Franklin County School Bonds

For several months this city has rapidly grown in the line of a market for improvement and similar classes of bonds for the Ft. Smith field. In keeping with that new line of enterprise and with it's doctrine that it is a great commercial advantage to any field to absorb it's own bonds keeping the interest money in this field, the City National bank, on Wednesday added another to its string of invest ments.
 This time the City National bought Franklin county bonds. The issue of bonds was that of special district No 9, Franklin county. These bonds bear six per cent and the City National will add them to its list of bonds for the local market.

Bibles For The Soldiers

Two hundred thousand children in American Sunday schools up to April 1st had contributed . nickel each to buy New Testa- ments to send to men in the trenches and on battleships in European wars. This plan is in charge of the Worlds Sunday School Association, and contem- plates similar action by one million children, one million nickels, one million New Testa- ments, and one million enlisted men.
 Within a week after the two hundred thousand contributions had been received $l0,OOO had been forwarded by the Aneri- can Bible Society to various nations engaged in the wars. In these countries are Bible so- cieties or agencies. The money sent to these societies is invest ed in New Testamsnts printed in the languages that enlisted men speak. The first $1O, 900 of American money went to almost every nation now at war.

l have counsel now to give Drag the roads. Be live one while you live Drag the roads. Hustle out at peep of dawn, Put your working trousers on, Eat a bite and then be gone Drag the roads. Let this be your slogan then Drag the roads; Shout it in the ears of men Drag the roads" Ding it on the dinner gong, Set the words to tuneful song; Sing it as you trudge along Drag the roads. Men of every tribe and tongue Drag the roads. Let the old men and the young Drag the roads. Up and down the state they go, Omaha to Broken Bow; Duty cries-is that not sO?-

 Bluff, Ft. Smith, and Muskogee, Okla. have decided to hold a convention of all the citizens of Arkansas and Oklahoma who are interested in river navigation the object of this meeting being to organize the Arkansas Inn provement Association"
 The undersigned committe earnestly request you to come to Little Rock and bring your friends to the convention on Fri day and Saturday, July 2nd and 3rd. The meeting will be called to order at 10:0O a. m.. at the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce on the corner of Fourth and Main Sts.
 The government has placed two modern dredge boats on the river and two snag boats which will begin work on dredging and snagging the river imme- diately. An appropriation of $2O3. 900 has just been made by the government to keep these boats busy l6 hours a day until July 1916.
 A contract has been entered into by the Chamber of Con- merce of Little Rock for the building of a steel bottom boat especially equipped for the Ark ansas river. We are operating now several boats at Pine Bluff and Little Rock.
 The Panama canal being re- gently finished is going to make a revolution in water transporta- tion and the using of the Mis- sissippi river to the Great Lakes as well as the tributaries to the Mississippi.
