RESIDENCE 85
The Moler Barber College of
Memphis, Tenn., wants men to
learn the barber trade. They off
er splendid inducements and a
shortterm completes. They mail
free a beautiful catalogue and ask
all our readers to send for it.
J. W. Edlin of Wycough town
ship was transacting business in
town Saturday and remembered
The Journal in a pleasant and
substantial manner. Mr. Edlin
came to this county from Illinois
a few years ago. He has bought a
little hill farm out on Two-mile
creek and is doing well.
J. W. Pickens and daughters,
Misses Ruth and Katie, of the Dota
neighborhood were trading in town
Friday, and Mr. Pickens called to
renew for The Journal. He re
ports some hogs dying in his neigh
borhood, he having recently lost
some fine ones he was fattening.
They were the only hogs he has
lost in 20 years, w’hich goes to show
that Mr. Pickens is a successful
hog-raiser.
County Examiner Sidney Pick
ens of Batesville was in town Fri
day on business. Prof. Pickens
says they are expecting quite an
interesting and profitable meeting
at the teachers and directors meet
ing at Batesville Saturday. State
Superintendent George B. Cook of
Little Rock will be present and
address the meeting and Prof.
Pickens is very anxious to have
all the teachers and directors hear
his address.
Rev. J. I. Martin and daughter,
Miss Cora, and Miss Stella Nuckolls,
of Cord were in town Saturday en
route home from Little Rock where
they attended the Baptist General
Assoctation. Rev. Martin tells us
that Dr. J. T. Christian, missionary
secretary of the Baptist State Con
vention, treated the delegates to a
Thanksgiving Dinner at the Grand
Central Hotel. Three states were
represented at the table where
Rev. Martin was served
ANOTHER BIO COON
Mr. Editor.—Away back yonder
when I was a boy, we caught a
coon. I say “we”—the company
as nearly as I can remember was
Isom Bilbrey, Bob Griffin, T. M.
Jernigan, myself, perhaps Jim
Griffin and others whom I do not
recall. Old “Heck,” Mr. Bilbrey’s
coon dog, “treed” near where T.
M, Jernigan used to live. We cut
the tree, and down it came, “ker
thrash.” In went the dogs—but
no coon. In five or ten minutes
“Old Heck” gave mouth some
twenty or more feet from the tree,
and such a chase— all the dogs
yelping and the men hollering and
running as fast as we could, on in
to my father’s field and into the
Henderson bottom, on Two-mile
creek, where “Old Heck” treed
again. This time it was a big
sweet gum, and we all decided
that there was something up that
tree, and it was a big something.
We waded into it with sharp axes,
and soon it came down. In went
the dogs, but no coon again. “Old
Heck” circled, but could find no
trail; then back to the re« and he
investigated from end to end, and
the top having been broket} out
and large limbs having grown up,
one of which was hollow,and there
"Old Heck” found his coon. We
located the ring-tail by running a
switch up the hollow, and chopped
in just at his caudal appendage—
and there he was, wedged in that
hollow. Our first idea was to pull
him out by the tail. So each one
pulled at that coon; but no one
could budge him.
Bilbrey pulled, Bob Griffin, Tom
Jernigan pulled, and I pulled; but
Sir Coon held his grip. Then we
boxed out a little higher over the
coon’s back and old Heck and one
or two other dogs got hold on him,
and out he came, and such another
fight I never saw. Mr. Bilbrey
told me that coon weighed 21
pounds. Next. And if there is
no other, I claim the “blue ribbon.”
Jas. F. Jernigan,
Marked Tree, Ark.
