The Quorum court has de

Ztion work among the
b0ys and girls of the county
Z have cut out your appro
priation for next year.
V \ am sorry indeed, for
manv of you have been faith
ful enthusiastic workers and
understand just how much
von can get out of your work,
1 am not speaking of slackers,
and how very valuable it is
to you, being constructive, ed
ucational and helpful in many
WI wish to thank you for
your loyalty and good work
for the year and to tell you
that I made an earnest plea to
the court to have your appro
priation continued for I feel
that this is your just claim.
In my observations the chil
dren of the county are doing
their share toward making
the crops and sharing the
burdens of home making and
surely they are entitled to a
share in the taxes for a well
merited work and a recom
pese in the way of an appro
priation for their advance
ment and pleasure.
I hope the boys and girls
of Woodruff county will not
let the work go down but will
continue their club work with
such a will that they can con
vince the court of what' is
rightfully theirs and they will
be given their rights another
time.
soys ana girls taKe tne
torch of knowledge and keep
it blazing. Help the less for
tunate benefit by what you
have learned in the work and
to which a generous govern
ment has contributed freely
only asking a small assistance
v from your county, in order- to
give you what other boys and
girls are enjoying in nearly
overy state in the union.
I am glad tQ say that the
hck eradication appropria
tion was granted.
This was the action of the
court. Eleven Justices of the

CAUGHT WITH GOODS
Mr. E. C. Marsh, chief dep
uty under Sheriff R. H. Smith,
Jr., arrested Arthur Page,
negro, at Lake Village Satur
day who is charged with
burglary and grand larceny.
Some registered war savings
stamps which belong to W. O.
Barrentine and were stolen
from his store about a year
ago were found on the negro.
The name of the owner had
been changed to Arthur Page
and the name of the post
office to McGhee, but the lat
ter office was spelled McGee
instead of McGhee which
caused the officer to notice the
names having been changed.
The negro claims that he
bought the stamps from an
other negro, but it is now up
to him to prove from whom
he received them.
Car of high patent flour will
be here the first of next week.
Will sell at wholesale or retail.
Buy in five barrel lots and get
wholesale prices. Wilson, An
