Joe Hudglns, of Mena, has held a judgment of some seven or eight thousand dol lars against Polk county, and though he had tried in every possible way to secure a settlement the only thing he got was the horse laugh, and that he found would not pass current even as county scrip, An effort was made through his attorney. Col.

DuVal, to Induce the county to Issue scrip for the amount of the Judgment, but the county judge would not listen to the prep osition. Application was then made to Judge Rogers for a mandamus' to com pel the county to settle in some way, but the court refused to take action Just then. In the meantime Mr. Hudglns got the county judge of Polk coun ty to agree to levy a tax out of which one thousand dollars could raised and -apply that amount to the judg ment. Yesterday Judge Rogers called Col.

DuVal to the bench and told him that hereafterthe practice of the court would be to Issue a mandamus on any county owing Judgments to pay them off in scrip, and told Col. DuVal that If he would ibake application for such mandamus he would issue it. Fort- Smith News v. An' entirely new Industry has been started in Black Rock.

J. H. Myers is the promoter. It seemed a great waste of the raw ma terial to have all these mussel shells piled out on the banks of Black river by pearl-hunters going to waste. Dr.

Myers has deviBed ways and means for utilizing them. He will start a button factory and has already collected twen ty tona of shells and has them stored in town. The nearest button factories to us are located at New Boston, Illinois, and Muscatine. Iowa. One car load of buttons can be gotten out of five carloads of shells.

So it can be readily seen that it would not pay to shin The doctor will put in a ten-saw plant, run by a gasoline engine, Baw out the blank buttons, then ship to a finishing establishment This plant will give employment foren or fifteen besides a large fqree engaged on the river bank. 'The doctor will begin his pearl-fishing business again very soon and will locate barges loaded with barrels on all the shoals, where the shellB can be dumped into the barrels by the fishers and receive pay for the shells whether they find pearls or not.
