MISS MAGGIE GIBSON DIES
AT HOME IN OKLAHOMA
The death of Miss Maggie Gibson,
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eaph
M. Gibson occurred at their home,
205 Summitt Ave., Lawton, Okla., .
Sunday evening, April 18th., after a
long illness with tuberculosis.
Miss Gibson was born in Indepen
dence county, near Magness, in 1893;
and passed from this life three days
before her twenty-seventh birthday. 1
She will be remembered as a little
school girl, by many friends back
there.
Her parents removed to Oklahoma
when she was fourteen years of age,
and she grew into womanhood in thai
state, a most estimable and lovable
young lady.
She had many friends in Lawton
and vicinity, who most affectionately
administered to her every want and
necessity during her long illness,
which she bore with patience almost
divine. A FRIEND.

WOID HOG CHOLERA GERMS
douses and Lots Should Be Arranged
So That They May Be Cleaned
and Disinfected Easily.
Prepared by tlio United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Among the suggestions made by tlie
'nlted States department of agrieul
ure to minimize the danger of in*
roduoing hog cholera germs are the
ojlowing:
llog houses, lots, and pastures
diould be located away from streams
mil public highways, and the houses
ind lots should be arranged so that
hey may be cleaned and disinfected
readily. They should lie exposed as far
is possible to sunlight, which is the
heapest and one of the best disin
fectants. Hog lots should not be used
for yarding wagons and farm imple
ments and should not be entered with
teanl mid wagon, particularly when
loading stock for shipment to market.
As further precaution no one should
be allowed to enter hog lots unless
there is assurance that lie does not
carry infection. Farmers and their
help should disinfect their shoes lie
fore entering hog lots after returning
from public yards, sales, and neigh
boring farms.

j DEPLORES LOSS OF
A GOOD TEACHER
I -
| Mr. B. F. Cash,
! R. F. D. No. 1, Newark, Ark.
! Dear Mr Cash:
I have just read with interest what
i you have to say in The Newark Jour
nal
Of course I could not question your
decision or your good judgment in
making such decision. I can only say
that it is a deplorable fact that so
many teachers are leaving the jji-o
fession. Some, perhaps, are leaving
for the same reason that 1 left, that
is, in order to make a living.
At the present time we must count
one more vacant schoolroom for each
teacher that is “forced” out of the
profession and I must beg leave to
say that in this instance, while you
are no doubt winner, Independence
couty is a heavy loser in losing the
services of a successful, experienced
teacher. If conditions continue as
they now are it will not be long un
til the teacher will be compelled to
“board around” as the Iloosier School
master did. While I can recall many
pleasant experiences in my former
school work, I have to admit that
it has been an expensive pleasure so
far as the remunerative part is con
cerned.
As to your reward, you have it.
You have the satisfaction of know
ing that your work is felt, as you
say, over “a thousand miles.” A part
of your life and character is being re
produced every day in a thousand dif
ferent parts of this great common
wealth.
With very7 best wishes for your wel
fare and that of your faithful, "pa
tient” wife and for the welfare of
your entire family, I am as ever
Y’our friend,
J. L. MAYHAN.
