* SENATOR RANEY
FOR COMMISSIONER
Popular Ssnator From this Dis
trict Probable Candidate to
Succeed Bellamy
Senator T. J. Raney arrived
home a few days ago from Little
Rock, where he ably and faith
fully served the people of this
district in the legislature and won
for himself signal honors.
Senator Raney is recognized as
one of the strongest men and best
organizers in the last senate. He
took a prominent part in the pro
ceedings of that body, and it was
due to his influence that many of
the best bills of the session were
passed.
Senator Raney is being urged
by friends all over the district to
enter the race for railroad com
missioner to succeed Maj. G. W.
Bellamy, who is now serving his
second term. He has the matter
under advisement and will likely
announce in due time. Senator
Raney is well and favorably known
throughout the district, having
covered every county in the dis
trict during the past few years
since he became general state
agent for the Planters Insurance
Company. His extensive acquaint
ance throughout the district, to
gether with his ability as an or
ganizer will make him a formid
able candidate should he decide to
enter the race.
CLEAN-UP PROCLAMATION
I, E. H. Williamson, as Mayor of
the Town of Newark, Arkansas,
designate and proclaim, Wednes
day, April 2, 1913, as general clean
up day in the town of Newark.
We kindly ask all families to clean
up all old rubbish lying around
their homes and burn the same.
And such as old cans you are re
quested to please crush, so they
will not hold water to create mos
quitos. It is further requested by
the Civic Improvement Club that
all toilets throughout the town be
mulched heavily with ashes or
lime. Ashes is something every
family has, and our Town would
be much benefitted if they were
used more freely in the outhouses.
Given under my hand this 10th
day of March 1913.
E. H. Williamson, Mayor.

LEAVES HOME AND
CANNOT BE FOUND
Former Newark Citizen Strange
ly Missing From Home in
Van Buren County
J. L. Cannady, formerly of this
place and who was married to
Miss Addie Marshall here about
six years ago, has mysteriously
disappeared from his home in Van
Buren county and no trace of him
can be found.
He and his family were living
near Bee Branch. On the 11th of
November he left home one morn
ing, telling his wife that he was
going down near Wooster, a small
town some 30 miles away, to see
about renting land. That is the
last seen of him by any of his fam
ily, although a few days later his
brother received a postcard from
him, mailed at Conway, saying
that he was not coming back.
It is said that there wras never
any trouble between Cannady and
his wife, but that they got along
well, and he seemed very fond of
his children. He has three child
ren, a boy past five years old,
a girl four years old, and a baby
19 months old. His family and
his parents are unable to account
for his strange disappearance.
Cannady was 33 years old, was
about six feet in height, weighed
about 150 pounds, had blue eyes,
light hair and always went clean
shaven. He had about $25 or $30
in money when he left home.
Cannady was born and reared
near Batesviile, but worked
around Newark several years.
His wife was reared here, but they
left here some four years ago and
have since made their home near
Bee Branch and Martinsville, in
Van Buren and Faulkner counties.

HUNTING FOR FLAWS
IN THE LIQUOR LAW
Liquor People Enjrage Attorneys
and Will Probably Start
Test Case Soon
Little Hock, Mch. 17.—Senti
ment is now much in favor of
Arkansas being dry after Decem
ber 31, through the passage of
the senate bill placing on the
friends of liquor the burden of
petition. But it is learned that
the best lawyers in Little Hock
are now working upon possible
flaws in the act, and that a test
case will soon be filed in the fed
eral court. It is probable that an
application will be filed in a town
of a wet county, where there is
now no licensed saloon, and after
the county judge has refused the
license, to take the matter into the
United States court. This is the
last hope of the liquor men, and
they will fight it to a finish, for
otherwise they will be out of busi
ness for at least two years.
YOUNG FARMERS MEET
Many Hear Agricultural Expert
Speak at Batesville
Batesville, Mch. 17.—Indepen
dence county is becoming famous
for the interest that is taken in
boys’ corn clubs and girl’s can
ning clubs, and although Satur
day was a cold, unpleasant day,
more than 100 boys and girls turn
ed out to hear an address by State
Agent Jernigan of the Farm Dem
onstration Department. George
Allen and Miss Mary Case, who
have charge of the clubs, have an
nounced that in addition to the
prizes offered by the Agricultural
Department, they have about 300
pledged for prizes next fall.
There are 194 members of the
Boy’s Corn Clubs who will com
pete for prizes and 112 members
of the canning clubs who \yill con
test for premiums on the products
of fruit and vegetables.

IMPROVEMENT CLUB
DOING GOOD WORK
Start Hinature Park and Plan
Vigorous Campaign For
“City Beautiful"
The Civic Improvement Club
has this week had a plot of ground
near the depot fenced and prepar
ed for planting flowers and shrub
bery. The members will contrib
ute the seeds and plants and
hs the season advances it is expect
ed that under their skilled direc
tions this little park will develop
into a real beauty spot. All the
work of erecting the fence was
donated by the men around town,
and at the meeting of the club
Wednesday afternoon a resolution
was unanimously adopted tender
ing a vote of thanks to all who
aided in this work.
The club is planning to inaugu
rate a vigorous campaign for a
cleaner and more beautiful town.
In this connection a prize of one
dollar will be given the boy or
girl who gathers up the largest
rubbish or trash pile on Clean-up
May, the 2nd of April. The trash
pile must be made on the contest
ant’s premises but contestants
will be free to gather up trash any
place they desire. All boys and
girls who dsire to enter the con
test should notify Miss Moore,
pressdent of the club. The street
commissioner will have the trash
piles hauled off or otherwise dispos
ed of.
Considerable interest is being
aroused in the work of the club,
and results already accomplished
indicate that the citizens of New
ark heartily endorse the club’s plan
for a ‘‘City Beautiful."
ANOTHER TICKET
I suggest W. L. Hall, G. M.
Fields, I). C. Lane, J. H. Holderby
and C. M. Edwards for aldermen;

Magness for recorder, and 0. F.
