WATCH-BUYINC ADVICE

Intelligent watch-buying requires
Judgment on your part in two things,
the case and the works.
These two items that constitute a
watch are obtained by the jeweler
from two factories that are unrelated.
The works are fitted into the cases by
the jeweler and the price of the COM
pleted watch depends on the cost of
the two.
Thus, you can buy very fine case
containing a cheap movement, and
think you are getting a bargain, or
you may buy a cheap case containing
a fine movement and be deceived
again.
1t is the proper combination of the
two that makes the watch of worth.
No Watch Deception at our store.

.HEBER SEEKS ROAD
 THROUGH FAULKNER
CITIZENS OF RESORT TAKE STEPS TO BUILD HIGHWAY
 TO LITTLE ROCK.

According to dispatches from Heber Springs, citizens of that resort have begun an active campaign to build a good road through Cleburne county to the Faulkner county line, in order to take advantage of the superior high ways through Faulkner and Pulaski counties to Little Rock A meeting of the Heber Springs Board of Trade was held the first of the week and a committee appointed to undertake the road improvement work at once. For mer Mayor Mortimer Frauenthal, for merly of Conway, is one of the leaders in the movement
 Cleburne county's roads are said to he unusually poor, and until recently little attention to them had been given by the people, For many years after the constitutional amendment permit ting the three-mill road tax had been adopted the voters of Cleburne coun- ty returned large majorities against the tax.
 Should the road be constructed 1t will be an advantage to Conway, as we'll as to Heber Springs. Much trade comes to this city from Gle burne county and improved highways would doubtless increase this trade:

LITTLE ROCK AND
 ARCFNTA AT WAR
NORTH SIDE SALOONISTS
FEEL SURE OF SELLING II. QUOR AND WANT NO
 MORE COMPETITION.

Little Rock, Nov. 6.-To the vic tors will go the spoiis, so far as the liquor petition which will permit sa- looms to operate in Argenta next year is concerned. The administration of that town has made it plain to the saloon men of Little Rock that if they are to sell liquor under the Going bill, they must go and secure majority of the white adults of the town, as the Argenta saloonists claim to hays done. This means that if Little Rock fails in getting up a petition, that the saloon men cannot move across the river and enjoy the increased trade that will go to Argenta saloons. The only way Little Rocker can get into Argenta will be by purchasing one of the saloons already there.
 The fight has just started in Little Rock, and though it looks as though the Chamber of Commerce will hit the rocks through the action of the majority of the board of directors ad- vocating the petition, the Board of Trade will do likewise. Practically all the directors of the organization favor the open saloon, and will come out in favor of the petition.
 It has been reported that the anti saloon workers of Little Rock, anger ed by the success of the Argenta sa-
 loon men will circulate a three-mile petition to prevent the sale of liquor within three miles of a Little Rock school, which would include Argenta. They would hardly succeed in this, however, for it has been tried several times, and the negro would have to be reckoned with there, as the Going bill had no section on three-mile petitions.

Alabama Suffers
Effects of Storm;
Greenville Struck

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Feb. IS
Alabama suffered heavily from the
storm which swept western Georgia.
The greatest property damage was
done at Greenville in Butler coun-
ty. though later reports received are to
the effect that much of central Ala
bama has been laid waste by the storm.
Long distance telephone messages
with Greenville established the fact that
the cyclone was at its greatest inten-
sity when houses We're unroofed and
uprooted and trees were blown about
in the county's waste spaces. At least
rs buildings in GreenviIle were partly
or wholly demolished, including church
es, office structures and cottages.
