HOLLY INVESTMENT & LOAN co
J. G. DAVIS, President.

The most ancient truism to day
is, that actions speak louder than
words In truth. be it said. the
Holly Investment d Loan Co., of
which Mr.. Joseph G. Davis is the
ruling spirit. has done more for A
Greater Holly the past year than
he is commonly given credit for,
and to that end The Chieftain
calls attention to number of
deeds we'll worthy of the readers
perusal.
BY patient, diplomatic effort, he
has lowered the prevailing rate of
interest one percent on farm loans,
receiving the gratitude Of many
interested parties.
Mr.. Davis is the same gentleman
who pleaded for lower insurance
rates for Holly. and they are now
in effect.
To the untiring efforts OF Presi-
dent Davis is due the construction
of the twenty new residences and
barns on the east side of Horse
Creek, within the past three
months, adding at the same time
fifteen hundred acres to the produc-
ing area Of the Holly district.
Although Mr. Davis is the most
unassuming of men, he is without
question one of the staunch friends
of the entire Arkansas valley and
a man who can always be depended
upon when the interest of the
country or town are at stake.
Finally Mr.. Davis bears the
same relation to the Arkansas
valley as the Paul Kauvars of
Europe, and The Chieftain is glad
10 chronicle the deeds of so emil
nent a builder as he has proven
himself TO be.

Her heart beat fast, she kissed so

Turkey and Cotton.

Memphis Commercial Appeal.
A farmer in the uplands of Tennes-
see packed three cranberry barrels
Cranberry barrels are smaller than
-four barrels) with dressed turkeys and
shipped them to Memphis. The three
were sold at wholesale for $3.50. There
were less than fifty birds in the lot
and none of them large
If this farmer grew three bales of
cotton it took seven to nine acres of
his hill land to make it. The value of
the seed probably paid the rent ON the
land, leaving the cotton for the labor
of making and gathering it an interest
on the money invested in tools, stock,
etc. He sold this cotton for $45 per
bale. 1t brought him about what his
turkeys did. The growing of the cot
ton took weeks of labor and time; the
turkeys hustled for themseles and ate
bugs ard worms which would probably
have damaged his cotton. Each of
them at maturity found ready cash
sale.
Isn't there something in this show
ing in favor of turkeys as against cot
ton, or in turkeys in combination with
cotton? And if small barrel of tur-
keys with the feathers plucked is
worth $43. 33 13 cotton is certainly not
high at $45 per bale.

The editor who can please everyone
is not suited for this earth, but is en-
titled to wings. Human nature is so
constituted that some of our readers
would like to have us feed them on
scandal; some would like to have us
tell the unvarnished truth about them,
while others would kill us if we did
it. 1t is a comforting thought to the
editor to know that the Lord Himself
did not please everyone while on this
earth We labor hard to entertain and
please our subscribers, but that we
should occasionally fail is to be expect
ed, but will always find us willing to
be forgiven. Stevenson, Ala, Chron-

Biggest Wall In World.
ATLANTA Journal.

Atlanta Journal.
A wall that is reputed to be the big
gest and longest in the world, with a
single exception, is being built in At
lanta to surround the buildings of the
grim institution called the federal
prison.
The only exception to the claim
which this wall would otherwise pos
sess to being the biggest in the whole
world is the great wall of China, that
stretches for hundreds of miles as a
barrier, erected hundreds of years ago
after nearly century of work, against
the wilderness where the barbarians
roamed
For four years has this big prison
wall been building near Atlanta, and
it is not yet nearing completion. 1t is
just little more than half done, say
the authorities, and some two years
more will be required before the fin
ishing touches can be put on.
During the four years past an aver
age number of 275 prisoners have beer
working on the wall every day except
Sundays and national holidays, ant
over $4,000 barrels of cement have
been consumed
At this date the wall has taken shape
around the biggest prison yard in the
country-25 acres-in the form Of {
square with the northeast and north
west corners inverted. 1t is completed
to half its height, all the way around
and the top half has been added tt
form the complete wall through hal
the distance around.
