Richwood and Ring Communities.........1931.

We are extremely sorry to report the sudden deaths here of Mrs. Charles
COLTER and her infant daughter, whose remains were laid to rest last Saturday
and Tuesday. Survivors are her broken hearted husband and her mother and
father, Mr. and Mrs. John HARGETT, other relatives and many friends. Mrs.
Ruby COLTER was only 16 years old.

Elmer PHELAN and W.R. MYERS with their sons, Cecil MYERS and T. PHELAN, made
a business trip from here to Paragould on Monday of last week and visited
that city's radio broadcasting station.

The recent Spring-like days have caused local women to start house cleaning
and yard cleaning.

Visitors at our school last Friday afternoon were Bill and Charles ALEXANDER,
W.A. and Roy BROWN, Cecil and T.O. MYERS, Jessee HINKLE and Aster DAVENPORT.

Aster DAVENPORT called on the ROSSONS one afternoon last week for a haircut.

Ring Slough Bridge broke under a truck load of timber bolt blocks last
Thursday afternoon. No one was injured but the truck was badly damaged. No
effort toward repairing the bridge had been started last Tuesday.

There has been much moving taking place in these parts, lately. Lee MILLER
moved from the John WEBB farm to a residence on the SAND farm in Wildwood
vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond McKINNEY removed from a Wildwood vicinity farm
unto John WEBB's farm in this community.

Several women of this community have just finished and presented a Friendship
quilt top of pin wheel pattern to Mrs. O.W. FUGATE who says it is the nicest
present she has received in several years and that she will cherish it
throughout her future life.

O.W. FUGATE has been hauling logs to the Perry HOOPER sawmill for lumber,
preparatory to building poultry houses on the former's farm.

The Elmer PHELAN family and Mrs. Mabel BURGETT with her children visited the
Bill PHELAN family in Walnut Grove vicinity last Sunday.

Mrs. O.W. FUGATE distributed more than 20 dozen pairs of hose in this
locality and near-by neighborhoods last week. His brother sends them from New
York. I know the women and children here wish to thank her through the good
ole Courier.

Garden making seems to be the order of the day throughout this vicinity.
Farmers are beginning their field work, also sowing oats and doing other farm
work.
