Corning Courier Corning, Ark. June 11, 1910 Mrs. Eliza Jackman was before Mayor Olivers court Wednesday afternoon, charged with raising a disturbance with her neighbor, Mrs. Robinson, on the east side. Eliza has been before the mayors court on several occasions in the past, and has generally had her way with the residents of that part of town, until she met Mrs. Robinson, who gave her what Patty gave the drum, a good, sound beating. Besides having a black eye, the Jackman woman had enough hair in a bundle, which she claimed was pulled from her head during the fight, to start a first-class hair store. She was fined $1 and costs, amounting to $11.60. And all is well.

The Courier Newspaper Clay Co. Ark. April 23, 1910 Depot at Moark Destroyed. ========================= Fire destroyed the depot at Moark Monday morning at 4 o'clock, and it is thought the fire was started from a spark from a passing engine, as the roof was the first to catch fire. T. A. Casto is the railroad agent and also postmaster of the town, and the post office as in the depot. Most everything of value was removed from the building and saved. For a time it seemed that the stores opposite the depot, belonging to Avery & Strong and S. Greenwood would be destroyed, but by heroic work of the citizens they were saved. At present a box car will be used as a depot.
