It Was a Strong Pull

Revere G. Lindsey, the old New Bed ford printer, is one of those staid old Yankees whose keen, dry wit furnishes amusement to all those who come in contact with them.
 One day when he went to get shaved the barber showed him a safety razor, and the old man seemed curious to know how it worked. So the tonsorial expert started to use it.
 MT. Lindsey's beard is one of those struggling, half-hearted affairs that grow six to the inch in spiral curves, and at the time of the story the aver age length was about one-half inch.
 Anyone who has ever used a safety razor knows that its fondness for spoil ing the heavenly chances of the user, when the beard is as long as that, Is very great,
 After being lathered, MT. Lindsey settled down into his chair with com fortable sigh. But the first stroke of the inexperienced barber brought him bolt upright with snap!
 The nervous barber, who was very fond of the old man, thought perhaps he had better go back to the regular razor. So he leaned over and said "Does it hurt too much, sir2"
 "What9' was the reply. "Oh, go ahead! Guess they n come all right if the handle holds. ''-Boston Herald.

MENA SHOULD IMPROVE GREATLY
The Greatest Need an Organized Ef-
 fort by Unselfish Men.

D. w. Graham ot dlawatha. Kas., who spent several days in Mena last week in looking after the Graham Clothing Company, one of his stores, in conversa- ton with representative of The Star had much to say regarding Mena and the business outlook here
 Mir. Graham said that the busi ness of his Mena store had made an increase of 20 per cent during the last year, and he. consequent- ly was greatly blessed with the outlook. He stated that general lv his business grew slowly in 3 new city. but when once firmly tablished he had no fear of losing it. He spoke very kind,
 
 of the good service The Star had rendered in the way of advertis- ing.
 Mir. Graham said that he con- sidered Mena splendid town. but that he felt it could and should be greatly improved, and that it's greatest need today was an organization of citizens that would work for the city and ex- pect their reward only from the growth and prosperity of the city. He said that any member of such an organization who at tempted to use it for private gain must be set aside if progress be made.
 Mr. Graham has number of stores located in different cities of the West and has strong ideas as 10 the best methods of build ing up town.

C. B. Baker, a Kansas City Capitalist. Buys 160 Acres Near Mena Says Mena Needs the Kan
 sas City Spirit"

c. B. Baker, a capitalist of Kansas City, who has been here several days inspecting the slate fife ds east of town, returned Mon- day afternoon to his home.
 So we'll pleased was MT. Baker with what he saw that he pur- chased a l60acre tract of fine slate land about fifteen miles east of Mena which contains an i'm. mense deposit of black and gray slate.
 Mir. Baker in conversation with a reporter of The Star stated that he expected to return here in the near flu ure and would commence the development work of opening g up a quarry. He also stated that he had fallen in love with Men and the excellent climate of this section and felt that the future oi the town was very bright indeed,
 Mir. Baker in speaking of the vast deposits of slate in this county said that the main thing needed to develop th.s rich sec ton of country vas railroad from this place to Hot Springs He said not only would the road open up territory of many rich resources. but would be of untold benefits to the city of Mena and 1t would be few years until we would have a bustling little cit of from IS 900 to 10000 people.
 He said that Mena ought to catch the ''Kausas City spirit" oi push and progress and insugu rate a movement to secure the building of this road and never let up until the line is completed and in operation.

of quite a number of farmers throughout the county an order was made offering a premium as author ized by this law. I am not certain as to the wisdom of this order and respectfully ask this court for their judgment as to whether this order should be continued.
 This concludes my report and recommendations to this court and with the hope that in our deliber- ation we forget selfishness but ap- propriate, regulate and legislate for the county as a whole regardless of any local feeling, they are respect fully submitted.
 Wright Prickett,
 County Judge.
The Mena weekly star., 1907-10-10

each year and i'll my opinion and judgment are in better condition to- day than ever before; although dur ing the present spring and early summer the heavy rains have given the overseers and the county judge a great deal of trouble. This, to- gether with the very heavy traffic in hauling lumber, has made it practi- cally impossible to keep our roads in good condition. The further fact that our road overseers are elected rather than appointed by the county judge, has in some instances resulted in our not getting as good results as we should have done. A feeling has arisen that being elected they are not subject to the orders of the county judge, and consequently a lack of harmony prevails. In my judgment, in few instances, the overseer is more interested Tn col Iecting his wages than he is in giv- ing the best possible service to his district.
 Tn this town have adopted a new system by way of experiment., that is. by giving one man charge oi from five to ten miles of road ana keeping him constantly employed on his road. I now have two so em- ployed. one man working on the road to Dallas and another l have placed on the Talihina road. Ter, sons who travel these roads are vel pleased with the results and II the experiment proves successful, ex meet to use the same system on eacr road coming into Mena for a dls tance of four to six miles. Inns system of improving public road' originated in Massachusetts ana i' being used in a number of the NC" Enoland states and it is reported that this is the most successful anc the cheapest way of keeping roadS in repair. 1 hope to extend thE system to other parts of the county
 This court at its meeting in octo ber. 1906, appropriated $5,Ooo fo' the building of two steel pridge and these bridges are now compieee' and within the next two weeks
 hone to have the approaches an' crading completed So that they ca be utilized at that time. All of tnl appropriation has not been used am aftar having for our bridges ther should at least be $2,OOo left un

would respectfully recommend that an appropriation be made for these two bridges. The two bridges al- ready built will be half paid for out of the funds of Mena special road district so that the expense of build ing will be very light on the county funds.
 Poor Farm and Paupers.
 The number of paupers cared for at public expense and charge on the county averages nine per month. This paupers are kept at an expense of $7 .50 per month, each, exclusive of clothing and medical attendance. There have been eight deaths among the paupers during the past year, but otherwise the health of the paupers and their condition have been good. There are now four paupers on the county farm and l recommend that the same appropri- ation be made for paupers as was made last year.
 Public Buildings and Property.
 I have made repairs and improve ments to the court house and jail to the amount of $1500 Sidewalks have been built on two sides of the court house square at cost of $320. Our jail is very badly in need of new cells as the present ones are practi- cally worthless and are unsafe to hold an ordinary criminal. believe that repairing the present cells will be a waste of money.
 New cells complete would cost at least S25OO or 5000 and shall not recommend an appropriation at this time but leave the matter to the wisdom of this Honorable Court.
