MT. VERNON.

Two weeks have passed since our
last from here. Incidents and time
come and go, but still the worldly
days, will say that Mrs. Fannie Dun
things move on. Going back a few
away Hogan came out on the 10th
inst to give US reading. Pete Rice
was to entertain with the new graphic
phone, but Pete must have proven a
'jonah" for the rain. 1t poured down
until the entertainment was rained
out, which the entire community re-
GREETED, for all were anxious to hear
Mrs. Hogan, especially read "The Lit
| tie Rebel" But some of us were not
entirely disappointed for having en-
tertained Mrs. Hogan in our home,
and having some nearby neighbors
and friends to come in, we just had
"The Little Rebel and number of
other readings anyway by Mrs. Ho-
gan and Miss Minnie Lee Jones which
we all enjoyed until the late hours
arrived, reminding us of rest and
dreamland. Mrs. Hogan promised to
come again in the near future, which
promise must be kept.
Next came Easter Sunday, and on
Saturday afternoon was surprise
party given the little folks by Miss
Minnie Lee Jones, with an Easter egg
hunt, and also one at Hotel Sanders
on Sunday afternoon, where about 30
or 40 children met and had a good
time.
Prof. Partain's music class closed

Mr.. McHenry, our road commission
|er, came out last week with the iron
bridge man and reviewed the grounds
at the Cadron, where the bridge wash
ed away Arrangements have been
completed for the construction of a
new steel bridge, and several loads of
steel have been hauled in, and we are
soon to have new bridge. But let US
not stop here. Let us have better
roads if all of US have to go down in
to our jeans and help out. 1t will pay
wonderfully we'll. Good roads will add
value to every farm and each COM
munity through which it passes.
The writer met the gentlemen afew
days ago who bought the nice old
farm of David Goodloe, near Bethes-
da church, six miles north of town
about 100 acres, for something like
$2,25O, or $22.5O per acre. He says
such land in Illinois, where he came
from, would bring from 500 to $3.50
per acre. No wonder they come south
for homes! Several others have sold
out near Bethesda and Rosebud for
similar prices. Not long will be the
time when these choice farm lands
will double in value and good homes
will be wanted by our own people who
have owned and improved them. We
need the connecting link of railway
from Dardanelle to Bald Knob right
through Mt. Vernon to make this one
of the most prosperous counties in the
state. This road would connect Mem
phis and Fort Smith, the east and
west by direct route.
