A HISTORY LESSON

Your grandfather tended his corn
with a hoe. Your father thought
the old double-shovel was about the
best thing ever invented. TOU ride
along on a two.rcW cuitivator and
tend more corn than any ten men
equipped like your father or your
grandfather.
Again: Your father traded coon
skins for sugar. He had little real
money. Your father no doubt ses
creted his money somewhere about
the house, ran the risk of fire and
burglary, and sometimes loaned it
and never got ii back. And YOU?
Have you adopted modern money
methods of banking as you did with
cultivatine cornY Do you have a
bank account, pay by check and
enjoy the convenience and prolific
modern banking methodist Or do
you still use the old hoe financial
methods of your forefathers? Some7
thing here to think about.

The population Of Batesville, ac-
cording to the official census figures
given out recently, is 1899, whereas
the census of 1900 gave that city
.2,337. Citizens of Batesville de-
clare there are enough people liv-
ing on the outskirts of the city,
outside the corporate limits, to
easily allow the town population
of 4,500.
The late census gives the pop
ulation Of Lawrence county towns
as follows; Walnut Ridge, 1898;
Black Rock, 1918; Hoxie, 915; limbo
den, 800; Portia, 369; Minturn, 25l;

Walnut Ridge had a population Of

Too closely associated with the indie
