J. H. Wallace of Nashville, Tenn.,

week to make suggestions concern*
ing proposed plans for the erection
of a new church on the Clark property,
where the home formerly oc
cupied by Mr. and Mrs. M. M.
Drake and family rests. j
Tentative plans call for the erec-!
tion of a church to cost around
$15,000, including fixtures. The
j new building is to be located about(
, midway between Main street and
r Bragg street. |
L It' is understood that the property

To qualify the above farm must

f act provides that this producer
must be paid a minimum payment j
1 of $10.00 provided he qualifies for
3 the payment. His payment for soil
i building is now $5.00. Suppose he
terraces or subsoils sufficient ac
reage to qualify for the additional
' $5.00 payment. This would give him
I a total payment of $53.75. He has
planted to cotton 6.5 acres and his
yield is 250 pounds per acre. Assuming
he made the yield assigned*
on his acreage and sold his cotton
for 12 cents per pound, this would
give him an income of $195.00 plus
' his $53.75 payment; or a total income
of $248.75. This would give
1 him $38.26 per acre for his 6.5 acres
of cotton, or 15.3 per pound.

JEWELRY STORE
HERE IS ROBBED
Entry Effected By Breaking
Glass; Officer Short
Hears Crash
NO CLUES UNCOVERED
No clues have been uncovered
leading to the identity of the person
or persons who broke into the
J. A. Pipkin Jewelry Store here or
Wednesday morning about 4 o'clock
and robbed the place of around
$250 worth of property.
The robber or robbers entered
the building after smashing a small
hole in the front glass door with a
piece of pipe. Inside the building
the thief or thieves went through
the show cases and display windows,
taking watich fobs, watches,
pins, vanities, fountain pens, bracelets,
and other items of jewelry
which they placed in a ladies bag
nnH slinneri awav from the building
through a small hole which had
been made in the glass. A Luger
pistol, highly valued By Mr. Pipkin,
was also stolen.
Night) Officer Kenneth Short
stated that he heard the glass crash
when he was in front of Boyce
Drug Co., two and a hal/ blocks
where the sound came from. He
started an investigation and is reported
to have said that when he
reached the side street where the
store is located he saw a man
leaving in a car which was parked
down in front of the armory.
The fact that the robber or robbers
took the time to remove pins
and watch fobs from their clasps
on small pieces of cardbord, and to
take the watches and bracelets
from their cases, leads Mrs. Pipkin
and otilers to believe that the pillager
was in the building for at
least 20 minutes.
Sheriff W. J. Finnell is working
on the case but stated yesterday
afternoon no tangible evidence had
turned up.
It is understood there was no insurance
on the stolen articles. The
more valuable property was kept in
a safe, which was not tinkered
with.
