County Demonstrator Geo. W.
Allen informs The Journal that he
is making arrangements for the
members of the Boys Corn and
Cotton Clubs to gather at Bates
ville and leave there on July 28
for a hike to Searcy.
The plan is to spend several
days on the road, studying crops
in other sections, and roughing it
as they go. They have arranged
to carry their bedding and knap
sacks and will sleep in the school
houses along the route.
Prof. Sidney Pickens has prom
ised to go along with the boys,
and it is likely Prof. Blandford
may be in the company.
Dr. J. H. Kennerly will probably
accompany the boys to look after
their physical welfare in case any
of them should become sick.
At Searcy the boys will be met
by the club boys of White county,
and they will be entertained by
the business men of Searcy during
their stay in that city.
A moving picture man will meet
the hikers near Searcy to procure
pictures of the procession which
will be furnished the various film
exchanges and will be shown in
all moving picture shows through
out the country.
A meeting will be held at New
ark by Mr. Allen next Wednesday j
afternoon to make arrangements
for the members here to accom
pany the party.

TWO RUNAWAY ACCIDENTS
Youth Killed jirut Man 5eriously
Injured Near Newport
Newport, June 17.—Roy Byrd.
14 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Columbus Byrd, was so badly in
jured yesterday afternoon in a
runaway accident, that he died a
half hour later, at his home near
| Crubbs, 16 miles east of here. The
! youth was driving a team and rid- l
ing upon a wagonload of loose j
oats. The oats began to slide and ;
he was thrown forward across the
doubletree, scaring the team,
which bolted. He was caught in
the harness and dragged for quite'
a distance before he eould.be res
cued.
A similar accident occurred near
! Grubbs Saturday morning, when
Reeves Pippcnger was crossing
Locust creek bridge with a load of
holts. Some of the bolts fell off,
frightening the team. Mr. Pippen-;
ger was thrown to the ground and
the bolts falling upon him, brokej
one of his legs and caused other j
injuries which probably will prove I
fatal.
BETTER MARKET NEAR HOME
A. M. Edgar recently shipped a
car of cattle to the Weil Packing
Co., of Little Rock. Mr. Edgar
ships quite a good many cattle and
has been shipping to St. Louis but
decided to try the Little Rock
market with a shipment, and he is
well pleased with the result. Hej
saved about $70 on freight, $18 on j
commissions and $8 on yarding
charges. He received St. Louis
prices and sustained no loss from
shrinkage. This means nearly $100 j
per car more profit, and in a year’s j
shipments will mean several hun
dred dollars. Arkansas people
who deal in cattle should not over
look the advantages afforded by !
having a home market and should:
lose no opportunity to boost this j
enterprise, the success of which
means a great deal to the farmers
and cattlemen of the state.

BLOW FROM OAR
MAY PROVE FATAL
Kued Between Newport Youths
Blamed Kor Affair That May
End In Death
Newport, June 16.—Dave House,
aged about 14, is in a serious con
dition as the result, it is said, of

curred on lower Front street yes
terday morning. House was rend
ered unconscious by the blow.

LIFE IS A TRUST
Life is a trust, received from
many who have gone before, to be
guarded and bettered in one’s turn,
and passed along to many after.
Many tragedies result from lack
of sunshine and fresh air. Many
tired hearts would be rested if
sunshine and fresh air could be
purchased.—F. B. Dressier.
