the states money goes: 1T cost
the state of Arkansas $500 the

Banks can't afford to pay interest
on county funds, did you say? The
Carroll County Bank was recently
the successful bidder for the con-
tract as county depository for the
funds of Carroll county for the next
two years. That bank pays 5 is
per cent interest on all county de-
posits, and this interest goes into
tho common school fund That the
depository idea is growing is evil
denced by the fact that a large
number of depository bills are be-
ing introduced in the legislature.

That's costly, too.
We are not knocking on the court
officials.
We are giving plain fgures--and
figures don't lie, you know-as to
the cost to the county of the recent
term of circuit court at Hardy.
We are giving these figures for
the candid consideration of those
who read this paper, because 1t Is
to their interest to be acquainted
with the facts.
We insist that $7S5,70 is too
much money for q court of no
greater Importance than the last
Hardy court to cost,
We insist that when the county
spends that amount of money in
collecting $62 the county Is doing O
very poor business.

orine under an indebtedness which
until very recent years has been
quite heavy,

refused to vote for him, AS a re-

imagine his course toward the pres

FRANK JACOBY'S OUTFlTTING ESTABLISHMENT 4 MODEL
 INSTITUTION
The Successful Development of
 an Enormous Business

The word Success is today, like Wealth relative term. What one man may consider success, another
 might regard as a meagre competence. But there is more than merely the financial end of a mans business to consider in the summing up of his career. There is the mans person. ality, his purpose, his struggles, his honesty, his achievements. Tn all these attributes of commercial com petence Frank Jacoby has been a suc- cess. His personality has been a po- tent factor in developing his business, for he enjoys that cheerful, sunny disposition, which attracts people to him. He started out in business in Bridgeport in 1896 with a purpose, well defined, definite; another reason for his success. He struggled. Com mercial life is not pathway strewn with roses. Determined to conquer, things began gradually to come his way. He was honest. He decided early in his career that no man would ever be able to put his finger on any part of his transactions with man and say that there was even a question as to his integrity. All these com bined to create in this city business which was founded upon a definite principle, or set of principles, and have made Frank Jacoby a truly sue cessful man.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-29

Like other lines of enterprise we might mention, this business thrives upon MT. Jacoby's individuality. He is a hard worker. First at his store in the morning: he locks the door, sometimes late at night, long after earned recreation after the days work. He is a student. He studies his trade journals as carefully and conscien- tiously as the good student does his Latin. He knows his lessons. A look through his store will convince you of the careful manner in which he selects his merchandise, always with the idea in view of giving the most consistent interpretation of the seasons latest and most popular fashions, not forgetting the matter of high grade tailoring and general ser viceableness of everys article of mer- chandise in the store.f He believes" in his merchandise. He has absolute confidence in the correctness of style, the quality of the fabrics, and thor ough manner of the workmanship. He believes in his merchandise to the ex- tent that every garment is fully guar anteed, and for him to guarantee, is an assurance of no small order.
 Take trip through his well ap- pointed storerooms with me, and let us for a moment examine his stock
 
 of mems fall suits-every garment att tractive in it's value, style and shad- ing. Ladies' cloaks are the next mo- ticeable attractions at the right of the entrance door. They are encased in glass x and include the popular "Polo'' cloaks, and varied other de- signs of unusual worth. The chill dren's department is also noteworthy section. q Great care is exercised in hn nf 10 Uo a ytin of wear for children, as much so as in that for their parents. Suits and dresses now confront us in as fine an array as any feminine heart could Aish for. This season this depart ment shines to an unusual degree. The plains, the mixtures, the shades of browns, and grays, artistically make an elaborate showing which would do credit to any establishment in the StNte. Then our attention is called to tke miscellany-waists, com fortables, skirts, hats and varied assortment of articles too numerous to mention, and last, but not least, the ladies' fine millinery department of exquisitely beautiful hats. of every shade and hue The basement is equipped for the storage of surplus stock, and with a well organized tailoring workshop where all altera- tions are made without charge by an experienced tailor.

Tomorrow, Saturday, will be visiting day at the Jacoby store, and the public is invited to make their .scalls'' as lengthy as necessary to view the full line.
