishing peace and good cheer;!
;! to all, lam, Cordially,
Jas. F. Jkrnigan.
Imboden, Arkansas.
DEFEAT DOWoY BILL
