MANY SHOW INTEREST
IN BUILDING ROADS

Con Roar] Cu'lding Machinery
That the people of all parts
of Independence county are
beginning to awaken to a full
realization of the real value of
good roads was proven last
Tuesday when citizens from
various parts of the county
gathered near Pfeiffer to wit
ness a demonstration of road
building machinery.
The citizens of Batesville,
Cave City, and intermediate
neighborhoods are interestedin
building a good road between
those towns.The interest in this
matter is not confined to those
directly affected by the build
ing of this road, as was shown
by the large attendance from
all parts of the county.
The people are coming to
consider the building of good
roads as one of the vital prob
lems of today—not of the fu-i
tuer, but now.
Good roads mean more to aii
the people of Independence
county than any other one
thing. The people are begin
ning to realize this fact, and
when they fully determine to
BUILD GOOD ROADS they
will find that the task is nei
ther so great nor so expensive
as many have thought.
The oil tractor and grader
used for demonstration purpos
es showed what can be accom
plished in road building, and
the many citizens who witness
ed the demonstrtion were fully
convinced that this is by far
the b£st, fastest and most eco
nomical way to build roads.
The cost of a power outfit
similar to the. one used is less
than $2,500 and many believe
it woultl pay for itself in one
year. The tractor used was a
15 h. p. Rumley and it and the
grader are offered the county
for $2,290. A few of those who
witnessed the demonstration
thought the tractor a little light
and favored a 20 h. p. but all
admitted that it did good work
under a test that would be hard
to equal for severity at any
other point in the county.
A f no barbecue dinner was
spread at n<»>n near a spring
on Flue Creek. Another “dem
onstration” then took place, in
which everybody joined and
all the problems and troubles
of the day weer lost sight of for
the time being and everybody
enjoyed themselves.
A nu \ er ofNewark citizens
were present,, including Mayor
J. H. Holderbv, Road Overseer
J. W. Sis C. P. Vaughan, Dr.
A. A. Evans. E. Ft. Chesser, F.
C. Hoyt, O. F. Craig, G. O.
Magncss, T. J. Welborn, Wm,
Moor , Dr. T. N. Rodman.
Overseer D. E. Weaver,W.
J. Wales ip and B. B. Owens of
Magrn.s and Overseer M. M.
Rutherford of Craig, together
with a number of Sulphur Rock
citizens were present.
The road overseers from
more than half the townships
in the county were present at
the request of Judge Waldrip,
and they were unanimous in
the opinion that the county
should purchase an oil tractor
and grader. Judge Waldrip
stated that he would probably
buy such an outfit as soon as
he was thoroughly convinced
that it would do the work re
quired of it

A USEFUL PAIN
Newark People Should Heed

your back? Do you realizethat
it’s often a timely sign of kid

ment is a safeguard against
more serious kidney troubles.
Use Doan’s Kidney Pills.Pro
fit by this nearby resident’s ex
perience.
Mrs. W. B. Fryer, Broad st.,
Batesville, Ark., say:“My back
was very weak and at times, I
could hardly stoop over to lift
anything, it hurt me so. My
head ached and I often had
dizzy spells. The kidney secre

have used Doan’s Kidney Pills,
my back has been much strong
er and my kidneys have acted
as they should.”
