The gold standard has slain" no
one, nor did it write the future
in blood" nor did it destroy our
homes nor foreclose the farm mort
gage, nor did it close the dis
trict school; on the contrary, 1t has
proved the sound and solid foundation
of widespread prosperity. leading to in
dividual progress and happiness, aided
in paying Off the farm mortgage and
expanding the country's educational fa-
ciltes.
1t has brought such prosperity to
our country as was never known before.
Americans are the happiest and most
prosperous people on earth today.

Nessrs. H. D. Rogers and Z. E. Bell
Of Pine Bluff were in the city Friday

situation here with view to estab-
fishing another telephone line to this

secretary Of the Cleveland Co. The
latter company has already establish
ed Il considerable system over Lin

as far south as Relf's Bluff. They
would therefore have only about 10

ease they decide to enter the field, it is
proposed to sell to the citizens of the
