JOY PLANE FLIGHTS
AVIATOR VISITS TOWN AND RUT
IN BUSY DAY CARRYING
UP PASSENGERS.
Citizens of Newark were on last
Sunday given their first opportunity
to take a ride in an airplane, and
quite a number of them availed '•hem
selves of the opportunity to take a
flight skyward.
The plane belonged to the Memphis
Aerial company, piloted by Eugene
(Bill) Heth, ar-ived in town about 10
making flights for those who desired
o’clock Sunday morning and spent the
entire day and part of Monday here
to go up.
Little Helen Henderson, the four
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.
T. Henderson, took a flight in the j
plane with her father, and is said to
be the youngest person in the state to
take an airplane flight. She was not
the least bit frightened even when
the plane soared to a height of 2,000
feet, and came to earth smiling as
though she had only taken a little
auto ride instead of having taken a
spin up among the clouds.
Heth, who has been flying sine*
1911, was former pilot for Villa in
Mexico.
He has never had a serious accident
during the 2, 500 hours he has flown.
The Memphis Aerial company is the
largest of its kind in the south. It
is incorporated by five ex-army offi
cers from Park Field, and capitalized
at $50,000. It owns four airplanes,
and soon will have several more. Its
main flying field is at Driving Park,
Memphis, but several planes an* on
the road much of the time.
The plane here was accompanied by
Pilot Bill Heth, John L. Day and Roy
L. Johnson.

Miracles In Money
A city skyscraper seems a miracle in
steel and stone. But it is only a vast
number of girder* painstakingly placed
together —a va»t quantity of bricks
placed end to end and one above another.
Miracles in money are seeming miracles
only. You can work miracles in your
own life.
Saving Wins Success
You can have a big prosperous farm,
own a car, or travel wherever you wish.
Men who have real’y suc
ceeded spell it S-A-V-E. You
can win the same success.
You do not need a lot of
money to do it. You need
no great education.
You need only the determi
nation to start now and con
tinue. Let us help you.

ROBBERS BLOW SAFE
OF BROOKLAND BANK
DOOR OF LARGE SAFE IS BLOWN j
OFF BUT ROBBERS GET
NO MONEY.
Jonesboro, Aug. 26.—The Bank of
Brookland was entered this morning
about 1 o’clock by two men, the door
of the large safe being blown off,
which awoke many of the citizen?,
who were on the scene in a few min
utes, and exchanged several shots. i
The burglars retreated and made
good their escape in the darkness, i
Fortunately they blew open the safe ;
that had no fu. ds, but only some pa
peis, some of which were thrown
away and found later by the bank
officials. It was thought that one
of the burglars was hit, but this is
not definitely known. Bloodhounds
were secured by sheriff Byrd, but so
far nothing tangible has resulted.
This is the third time in the past ten
yeais this bank has been burgalized.
The damage to the safe is fully pro
tected by burglar insurance.
Brookland is a small town about
15 miles north of Jonesboro.

HUTSON LAD KILLS
BROTIHER-IN-LAW
EAUI» TATE SHOOTS DAVE HEL
TON WITH RIFLE WHILE
HUNTING NEAR HUTSON
Dave Helton was snot and killed by
Earl Tate near Hutson Thursday eve
ning of last week.
The two had been shooting fish in
the creek near Hutson, when some
sort of a difficulty arose between
them, and Tate shot Helton, in the
back of the head with a rifle.
There were no eye witnesses to
the killing, and Tate left the body of
his victim lying in the woods and
walked to Batesville and surrendered
to Sheriff Harris.
Mr. Harris went to the scene cf
the killing the next morning and Hol
ton’s body was still lying in the
woods where he was shot.
Both are young men, Tate being
about 19 or 20 years old, and Hol
ton probably 21 or 22. Helton mar
ried Tate’s sister about two years
ago when she was only about 14 years
of age, and she and Helton had not
gotten along very well, having separ
ated two or three times, resulting in
bad feeling between Helton and the
Tate family. As to whether this old
trouble had anything to do with the
killing is net known.
Tate is reported to have said that
he and Helton had a quarrel about
something while hunting, and Tate
claims that Helton was reaching for
a rock with which to strike him, when*
he shot Helton.
Helton has not borne a very good
reputation, while Tate has ,'Kvay:
been a peacable young man, and was
never into any trouble.
The case was taken before Circuit
Judge Dene H. Coleman, and Tate
granted bond in the sum of $2,000
which he made and was released from
custody.
Clarence Fields, who is under treat
ment at the State Tuberculosis Sani
torium at Booneville, has returned to
Rooneville, after having spent a few
days here with his family. His many
friends are glad to note the improve
ment of his health since he entered
the sanitorium.
