LOCAL ECHOINGS

Little Neil Winner had the misfortune to fall off a horse last Sunday and get his arm fractured.

"Uncle Tom" Barnes, of Water creek township died last week. He was over 90 years old. We have not yet received an obituary.

We regret to hear that Judge W. E. Walker, of Valley Springs, has been ill again lately. He has a very serious bone disease which has cost him the loss of several toes. Boone Banner.

Dr. W. T. Bryan, has placed all his accounts in my hands and notified me to collect at once. Those who are owing him will save costs only by making immediate payments. B. F. Fee.

Dr. A. J. Vance, assisted by Drs. Sims, Elam, Brooksher and Pierce, removed a large tumor from the left side of Mrs. Pierce, together with the entire breast. The operation was performed at Dr. Pierce's residence and the patient was doing well when last heard from. Harrison Times.

The little six year old son of John Ivey, living one mile west of town, died on Monday. In last September, the little fellow was bitten on the leg by a cat as he was going down the road to school. It was thought that the cat had hydrophobia .. (the remainder is cut off the bottom of the page.)

Born to Mr. And Mrs. John Nanney, on the third, a girl.

Look out for the washing man. Will remove dirt, grease, and everything that anybody wants removed from clothing. Will call on the people of Yellville soon. Give him a trial.

Last Sunday night, the store house of Black and Milum, of Powell, was burned with most of the contents. The stock, we understand, was insured. There will be considerable loss, however. It was the work of an incendiary. Is there no way to put a stop to this devilish work in North Arkansas?

There are ten counties represented and 79 in attendance. In both the Normal and Institute, there are 149 in attendance. Omitting those students who attended, only the public school, over 200 have matriculated since this annual session.

The prosperity of the school is clearly indicated when we consider that only 134 students were enrolled last year. There are now in attendance 27 teachers who are better preparing themselves for efficiency in the public school works. About 50 others are preparing to teach during the coming summer. The faculty is making a special effort to prepare these young teachers for successful work. They are drilled not only in the branches to be taught, but in methods of teaching and in school management.

LOCAL ECHOINGS (Feb. 12, 1892)

John Covington is building an addition to his black smith and wagon shop.

Rev. J. M. Cantrell, agent of the Quitman College, was in town last week.

The grand jury got closely after the whiskey traffic and those who tamper with it. Boone Banner.

Frank Pace, of Yellville, has been spending several days among his Harrison friends. Boone Banner.

Mrs. Cora Williams is having a new dwelling put up on a lot purchased from "Uncle Jim" Wickersham, west of the parsonage.

We learn by private letter from Dr. R. J. Pierce, of Marion county, of the speedy recovery of Mrs. Pierce, of whom mention is made in another column. Boone Banner.

Our last grand jury returned 113 indictments. This is the largest number ever found by any grand jury of Boone county heretofore. Boone Banner.

Eld. H. W. Moore, pastor of the Christian Church at Harrison, is holding a series of meetings at Yellville. He is a very pleasant gentleman, well informed and is evidently imbued with the spirit of progress. We acknowledge a pleasant call.

C. J. Edney will soon have his new dwelling and jewelry shop completed. He will also soon have a splendid foot bridge across the branch north of Lefever's and Hutchison's Black Smith Shop. Mr. Edney is a hustler and a useful citizen.

Bro. A. C. Hull's Baxter county friends will be glad to add their endorsement to the eulogy paid him by a correspondent to the Arkansas Democrat and published today in the Citizen. Mr. Hull would sweep north Arkansas should he become a candidate for Secretary of State. Baxter Citizen.

The many friends of S. G. Roy, Sr., will be pained to learn of his death which occurred after a brief illness last Sunday. He was one of Boone's oldest citizens and, previous to the injury to his eyes several years since, a most active and successful businessman. Harrison Times.

Mr. J. W. Black, of Powell, who called on us yesterday informed us of the burning of the store and stock of Black and Milum at that place last Sunday night, supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The loss aggragated $2700. Insurance $1800. Harrison Times.

J. E. Johnson, of West Plains, is figuring on putting in a telephone line from West Plains to Yellville. See what even the hope of a railroad puts into motion?

Last Sunday night it is thought someone tried to sink the Steamer Eagle near McBee's Landing. Two charges of dynamite were exploded just ahead of the boat but too far away to do any harm. Cause unknown.

We are requested to state that in addition to the organization of a Democratic club at Georges creek school house Saturday night, good speakers will be present and a lively time is expected.

We this week published quite a list of names to the call for a World's Fair meeting at Yellville. They are all progressive citizens and their interest is, therefore, natural. If the progressive citizens of Marion county do not turn out in great numbers, we shall be greatly surprised.

Greasy creek and its tributaries is coming to the front as a mining district. Splendid finds are being made almost everyday. The nearest finds to Yellville are near the old Methodist camp ground. "Uncle Jim" Adams, John Q. Adams, J. T. Collier, John Nowlin, and others have made good finds. We see no reason why Greasy creek should not have as good mining ground as any other creek in the county.

The Ralph is in trouble again. This time the Springfield stockholders, who own a minority of the stock, seem to have overruled the majority, who are upper White river men, and ousted Capt. Shipp and put in a new set of men. Ingle and Cravens now have charge of the boat. The trouble is, the Springfield stockholders wanted the boat run in the interest of the Brinkley road, while the majority wanted it run in the interest of the upper White river country. The matter will be settled in the Federal Court at Little Rock.

P. N. Thompson was taken out at the jail last Thursday and furnished a room in the jailer's residence where he could receive proper nursing. He was very bad for several days and thought he was going to die. He is much better now and his wounds are healing up nicely. Mr. W. H. Tharpe, of Lone Rock, has been waiting on him. A good many of Thompson's neighbors think he was justifiable in killing Rodgers and express an opinion that if the Thompsons get justice, they will come clear. There is some strong evidence on both sides. Baxter Citizen.

Mrs. Barnett, whose paramour was assassinated by her father and brother in Baxter county last week, was a passenger on the Ralph when the boat landed here Monday. She is a comely young woman and was accompanied by her son, a bright looking boy of nine. The murdered man, a desparate character, and having a family himself, had run her husband off, and the woman said she was on her way to join him in Memphis. Her father was badly wounded in the affray and her brother is in jail at Mtn. Home, and it is said a warrant is out for her arrest, but no effort was made here to detain her. She talked very freely about the affair and left here with her boy on the train on Monday afternoon. Batesville Guard.

LOCAL ECHOINGS

A Democratic Club was organized in Blythe township last Saturday night. The Democracy of that township is awake and ready for the fray.

The report that an attempt was made last week to blow up the Steamer Eagle with Dynamite, was without any truth whatever. The explosion was over a mile away.

Mr. White, who is selling in this county, a preparation for washing clothes and cleaning articles of furniture, etc., is offering to the public what the folks at my house, and especially the housekeeper, thinks is a "sure enough" great help. I take pleasure in endorsing Mr. White to this extent. T. W. Harris.

A. _ Dirst's little son, who run a nail in his leg six weeks ago is confined to his bed, but is gradually improving under care of Dr. Pierce. Dr. Brooksher, of Oakland, was called in consultation last Thursday when it was decided to wait one week, and if then deemed necessary, an operation would be performed on the knee.

PROBABLY MURDER
       Mrs. Sarah Cooper, who is in the hands of the sheriff, charged with the murder of her newly born infant in Flippin Barrens, on January 22. The facts are about as follows. Mrs. Cooper, a grass widow, her husband having deserted her about two years ago, since which time she has had a somewhat unsavory reputation, most of this time she has lived in Baxter county. Her maiden name was Bruce and she is related to the Gloers(sic) and several prominent people over there. About two months ago she came over into Marion county and took up residence (most of this is unreadable) on the night of January 22, she gave birth to a child. She claims that the child came before its time and was dead. Pasco and his wife said that Mrs. Cooper told them that the child was alive when it was not.......(rest of article at the bottom of the page and is distorted)
