Marshal MATTHEWS, postmaster and store operator at Benton, who also does farming on the side, has considerable more respect for terraces after the four-inch rain on his 80-acre farm the night of June 19. The field in the corn this year had some terraces to protect the steeper area and Marshal said he figured the more gentle slope above the terraces would not erode to any appreciable extent. However, he said after the four-inch ran he found out he was very much mistaken.

Howard D. POLLARD announces the installation of a new five-ton air conditioner in the Pollard's Royal Blue Food Store in Kellerton. The entire sales floor is effectively cooled by the large unit which is located near the meat case in the rear of the store. The Pollard Grocery is now the only completely air-conditioned food store in Ringgold county.
