PLUMMER AND APPLE
SEEK SECOND TERMS
COUNTY AND PROBATE JUDGE
AND CIRCUIT CLERK BREAK
POLITICAL ICE AND ASK FOR
RE-ELECTION TO POSITIONS.
- •
The ice on Lee county's political J
pond has been broken.
Judge Jno. A. Plummer, now serv- j
ing his first term as county and j
probate judge, stated Monday that
• somebody had to take the lead in j
making formal announcement and in
view of the fact he had long since
made up his mind to ask for a sec
ond term he saw no reason why he
should not let the voters know he
was a candidate, hence he authorized
the Courier-Index to announce his
candidacy for re-election.
Circuit Clerk R. G. Apple was the
second member of the court house
family to authorize a public an
nouncement to the effect that he
•would ask for another term.
Judge Plummer has been in office
less than a year, yet during that
short period of time he has inaugu
rated a most vigorous improvement
program, particularly with reference
to the bridges in the county. He
has acted upon the correct theory
that ‘a stitch in time saves nine.”
While to some it may appear the
county was not financially able to
expend large sums on bridges.
Judge Plummer took the view that
the county could not afford to with
hold the expenditures necessary to
put all the bridges in first class
condition, as well as to provide for
the construction of new bridged
nharo tho intorouLc nf tho tovnairorn
could be efficiently and economically
served. The judge felt the county
could not afford to lose the money
already invested in bridges by failing
to put them in good condition, to
say nothing of the obligation the
county .owes its citizens to provide
convenient and safe means of trans
portation across the sloughs and
i streams. Carrying out these ideas
Judge Plummer has been very#active
in his building program during the
past eight months and as a result
of his industry Lee county perhaps
has the best system of bridges to
be found in any county in the state.
Judge Plummer has also had exten
sive repairs made on the court house,
refinishing the work on the interior
and putting the hallways, offices
and courtrooms in presentable con
dition, as well as preserving the life
of the structure.
The sole object of government is
to give the taxpayers the maximum
in the matter of service and conven
ience at the minimum cost. Judge
Plummer has intelligently followed
this theory of government, and he
feels perfectly safe in pointing to his
f brief record as head of the county
; affairs, believing the people of Lee
county will endorse his acts and
favor him with the customary second
term. He promises to continue his
policy of holding the expense down,
eliminating waste and overcharge
conserving the county’s resources,
and is confident he will be able to
turn the county affairs of govern
ment back to the people at the con
clusion of his official career with
the full approval of the taxpayers on
the constructive work he has done.
THE CIRCUIT CLERK
The clerk of the circuit court, who
by virtue of his position is ex
! offieiQ recorder, has duties that are
almost exclusively clerical. He has
no control over the financial affairs
of the county, nor does he decide on
questions of policy affecting the tax
payers. His duties are clearly de
fined in the statutes. 'His chief
qualifications must be his ability to
[ handle court records, correctly re
cord deeds, mortgages and similar
documents. To be really efficient he
must know the general run of lands
ii me county and be able at all
times to furnish correct information
on matters pertaining to the vol
uminous records entrusted to his
care and keeping. And withall he
should be a man neat and tasty in
his work. In all these essentials
:|Uy Apple, who is now serving his
iirst terra as circuit clerk, measures
up to a high standard. With the
uble assistance of his chief deputy,

HORDE OF HUNTERS
IN QUEST OF DEER
WILL LYNN'S PARTY NEAR BLED
SOE KILLED FOUR MONDAY—
PARAGOULD NIMRODS PASS
THROUGH MARIANNA TO CAMP
The open season for killing deer
began last Sunday, and during the
early pai;t of the week scores of
hunters went to the bottoms near
Bledsoe to spm. 1 from me to two
weeks in camp chasing the fleet
footed king of the forest. Two dele
gations from Paragould were in Ma
rianna Sunday and left on the Mud
Line that afternoon for the bottoms
near Bledsoe. One hunting club was
composed of D. G. Beauchamp, chair
man of the state game and fish
commission; Herschel Neely, game
warden; Eli Meiser, president of the
National Bank of Commerce: P. E.
House, president of the House-Jones
Grain Company: Jas. A. Hays, sec
retary of the Meriwether Hardware
Company; and H. B. Isler. retired
hardwood maniPacturer. These men
went to Will Lynn’s camp. The
other hunting club was headed by
Mayor W. C. Middleton of Paragould,
his father J. W. Middleton, and his
brother O. B. Middleton. Other mem
bers of the club were Bill McDonald,
Jr., Arthur Johnson, A. O. McClellen,
Pete Wilhelm and Sherill R. L.
Elmore. This party is also hunting
near Will Lynn’s camp.
It is stated that there are many
deer in the bottoms near where these
clubs are camped. On Monday Will
Lynn and members of his party kill
ed four fine deer. That day Mr.
Lynn sent a large buck to Marianna
and had Roscoe DeLano butcher the
carcass and send portions of it to
Mr. Lynn’s friends here. Word came
to Marianna Wednesday that three
more deer had been killed in the
neighborhood of Mr. Lynn’s camp.
Hunting parties from Little Rock,
Forrest City, Memphis and Helena
are also camped in that section.
Mr. Lynn, who is regarded as the
kina bee of deer hunters is tent.
porarily disabled. His horse fell on
him Tuesday and in the fall Mr.
Lynn sustained a painful cut on his
forehead that caused him to quit the
chase and go to his bed.
G. W. Slaughter of this city spent
Monday in Lynn’s camp, returning
Tuesday.
Sheriff Arthur Cotter and H. M.
Jackson of the Courier-Index left
yesterday to join the hunting party
headed by D. G. Beauchamp. They
will spend several days in camp, re
turning to Marianna the first of
next week.
Duck shooting on the lakes and
sloughs near Marianna promised to
be fine two weeks ago, but during the
past ten days the weather has been
so warm that the flight has stopped
coming this way.
While scores of nimrods have
trudged through the muck and mire
of the bottoms and w aited weary
hours on the lake banks trying to
a bag of ducks, the net results have
been so disappointing that most of
the hunters have decided to wait
until cold weather drives the ducks
to the smaller lakes.
The open season for hunting quail
begins on November 20. It is stated
birds are more plentiful this year
than usual and hunters who like
this sport are anticipating a big
time when the season opens.

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
HOME GUARD UNIT
MASS MEETING TO BE HELD AT
ELKS HOME NEXT MONDAY
EVENING — ALL INTERESTED
CITIZENS ASKED TO ATTEND.
Marianna is going to have a home
guard company if plans inaugurated
at the meeting cf the Klks lodge on
Tuesday night of this week are car
ried out. During the general discus
sion period of the lodge meeting it
was suggested me ciuzeu»u>i'
Marianna was lagging behind the
procession in its failure to recognize
and act upon the importance of or
ganizing a home guard. The national
and state officials, and particularly
the military authorities, are urging
the people in every locality to band
themselves together to assist the
governmental forces in the conduct
of the war. There, is a very great
and important work to be done at
home, and it is only through organi
zatlon, carried out under direction
of the military authorities, that this
helpful co-operation can be extended
to the military units and to the other
branches of army service.
The suggestion that a home guard
be organized in Marianna met with
a ready response on the part ol
the members of the Elks lodge, and
following a brief discussion a com
mittee composed of R. L. Foreman
W. F. Nelson and J. E. Clarkson, was
appointed to formulate plans for per
feeting the organization. The commit
tee yesterday got in touch with the
military authorities in Little Rock and
within the next day or two it wll

To frown our breakfast bacon down and take our steak away; !

So skimp the sugar in your cake and leave the butter out,

Oh, gone now are the good old days of hot cakes thickly spread;
And meatless, wheatless, hopeless days are reigning in their

And gone the days of fat rib roasts, and two-inch T-bone steaks.
And doughnuts plump and golden brown, the kind that mother

And when it comes to pie and cake, just learn to cut it out,
Or Hoover’s goin' (o get you if you don’t watch out!
So spread your buckwheats sparingly, and peel your taters thin;
And tighten up your belts a notch and don’t forget to grin.
And if, sometimes, your whole soul yearns for shortcake high and

And biscuits drenched with honey, and chicken, butter fried.

EVERETT COOK TELLS
OF HIS TRIAL FLIGHT
MARIANNA BOY IN AVIATION
CORPS STOOD AT TOP OF
CLASS AND DREW COMMISSION
AS FIRST LIEUTENANT.
—
Everett Cook, who was in the
cotton business in Marianna last
season, now in the aviation branch
of the army service, has completed
his examinations and stood at the
top of his class. Mr. Cook is now at
Garden City, N. Y., awaiting orders
to sail for France. It is understood
Angus Mahan, who was also in the
cotton business here last season,
and who later joined the aviation
corps, has already sailed for France.
In a letter to D. P. Hilton written
November 9, Mr. Cook says in part:
“I had no trouble getting through
my tests and ranked at the top of
my class.
“On my cross country flight the
clouds were rather low. About 20
miles out I saw 'me coming lo.v and
thought I would duck down out of it.
I tried to throttle down so I could
dive and she would not throttle. I
jammed her off and on several times
She still hit around 900 revolutions
'—just enough to keep me off the
ground hut not en< ugh to keep me
lip So I picked out a field and cut
my switch. Just as I was about to
land I saw the biggest ditch I have
ever seen. I got ovpr it,some way
and heaved a sigh of relief when
1 came to a stop on the other side.
I knew about what the trouble was
—my throttle had worked loose from
the carburetor. I called the field
and told them I was down. They
said they would send after me, but
I told them I thought I could fix it
I worked for three7qiiarters of an
hour trying every kind of wire I
could find. I at list found some
hay wire that held, and got off it
was rather exciting, though, as time
was so valuable. A report had come
from Washington that all men not
through that day would be commis
sioned as second lieutenants, and as
many were being put there as
possible.”
Mr. Cook successfully completed
his flight within the time limit
specified and draw a first lieuten
ancy.

FORMER LEE COUNTYAN
DEAD IN SOUTH DAKOTA
A. Hardin of this city is in receipt
of a recent copy of the Herald, pub
lished at Flandreau, S. D., containing
an account of the death of B. F.
Nichols, formerly a citizen of Lee
county. Mr. Nichols once lived on a
farm near Marianna. He and his
family left here about fifteen years
ago for South ’n'iota. News of his
death will be received with regret
by his old friends hero. The news
paper account of his demise follows:
"Another of the pioneers of Moldy
county has been called to the Great
Beyond. The entire community was
sauoenea toaay to learn tnat B. F.
Nichols had passed away at 2:45 this
morning. Mr. Nichols had been ill
for some time and the end was not
unexpected.
“Benson Fordyce Nichols was born
May 25, 1842, in Green county, Penn
sylvania. Left an orphan at a tender
age, he moved to Illinois with his
brothers, where he grew to manhood.
There he married Miss Florence A.
Roberts on January 26, 1865.
“From Illinois he moved to Red
wing. Minn., and from there he came
to Moody county 41 years ago. This
makes Mr. Nichols one of the earliest
settlers in the county. He located on
a homestead three and a half miles
south of town where he resided
five years, when he moved to Fland
reau. where he lived continuously un
til his death.
‘ Industrious and unassuming, Mr
Nichols won the respect and regard
of those with whom he came in con
tact. Faithful in all the obligations
of neighbor and citizen, his departure
will be mourned by the wide circle oi
his friends.
"Surviving him are his widow and
two sons, C Ellis of Omaha and
George B. of Flandreau, to whom the
sympathy of the community goes
out.”

CAN’T GET STONE
FOR STREET WORK
QUARRIES TURNING OVER OUT
PUT TO GOVERNMENT, CONSE
QUENTLY STREET PAVING IN
MARIANNA IS STOPPED.
Inability of the city to get suf
ficient crushed stone to finish the
paving on South Poplar street has
caused Maclin McClintock, of the
board of public works, to temporarily
suspend Improvement on that street.
When the project was undertaken
several months ago it was not known
there would be any difficulty in se
curing an adequate supply of crush
ed stone with which to pave the
street, and in consequence teams
were put to work grading the street,
and the curbing and guttering was
done under contract by the Wynne
Paving Company. After Poplar street
had been put in condition to receive
the stone, the teams were put to
work on Pearl street, ami following
the completion of the curb and gut
ter work the dirt was removed and
the street cut to a permanent grade.
Eleven or twelve cars of stone had
been shipped and unloaded here and
this was placed on Poplar street, but
when the supply was exhausted it
was found it would take three more
cars 10 complete me paviug. mr.
McClintock has been trying hard to
get this amount so West Poplar
I street can be opened for traffic, but
i so far he has been unable to get
| even a promise from the owners of
the rock crusher near Little Rock
that he will get any more stone now
or in the near future. Efforts have
also been made to secure several
tanks of oil with a view to applying
the oil on Pearl street In lieu of
the stone, but the same war condi
tions prevail in the oil market. The
city officials are still endeavoring
to get the materials, either stone or
oil, in order that both Poplar and
Pearl streets may be put in con
dition to bear traffic, but so far noth
ing has developed that will Justify
the officials in making any promises
as to when the work will be com
pleted.

CAMPAIGNING FOR
Y. M. C. A. FUNDS
SO FAR PEOPLE IN MARIANNA
HAVE PLEDGED $1,500 AND NE
GROES OF COUNTY $1,000 TO
FUND OF $2,500.
The campaign to raise Lee county’*
quota of $:i.5H0 for the army Y. M.
C. A. fund has sm far resulted In tho
securing of pledges amounting to
$2,500. Of this amount $1,500 has
been raised among the white peo
ple in Marianna by the six commit
tees of young men who have devoted
a portion of their time to the work.
The negroes of the county have
pledged $1,000. The contribution*
and pledges made by the negroes are
largely the result of three excellent
addresses delivered in Lee county
last Sunday by Rev. D. E Johnson,
in charge of the negro Y. M. C. A.
work at Camp Pike. Rev. Johnson
delivered stirring appeals to the neg
roes at Thomasville. Marianna and
at Pilgrim church.
On Sunday teams from Marianna
will make an Intensive campaign
over sections of the county and it la
expected, as a result of this activity,
Lee county will raise moro than Its
quota. Among those who will ad
dress mass meetings Sunday are P.
R. Turner and F. N. Burke, who will

ed here this week from an army
officer at Camp Pike, written to •
friend in Marianna, will be interest*
ing. In part the letter follows:
•The Y. M. C. A. cause is worthy
of every cent that can be gotten for
it. They have seven buildings In
Camp Pike. The men fill the build
ings to overflowing at every night
service, and lack of room is appar
ently the only thing that prevents
more from attending.
“I believe the Y. M. C. A. Is doin»
everything it can for the morals of
the men. They have a personal
talk daily with numbers of the fel
lows and after these talks give out
such pamphlets as the one I am
enclosing. "Exner's Friend or En
emy.” These booklets and pamph
lets are never distributed broadcast,
but banded to the men after personal
talkH. i glanced over some of the
reports of the secretaries today and
the estimated dally attendance was
well over 1,000 at the building I
visited.
“They have real evangelistic serv
ices. but no church doctrines am
preached. Those making a profes
sion of faith join the churches of
their choice, and the pastors of their
churches at home are advised of
their conversion.
“No penny that is contributed to
the Y. M. C. A. cause will ever bo
spent for cigarettes or tobacco, ac
cording to the information 1 got. In
some pf the camps where it was dif
ficult for the men to purchase sup
plies (lie Y. M. (V A.'s have sold to
bacco and cigarettes to the men in
comlssaries that were run simply for
the convenience of the men. This la
i- it done, nor ins ever been dono
here
“They are stressing the C* in T.
M. C. A. as much as possible. I
can't say what proportion of the men
get any benefit from the work as
I know of no way of telling how
many it really does i*each. I am in
formed that, at the building I visited
today, during the month of October
four hundred testaments• were dis
tributed to the men after personal
talks, and their signing the pledge
to read it daily. In the Y. M. O. A.
building they have a piano, a Vlo
trola, checkers, etc., for the enter
tainment of the men at odd hours,
with desks around the wall for writ
ing. They furnish free of charge
envelopes and paper to the men, and
when they are quarantined they
bring this writing material to them
in their barracks. They also have n
library open to the use of the men
without charge.
“In short, T feel that the Y. M. C.
A. is doing more in a moral and re
ligious way for the men than any
other force and very probably than
all other forces. I don't think any
one could make a mistake In helping
them in their work.

to the Los Angeles Examiner refers
to Mixon’s work as follows: “In tho
middle of the second period Mixon of
Poly ran the ball from center field
to the five yard line, where he was
downed. On two bucks Mixon took
the ball over.” Further on in the
special it is stated Mixon, with three
others, starred for Poly. In a big
battle to be played today between
Los Angeles High and Polytechnic,
the Los Angeles paper says Mixon
is expected to shine.
