MT. F. H. Ford, who after several years as Cashier of the Bank of Brinkley leaves Brink ley next week for the West, has been the recipient of several honors the past week which bear testimony of the high esteem in which he is held by the people of Brinkley.
 A farewell dinner party was given him at Hotel Rusher by the Agoga Class and on Mon- day night a farewell reception was rendered him at the Baptist church.
 MT. Ford's decision to go West was the unanimous regret of the Board of Directors of the bank he has served so faithfully and efficiently. He is a fine busi- ness man and has been an ex- emplary citizen of Brinkley and hence his departure is universal ly regretted. He leaves on Mon day next.

The business men adjourned and wended their way to their homes thro' the darkness.

BIG CROWD AT MASS MEETING
Business Houses All Close Up and Study Roads and Farming Last
 Friday

Hall of the Hotel Rusher big mass meeting was held. Men were present from all parts of the north end of the county. In fact it was the largest and best meeting of the kind the writer has known in 25 years in Brinkley. The report of the meeting is shown in the follow ing we'll prepared report of the lsecretary very kindly furnished l the ARGUS.
 Meeting called to order at 12:3O D. m. the following officers elected were; Elmo Chaney Chairman, w. F. Grisham, Secy. The purpose of this meeting was for the discussion of an act pending in the Legislature creating a bonded road district embracing the north part of Monroe County and for the improvement of the six roads leading out from Brinkley as follows, military road north about five miles. Brinkley and Wheat ley road east to county line, Brinkley and Cotton Plant road to Bayou De View bridge. military road to one mile south of Allendale School House, Cypress Ridge road south from Brinkley and road from Lonoke School House to Cache River. Interesting talks were made by the following gentlemen favoring the issueing of bonds for road improvement, Messrs Elmo Chaney. c. F. Greenlee and Rev. w. T. Thurman.
 There was some opposition, MT. Chaney gave some good information on the proposed bill which might be well to mention here for the benefit of some that were not present.
 The bonds to be issued to the amount of $25O. .0Oo. % which will be handled by five commission CTS appointed to look after it, who will receive a compensation of $50 per year, not to exceed two years.
 The rock to build these roads will be purchased from the state at actual cost of crushing. The taxes to pay interest and retire these bonds with at maturity is estimated to cost from 10 to 12 cents per acre, it is also estimat- ed that 50 per cent of the lands in this district is owned by foreign corporations.
 I regret my inability to report full details of this meeting but not being provided with station ary l could not take as many items as l would like to have done but I am sure if any any one wants information on their Road Improvement Bill ar the exact boundary of the district they can get same by asking Mir. Elmo Chaney or Wm. B. Folsom.

THE STATE LEGIS-
 LATURES WORKING
A Newsy Letter From the State Capital and Leg
 islature Halls

LlCJle ROCK, rep. lU- In every section of Arkansas those who have so long prayed and worked for prohibition, are rejoicing over the action of the General Assembly in passing the state wide bill last week. They are rejoicing that it is to remain that way just because the bill becomes a law. but unless they put a covering over their oint- ment there is extremely liable to be fly in it. While the pro- hibitionista are idle the local optionists will be constantly working, and on the very day t h Newberry bill becomes effective, Jan. 1, 1916, if not be- fore, a petition will be put in circulation to initiate an act to repeal the bill and possibly one also to repeal the Going Act.
 Arkansas will be dry for a year, even if the liquor men are successful in repeating either, or both of these measures. for the matter cannot be placed before the people until September 1916. Success at that time largely depends upon the election com missioners appointed this year, which will make these appoint ments something to fight for.
 The ten mile act for Little Rock will hardly get by the Senate, for the submissionists had a majority there until it collapsed like a balloon in mid air and came down in limp heap. This majority contained several prohibitionists W h 0 favored submission, but would vote for the Newberry bill if they could not get their desires. Several more switched to the prohibitionists on the com promise to extend the liquor licenses until Jan. 1, and it was their understanding that there would be no effort to molest the saloons until that time. They woke up to the real wording of the bill about the time it was passed, and several were in- censed when they found that the Pine Bluff saloons were left out because license had not been issued prior to the signing of the bill. With this feeling, in the face of the compromise, it is hardly probable that bill mak- ing Little Rock dry so soon after the licenses have been issued will get through the Senate. Any kind of a prohibition bill. no matter how radical, will go through the House.
 With the legislative session one-half gone. little constructive or general legislation has been passed. The House has had 300 bills and the Senate 173. The two bodies have disposed of practically one-half of the bills introduced. and the Senate had on Saturday night passed 40 of the IT House bills before it. while the House passed we ot the Senate bills reported to that branch. The Senate will this week dispose of practically al
 House bills reported there. anc

a Friday afternoon and Saturday session. as there was last week. unless it is to consider Senate business. The liquor bill out of the way the Assembly rushes bills through like grist from a mill.
 The Arkansas legislature works on an average of three hours per day in legislative session. Thus the cost of oper- ating the House. not counting clerical assistance, is $l.M per hour. The House debated for an hour Saturday in discharging a janitor for intoxication, and after removing his name from the payroll. did like the historic army of Spain. they marched up the hill, and then marched down again, for the discharged janitor was immediately re-engaged. and by those who discharged him. If it costs $120 for a legis- lature to discharge a drunken janitor. there are many who would like to know what il would cost the state to rid itself of a member who should become intoxicated.

FINANCIAL RECORD
HERE AND ABROAD
War Stocks Weaken
Close ReactiOnary-Sur-
plus Reserve Lower.

Around the middle OF Yesterday 5
short session the war stocks began TO
look deci ledly weak. The opening had
shown gains and for time the IN
ward movement was continued. In the
second hour, however. prices were
reached from / and up to and more
points below the earlier best. WITH
the approach of the weekend closing
out Of traders, speculative commit
ments found little purchasing demand.
Business was on a small scale tor a
Saturday. though the list was broad
one. Price changes on the day were
irregular. but most active issues went
lower. railroads sharing in the reaction
with fractional losses.
Crucible Steel reached a new high
mark at 92Sa in the first hour and then
fell back After little recovery it
broke sharply at the close 10 S5i2, a
loss of more than 3 points on the day.
Bethlehem Steel. after being traded IN
above 200. dropped to 300, where II
closed over ! points down.
The bond business was small and
mainly in industrial issues. An eager
speculative movement in stocks draws
attention from bonds. and August IS
usually a quiet month in investment
circles. Since the partial recovery
from the break in bond prices that fol-
lowed London selling in preparation
for the Great British loan railroad
issues of the best grade have been
steady or a shade lower. While there
has been more or less discriminating
buying. many intending purchasers are
waiting TO see if greater bargains may
vet appear. Tuesdays payment in Lon
don on account of the war loan sent
few of our obligations back to this
market, and in investment circles II is
hoped thai the suggested British credit
On collateral of our bonds will remove
for a while this source of possible
selling.
Reserves of Clearing House institu-
tions were reported lower in the state
ment of conditions yesterday morning
where a gain had been predicted.
Loans expanded over Sll 100000 as the
result of foreign financing during the
week. and surplus was reduced over
S14000,000. At about Sl66.000,000. the
excess reserve has lost most of the
gain of the last three weeks.
As on the Saturday before. sterling
exchange went below 4.76 in the pound
after having been maintained at or
above that rate through the week. The
sterling market Is, of course, an arti-
fetal one. Some years ago tinanciers
in this city controlled rates and were
able to depress sterling until gold came
from Europe to replenish the depleted
holdings of our government. Now the
same banking house that was SO prom
neut in that movement is holding Up
the prices of sterling so as to make
unnecessary excessive shipments Of
gold to this country from Europe.
