Deposits of Union Bank and Trust Company More Than
One Million Twenty-two Thousand Dollars
STARTING a little over six years ago, building from the ground up with
out any consolidation of old businesses, this bank has readied the above
staggering total of deposits.
This record has not only not been equalled by any bank in North Arkan
sas west of the Iron Mountain railroad or on some side of the Arkansas riv
er, but it has NEVER BEEN EQUALLED BY ANY BANK OF ITS SIZE
IN THE WHOLE STATE OF ARKANSAS.
We are proud of this record, and we hav a right to be, and so are our
friends, and we want them to share in our pleasure. V\ e recognize that this
unusual success could have been obtained in only one way, and that was by
the unswerving loyalty and support of our many friends.
We have tried to merit that confidence and intend in the future to con
tinue our past efforts to serve the farming, business and financial interests
of our county and surrounding country the very best that is in us.
If you are not already one of our now nearly three thousand depositors,
come in and see us and let us talk it over, and let us show you how, with our
increased facilities and methods of service, we are in a position to help you
if vou will join with us to grow with this bank; for now AFTER HAVING REACH
ED* IN SIX YEARS WHAT IT HAS TAKEN OTHER INSTITUTIONS OVER A QUARTER CENTURY
to reach, we are not satisfied but paraphrasing the remark of the old warrior
apostle, “We will forget the things behind, except our friends, and press
forward to higher and greater achievements.”

BUY RED CROSS
CHRISTMAS SEALS
Governor Brough Urges People
to Assist in the Fight A
gainst Tuberculosis
Gov. Brough has issued the
following statement urging
the support of the sale of Red
Cross Seals for the benefit of
the Arkansas Public Health
Association, which seek to give
every county an anti-tubercul
osis campaign under the super
vision of a visiting nurse. Gov
Brough issued the following
tateinent:
The Arkansas Public Health
Association, which is a bra h
of the National Associati m 1
the Study and Prevention f
Tuberculosis, is carrying on a
very commendable campaign
to place visiting nurses in each
county of the State for the care
and treatment of the dreaded
tuberculosis. It is estimated by
the State health authorities
that there are 25,000 cases of
tuberculosis in Arkansas, and
last year there were over 2,300
deaths from the great white
plague. The Red Cross seals
cost only a penny apiece, and
the proceeds from the sale of
these seals will be used in plac
ing visiting nurses in every
county in Arkansas, to treat
tuberculosis patients. Fifty
four counties of the State have
already been organized by the
Arkansas State Health Asso
ciation, and it is highly des'r
ous that the remaining twenty
three be organized.
“1 regard this as one of the
most commendable humanitar
ian undertakings that has ever
been projected in our State,
and the fact that the Public
Health Association is under
the supervision of Dr. A. C
Shipp as president, and M. A.
Auerbach as secretary, both of
whom have been interested for
years in sociological work, pre
sages a very useful work being
accomplished by the associa
tion.”

win will speak in Batesville
Christmas week in behalf of
the Red Cross- Congressman

MRS, P. S. FORTUNE
On Tuesday evening, Novem
ber 27, 1917 at 7:30 p. m. the
cUath Angel passed over the
home of Brother 1’. S. Fortune
and claimed as its victim his
loving companion, his help
meet, his precious wife, the
mother of his children. What
a shock it was to the neigh
borhood. What a ten ible
j gloom is cast over the entire
community and church- It
grieves us much to have to
chronicle this sad dispensation,
of God’s providence as a fact.
Sister Eliza (Whi.sn- n' 1
Fortune was born Deeembei
24, 1876 in this county. Sh
was the oldest daughter of i he
late I) I) Whisnant. At the
age of 16 she was united in
holy matrimony to P. S- !’«»*•
tune, to this union was bi n
9 child] n, 6 girls and 3 h .
All survive her but one, lit do
Ella, aged nine, who proce lea
her to the glory world i, s
three months and 17 day :.
In the month of July, Idol,
she professed faith in Jems
Christ and with her bus and.
united with the Methodist Pro
testant church at Pleasant Hill,
under the pastorate ot Rev. E.
A. Horn. She lived a devout
Christian, a consecrated life to
God; her soul and body ’.ve
in the work for the Lord- Her
life and her precious children
were dedicated to God. ii<
home that was so happy and
so pleasant, and so attractiv ,
was consecrated, her posses
sions were consecrated; the
best she had was not too good
for the church and the cause
of Christ. She loved all Chris
tian people and churches and
had a high esteem for all min
isters of the Gospel regardless
of creed and they at all times
found a welcome in this Godly
mother’s home. Many are living
now that would attest the fact
that the Christian influence ex
erted in her home, the kindness
shown them, the hospitality ex
tended, had been a benediction
to them. While she loved all
churches and was at all times]
responsive to their calls for j
help, she loved her own the
best of all. It had the first
place in her heart. We, as her
pastor, have heard her say that
her God and church was first,
her loving husband and sweet
children second. She, like Dor
cas of old, was full of good
works. We can’t see now how
her place can be filled, but we
know that our God can supply
all our needs, and that all
things work together for good
to them that loved the Lord.
Oh, how she will be missed
) hei neighbors and friends,
: iid her pastors and churches,
but most of all she shall be
missed by Brother Fortune,
Belle, Blanche, Kate, Mamie
Clint, Graeie and little Char
les, only 3 years of age; and
little baby Burt only . nine
months old will never know
what a great and good mother
he had.
Sister Fortune was taken in
n Sunday, November 11. with
pneumonia and lagrippe and
bngered for seventeen days,
making a hard fight and do
ing all she could to get well.
She wanted to get well for the
sake of her husband and child
ren, especially the two young
st. Though sh*e was submis
sive and resigned to the will
f God, loved ones and friends
oped, prayed and trusted for
change for the better that
-he might lie restored. Rut de
spite the efforts of the faithful
nd untiring physicians, and
all the att ntion that loving
amis could bestow on the
above mentioned date and hour
surrounded by her heart broic
en husband and grief stricken
children and several other sym
pathizing friends she peaceful
ly fell asleep in the arms of
Him, whom she loved and ser
ved and entered into eternal
rest.
On Thanksgiving Day the
writer, held the funeral ser
vices assisted by Rev. E. A.
Horn, one of her former pas
tors, at Pleasant Hill church
attended by one of the largest
assembly of people ever as- ;
sembled at Pleasant Hill. After
the funeral her body was sol
emnly conveyed to the ceme
tery near the church and with
trembling hands and tearful
eyes we quietly consigned her
body to the grave to await the
resurrection of the just. The
floral offerings were large am
| beautifui.
May the Grace of our Heav
enly Father sustain the grief
| stricken family in this hour of
' great sorrow, and may you all
live so close to the Lord that
| some sweet day you can meet
dear wife and mamma and lit
tle Ella where partings are no
more.
With a smile upon her lips,
The gleam of Heaven in her
eyes,
Her soul was transplanted
In that home beyond the
skies.

AEROPLANES SOON
FLYING OVER STATE
It will not be long before
aeroplanes will be flying over
Arkansas as common as Eng
lish sparrows. The aviation
camp at Lonoke has been de
finitely authorized and active
construction work will begin
in about 10 days. This will cost
the State* something like tv/ >
million dollars, and will be the
second government enterprise
in the state. It is also probable
that a landing field will be
provided near Little Rock, so
that a regular aeroplane line
can b- established be'fw en
Lonoke and Little Rock. A
ground aviation school has
been suggested at the Univer
sity of Arkansas, and it is ex
pected one will be located
there, prvoided arrangements
can be made for machine gun
instruction, radio-electrical en
gineering work and photogra
phy. Similar schools have been
located at large Eastern uni
versities and are designed to
furnish preliminary training
for the work in the regular
avaition schools.
WHY THE ANGELS
PUT BABY OUT
The new baby had proved
itselt the possessor of extra
ordinary lung power- Oi\e day
baby’s brother, little Johnny,
said to his mother:
“Ma, little brother came
from heaven, didn’t he?”
“Yes, dear,” answered the
mother.
Johnny was silent for a mo
rn nt and then he went on:
‘‘Say, ma.”
‘‘What is it Johnny?”
“1 don’t blame the angels
for slinging him out, do you?”
