Eatesville, Nov. 15.—Acting
on the tip that a bootlegger
had invaded the quiet precepts

armed themselves with a war
rant and began a search. On
searching the room of R. D.
Sears, who claimed to be a
real estate man and who said
his home was in North Caro
lina, three quarts of whiskey
were found. On being ques
tioned by the officers, Sears
said his home was in North
Carolina and that from there
he had gone to Florida, from
where he went to Heber
Springs, and then he decided
to come to Batesville to sell
“real estate.’’ He was brought
before Justice Holmes, who
fined him $100 and costs.
Sears is in jail after having
sent home for money to pay
his fine.

BERRY GROWERS AFTER
BETTER SELLING PLAN
Propose to Form One Big As
sociation to Market Entire
White County Crop
Bald Knob| Nov. 14.—A big
gathering of strawberry grow
ers met at Beebe Friday to dis
cuss the formation of one large
association to cover the entire
White county district.
The well advertised market
ing plan of the California Cit
rus Fruit Growers is advocat
ed as being the way the best
results can be obtained for the
berry growers of this district.
No definite action was tak
en as the idea has only lately
been proposed and many of
the local associatios have not
had time to discuss the matter
thoroughly.
W. H. Nichols of Bald Knob
advocated the avoidance of
hasty action, declaring it would
be necessary to have all com
bine for success and a chance
should be given all interested
to study the plan.
White county strawberry as
sociations are operating suc
cessfully and the growers a#te
receiving much better prices
than before cooperative sell
ing became established.
