COMPLAINT ABOUT \
 COUNTY MUD HOLE

Mr. Editor:-
 It is rather singular, as well as puzzllng' that a hole in the road south of Pine Bluff should remain an impossible hole for years and years without any attempt on the part of some parties, whose business it is to see that such miserable place should be remedied This place m the road, even a country highway, is disgrace to the road Keepers, who- ever they may be; but to think that the place should receive no attention at all, when there are as many as 30 to 90 vehicles crossing it daily and these veh cles are loaded with pro- duce from country towns ell route to Pine Bluff, leads one to believe some officer must be asleep, soundly asleep or dGes not care for Pine Bluff 10 make any progress. A man can stand on the bank of this hole and shovel dirt and the best gravel in Arkansas right into the hole without nov ng out of his tracks. Beyond this bad place 200 yards man will turn over right ill the middle of the public road. and, reader, this is in JeffeTscn county. Is there any excuse whatever that these two places should not be repaired? If there is, it must be that somebody thinks this hole in another county. Now, why not leJ some one who has authority to attend such matters go and have this, the worst mud hole within twenty miles of Pine Bluff, and situ- ated exactly in the middle of one of the most thorough highways leading into Pine Bluff repaired permanently and save much swearing and horse wh pping.

NEGROES IN CUTTING SCRAPE
 AT HEARNDALE FARM

Both are negroes. The cutting, which occurred at 11:30 o'clock, was the result of a quarrel over woman. The weapon used was an ordinary pocket knife Morehead's wounds, two in his neck and two in his back are thought to be serious but not fat al. Dr. A. G. Thompson was called from Pine Bluff to dress the wounds Constable Babcock was notified i'm mediately, but the negro who did the cutting disappeared without loss ot time and had not been located at a late hour
