- POTATO ASSOCIATION .
W. L. Laney, Marketing
Specialist of the Extension Di
vision, was with the county
Agent at Sulphur Rock
and assisted in organizing a
Sweet Potato Growers Associ
ation at that place. Judge J.
H. Jimerson was elected tem
porary chairman and T.R. Tate
temporary secretary. The As
sociation has about thirty-five
acres pledged and expects to
have twice that amount by the
next meeting which is Monday,
March 13. A canvass of the
community will be made and
every farmer given an oppor
tunity to join.
The next meeting of the as
sociation will be held at the
hall at Sulphur Rock Monday
March 13, at 2 P.M. At this
meeting permanent officers
will be elected and plans made
to incorporate the association.
After the association is incor
porated it will be in a position
tc borrow money with which to
build a curing house at Sul
phur Rock. It is very impor
tant that every member be
present, for after the election
of officers many things of im
portance will be taken up, a
mong the most important of
which is getting seed for the
members.
COTTON SEED
The car of Acala cotton seed
that the Chamber of Com
merce ordered has arrived and
is ready for distribution. About
900 of of the 1000 bushels has
already been spoken for and it
is thought that another car will
have to be ordered. The Cham
ber of Commerce took an op
tion on a second car at the
same price of the first and if
there are enough orders to jus
tify the second car will be
shipped in and distributed at
the same price of $1.85 per
bushel.
THE TALLY
It isn't the job we intended
to do
Or the labor we’ve just begun
That Puts us right on the
ledger sheet;
It’s the work we have really
done.
Our credit is built upon things
we do,
Our debit on things we shirk,
The man who totals the big
gest plus
Is the man who completes his
work.
Good intentions do not pay
bills;
It’s easy enough to plan.
To wish is the play of an of
fice boy;
To do is the job of a man.

Court, June Term 1922

The Defandant, Lillian M.
Woodward, is hereby warned

An Irishman was sitting in a
station smoking, when a woman
came in and sitting beside him
remarked, “Sir if you were a
gentleman, you would not
smoke here.”
“Mum,” he said, “if ye wuz
a lady, ye’d sit farther away.”
Pretty soon the woman burst
out again: “If you were my hus-j
band I’d give you poison.”
“Well, mum,” he returned,
as he puffed away at his pipe,
“if ye wuz my wrife I’d take it.”

sender, and freight, also a few
ol the old time sailing boats.
We picked many beautiful
shells and some coral, which
the tides had thrown ashore.
We also got a few oysters and
managed to capture one crab,
which is a funny animal in my
notion.
We attended the South
Florida Fair at Tampa, and
while there we saw many beau
tiful exhibts, such as we could
never have seen in Arkansas.
Our neighboring county, Pas
coe, which joins Hilboro on the
north, won the blue ribbon at
the fair.
Our occupation here is truck
ing. We now have 8 acres of
watermelons, 21/o acres of
tomatoes, .‘> acres of beans, 21/2
acres of corn. We have culti
vated our melons and tomatoes
once and we are plowing beans
today.
Our location is in the midst
of a beautiful orange grove
which has ripe and green fruit,
also loaded with blossoms,
•which fill the air with their
sweet perfume, makng one
think he is in the midst of a
great flower garden.
The country as a general
thing is level, with great ponds
scattered about, which seems
that it wTould make the country
very sickly, but malaria is
scarcely known around here.
The land that is not cleared
is covered in turpentine, or
long leaf pine, and a few oaks
hung from the bottom to #he
top with moss, some measuring
as much as ten feet in length,
which makes a very beautiful
scene.
As I am writing about all
I know and fearing this will
never reach the press, but the
waste basket instead, I will
close.

When Boston Was In Trouble.
In 1774, on the 1st of Juno, the Bo*
ton port bill went Info iperation. At
noon the harbor was closed against
all vessels and business was suspend
ed. In a 20 days’ notice the citizens
of Boston were deprived of their means
of gaining a living. Indignation ran
High throughout the colonies, contrl*
but ions were raised in other cities for
tlielr relief, and the people of Marble
head offered the Boston merchants the
use of their wharves.
