to the presence of these. Pure iron
can be shaved with a pocket knife;

Movement Has
Been Started
To Improve the Appearance of the
Center of the Town of
POCdhOntaS

AT the last regular meeting of
the council, it was ordered that the
city marshal spend half of his time
in work on the streets and the 9th
er III patrolling the town. He
was also ordered TO have all empty
boxes and rubbish removed at once
from the sidewalks.
The first of the week quite a
number of boxes and other articles
that were an interference to the
pedestrerian was removed from the
walks and adjacent to them. We
have been informed by the marshal
that it is impossible to employ
help to clean the court square and
we believe that it will be up to the
business men who have their place:
fronting on the four corners to
have the work done themselves. 1t
would not consume over an hours
time if we would all get busy witt
a rake and other implements anC
give the court square a general
oyerhauling. 1t is common talk
that there are lots of people who
have not yet paid their road tax and
it seems that there should not be
any partiality shown.

POCahOntas Pays Better Price

The Walnut Ridge Times Dis
patch of last week contained local
item to the effect that Walnut
Ridge was paying the best price
for cotton, so far as it had been
able to learn, stating that on the
previous Saturday thirteen loads
were sold at that place at $4.75 per
hundred ponds. Now on the same
day A. z. Schnabaum of Pocahon-
tas bought 23 loads, paying for
same $500 per hundred. The fact
is, Schnabaum has not paid less
than 5 cents per pound for any
cotton this season. We understand
that Biggers and Reyno have both
paid more than cents per pound
for a few loads on different occa-
sions and Success has also been
mentioned as good cotton market
this season. This week Schnabaum
has been paying around the $3.50
mark.
