Notice.
Dermott, Ark, June 9, 1915.

Dermott, Ark, June 9, 1915. To the Stockholders of the Chicot Hotel
 Company:
 We beg to advise that it will be necessary for the Chicot Hotel Comp any to raise about $5, 0a0 additional capital in order to pay off indebtedness of the company. Additional capital is absolutely necessary to pay off debts and for the continuance of the com pany anu the directors and officers feel that unless the stock holders will pro vide the additional capital, it will be necessary to hquidate the assets to meet the indebtedness A meeting of the stock holders of the Chicot Hotel Company has been duly called to meet on the 29th day of June, 1915, for the purpose of considering this matter. It is hoped that each and every stock holder will provide his proportion of the amount needed in order to allow the company to continue. If this not done, II will be necessary to sell the asset. of the company and the proba- bilities are that the entire assets when sold will not realize more than enough to cover the company's indebtedness, in which event the present holdings of stock will be worthless.
 Should It become apparent at the meeting that the present stock holders will not provide the necessary addition al caI ital and funds for the eontinu- ance of the company. it Is hoped that they will associate themselves together for the purpose of buying in the assets ot the company. each stock holder pro vding funds for this purpose in propor- tion to his present holdings ot stock in the Chicot Hotel Company.
