Banks of Woodruff County
Have Subscribed
$105,000.00.
At a meeting of the barkers
of Woodruff County held in Me*
Crory Thursday of last week the
$105,000.00 minimum Liberty
Loan Bonds for this county’s part
were readily subscribed.
Every bank in the county was
represented except the Bank of
Hunter. The four institutions
represented at the meeting
agreed to take $20,000.00 each of
the bonds and allotted to the
Bank of Hunter the remaining
$5,000.00.
Chairman T. E. Bonner of this
county has done some effective
work along the line which has
been assigned to him and is one
of the most enthusiastic boosters
for the bonds we have seen. He
says that he took a good amount
of the first loan and that he ex
pects to invest all his surplus
money this fall in the new loan.
Dr. R. R. James of Cotton
Plant who was present at the
meeting stated that if the peo
ple did not take a bond from the
government that when Congress
meets again they would take a
tax receipt instead. He said
that the bonds bore good in
terest, were a good investment
besides being a patriotic duty
for our people to subscribe for
them.
“The government has got to
have money to carry on this war
and if we don’t buy the bonds,
we will buy tax receipts in
stead,” said the Doctor, “And I
never could borrow money or
purchase anything with a tax
receipt, therefore I am going to
do as every patriotic American
should do, Buy a Liberty Bond.”
The bonds bear four per cent
interest and there is no better
collateral when you need to bor
row money. A tax receipt bears
no interest and is no collateral
whatever. The bonds are non
taxable and you can purchase
them on the installment plan if
so desired. They are issued in
denominations of $50, $100, $500,
$1,000, $5,000, and $10,000, and
every man, woman and child
who can possibly do so should
see their banker at once and
make application for as much of
these bonds as they can buy.
Among those who attended the
meeting we note: County Chair
man T. E. Bonner of the Wood
ruff County Bank, Augusta;
Cashier I. J. Stacy of the Bank
of Augusta & Trust Co., Augusta;
Cashier H. C. Argo of the First
National Bank, Cotton Plant; Dr.
R. R. James of the Bank of
Cotton Plant & Trust Co., Cotton

The 153rd. Infantry
The 153rd Infantry, U. S. N.
G., which was formerly the 1st
Arkansas Infantry, is Command
ed by Colonel Chas. D. James, a
man of unusual ability and lead
ership, who has as his Lieuten
ant-Colonel Colonel J. S'. Har
ris, a graduate of Annapolis N|
val Academy two years ago he
attended the Platisburg Camp.
As adjutant, Colonel James has
in Captain Watson Reynolds all
that could be asked of both an
aide-de-camp and chief-of-staff.
The officers and enlisted men
of the 153rd are congratulating
themselves on the fact that
among the many national guard
regiments that have been
brought into Federal service the
now 153rd has the honor of being
among the few that have gone
in intact.
The 2nd Regiment is now an
artillery regiment and the 3rd
has been divided up, the 3rd Ba
talion having been changed to a
machine gun company,
Few people in Arkansas are
aware of the fact that the once
1st Arkansas Infantry, now the
153rd Infantry, U. S. N. G., is
recognized by the war depart
ment as one of the most efficient
former national guard organiza
tions in the United States.

SHOE HOSPITAL
THE SHOE SHOP CALL
Our hammers beat to save your feet
From wearing a ragged shoe. *
Give us a trial and after a while
Your work will come back new.
Our stitches make a perfect rake
Across an existing rip;
You’re in luck to interest your pluck
With such a swoopiug tip.
The leather we use is not refuse,
But, rather, ’tis true as steel.
We make this raid to get your trade
True work is our seal.
Now, don't let those heels turn like wheels.
Or let those tongues come out,
But leave them here in qur care
And have them fixed up stout.
Don't let those soles wear full of holes,
Nor rips run on unchecked.
Whene’er we lose our pride in shoes,
'Tis a sign—ambition’s wrecked.
Now heed this call, you great and small,
Old as well as young,
Now sing a hymn of comfort’s rim,
Here before unsung.
G. T. EARLEY, Shoemaker
