73 YEARS AGO
The Pilgrims Rest Church in the Bethesda community is installing an
electric light system this week. On Sunday, Reed Marshall and S.A. Gill
will be ordained as deacons. The Rev. Kirkbride will preach the ordination
sermon, and the Rev. King will assist other ministers in the ordination
service.
Approximately 150 Independence County farmers attended a meeting in the
courthouse this morning called by the county agent to hear W.H. Muldrow,
Cooperative Extension agent in charge of the corn-hog reduction program,
explain the plan. E.D. White, marketing specialist for the Extension
Service, also a speaker, explained several charts which showed that prices
farmers had to pay went up while the products they had to sell went down
during the past several years. Cooperation with the government in
production control is the only hope of the farmer in bettering his economic
condition, the speaker said.
For those tardy Batesville vehicle owners who have put off buying their
city auto license tags until the last minute, Mayor E.F. DeCamp has
announced that he will remain in his office for a few hours after 6 p.m.
today to issue licenses. Those who wish to purchase tags for the reduced
rate of $3.50 must do so before the office closes tonight, as the regular
charge of $5 will be in effect after today. The mayor said there will be no
extension.
A searching party led by Mrs. Lula G. Parse, county probation officer,
found the grave of a small baby in the yard of a place in the Hutchinson
community which had been occupied by the Scroggins family. Mr. Scroggins
has been taken into custody and charged with murder.
