WANTS INFORMATION
Dear Editor:-By request of a
friend who lives in Lewisville,
Ark., I would like for you to pub
lish a short article to make some
inquiry about some lost brothers
of William F. Adair. He had
three brothers, John, David and
.lames, who lived in Oil Trough in
war times.
I noticed in your paper some;
time ago that a Mr. Andrew Adair
and his son, of the Center neigh-1
borhood, were visiting in your
town. It may be that he is a rel
ative of William Adair, of Lewis
ville, Ark., who is very anxious
to find some trace of his brothers.
Hope you can assist him in tl e
1 matter.
I was much disappointed when
Brother Brown and Bobbie’s let
ters were discontinued. They
, were very interesting.
Mrs. A. L. James.
R. F. D. 1, Batesville, Ark.

PURPOSES OF A BANK
The purpose of a bank is to be useful
and helpful to a community; to facilitate
"business by the exchange and extension of
credits, thereby making it possible to carry
on a vast amount of business with a com
paratively small amount of actual cash.
It is wrong to hoard money and bury
it in some old cellar and thereby take it
entirely out of circulation.
Bring it to this bank, where it will be
much safer and will help to earn you more
money, and yet be at your command.

GOOD FOR CITY FATHERS
At the meeting of the city coun
cil Monday night a movement was
set on foot to have the railroad
stock pen and the unsightly cotton
seed houses removed from Front
street. This is a matter that has
deserved attention for some time
and The Journal hopes the city
fathers will not let up until the
good work is accomplished, and I
h ront street given a thorough
cleaning up. Newark could be
made one of the cleanest and
prettiest little towns in the state
if our people would catch the spirit
of progress and make a little effort
to properly clean up and beautify
the town. The city fathers have
made the proper start. Let us all
join in encouraging the work.
