Cumberland plateau at Maryland, I'M

purchased $500 acres in the woods
without clearing, houses or fences.
Immediately from New Jersey and

story OF this wonderful development
Is told by Rutledge Smith. industrial
agent of the Tennessee Central rail
road, as follows.

acre tracts, one tract to the family,

Schwartz Of New Jersey. an educated,
cultured and trained farmer Of large
experience, was made manager OF the
colony, and the work of development
has been under his immediate super
vision. As the colony is cooperative
In every respect, all the work is done
by the Bohemians, no outside help be-
ing employed
The first work that was done after
the property was subdivided was to
build few comfortable cottages to
care for the pioneers. This done,

these sturdy people for bringing them

B. p. 0. E. NEW HOME.
Handsome New Building to Cost S3o,OOO to be Built on South
 Front and Washington St.

At It's regular meeting held In this city Tuesday night, Forrest City lodge No. l2l9, B. P. O. E., settled the much mooted question of a site Tor its new home by selecting for that purpose the B. D. Hatcher livery stable lot on the corner of South Front and Washington streets, where 1t Is announced that the lodge will shortly begin the erection of hand. some three-story building at cost of S35, 900, to be used as an Elk's home.
 The lot, which cost the lodge s5OOO. is ideally situated for an Elk's Home less than block from the Rock Island depot and the Hotel Marion. A more convenient and accessible site Tor the aceommodati tion and conve. nienee Of the travelling public coul q not have possibly been found. and while there was some dissension and much discussion over the proposition, we believe that the lodge as well as the public will soon be agreed that the Elks have acted with wisdom and good Judgment in selecting a central location for it's new home.
 The building of this beaut tifu1 home on the South Side will no doubt in- splre and prove an impetus to other needed improvements, such as the ,hlling in and Identification of the Rock Island park just east of the Hotel Marion and north of the Elk $ nome site, and the paving of the prin- cipal streets of the... business district. The Times congratulates the lodge and stands ready to help it's members boost at all times.

NelsOn's Leyee.

Across the L'Anguille bottom, where the Military road, west of Colt, touches, can be seen the best piece of leyee work ever done in this or any other county. This levee is one mile in length, 40 foot base, l6 foot crown, and entirely above the high water of last spring, In constructing this leyee, the constructor, Mir N. E. Nelson, of this city showed his knowledge of levee building by 1 leaving "burn" of or feet on both sides of the base, instead of ex- cavating from the base stakes, thus strengthening the work and prevent ing the earth from being lost by washes. The work was commenced August of 1911, but the incle ment weather prevented it being finished until September ok this year. But the delay was to the advantage of the leyee, for the rains packed the earth until it is solid as an old road
 The road is completed to the L'An- guile river, and it's opening only awaits Judge Rolfes decision, as to whether he will place a steel bridge, or repair the shacklety old structure now there called bridge.
 This leyee brings our neighbors west of the river close to us, and opens up country which should be the boast of the county. Heretofore the people west of Colt, had to thread their way through the bottoms in the best of seasons, and during rainy sea- son had an insurmountable sea of mud and water between them and the east.
 The Times man is under obligations to Dr. Rush for the visit, who took the party, consisting of N B. Nelson, Bard Nichols and Ed Landvoigt, in his auto, making the trip in short order At Colt, MT. Newsome. the surveyor, joined the party he having some little work to do on the levee. oH iCtuiiibS diI u U Ill U U l | c Was met containing party from Des Arc, who were on their way home from Chicago, and had taken the new road as the nearest way home. One of the party was the County Judge of Prairie County, and what Dr. Rush omitted in boosting good roads is not worth mentioning. The run home was made in 50 minutes, manifesting what good roads mean.
 The Times dubs the new levee "The Nelson Levee," as monument to the characteristic of the contractor who believes "that anything worth doing is worth doing we'll"

Had Narrow Escape.

Holland. very narrowly es- capped death yesterday afternoon at Quigley while engaged in loading logs He had one log on the wagon and had pulled another up in place. when he stepped over within the loop of the loading chain 10 release his team. He had unfastened the mules when the second log rolled off the wagon and down the skids, with the result that the heavy steel chain, within the loop of which young Holland was standing, was suddenly drawn taut, catching the unfortunate boy just back of the neck and snatching his head and face up against the log that was on the wagon with great force, but luckily the chain passed over his head, otherwise the young man would have been killed.
 The shock and the blow rendered Holland unconscious for time. He was rushed to his fathers headouar- ters at Whitmore and q physician summoned from Forrest City, who dressed his hurts and brought him on to his home in this city that morning. The young man sustained very serl- ous and painful bruises and his face was so badly swollen and discolored this morning that he could not see. He has the sympathy of everyone in his misfortune.
