What do you say about a leve
turn pike to the Ohio River? II
can be had. The level right-o1
way could easily be surveyed by
going north, down the Rochester
Branch to Crooked Greek, then
almost a Decline to Fords Ferry
across the bends of the creek al
the outer edge of the bottoms,
without any hills to climb until
near the river the road could
gradually ascend above the high
water level or out of the way
of back water. Heavy loads
hauled over without locking OF
scotching wagons. No brakes
needed. Two horses could pull
a six horse load as the road now
is. Such a road would mean
almost as much as a railroad
and it would cover one-half the
distance to Weston and the coal
mines. Poorer counties than
Crittenden have turnpikes.
What's the matter with us? We
have the material and could raise
the money. who says we don t
need the road?

WATER-MELONS AND PEACHES
A Feast of Fruit Furnished Us by
Faithful Friends.

Our friends are still remembering
us with gifts of peaches and melons
in generous quantity and of the
finest quality.
Monday our friend, Mr. John S
Fulton, sent US the biggest water
melon we had seen this season, up to
that time. 1t weighed As pounds. On
Tuesday, however, another thought
full friend Mr. Albert Moseley of Sal
ters DEPOT, sent US beauty-Scaly
Bark variety that tipped the scale
at so pounds. We have seen bigger
melons than these two, but never any
better favored or more palatable.
Then the peaches! Mr. ] H Rear
don of Mouzon brought us a sample
of his white cling peaches last week
that were large, juicy and delicious.
Mrs ] C McCutchen, of the Beulah
section near town, in remembering
her friends in town with gifts Of
fruit did not overlook the editor.
The box sent US contained one dozen
perfect specimens that would equal
in weight two dozen of ordinary
size. To say that we thank these
kind friends would but family ex-
press our appreciation.
Then, last but not least, Coroner
Gamble brought us bag of his nice
peaches. Our friend Bob" says he
started out with the bag full, but so
many of his constituents had to
sample" them that nearly half
were gone by the time they came
into our hands. Coroner Gam
ble's peaches are noted as being
among the finest in his community
and needless to say those he brought
US were thoroughly enjoyed.
By the way, Coroner Gamble says
that he has the pig fattening and
he will surely give that long-prom-
ised barbecue in the early days of
golden autumn when the frost is
on the pumpkin and the folders in
the shock"

today. Quiet and unassuming. yet
firm in his conviction, he welded an
influence in his community that will
live long after he is gone. With a
kind heart and tender sympathy
he was never too busy to heed
the call of friendship, and those in
trouble who went to him were al
ways cheered and helped by his wise
counsel and sympathy. We knew
him for many years and felt proud
to claim his friendship and in his
death we feel a keen sense of per-
sonal loss.
He has fought a good fight; may
he receive the reward of the faith
full when he joins his old comrades
in their silent tents on Fame's eter-
nal camping ground"

THIRTY THOUSAND
POUNDS OF TOBACCO
WERE SOLD ON kINGSTREE
MARKET LAST friday.
FINE PRICES PAID.

Kingstree tobacco market opened
very auspiciously last Friday, there
being sold, in round numbers, 9O.0 900
thousand pounds of tobacco on the
floors of the three warehouses. Of
course this is less than one-half the
amount sold at last years break,
but in view of the fact that the crop
is about so per cent. short as COM
pared with last year, Kingstree mar
ket makes a very creditable showing
indeed.
Another fact to be considered is
that the prices paid for tobacco this
season will be double those of last
year for the same grades Of tobacco.
Most of the tobacco brought here
so far has been primings or sand
lugs and all have brought fair prices.
The 10000 pounds sold here last
Friday brought from five to eleven
cents pound. One man showed US
his sales sheet for 500 pounds of his
poorest tobacco, the same quality he
said brought IA cents last year.
This year he got the tidy little sum OF
$41.25, or 8 Ia cents pound. Sew
eral more showed US their sales sheets
and none that we saw fell below 6
cents a pound.
With three warehouses here,
Kingstree now has one of the livest
markets in the State. There are
more buyers than ever before, all
the big concerns being represented.
besides a number Of independent
operators.
Following are some of the com
panies and their representatives
here: British-American Tobacco Co,
L M Walker; American Tobacco Co.
A B Hopgood; Imperial Tobacco Co,
S Jenkins; ] N Boyd and Taylor
& Co, ] G Slaughter; Durham Leaf
Factory, H T Warren, and P B
Powell for Hughes Tobacco Co.
With all the inducements offered
it is expected that despite the !
short crop Kingstree market will
handle as many or more pounds of
tobacco than was sold here last year.
Those who brought their tobacco
here Friday went sway delighted
with the prices paid. Nearly every
seller expressed qualification not
only at the money he received for
his product, but also at the cour-
teous attentions bestowed upon
them by our affable warehouse-
men and their polite and experienced
assistants.
