Important Road Meeting,
McCrory, August 6th
(Continued from front page)
give us a direct route into Mem
phis and finally into Little Rock
as well as providing a good road
for our people from across the
Bayou and other parts of the
County into McCrory.
Now as to the appointment of
the commissioners: The law, as
you know, provides that the
county judge shall name the
commissioners but as you indi
cate there is some doubt about
who might be named I am will
ing, in order that nothing I may
do might hurt the road, to leave
this matter entirely in the hands
of the people. It seems that
quite a disagreement has come
up over this question and I feel
that the people are the ones to
settle this matter in the right
way. You are aware I am sure
that some have stated that very
few people attended the meeting
about which you wrote me at
which time certain estimable
gentlemen, in whom I have the
utmost confidence were selected
to be presented for my considera
tion. In order to remove all con
cerned from any unjust criticism
I will appoint the men who are
selected at a mass meeting of
the people residing in the terri
tory affected. Said mass meet
ing to be called at least one week
before it is held by public notices
published in the McCrory Home
News stating that a meeting
will be held at a certain place al
a certain time in McCrory for
the purpose of selecting commis
sioners for the proposed road.
I shall appoint the men so select
ed. I believe that the above
will satisfy all parties concernOc
as a just way of composing this
difference.
Allow me to say in conclusior
that any thing I car- do lawfully
to help you all out with your
road I shall do. I have nothing
but the kindest feeling for ever}
-one in McCrory and vicinity anc
I shall certainly do nothing al
any time to injure the people or
to trespass on their rights. 1
shall thank you to advise me the
date of the meeting as T shal
attend.
Your friend,

Line Up Labor
For the Fall Harvest
For the harvest of the fall
crops a great deal of extra help
will be required, and for this
emergency the Government is
undertaking to mobilze the idle
labor of the State. Arrange
ments have been made with the
County Clerk of this county to
register the names of farmers
who will need help and the names
of men who are available for
employment. If you will need
I more hands on your farm, or if
you are out of work, leave your
name at the court house at once.
Also, see the Secretary of your
! Commercial Club or your County
Agent, and let these men help
! you. It is to the interest of the
nation that the crops be quickly
gathered, to avoid waste, and
that the surplus labor of the
State be employed. There need
be no scarcity of farm help or
unemployed men if this free em
ployment bureau is made use of.
Money Not Tied Up.
Money invested in Liberty loan
bonds is in no way “tied up.”
So far as the Government is con
cerned the money paid in for
these bonds, including that loan
ed our allies, is to be spent in
this country ana therefore im
mediately paid back to the peo
ple for labor and products of the
United States. So far from be
ing “tied up,” this money is, in
; effect, never withdrawn from
' circulation.
So far as the investor in Lib
erty loan bonds is concerned, his
money is not “tied up,” since
! there is always a ready market
for United States Government
; bonds. Everybody knows this.
As shown by the subscription,
the demand for Liberty loan
bonds exceeded the supply 50 per
■ cent. This creates an immedi
• ate market for the Liberty loan
bonds. Another issue will be of
fered to the people, the an
nouncement of which will be
- made by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo in due course. The
■ oversubscription of the first is
i sue Ts an indication of what may
be expected for the second.—U.

He sat in his door at noonday,
lonesome, glum and sad; the
flies were buzzing about him, led
by a blue winged “gad.” Not a
customer darkened his portals,
not a sign of business was there,
bnt the flies kept buzzing about
the old man’s hair. At last he
shouted, in misery: “Great Scott,
I’m covered with flies!” And
the zephyrs that toyed with his
whiskers said, “Why don’t you
advertise?”
