Again, the Union Station.

On the eth inst the Arkansas Rail- road Commission considered a petition presented by attorneys for the Iron Mountain road to revoke their order of March 20th for a Union Station in Forrest City, and to allow the said Iron Mountain road to enlarge and rearrange their present station and make it suffice for their bushes, in this town. The petition was signed by seventy i've of our representative citizens, and more particularly cham. pioned by our worthy Mayor, MT. Jas L. Scott.
 At this same hearing, another peti. tion to said:Commissioners was pre- sented by Messrs. Shields. Lawrence and McDougal, having the names of about three hundred of our good citi zens praying that the request of Messrs Scott, ct al, be'denied and tha, the previous order for a Union Station be affirmed
 The Commission refused 10 revoke the order for Uoion Station but did allow the Railroads sixty days more time In which to begin work

The Forrest City times., 1914-05-29

It is worthy of consideration that tbe petition of Messrs Shields, Law renee and McDougal bore the sigma lures of number who had signed MT Scott's petition, probably half of the total of seventy i've, and their withdrawal from his petition left but few names as opposed to Forrest City having Union Station.
 By these two petitions our people have spoken by a majority of about eight to one in favor Of the Union Station
 Now, does it not seem that all oppo- sition 10 this much desired improve ment should cease? Is it not the duty of good citizens to accept the verdict of the people and drop all opposition, and to join with the large majority who favor it and all work To get the very best building possible?
 What is to be gained for the good of our town by further protest?
 What good can it do? Can any motive of progress or public good just. fly any further opposition, Conced-

Good Road to Cotton Plant.

For some time Dr. J. 0. Rush, the good road booster of St. Francis coun- ty, has been in correspondence with parties in Cotton Plant, Woodruff county, with the view of improving the road between that town and Wheatley. Wednesday morning pr. Rush, s. P Mcdaniel and Ed. Land voigt, of The Times, left Forrest City at o'clock, picking up Road Commis, sioner Jake Taylor at Palestine and Mr,H. K. Smith at Wheatley.
 About six miles north of Wheatley the Cotton Plant delegation was met, consisting of four automobiles contain ing the following representative good roads men:
 Messrs, J A. Ditfey, N. c. Jones, II (. Argo, Ed Hysmith, R. D. Camp bell, Fred Parker, | R. Phillips, J. R. Boone, Will Hin, 4. Nj Carter, c. H. Mcknight, R. T T.Gephart, E. B. Brown, and not forgetting Nat Darby, the cclored chautfer and good roads enthu- slast.
 After irtroduc,ions and congrat al a. tions, the five cars proceeded over the road, via Hunter, to Cotton Plant, ar riVing there in time for splendid dinner spread for the party, which was appreciated by keen appetite.
 The Forrest City party left Cotton Plant at 2;30, via another route, pass ing the village of Zent and part of Monroe county
 The roads around Wheatley are sad y in need of attention, and it would require but little expense to give the township good road north to the Woodruff county line, which would open up fine country to the benefit of our little neighbor. This Judge Rolfe has promised to do; and the Woodruff county people give assur- ances that they vii lbuild the road from the line to Cotton Plant thus giving a tine outlet. 10 Little Rock and the

west. That this meeting will result in good there is no doubt.
 MT. Jake Taylor and his road mak- CTS are now going west. Ills camp is at Palestine, and in another week the road from Forrest City to Wheatley will be "one of the finest. Besides working the main road, MT. Taylor is working the lateral roads, and the Wheatley folks can depend upon it., that they will have roads they can boast of.
 The Forrest City party were agree ably surprised at the thrifty appear. ance of our little neighbor, Cotton Plant. It's compress, handle factory, large saw mill, courthouse, churches, schoolhouse, beautiful residences, and up-to date business houses, denotes push and energy And the geniality and hospitality Of it's people makes a visitor feel at home. The Forrest City party is indebted to the good people Of Cotton Plant for many courtesies, and hope to reciprocate in the near future. The party is also indebted to MT. Will Owen, manager of the Decker Rice Plantation, for courtesies shown in the working of machinery, etc.

Ing sincere, honest motives toallvho have heretofore advocated two ss tions instead of one, can further O. position to the Union Station be &. credited to honest, unsefsh zeal for the public good? As we all profess to be good democrats who believe the majority should rule, will it not k perfectly natural to suspect the pat riotism of those who continue to op pose?
 Further opposition will only add to that dissention and bitterness which IS already bearing so heavily upon lh. l fe of our town, and to the remo7sld which every good citizen should direct his best effort.
 Now friends, let's consider ths Union Station matter as settledS far as concerns the order of the Rail- road Com mission, and lets turn Oui thoughts and labors to the accom- complaining of other good things lo our town

The 42nd annual meeting of the Arkansas Press Association came tC an end Sunday morning upon the re- turn Of it's mem bers and their wives daughters and sweethearts, from 8 trip to Northeast Arkansas-the St Francis Nalley-where the editor, had an opportunity of seeing the grandest and richest country in Ark &nsas-we might say in the world but Arkansas is the world--a passing glance 'tis true, but enough to con vince them that the St. Francis Val ley is the Eden Of America
 Beside the social features, whicl were of very high order and tho roughly enjoyable, good work was ac- complshed at the meetiug, especial ly that of endorsing and taking steps toward the furtherance of the Pub. !icity Bill, which aught to recieve the attention Of every voter in the State at the September election.
 Many new and young faces were seen at the meeting, yet there was a goodly sprinkle of older members, of 9 years standing.
 The social feature of the meeting was just like everything of that na- ture that Little Rock undertakes only more so. It was like a moving picture of the dreams of an editor all the comforts of life; success, and visions of wealth of the neophyte ed

Almost invariably men who have ac-
cumulated a competence will attribute
their start on the road to influence to
the practice of saving a portion of
their incomes, no matter how restrict
ed. That this may be accomplished,
scarcely need to be argued, for neces-
sity requires people to adjust them
selves to small earnings, just as incli-
nation causes them to spend large
ones, and in each ase it is possible
to enforce a limitation below the max
imum. A great many people consist
emily save who never becomel wealthy,
however, their handicap lying in the
fact that they do not wisely employ
the resources thus accumulated. Saw
ings must be made to work, to pro-
duce earnings that will augment them
| selves, and their earning capacity, as
well as the earning capacity of their
~possessor will determine whether they
are to constitute a modest nest egg
against old age or the nucleus Of a for
tune.

1t is not difficult to distinguish the

individual who leads the van in oppo-
sition to the prosecution of public i'm

zen of influence and substance, with
an enviable bank roll that has been
accumulated through the advance in

brought about by the energy and eff

SEQ HOUGH South Africa Is stead
lily becoming covered with q
network of railroads, there are
still great stretches of country
that are not yet linked up. In
these parts the OK wagon Is the only
means Of transportation.
West of Mafeking, right to the sea
board, there is one unbroken stretch
Of veldt; and to reach the Atlantic
coast there is only one way to travel,
namely, trek it by OK wagon.
Fate ono SEN me on a trading trek
up to Lake Ngami, says a writer in
London Answers.
Well, Lake Ngami is about a thou
sand miles from nowhere. To be a
little more accurate, however, the lake
lies in the northwestern part of the
Bechuanaland protectorate, and to
reach the little trading center up
there, one has to cross the northern
part Of the dreaded Kalahari-a water
less desert.
My wagon had 10 oxen to pull it,
and the load on it was 5000 pounds.
But 1t took me over two months to
cover the five or so hundred miles
that lay between the small native
capital of Serowe and Tsau, the cap
ital of Ngamiland.
Half of the distance was i've sandy,
waterless deserts, and the rest through
fever and lion infested veldt.
After a Twelve-Day Trek,
We'll outspan here, Natal" l cried
to my native driver.
1t was just al hour before dawn,
and the African sky was lit with a
myriad of stars. The oxen were
quickly unyoked, but were not al.
lowed to Craze, as we would be on the
move again in an hour.
We were half way in the desert. We
had been on trek IL days. The oxen
we're used to thirst" but the cease
less strain of the sandy desert was
making itself felt. The beasts were
already looking worn and shrunken.
| sat down by the small fire we had
kindled and smoked. Everything was
very quiet. The sleeping veldt was
hushed. Around us we're miles OF
fiat, sparsely v~egetated country, every
mile the same. Not a drop of water
had we seen for two days since we
had left the last we'll; and there lay
80 miles of waterless veldt before the
next we'll would be reached.
The saffron hue of breaking day is
now tinting the eastern sky. 1t is
time to inspan again.
Soon the oxen are all in their yokes,
and the signal to start is given.
The sun has now risen. 1t is grow.
Ing hotter. The rel are becoming
distressed. The merciless whip de.
scends-and again. It is no time fol-
pity. Water must be reached! On
and on the wretched animals pull
their load. The sun is now high In
the heavens. We outspan.
The weary oxen lie under the scan
ty shade of stunted bushes. We lie
