A Message to Arkansas Merchants

more distant markets and prices as low, the final cost to the buyer, freight added, at point of destination would be lower if bought in this market, to say nothing of the quicker, because shorter, haul.
 From this viewpoint the appeal of these 43 Little Rock jobbers is wor- thy of consideration. There are cer- tain goods that are staples in prices, so that it would seem to be possible to prove the claims of Little Rock jobbers beyond all question.
 In this connection it is in order to call attention to the great growth of Little Rock in the last decade The signs of material prosperity are ev- anywhere visible, in it's skyscrapers, hotels, substantial business houses, new manufacturing enterprises and public improvements. All of this goes to show increase in Little Rocks business, for in no other way could this increase in population be support ed or such improvements be made pos sible. Little Rock has earned the rep utation of being able to handle big things, big conventions, big enterpris- es of all kinds; the latest proof of this confidence being in the intrusting to Little Rock of the great Confederate reunion of 1911. If those abroad thus have such confidence in Little Rock, certainly it should be shared by the people of our own state and of the Southwest.

This was the expression of lady when she called to get brooch that she had left to have repaired.
 The brooch was polished and refin- ished and the work was properly done and she said it was really new again; and the price charged was so small it also surprised her.

would be unfortunate indeed II the
Kern-Cliton freedmen were finally en-
rolled merely because they are on that
roll. II the supreme court Of the Unit

OVER $4,000 YET
FOR CRAIG COUNTY
Letter to Representative Ratclln Gives
Statement OF Amount Of State
Funds Apportioned.

For the information of our readers
relative to the amount of money that
has been apportioned to Craig county
to be loaned to the farmers at FIVE per
cent by the commissioners OF the land
Office, the following letter to Repre-
sentative Ratcliff is published Any
one caring to make application for
such loan can secure blanks from
Mr.. Ratcliff.
Hon. h, N. Ratcliff,
vinita, Oklahoma,
Dear Sir: The farm loan depart
.ment resumed business on March Goth
1910, and we are now prepared to re-
ceive applications for loans and make
the same where titles are perfect in
very reasonable time. You under
stand the permanent common school
fund was apportioned among the 76
counties of the state pro rata upon
the basis Of the rural poulation, and
an amount apportioned and set aside
for farm loans in each county. Your
county was ap2ortioned s5O,961.OO and
Of this amount up to date we have
loaned the sum of s27,700.0O upon Inn
proved farms and county current ex-
pensc bonds, and there is yet remain
ing to be loaned the sum OF $23 ,261.O0.
My object In writing you this com
munication is to call your attention to
these facts in order that you may ad.
wise your farmer friends who are de-
sirous of obtaining loans that we are
now ready to receive applications
/ am enclosing TO you blank forms,
etc, which you may have an opportun-
ity to use and thereby save any farm
er who Ii desirous OF applying the de-
lay in writing to the department for
the same.
The closing down OF the depart
ment by reason Of the supreme court
decision has left the impression
throughout the state that the state is
not making loans, and many loan com.
pany agents who are competing or at.
tempting TO compete with the state
are taking advantage OF this fact, and
misleading prospective applicants by
making the statement TO the effect
that we are still closed down.
Kindly advise persons whom you
come In contact with that the loan
department Is re-opened and doing bus.
mess and on behalf of our board. l
desire to thank you for whatever In.
terest you will take In this matter
Yours truly.

Unique Law Enforcement
On the Texas Frontier

San Angelo, Tex, May 6-The death
of Judge Preusser, in New Mexico.
last month recalled one of the most
picturesque figures of the Wild and
woolly days on the Texas frontier.
Judge Preusser was closely associat-
ed with San Angeles early history, be-
ing the first mayor of San Angelo and
Justice of peace prior to that.
Il was In 1916 when J. G. Preusser.
fresh from Germany, cast his fortunes
In the Lone Star state and became
one of the band of colonists who open
ed the first wagon road between New
Braunfels and fredericksburg Later.
in 1868, he came to Fort Concho, now
in the city of San Angelo The eoun-
| try was open range and besides the
scattering cattlemen there were only
Mexicans soldiers and rowing bands
of Indians Little by little the ever
lyenturesome settler gathered around
Fort Concho until there became as
varied a class of fortune hunters as
could be foun din the days of 49. Dur
II ing this period, Judge preusser was
chosen justice OF the peace and es-
tablished a reputation for quick JUS
tice equal to the famous Roy Bean,
whose shlngle adorned the front OF
his cabin thusly Law east of the
Pecos.'
Judge Preusser ike Roy Bean,
mad and administered law as the oc-
easion demanded An instance of bis
unique decisions. humorous but yet
born Of an mate desire for justice
without technical barriers, is retold
to this day by early acquaintances.
One was of an American, q type Of
bad man, who operated a butcher shop
for his livelihood and who was charg-
ed with striking a Mexican woman
with beef neck The woman had
asked for a nice piece of beef and
being rendered the neck contemptu-
ously spurned It. whereupon the irate
butcher struck the woman across the
face with the beef neck.
Upon coming to trial the defendants
lawyer argued that an American could
not be guilty Of offense by striking a
Mexican and moved a dismissal Of the
case The court promptly ordered the
lawyer to sit down and said to the de-
fendant. This womans evidence and
your admission Of the facts show that
YOU have committed an outrageous of.
Tense against law, order and deeency.
The enormity Of your offense is be-
yond the jurisdiction of this court,
but will let you OF on these condi-
tions-you are to furnish this woman
daily for two months two bits worth
Of such quality Of meat that she may
desire and any complaint by her of
short weight or poor quality will re-
sult in your being held for the dis
triet court"
"But this is not according to law, F"
angrily replied the defendant.
"That may not be law, but IT'S Jus.
tlce and If you say any more ri send
you to jail was the final retort of
the Judge. which ended the case.

blanched with fear and this alone per.
haps saved him serious trouble One
