ask for $1000.00 appropriation for this county's part in the support of a Farm Demonstra- tion Agent for the next year.
 MT. Brown appeared before the court and succeeded in
 showing" them the particular need of such an appropriation at this time or crisis. The appro- priation was made. The U. S. Government pays $500 and the county 5000 in the payment of a Demonstrator.
 One of the most important things to come up at the meet ing was the action of those hav- ing in charge the Cross State Highway work the road from Brinkley to the Prairie County Line. This is the road to which Brinkley people subscribed a few months ago about $2OO0 in cash, this amount to be loaned to this road pending the organization of a special district.
 The gentlemen in charge of this work have made splendid progress on it and they hope to see ita perfect success ere many months. It is the same road that the Prairie county citizens have located and which they have organized and incorporated extending from 8 miles West of Mesa thro' DeValls Bluff, east thro' Biscoe and Brassfield to the Monroe County line. 12 miles in length. The estimate for the cost of the road is $55, c00.O0 and on Wednesday of this week the district sold $6O,OOO worth of bonds to do the work, to w. R. Compton & Co.,, of St. Louis. T h e Prairie County people have been acting in conjunction with the Brinkley committee on this road and it only remains for the Brin kley people to push their part on thro' the organization stage and we are betting ? to that they will do 1t.
 Other matters came up in the League which are of vital inn portance to the Brinkley people. If you were not on hand at the meeting then you are shirking your duty. Don't do this. Daily Thought

Going Some" in an Auto on Monroe County
 Roads

l The ARGUS family wheeled
 out of Brinkley on Friday last
 for the School Fair at Clarendon
 at just 10:45 o'clock. Just one hour and five minutes later we
 walked into the Court House at
 Clarendon. After one hour and
 thirty minutes there we decided
 to run down to Holly Grove and find out how our clever Holly Grove friends were taking the
 war panic.
 After an hour in Holly Grove we headed back to Clarendon. stopping for about 10 minutes at Duncan. The road between Clarendon and Holly Grove is the best strip of road in Monroe county and there's temptation for the Auto driver to let out" his machine if it wasn't for the many broken bridges or culverts. Down at Holly Grove. where, at this season of the year, usual | ly, there is one of the busiest trading points in Monroe county, there was the same depression. The question from all is what are we going to do." Rudolph Abramson who for many years has been sort of a "bell sheep" in Monroe County cotton buying, was just as busy as he could be economizing, while young Rue Abramson was counting the cash he didn't have John Renfro, with the assistance of Sid Connolly, was cleaning up his old rusty fire arms preparing for chicken thiefs, German aerial warriors, etc. Dr. Sylar was busy cleaning the carbon from his pretty new Overland Roadster, Our old friend, w. IF. Branch, looked the same as ever but there was disturbed glance in his eye as he referred to the financial furry, cotton situation. etc.
 The Pete Bros. were waiting for customers.
 | c. G. Keer was giving thanks that conditions were no worse than they are and expressing gratitude for the blessings of health. etc.
 J. I. Matthews, the Bank of Holly Grove Cashier was cutting ice just as usual but said that they were not expecting much of mellon cutting in divi- dens this year.
 At Mayo & Mayo's our clever friend Pat was out in the coun- | try using a fine tooth comb to ct in the cotton. several hundred bales of which they are storing and holding. The other member of the firm, J. w. Mayo was smiling as he showed his faith in the coming of a better day while he was cheered in his company by his excellent wife who was his company for the day in the store.
 The Lair Brothers were a s usual in their stores but in both Jim's Grocery and H. C.'s Dry Goods Store. the usual trading wasn't there.
 At Patterson & Lamberts those handsome and clever young Lambert boys were busy dusting and keeping stock just to keep in practice but "R. J." was down around their gin keeping track 0f the business.
 The Holly Grove people didn't turn out to the school fair as other towns of the county altho' there was quite crowd of their prominent people there. During the hour spent in Holly Grove the ARGUS man booked nice line of orders and enjoyed the pleasant greetings from many esteemed friends not
