Crittenden County's
Improved Roads.

The county roads in Critten-
den Co., are better at this date,
Feb. 10Th, than we have ever
known them, at least, in recent
years. In fact the roads are
good. The recent heavy rains
and overfows have washed out
some bridges and caused some
few mud holes but nothing like,
is usually the case, in this county
at this season of the year. Com
missioner Wilson hopes to put
what bad places there are. in as
good shape as possible before
the heavy delivery of tobacco
begins, which will probably be
March 3rd.

cidsnce, Mr.. w. H. Cardin of
View, one of this county's best

same time doing precisely the
same thing and before either of
them left Ben H. Thurmond of

in to pay his renewal and re-
marked that he took the first
copy "a years ago.

The Striking Of Bobby Broadway.

Concernig Zebulum's adven-
ture which has been running in
the Record-Press for several
weeks, a reader in a letter to the
author, from Springfield, Mo-,
has this to say:
"Hurrah for Zebulum-mav
his tribe increase! Three cheers
also for the brave little Nell and
the good Brother NARROW! When
| shut my eyes can see them
in their wild flight down the
Fords Ferry road. In my young
er days l have been over the
road dozens of times and know
what they had to contend with.
My hat off also to the plucky
sheriff and his jolly assistants,
including the good-hearted viii
lian,' Highfeld Jones. Their
successors in office may we'll
emulate their example.
An interesting story, told as
only Zebulum could tell it, not a
dull line in it and laugh in
every paragraph"

his business had been very good

CRITTENDEN, HOPKINS &
HENDERSON IN FAVOR.
Unit Vote Stood 80 to 81 Favoring
Sale-0ffer Made Monday for
Additional Two Million
DELIVERIES BEGIN HERE MAR. 3

The district board of the Stem
ming Tobacco Ass ociation met in
the city Of Henderson Monday
morning, and upon a canvass of
the vote taken Saturday by pool
ers regarding the disposition Of
the crop. 1t was ascertained
that a maj ority of the county
unit vote favored sellin & $500. 70
600 pounds at prices of 7 cents
for fired and 6 1-2 for unfred.
THIS CoUNTY's VOTE REVERSED.
Committeeman Travis Of this
county, reported that the infor-
nation given out Saturday night
that our growers had voted
against a sale was erroneous.
Instead of voting against the
sale the growers voted unanimou
ly in favor of the sale.
Union county reported two dis
trictS for the sale and two again.
st it Saturday night with two
districts missing. 1t is under
stood that the two missing dis
tricts voted in favor of the sale
making four i'm favor and two
against the sale.
COUNTY UNIT PREVAILED.
The district board decided to
count the county as a unit in
stead of the district. In this
manner the vote stood as follows:
For sale Webster. "a; Union s;
Crittenden, l. Total, 33. Again
st sale Hopkins, 9; Henderson,
%. Total, 81. With the county
unit vote controlling the board
decided to accept the offer of
buyers for $500, 900 pounds and
the contracts will be closed to-
day.
OFFER For Two MILLIONS
Buyers from Sebree and Mad
isonville came before the board
Monday morning and made pric-
es to take about 2, 600 600 pounds
over and above the above the
am cunt sold.
Owing to the ia ct that it will
take some time to get ready to
begin receiving tobacco, the
Stemming District factory will
probably not be open before
March 3rd.
We would earnestly advise all
person that have their tobacco
in bulk to look after it closely in |
the meantime, as it is apt to dam
age as the weather warns up.
Tobacco that is bulked in win
ter order, even when bulked ap-
parently dry. will get very soft
and damage when the weather
gets warm. The best thing to
do when it gets too soft is to
hang it up. The next best is to
take it up and shake it out and
rebulk.
