Thinks the County Got a Good
Deal.
He Refunded the $780, 900 County
Bonds For Half Cent Less
Than Expected.
HE SPENT A BUSY WEEK

Justice r. j. Barber, who has just re-
turned from New York City where he
was sent to finance the refunding of the
100000 county bonds, stated this morn
ing that the busiest five days he ever
spent in his life were spent in New York
City during his trip there.
Il was in New York five days and
was not in over three houses and my
hotel" he stated. Il worked the entire
time and never had chance to see or
do anything while there except attend
TO the bond business. White & Co., want
ed me TO hold the bond matter over, but
we did not want to do this, and | began
negotiations with the firm of Rudolph
Kleybolte a Co., one of the most re-
sponsible firms in New York. The firm
readily agreed to take the bonds and ]
have in my pocket certificate from the
cashier of the National Bank of Com
merce of New York City saying that he
had paid 100000 in refunding of the
bonds and that the old bonds were can
&C led in his presence"
Justice Barber returned as soon as he
finished this business, satisfied with his
work, for he got the bonds refunded at
per cent. when White 4 Co. wanted 4
IL per cent, the county making just
one-half per cent. The old cancelled
bonds have arrived here and will Tues
day morning at the regular meeting of
fiscal court, be burned.
Justice Barber saw more money while
in the Bank Of Commerce, which by the
way is the second largest bank in the
United States, than he had ever seen be-
fore in his life, he stated. ut would
make your head swim TO see the business
done by that bank and while | was in
the bank from 0 in the morning until 3
that afternoon waiting to fill my APP
pointment, | saw money, money, money,
and at the close of the day the cashier
handed me little slip of paper and in a
nonchalant manner said, How is this
for days business. Barberr
Il took the paper and read the figures.
The bank between the hours of a. m.
and 3 p. m. had handled 81 100000 and
this was told was not more than an or
binary day"
Justice Barber also noted the many
clerks employed in the bank. There
were nearly 300 clerks and. the business
was conducted with the most precise reg
ularity and system.
Justice Barber will frame a minute re-
port to the court to present Tuesday in
which he will tell of his work in refund
ing the bonds. Ii is in the opinion of
Justice Barber, although he does not
know it, that White 4 Co. were not pre-
pared to take the bonds and the firm
the bonds were refunded to is much
more responsible firm and the court will
no doubt be glad that White & Co. did
not take the bonds, a much better and
more satisfactory proposition having
been secured from the kleybolte people

LANDSLIDE DOES DAMAGE
Landslide at Tunnel B on White Riv-
er Road Retards Work and
Does $4,000 Damages.

There was another Landslide one
day the latter part of last week at
the entrace to tunnel 3 on the
White River Railroad, twenty
miles north of Harrison. SO great
was the slide that it is estimated
that it will cost the company $40,
600 to clear it away. 1t also pre-
vents work at the west end of the
tunnel until it is removed. This
tunnel has been one Of the worst
and most expensive pieces of road
ever encountered by any company.
The tunnel is $500 feet long and
it is estimated that it will cost the
company more than 100000. 1t
has been mud and loose rock most
all the way, which neeessitates
timbering and cementing. Tunnel
A. two miles north of B, was g.
400 feet long, but as it was solid
rock it is about completed and has
not been near so expensive as Is.
There are five tunnels on the line
between Cotter and Aurora, Mo.
1t is estimated that the construc-
ton of this road will cost the conf
pany more than So, 200 per mile.
The line is almost completed now
from each end, but owing to the
bad ground in tunnel B it will be
almost year before trains will
run through. Trains are running
now from the south to Yellyille, in
Marion County and the track is
laid to Georges Creek, SIX miles
west of Yellville, where there is a
trestle about half a mile long and
is very high.

WILLIE MENDENHALL DEAD
Died at His Home Friday Morning,
After Illness of Several Months
From Consumption.

Willie d. Mendenhall died at
his home in this city Friday morn
ing about 10 o'clock, after a ling
ering illness of several months
from consumption.
Willie was a most excellent
young man and leaves many
friends to mourn his death. He
was a member of the Christian
church and was consistent fol-
lower of the meek and lowly Naz-
areen.
During the past year he made
two trips to points in Southern
Texas and New Mexico in fruit
less endeavor to regain his health,
but the dread malady had him so
rigidly clutched in its consuming
grasp that all efforts to check its
onward progress, as it slow y but
surely consumed the vitality of a
young and useful life, were utter
ly unayailing, and he returned
home several weeks ago to pass
his last days among kindred and
friends. He sank gradually, and
Friday morning at 1920 the end
came as peacefully and calm as Il
babe falling to sleep.
Deceased was "A years old the
DIST of last May. He leaves a
mother, one sister and brother.
The funeral took place Saturday
afternoon under the auspices of
the Knights of Phythias, of which
he was an honored member. The
remains were inferred at Blue
Springs cemetery.

A Fine Gentleman.

The Due de Richelieu, the beloved Of
ladies, the breaker Of hearts, was the
perfect fine gentleman of studiously
elegant epoch. The suave repose Of his
manner was immovable. When his
second wife lay dying he came in to
see her, stepping softly, hat in hand.
Though she was expiring, her fading
eye lit up at the sight Of him.
GLOW sweet it would be for me to
die in your arms" she murmured.
He held her as she wished till she
died, then went out again, stepping
softly, hat in hand. One of his spiteful
chroniclers-a woman, needless to say
suggests that he was off to rendez-
vous with the lady of the moment, and
that the graceful manner in which he
bore the delay caused by his wife's
death was proof of the perfect breeding
of one Of the finest gentlemen in Eu-
rope.-Geraldine Bonner in The Reader.

Attention
Farmers.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months
in the year consuming what
you raise during the other
six months?
Go south where you can
work out doors every month
In the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now ''eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the ri
gors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both flesh forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro.
portions. Alabama and
Florida produce in abundance
the velvet bean and cassava,
the first a flesh producer, and
they are the cheapest and
best fatening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gener-
al farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck garden
ing along orr road i'm the
South than in any other
section of the Union.
