HENRY DAVIS McMURTRY
DeView, Ark.
That he will be missed is
saying but little of a young
man to whom the community
has looked for good cheer,
sympathy, and leadership in
the right. His name was
spoken affectionately b y
countless friends, and “Mr.
Henry” was sounded sweetly
on the lips of many a child.
Most of the thirty two years
of his life were spent here,
this being also his birthplace.
He was married in 1911 to
Miss Minnie Currie of Des Arc,
who preceeded him only a
short time ago to the better
world. Four children were
born, two of whom yet live.
A father and mother, Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. McMurtry
of DeView, four brothers, and
three sisters are also left to
mourn the bright life that
has passed.
“Calm is thy slumber as an
an infant’s sleep
But thou shalt wake no more
to toil and weep
Thine is a perfect rest
secure and deep.”

THREE POUNDS
OF SUGAR NOW.
Washington,Nov. 1. —The
sugar allowance of two
pounds monthly a person for
householders was increased
to three pounds monthly yes
terday by Food Administrator
Hoover, effective today. The
sugar regulations also are
revised to permit the purchase
of the entire month’s supply
for a family at one time.
This relaxation of the re
strictions placed on the use
of sugar four months ago was
made possible, Mr. Hoover’s
statement said, through the
rapid manufacture of the beet
sugar crop in the West, the
new cane crop in the South,
reductions of consumption in
manufacturing, freer trans
portation conditions and pa
triotic conservation by the
public.—Arkansas Democrat,
