 -exarkana, Ark, July 13, 1913
 Dear Edgar
 Well, here's little surprise for you-this letter. I've been thinking about you for week at least, but it has been so blooming hot in day time tlsat I haven't done thing but eat and sit under an electric fan and read all day. At night we take long auto rile and then go to the Chatau- qua. I.y the way, that is the first one I ever attended and is one of the finest entertainments in existence. do hcrc our people will get busy and book item for Pine Bluff next year. The arrangement here was that the commit .ee of arrangements guaran- teed them $1,5OO and to raise it sold eco season tickets, god for every per- AOA uudACO dt Y-.oO CdCu lOl grown-ups and $125 for kide. The sessions were held under a big tent (without side walls) at Spring Lake Park md consisted of splendid music, reading and lectures. Two sessions day-afternoon and night-were held and a morning session for the kids at the tent and also at the high schd ol building, under the direction of the Chautauqua workers. It was is delighted. Not one single drunken or disorderly person showed up, or the; least disturbance occurred during the entire seven days, although the park and tent were filled with thous- ands of visitors. That speaks well for the town to a. a.certainty.
 As to towns it is no disloyalty to Pine Bluff (the best town in Arkan- sas in many respects) when state the fact that. this burg" has us beaten block each way when it comes to costly residences and beau tiful grounds. I don't know where they get it but these people seem to have all kinds of money and lots oi civic pride. The 'tight-wards arc few and for between. The streets here are not paved like ours but grad ed and gravelled, the material being plentiful near by. $2o0,000, the pro- ceeds of bond issue, voted by. the people on the Texas side, have been < spent in building gravel turnpikes on that side of the line, extending into the country in every direction. When I ride over these country roads sometimes at speed of twenty-five < miles al hour or even faster, I think that if our people Gin Arkansas) could only realize what they mean to the farmer, as we'll as the urban dweller, they would no longer allow themselves to be misled by politica demagogues and would adopt .tAmendment No. 15' or one like il by an overwhelming majority. All things come to him who waits, but z the coming of constitutional amend me1t allowing the people to issue bonds for necessary internal i'm r'provements could be hastened a good deal if the newspapers of our state would take it for permanent text and preach on it constantly until the next legislature meets. With the ex- ception of the Little Rock Gazette flew papers in Arkansas have done more than refer to the subject of eood roads semi-occasionally. Now that the merry war in politics is about over, I hope for better things along this line in future.
 Speaking of politics, We Brundidge men should all rub little arnica on our sore places, if we have any, and
