Gentry Not Dead
Since our publication last week
we have been convinced that
Oliver P. Gentry, a soldier of the
Arkansas National Guard, who
was reported killed at Deming,
N. M., in a letter received by
The Home News from one Mr.
Price, is not dead but very much
alive.
Mr. Lon Sutton received a let
ter from Gentry last Saturday.
It was written on the same day
and on the same kind of station
ery, mailed in the same kind of
envelope and mailed at the same
time of the letter that was sent
to The Home News, and we are
of the opinion that Mr. Gentry
wrote both letters as the hand
writing is identical. Why he|
wrote the letter we don’t know'
i
unless he wanted to fool a lady
frienf of his who is a subscriber
for this paper.
Preparing.
A good cotton crop means
heavy business for the South
western Telegraph & Telephone
Company in Arkansas, and the
officials of the company are this
ypar preparing for the greatest
fall business in the history of
the company.
The merchants of all towns
are vitally interested in the cot
ton market, for they have the
actual cotton on hand, ready to
unload immediately if the mar
ket shows signs of weakening, j
This causes them to resort to the!
telephone many times a day to i
keep up with the market and
this makes business pick up for
the telephone lines. It is the
quickness of the service, as well
as the satisfaction of getting in-:
formation that would be difficult
in another manner, that makes
the telephone so popular.
Notice to M. H. S. Pupils
Two ten-gallon water kegs will
be used to furnish pupils water.
It will be absolutely necessary
for pupils to have drinking cups
before they can secure water.
So many contagious and infec
tious diseases are prevalent now
adays, so conditions of environ
ment are represented by the
child-life assembled at a public
school building, it becomes abso
lutely compulsory that every pre
caution be exercised to preserve
the good health of the children.
Have your child bring an individ
ual drinking cup, and advise hfrm
before he leaves home against
the dangers of using the cups be
longing to other children.
With the adoption of Amend
i ment No. 12 the “dark age” in
Arkansas will be over.
