appreciated by the members of the
lodge at this place. He has been
making annual visits here for the
past nineteen years and has witness
ed a great change in Masonic

few in number of members, to one
of the strongest, numerically, and

GOOD WORK HAS
BEN DONE RECENTLY
By Marshal Jess Haynes and
his Force of Men on the
Streets of POCahOn-
taS

City Marshal Jess Haynes, who
has had force of men at work on
the streets for the past month, put
ting down concrete sidewalks along
the main thoroughfares in town,
has made a wonderful improvement
in the town, in more ways than
one. In the first place the concrete
walks are wonderful improvement
over the old board walks, secondly
they enhance the value of property
and thirdly they NAL the town take
on the appearance of being up to
date in all respects. Where you
have good walks and clearly kept
streets, it shows to the outside
world that the town is progressive
and up to the minute. More walks
will be bui t at once and we trust
that the day is not far distant when
every sidewalk in the corporation
limits will be concrete.

Gold Mines This Year

Little Rock, Aug. ls.-Fruit
buyers who are returning to North
ern points after spending the past
month in Arkansas purchasing peach
es, state the number of millions of
dollars brought by the last crop of
peaches will never be known, on ac-
count of the great number of home
canneries which were operated in
the big orchard districts this year.
The buyers state nearly every large
orchard has provided itself with a
home csnnery of recent patent, and
even the smallest of these put mp
400 cans a day, with many of ii Q
home canneries having q capacity
five times that amount. Most of
the ripe fruit was saved in this man
ner and it will not reach the mar
ket until winter, and then only in
small lots. Every printing estab-
lishment in the fruit belt carried big
stocks of brightly colore1 labels for
the home canneries, and all are said
to have done rushing business this

Yes, that bridge is going to be

men at this place.
We are informed that Holman

Louis, will have charge of the con-
crete work on the pier here.

MANY 'FORffITURES

State Has Come In Possession Of
100000 Acres OF Land

taxes which have become state prop

They show much heavier delin-
quency than ever received before

cause the tax of So cents per lot
assessed on $40 valuation has not
been paid. This is not the first
time the townsite has come back
to the state land commissioner, 1t
having been paid out several times
previous. The real big bargain in
