Ferry, a short distance above
Batesville, was blown up with
dynamite Thursday night.

by the county judge to oper
ate a free ferry a quarter of
a rnile above the Gainor ferry,
but a court injunction was is

WOMEN TO RULE TOWN
Hoxie Said to Favor Women
I“or City Officers
Hoxie, Feb. 6.—Sentiment is
said to be fast crystallizing
here in favor of a municipal
ticket composed entirely of
women. Apparently a large
majority of the voters are not
satisfied with a board compos
ed of men, and are willing to
turn the town government
over to the women.

IMPROVED COTTON
SEED
The Chamber of Commerce
has contracted with the Aeak
Cotton Seed Company of Ard
more, Oklahoma, for a car 01
Acala Cotton Seed which wil
be sold to the farmers of th<
county for actual cost and the
Batesville Compress has agreed
to store the seed without cost
The seed will cost $1.85 pe>
bushel delivered at Batesvilk
and that is what will be the
cost to tanners.
The Chamber of Commerce
is doing this because Acahi
cotton is highly recomended
where cotton has to be grown
under boll wevil conditions. II
matures in 95 days after plant
ing, makes more lint cottor
than Half and Half, and hat
a staple of 1 */« inch. When
this cotton is planted before
the first of May it matures be
fore the boll wevil does its
greatest damage. If a few
farmers in each community
will get this seed and keep it
pure and next year insist that
their neighbors plant the same
seed we will have a uniform
cotton in the county and that
will mean a price of two 01
three cents more per pound
than we are getting at the
present time.
