MUST CLEAR OUT.

Jonesboro. July g. Just as soon as United States engineers finish making a survey of the land to which no title has been given in the St. Francis valley the 'squatters who have been set ting on Gthe and will either have to seek Ia new location or pay S1.25 an acre for their holdings. to secure a title. The survey Is being made to ascertain the hold ings of the settlers. A number or land sQuabbles are expected to occur as a result of the work.
 Some time ago it was rumoref that the government intended to confiscate all unsurveyed lands and dispose of them through a lottery process This report caused hundreds of squatters to settle in the territory in hopes of securing the choice locations when the land was disposed of Tn many instances original set tiers were unable to hold their places as they were unable to get title. Now they will be giv en a chance to secure title.

TWO APPOINTMENTS

Little Rock, July $ Governor Donaghey this morning issued two appointments of great in- terest to the Arkansas State Guard. The first of these went to General B. w. Green as Ad- iutant General and the other to Capt. F.. l. Compere as Assistant Adiutant General. These appoint ments were. made after weeks of study Of the situation by Cover nor Donaghey With the small ap- propria tion for the State Guard and the separation of the office of Adjutant General from that of Secretary to the Governor. it became necessary for the ap- pointment of some one as Ad-
 iutant General who would take the positsoni for the honor with out the expectation of remuner- ation. Gen. B, w, Green who has been one of the prime spirits Of the Guard from it's organization and a prominent eX-Confederate soldier was finally decided upon and he consented to accept the appointment. The selection of an Assist tant Adjutant General was a far more delicate condition as there were so many applicants for the position. This position carries a salary of S125 per month and is one of the most i'm portant in the State Guard, as the official must be on duty at all times Capt. Compere has been

MONSTER PIE FoN TAFT.

Strikers to Present 1t at White House
on Thanksgiving Day.
President Taft, who with fortitude
little less than sublime has been par
taking of all kinds of new and strange
dishes on his tour and smiling as If he
liked them, has another ordeal before
him. The Pie Salesmen's union, whose
members recently went on strike with
the pie bakers, decided recently to
make the president Thanksgiving
day present of a monster union pie,
the largest ever baked. 1t is to be
delivered on Thanksgiving morning at
the White House by Henry Henkin
and d. Papin, two members, who are
tried and true union men.
The decision was reached at meet
ing Of the union at Odd Fellows hall,
SO st. Marks place, New York. When
the meeting was over Secretary Schutt
said:
''The mince pie will be the biggest
and best ever made. The men who
will make it know just how to build
pies, and it win be so crisp and APP
petizing that when it is finished all
who eat it will wish there had been
more Of it. 1t win be made at one of
the cooperative bakeries started by
the strikers.
The largest loaf Of bread ever made
was fifteen feet long, three feet wide
and two feet deep. This mark will be

New Rapid Transit system Linked
with the welfare Of Newark.

With the Welfare of Newark.
The announcement in last weeks
papers that the present indications
were that the McAdoo Hudson Tan-
mel System would be in active opera
tion between Newark and New York
some months sooner than was origin
ally anticipated, has been watched
with great interest by real estate and
other interests of both cities.
Any one at all familiar with condi-
tions as they exist in Newark and
New York to-day cannot fail to realize
what modern rapid transit means to
Newark and vicinity. The tremen-
dous increase of population in New
York makes it necessary to tax every
outlet, and it is confidently expected
that the McAdoo service will prove
strong element of added Importance
in the further development of Newark
and the Oranges and other suburban
points.
This increase of population, it win
be readily seen, means more business
and ADDED profits for Public Service,
So that the stockholders of that cor
poration are optimistic over the fu-
ture of this company's securities, par
ticularly in view of the strong state

FOR BUSINESS

County Officials in Damp and
UnwhOIesOme Quarters
CONDEMNED FOR 20 YEARS
Ordinary Humanity and Ordinary
Courtesy Should Bring About
Change of Existing Conditions

Editor of the Banner: You have ask
ed me for my opinion as to whether
the county of Bennington should vote
to build a new court house and Jail at
Bennington
For about twenty years the grand
jury of Bennington county has annu-
ally condemned the bennington coun-
~ Jail as an unfit place in which to
keep prisoners For a longer period
than that | have known that the court
house was an unfit place for the daily
business habitation of the county Off
GERS. was county clerk for Eve
years During that time | suffered
continually from facial neuralgia and
neuralgia of the nerves From the
time / left the court house / have
never suffered one twinge from that
disease I sincerely believe that the
death OF my father. John V. Hall the
death of Harry r. Cushman, our late
county clerk and the death OF John Y.
Carney, our late probate judge. are
all largely TO be ascribed TO the damp
ness and unwholesomeness Of this
building
| believe that the county of Ben
nington, if it has a full knowledge of
the facts, does not wish to keep lAose
who are unfortunate enough to be
confined on a charge OF violating the
laws Of the state of Vermont, in a
place which has been condemned an
nually by the grand jury of the coun-
~ as an unfit habitation for human
beings.
further believe that the county
does not desire that those whom it
may honor with its choice as county
officers should be compelled to ieopar-
die their health and strength by
spending their daily lives in surround
ings which must eventually almost
certainly destroy them.
believe that II the intelligent voter
OF this county has knowledge OF the
facts and of the imperative necessity
for new buildings for county purposes
that the poll lax payer viii not grudge
theten cents which the building of
these buildings viii cost him annually
for period of three years now will
the property owner begrudge a tax of
five cents on the dollar of his grand
list for the same period Ordinary HUI
manity would teach us the necessity
OF providing suitable accommodations
for those accused of crime ordinary
courtesy would show the necessity of
providing suitable accommodations TO
conserve the health of those who are
spending their business lives in the
service Of the county
sincerely hope that every voter
who has the real interests Of the
county of Bennington at heart and
every voter who intends to conscien-
tiously cast his ballot next Tuesday
will vote In favor of new court house
and jail for Bennington county
Trusting that have not unduly
trespassed under your time and space,
! am.
Yours very sincerely.
