HOW ABOUT BRIhKLEY?

Over in Woodruff county the Drainage District formed under the county sold their bonds at a splendid price and are now going right ahead with the work. Thousands of dollars of cold cash are being turned loose right now at this dull season and it is making business, while the re- suit of the drainage is bringing their lands to the front and in- creasing their value to a sum greater than the cost.
 Right here at our very door the same conditions exist. The Piney Drainage District could be perfected and the bonds sold within 90 days time and thous- ands of acres of our land could be made exceptionally valuable.
 The ONLY thing the ONE thing needed is THE MAN OR MEN to go ahead and do the lit tie work necessary to perfect our plan as cur Woodruff county friends have dore.

k0N FOR THAT ROAD.

Since it is a fact that the pre- motors of the rice mill which wanted to locate it in Brinkley have made announcement that it will be built at Weiner it's up to Brinkley property owners to be up and doing.
 If there had have been a per feet road from Brinkley to the prairie rice belt making it prac- tical and safe to figure on wagon rice for the Brinkley mill 1t WOULD HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN BRINKLEY INSTEAD OF AT WEI NER.
 It is pretty costly proposition to be without this ONE road.
 An executive committee com pose l of A. Flora, L. K. Brown, and Jas. Gum have been ap- pointed looking towards the con- struction of the road.

 County Judge Holloway has been requested by the business men to come forward with a helping hand.

 Surely we must have it.

What a gift is tact! have always said

magnitude. She did not want 10 hurt any

sed them into service. and left sll Of them
In ignorance Of their duties.
They we're simply asked TO assist wher-
ever she wanted assistance, and one and
all readily agreed. That the affair passed
of successfully and with no wounded
feelings IS a tribute TO the cleverness of
the hostess, for one must believe that
there were all kinds OF dispositions with
which to deal. think 1t is the only So
cial function where no neighbor was
sighted that I have ever known, and ]
know that the presence Of each was
wanted. that the invitations were heart

Lemon Candy.

Put into a kettle three and one-half
pounds Of sugar, one and One-half pints
OF water, and one teaspoonful Of cream
of tartar. Let it boil until it becomes
brittle when dropped in cold water; when
sufficiently done take of the fire and
pour in a shallow dish which has been
creased with a little butter. When this
has cooled so that 1t can be handled add
teaspoonful Of tartaric acid and the same
quantity of extract Of lemon and work
them into the mass. The acid must be
fine and free from humps. Work this in
