those carefully and we'll conducted

has always worked hard. having
forged his way from a farmer in the
bottoms to the well fixed and pros

For the past eight years off and on
he has been in business here in
Blevins and has always been success
full because he carried very select
line of goods and sold them to the
people at living prices. In his pres
ent store Mr.. Burke has all sorts OF
staple and fancy groceries, and also
handles feed and produce, and his

who comes here and stays any length of time, has
fallen in love with our great state, since finding
out the many advantages, such the fine equable
climate with extremes OF hot or cold, the large

therefore a man who is practical and capable to

tlon, while the rates are more than
reasonable. Occasionally a big horse
or mule sale Is pulled off at the
barn, and altogether it is one of the
most popular places of it's kind to
be found in this section of the coun
try. On this account it is doing a
most gratifying business and the
proprietors are usually pretty busy
men. Edgar Wells was born and
reared around Blevins and attended
the community schools before going
to Arkadelphia to take literary
courses at Ouachita College. He has
been in the mercantile and stock
business all his life and is prominent
among our people Today besides
his interest in the livery stable, he is
also engaged in buying and selling
all kinds of stock, mainly horses,
mules, cattle and hogs, and ships
these in car load lots to St Louis
and other big stock markets. He is
owner of both farm and town prop
erty, and takes a vital interest in ali
movements tending to better tho
condition of the people and advance
the interests of the town. Mr. Mes
bitt was born in South Carolina. but
came here three years ago after
some time in the adjoining county Of
Pike. He has been a farmer all his
life and knows how to handle horses,
therefore knows what it takes to run
first-class livery barn. Since re-
siding here he has made a host of
friends, and is always found witt
thoes who are working and trying to
build up the town and attract out
side people to the community for
the purpose of locating future
home. In other words, both Mr.
Wells and Mr. Nesbitt are among our
boosters and can always be found on
the fighting line.

a large trade is enjoyed in ice cream

the business is that of poultry, and

They have achieved success by

home in the entire country tributary
to Blevins, where they are owners OF
residence property, and honored and
respected for their many fine char
acteristics, as well as by their loyal
ty to the best interests OF the COM
munity in general. Last December
the L. S, government placed tn
postoffice in their store, and Mr.
Stewart was appointed by the presi-
dent as postmaster. and this goes q
long way toward making their store
a most popular place.
When you come to Blevins you are

given the glad hand by them and as
sisted in every way possible, as well
as being royalty entertained while in
the community.

WELLS 4 NESBITT
Big Livery, Feed and Sale Stable.
Mr.. Wells Prominent
Stock Man.

Equally important with the lead
ing enterprises which give reputa-
ton to a city or town for pregres-
siveness and for commercial and pro-
fessional facilities are those estab-
lishments contributing to the com
fort and convenience of the public.
and among the latter class none IS
more important than the livery bust
ness, and the travelling public often
forms an estimate of the town by
the excellence of its various accom-
modations, of which the livery plays
such an important part. especially in
a good growing town like Blevins
which is surrounded by a large ter
ritory which is best reached by liv-
cry teams and conveyances. This
barn is an old established one, but
was purchased by its present pro-
prietors, Warren Nesbitt and Edgar
Wells, just recently, and under their
capable direction the patronage is
steadily increasing. The barn is
conveniently located, and both pro-
prietors are thoroughly familiar
with the wants and needs Of the
travelling public, as we'll as the local
citizens. They keep about ten head
of livery horses on hand constantly,
horses that will get up and go in
stead OF jogging along, and get the
patron to the place desired in the
shortest possible time. They have
all kinds of rigs. such as buggies,
carriages, phaetons, surries, etc, and
all are excellent turnouts, strong and
durable. while careful and experi-
enced drivers are furnished when de-
sired. Horses are boarded by the
week or month for local people. and
all are given close care and atten-
