was in at this time. ‘‘Most all the
people at Duffau have made good
crops and they are entering into the
crop for the coming year with a
great deal of zeal,” said Mr. Ar-
nold. “In addition to my duties as
deputy tax assessor for my section
of the county 1 have harvested 10
bales of cotton from 30 acres and
also gathered 960 bushels of oats,”
he said. When it is considered that

farmer. Mr. Arnold has been a
leader in church and school matters

years and people there greatly ap-
preciate his efforts and accomplish-
ments.
