Hunter News

(Rec'd after paper was out last week.
 Otis Mcconnell and Morris Harrell spent Saturday in Brink ley.
 Rev. c. E. Hayes of Little Rock, who is at the head of the home mission board of the Pres byterian Church for Arkansas, accompanied by his assistant, Rev. Thos. E. McSpadden of Brinkley, spent the latter part of last week in Hunter, and while here organized a Presbyterian Church. Only a temporary organization was formed. The Rev. Hayes will return the first Sunday in April and complete the permanent organization at that time. This is a step that will prove of much benefit to Hunter and the Presbyterians are welcomed to Hunter. One of the best things that can be said of any community is that the people are law-abiding and church-going people and every added religious institution is one of the best advertisements that can go abroad from a town.
 Miss Bessie Pipkin of Brink ley spent Sunday with Mrs. Homer Strickler.
 Homer Strickler visited the Dentist at Brinkley on last Satur- day.
 Miss Mary Flora of Brinkley. who has been teaching the Prairie View School East of town for the past few months closed her school last Friday.

YES sir, the ARGUS is dead against the voting of any more road tax to be wasted on the make believe" roads of Mon- roe county. The ARGUS is in favor of a road tax but this to be a tax for PERMA- NEWT roadway. The ARGUS editor has always voted for a road tax but all the time has felt that 1t was but a waste of money. We do not believe that there is fair minded person in the county who Will say that the roads of Monroe county prior, to the voting ot the road tax were any worse than they have been this past winter. Then why waste the money any longer. The farm CTS of Monroe county are going to wake up some day when they do there will be such a demand
 for permanent road ways that w, will have them right now.
 The fs.4.ners and their families
 sho are Ii ing on the farms ot Monroe county are the ones who are being mistreated. If there is sickness in their family they can scarcely get a doctor to go to them or if they do it requires hours of time creeping over the miserable roads. These same country people are denied the priviledge of church and serious ly hindered in school and social advantages to say nothing of
 their loss in a business way by having impossible roads. A few years ago the ARGUS editor was instrumental in the calling of a meeting of the property owners in this city to start a move for permanent roads.
 When the matter of organizing special district for selling bonds to build these roads came up the greatest opposition came from the big land owners who rent out their lands and to our great surprise there were several of the small farmers who joined in the hew and cry mo bonding, no bonding" These farmers couldn't see that more than half of the tax required on these bonds would come from non- residents of the county and less than 10 per cent of the balance would come from the farmers who live on their farms. The big land owners were the ones it would hit hard. These big land owners don't need perma- nent roads and as one of them

study. where less than torty-cight hours be

they meant to live together. He sat at his
desk with bowed shoulders, and ms Dram

ADMITS RIGHTS OF CITIES
English Parliamentary COMMITTEES Re
fuses to Allow Disagreement
by Railways.

It is a matter for more than con-
graduation, says the Town Planning
Review, published in Liverpool, Eng
land, that the Northern Junction rail-
way came to grief before the parlia-
mentary committee. The project failed
because of the strenuous opposition
that was aroused. The particular In
terest which attaches itself to the
defeat of the railway was not merely
the triumph of the Hampstead Garden
suburb and the Fnchley town plan
ming scheme.
1t is the first time that the new
age of transit has demonstrated that
there are considerations of pressing
Importance other than railways. The
vast Importance of the road to the
modern city confronted the railway
promoters with unexpected difficulties.
The consideration due to town plan
ming schemes, embodying traffic ar
teries suitable for the requirements
of the immediate future, also infiu-
enced the decision of the parliament
airy committee.
The railway promoters had to real
ize that the presidents Of the nine
teenth century, insisting on every 9TH
er public utility or amenity being made
subservient to the interest of railways.
proved to be no longer tenable. The
defeat of the bill has, in fact, borne it
home to all the companies that a SINH
lar failure is likely to overtake all
those other enterprises which, with
out regard to modern conditions, seek
to perpetuate and repeat on the con-
fines of the modern city the disastrous
blunders, the inconvenience and bla-
tant ugliness which characterized the
efforts of railway engineers in the
past centu. y.
