Plain Dealing.

Wednesday, July 8.-A fairly good
rain, which will do wonderful amount
of good to all vegetation, fell here last
night. It extended to Red Land, Car
terville, Mot, Rocky Mount, Burgess,
Bolinger and Collinsburg. While the
older corn was for the most part too far
gone for the rain to revive it, it will
greatly benefit all young or late planted
corn. Except in specially dry sections,
cotton, though small and rather late. is
comparatively free from boil weevils, and
still has time to make fine yield. Some
well posted farmers estimate the cotton
crop as so per cent and corn as not over
40 per cent ct an average in condition.
A great many visitors were here SAT-

average time for completing two courses
is five months, therefore board and

When one or more of these courses is

The Cotton Belt Motor Cars.

From Sundays Shreveport Times.1
Arrangements are being made by the
Cotton Belt Railway to put on its con-
templated motor car service between
Shreveport and New Lewisville by the
LIST of August, according to statement
made to a Times representative yester-
day.
ssThe two motor cars have been deliv-
cred to the company and tank stations
are now being erected and time table
being prepared. 1t is understood that
several try-out trips will be made during
this month in order that the men who
are to operate the cars may become ac-
qualnted with the road as well as the
cars, and to further ascertain the best
schedule it will be possible to maintain.
Inauguration of motor car service on
this branch of the Cotton Belt will fill a
long-felt want, and the news of it's
early contamination will be received
with interest by those along the route
between here and the main line at New
Lewisyille, Ark
Though the Times makes use of the
heading shown above, our impression all
along has been that there was to be only
one car operated on this branch-out OF
Shreveport early during the morning
and back again that evening. If two,
however, so much the better, perhaps,
but will passenger traffic justify this and
also the operation of the regular train?
Some change in service has long been
needed, and demanded, and when the
motor car is placed in operation it is
hoped all residents along the branch line
will bear this in mind and patronize il
freely, thus securing it as a permanent
thing. Make it pay so it won't be taken
off later
