Added an article from the Arkansas Gazette on
a tornado that hit
Arkansas and Missouri in 1916.
Hundreds of people listed as dead or injured.
Flashback to 1916-
FINED UNDER TICK ACT - FARMER PLEADS
GUILTY TO VIOLATION OF STATE'S ERADICATION LAW
Clarksville, June 6 - G.E. Bennett, for many years editor of the Lamar Leader,
pleaded guilty to a charge of refusing to dip his cattle after he had been
ordered to do so. The defendant was fined by Magistrate Vol Howell. The
trial attracted many farmers. Bennett was the first defendant to appear in court
charged with violation of the act. Thirty dipping vats have been
constructed in the county and few have refused to comply with the law.
Editor's Note: It would be
interesting to know "why" they passed such a law? Did we have more ticks
then than we do now?

My first time out at a cemetery on decoration day.
Bayou Meto Cemetery!
I got to visit with my mentors David Brannon, Charlotte and Raymond Ramsey.
Met Linda Hatcher for the first time and lots of other wonderful people.
Was anyone down, scared, or upset at the cemetery? NO, everyone
had a great time visiting like a family reunion!. These are going
to be rolling around all over the state in the next two months. If your
cemetery has one coming up, drop me a line with the details and I will post
it. Mount Pleasant in Lonoke County is next week. |
