 The brief mention that Felix Lu' tenbacher went to Mena the other day to make final proof on his homestead is not enough to say about the strenuous time our Ger man-American citizen has had in making his little 40-Gcre claim. In the first place. he and his family ,amped in a covered wagon on the claim until he could get a log cabin built, and as the weather was bad they endured many hardships. In a short time after moving out one of his horses died and soon after he had rented some land and planted a crop of corn and peanuts his other 'hOrse died. But even this did not discourage our friend. He hired men to cultivate his crops, and with the aid of his two little step-sons and his faithful wife kept at work on his homestead. All this time Lutenbacher kept working in his barber shop part of the time and walked over six miles back and forth from his home to town, Today he has a snug little home, nearly 20 acres cleared and under fence, and patent to his land. Here is a story of making a home under diff faculties, but it shows what a man can do when he tries right hard.
