(Continued from front page)
have left upon us is our bad
roads.’’ He 'showed where the
present cost per ton, per mile, of j
transportation is 2714 cents when
it should be about eight cents.
Mr. Owen stated that the State |
Highway Department now has |
ready for distribution $496,000.00
and that from $800 to $1,000 per
mile will be paid out of this fund
on any rock road to be built in
the state now used, or that may
be used, for carrying the mails.
He also stated that the depart
ment now has an attorney to pass j
on all road matters and that no
legal prtcee lings can be institu
ted against a proposed road af- j
ter ten days have elapsed from j
the time same has been approved
by the attorney.
Judge Emmet Vaughan of Des
Arc, made a strong talk for good
roads and told of his people hav- i
ing recently sold bonds for the
building of a rock road from his
town toward Cotton Plant to the
Woodruff county line. He spoke j
in favor of the proposed route of j
the Bankhead Highway passing
through Cotton Plant and Des
Arc, showing the advantages of
crossing White river between
these points.
Every town represented favor-;
ed the Highway coming from
Little Rock via Des Arc to Cotton
Plant. The Hunter people want
it to continue east through their
town to Wynne or Crawfordville
and are now forming a special
road district for a rock road from
Cotton Plant to Hunter, to offer
the Bankhead Association as an
inducement to have their route
adopted. The people of Howellf
Wiville, DeView, McCrory, Jelks,
Augusta and Newport want the
Bankhead Highway to continue
north from Cotton Plant to Mc
Crory and east from McCrory
to Wynne.
Concerning the Bankhead
Highway Association Clubs at
each town Mr. Fletcher Lewis
reported 70 paid members at Mc
Crory, Mr. R. B. McKnight re
ported 30 members secured at
Augusta on one day’s short no
tice and Mr. W. B. Scott repre
senting Jelks reported 28 mem
bers. The Club at Cotton Plant
is now being organized.
A motion by Mr. H. 0. Pen
rose, of Hunter, prevailed that
the chairman name a committee
of three to select a route for a
rock road from Cotton Plant to
Hunter, likewise a motion by Mr.
Harry Snapp, of Fitzhugh, and
Dr. B. A. Fletcher, of Augusta,
for the chairman to name a com
mittee of three to select a route
for a rock road from Cotton
Plant to McCrory.

F. M. Hagler who has been
employed as barber at Cullum’s
Tonsorial Parlor left Monday
for Carbondale, 111., to join the
army.
Last week we unintentionally
made a couple of mistakes as fol
lows and beg pardon for any in
justice done those concerned: We
stated that Mayor Barber did not
seek a second term as mayor in
the recent town election, when
we should have said a third term
as he is now serving his second.
We also stated in the article
about Mrs. Patterson’s birthday,
that she received a present of
$50.00 in gold from Mr. Jimmer
son. The present was given by
her son, Hon. M. H. Patterson,
of Jelks.

Starting a Telephone Talk
WHEN you have called for a number onj-h®
telephone and you hear a voice say, ‘‘This
is So and So, Mr. Such and Such speaking,
you know at once whether you have the right
number or not.
On the contrary, if the voice says “Hello! Hello.
you are in the dark, and you are obliged to waste
time in asking.
When called to the telephone always introduce yourself at once.
It saves all preliminary questioning, and avoids confusion.
