HIS 80TH ANNIVERSARY
Friends and Kindred of Uncle
Erve Shipman Gather and
Celebrate the Event
Sulphur Rock, Oct., 18.—A birth
day dinner and family reunion was
given at the home of our good old
friend, J, E. Shipman today, this
being the 80th birthday of “Uncle
Erve,” as we sometimes call him.
There were present his brother,
Tom and his family, his sons, Jim
and George and their families, and
his sons-in-law, their wives and
families, A. R. Watts and W. U.
Henderson; also Rev. and Mrs. H.
T. Gibson, Bud Scribner and “Gib
son The Picture Man,” being over
thirty persons in all. About eleven
o’clock we were invited to take
seats at a large table loaded with
good things to eat too numerous
to mention. It being a little early
for dinner had nothing to do with
our not being hungry, but we
went for that dinner equal to a
hungry editor. May Mr. and Mrs.
Shipman live to enjoy many more
such occasions.

Frank Adams announces in to-'

young man, a member of one |of!

born and reared in the county, ed
ucated in our county high schools,

the county for several years be
fore engaging in mercantile pur
suits. In the event of his election
the people are assured of an effi
cient and painstaking servant who
will at all times render them good
and satisfactory service.
HODGES NOT A CANDIDATE
To My Democratic Friends in
Independence County:
As the time is approaching when
candidates for public office are ex
pected to announce their intentions
and as my name has been mention
ed as a candidate for Circuit Clerk
before the coming primary, it
might be in order for me to make
a statement. Four years ago I
made the race for this office against
a most excellent gentleman, Mr.
’ leo. L. Bevens, who had made a
previous race and had other meri
torious claims for the nomination.
1'he race was made with the best
of feelings and absolutely fair in
ivery respect. I wras defeated but
made a good showing, which ac*
:ording to custom in this County,
should make me a stronger candi
iate in the next primary. My
triends from all parts of the Coun
ty are soliciting, and encouraging
me to enter the race this time, as
suring me that I would have an ;
excellent chance to win, but since j
asking for the office four years]
ago, I have secured employment '
which I consider more profitable |
than politics, and, as I think it is [
the duty of every one to do that 1
A’hich seems best for himself and
ffiose dependent upon him, I have
lecided not to enter the race for
Circuit Clerk. I certainly appreciate
she kindly interest my friends
aave taken in my behalf and am
ieeply grateful for all past favors.
I expect to remain in my posi
tion with the First Nationol Bank
and will be glad to meet all my
friends and acquaintances.
Yours truly,
E. A, Hodges.

BIG FREIGHT MOVEMENT
13,309 Loaded Cars Handled in a
Single Day by the Hissouri*
Pacific System
The freight movement on the
Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain has
shown a most decided increase late
ly. The largest movement in the
history of these lines occured Fri
day, October 6th, when 13,309
cars were handled. On that day
there were only five cars on the
entire 7300 miles of track of the
System which had been standing
over 24 hours without movement.
The following day, Saturday, the
movement was almost as great as
on Friday, there being 13049 load
ed cars handled. On Saturday
there was not a single car on the
entire System which had stood 24
hours.
The largest single day’s loading
on the tracks on the Company in
its history occurred Monday, Oct
ober 9th, when 3415 cars we load
ed on the Missouri Pacific-Iron
Mountain tracks. This is exclusive
of a few thousand cars received
from other lines, which were mov
ed over the Company’s tracks on
that day. This heavy movement
of freight is indicative of a good,
healthy condition of affairs, especi
ally in the West and Southwest.
ROBBED OF $40 AND WATCH
Asa Pelley of Dunnington was
robbed of about $-40 in money and
a gold watch and chain valued at
$50, while attending the State Fair
at Hot Springs last week.
The thief entered his room at
the hotel, climbing in through a
window, while Mr. Pelley was
asleep, and the robbery was not
discovered until morning.
