Girls Missing Since Believed
Miss Jean Bolton, Well
Known In This County
i
Disappears In Miami
Sixteen Year Old Girl la
The Granddaughter of
Dr. E. L. Tribble.
GIRL'S PARENTS WELL
KNOWN RESIDENTS
OF MIAMI, FLORIDA
Many Friends Throughout
The County Anxiously
Await News.
Reports from Miami, Fia , late
Wednesday night as. The News went
to press, were that Jean Bolton. 16
year-old high school girl, who is
well known in Newton county, and
Ruth Frances Dunn, 17, high school
dramatics leader, are still missing.
The girls, ambitious for movie
! contracts, di-appeared early Mon
day with a man who claimed to be
a talent scout. The three left Miami
in a tan coupe with California U
cense plates for an unnamed Palm
Beach hotel, where they were to
meet a photographer. No word has
been received from them since.
Miss Bolton is a grandchild of Dr
and Mrs. E. L. Tribble, of this coun
tv. She is well known here among
the younger set because of her many
visits to her grandparents. She won
|a host of friends in this section by!
' singing popular songs on several oc
casions.
Young Miss Bolton was a singer
in the Royal Palm Club in Miami.
‘ A petite blonde, she obtained her
job by singing popular melodies and
winning a Mr jor Bowes n.dio tal
lent comest rribre than a year ago.
The young singer formerly lived
in Atlanta and had appeared on the
radio in that city several times. She
was the only child of Mr. and Mrs.,
Earnest Bolton. Mrs. Bolton, form
erly Miss Lois Tribble, was the
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Trib
bie, of this county; Mr. Bolton is .
from Walton county. |
Detective Chief L. O. Scarboro, of
Miami, reported only slim clues had
been received since he ordered a
police alarm broadcast for a man
identified as Charles Jefferson,
wanted for questioning as the driv
er of the car the two girls were re
in 1
ported as having last been seen
early Monday in Miami.
Detective E. W. Melchen. of Mi
ami, said he learned that Jeffer
son under the name of Tom Ash
well, was a former director of th'
Federal Theater in Miami but had
| left in 1936.
Miss Bolton is a niece to Sam
| Mutt, R. A Earl and Miss Betty
(Tribble, of Newton county. Their
many friends in this section are
hoping that the mystery will be
cleared up shortly and that Mis
Bolton win be returned to her anx
i ious parents,

Farmers Plan Small Acreage
In Winter Legumes for
Pasture,
We have talked with several
farmers recently who plan to seed .t
small acreage of their pastures to
winter legumes. We believe these
farmers are planning wisely. Th'
usual pasture acreage in this section
is composed of land that was too
poor to produce cotton and corn at
a profit and was thus abandoned
Presently nature tried to reclaim
the land by sedge and some bermu
da grass and the farmer immediate
ly built a fence and called it a
pasture. It is these unprofitable
acres on a farm that lower our in
come. Some brush in the gullies, a
few lespedeza seed on the ground
improve the fertility and a few
of the better grasses will make
acres profitable.
In our opinion the better pasture
program for most farmers is the
improving of a small acreage each
spring and fall for a period of years,
And they should be careful in the
purchase of seed and buy grasses
that Will remain on the soil over a
of years. Surely we should
have bermuda gras* and lespedeza
Then as we try to supplement them
we should have dailis and carpet,
grass as they are both perennials
and will keep coming back. Then as
we are able to add acid phosphate
and lime to our land we can begin
the introduction of winter legumes
such as burr clover, alsike clover,
white dutch, hop and other winter
legumes that will improve the fet
tility and increase the growth of the
bermuda by the increased fertility
as wet' as furnishing abundant gran

a good way to get started in pas
ture work is to sign up your farm
