his life than that which saw the first passen-

thronged with farmers, who had called out

joyful hearts and dreamed of that day when
their eyes would behold the beauties and
charms of that city where, so their fancies
told them, all the good things OF life were
found.

speeding back to those days when his heart

pinions OF an eagle. 1t was in those days
that "Smithville" had been born. The

"Pa" Sims pushed his chair back from the
table, and wiped his mouth on his red and
white checked napkin. He was at ease with
the world, and the lingering taste of the liver
and onions which he had just finished left
a delicious aftermath At his elbow lay the
evening mail which no member of the family
dared to touch until he had first scanned it.
There were several letters and the Smith

But Peter Sims was not thinking OF such
mercenary things as dollars on this une
night His mind was on the pleasant things
of life and also dwet fondy upon the nice
little article in the "Smithville Courier" and
he smiled with almost childike glee when
he pictured his neighbors reading about him
the next morning. For this article about his
crop to his friendship, for the editor, was
but step, and his memory travelled back
to that old, old copy Of the same paper which
had been so carefully laid away, with other
precious documents; that paper which told
SO feelingly and sorrowfully of the death of
his first little son, who for four years had
been the apple of his eye. The kind words
and the written sympathy yet warmed his
heart and his eyes dimmed with sudden tears
as he thought of the little head which had SO
often snuggled against his breast, and which
had been cut down so suddenly. The soft
night wind came signing through the maple
trees and the rustling of the leaves sounded
as soft as the whisperinos Of babv's voice.

country in the making, but the marvel OF its
transformation had not impressed him half
so much as the waving Of his corn year by
year, nor the excitement of getting his oats
harvested.
Next to his home Peter loved Chicago In
the early years when the country had been
but sparsely settled Peters father and moth
err had sent to Chicago for their supplies
which could not be purchased in their vicin-
ity, and had hauled them by wagon for TWEEN
ty miles from the nearest railroad station,
and to Peters mind when boy, Chicago
was Mecca of magic and charm. Every
thing of beauty and grace in his life had
come from that far-off city by the lake, bear
ing a Whit of perfume from world never
seen by Peters eyes.

he was seeing again in long procession,
those tried and true friends, whose faces in
the glow of Renaissance took on an added
kindness The BARRIERS in front OF their
gaily lighted shop, eagerly talking the last
baseball news and the latest village scandal;
the grocery store with its tempting array of
fruits and candies in the glow OF its win
dows; the Dry Goods Emporium with its
crude feminine figures swathed in the plaids,
stripes and checks; the bake shop with its
swinging shelves of jelly rolls and angel-food
cake; the compact, staunch little bank with
its blinds discreetly drawn as if it felt its
isolation from the commoner lines OF bust
ness, and wanted to guard the secrets of its
overdrafts There was no doubt in the mind
of Peter Sims that night, but that he loved

he gazed at it rapturously and
wondered if Chicago could give
him any more real JOY. For
Peter Sims was one of the
many, many men who love their
home town, but send their
money to Chicago. Sometimes
his wife and daughter bought
a bingham dress Of the Smith

of their clothes came from Har-
ris & Hahn of Chicago. The
Sims butter and eggs went into
the Smithville grocery, and
were paid for in trade, but their
hundred pound sacks Of sugar,
and their coffee in the bulk
came from Harris & Hahn Of
Chicago. The S m t h willie
blacksmith shod the Sims
horses, but their harness came
from Harris & Hahn of Chica-

got one dollar a year of the
Sims money on subscription,
but his letterheads and envel-

from Harris & Hahn of Chica-

An Arkansas Public School
 Uses Autos.

Over at England in Lonoke county four automobile busses have provided to be used by the high school in conveying pupils from country districts which have been combined with the England district, to and from school. The taxes from the country districts goes to the England High School, and the children from those districts will have the advantages of a town school. This arrangement is an innovation in Arkansas.
 This is not only an innovation but a wonderful advantage to the people of the country. who have their children carried to school for miles around, each day.
 The farmers in that county are the ones who started the permanent road agitation and forced the issue to a vote for the sale of the road bonds and won out in the fight for real roads.
 In Monroe county more than one- half of the entire cost of the roads would fall on the big non- resident property owners and only about 15 per cent would be paid by the farmers who live on the farms and yet they are the only ones who are setting still and sacrificing most.
 If Monroe county farmers ever wake up once they will see their folly just as those in Lonoke county did and THEN our farmers will FORGE the vote for road bonds and we will have real roads.

THIRD DISTRICT a..
A. AND M. SCHOOL
RuiIding Two Handsome Structures
to Replace One Destroyed by Fire.
Fall Term Begins Aug. IL.


Fall Term Begins Aug. 13.
The Third District Agricultural
College at Americas will begin its
1915-1916 term August 18th.
In place of the main building de-
stroyed by fire early in the spring
two handsome structures will be
erected, representing a much larger
sum than the destroyed building
cost. which requires a larger outlay
of funds than were appropriated by
the present legislature, and the school
will need the financial assistance OF
it's friends in this section of Georgia.
The school is a credit to the Third
congressional district, and the public
should respond literally in donations
to pay the cost of the new buildings.
All contributions should be mailed to
Prof. J. NJ. Collum, the principal.
The school offers fine opportunities
for the education and training of the
young men and women of this sec
ton. and no better school can be
selected.

Says Orders Already Issued Should
Take Effect.
The protest made by Representa-
tive Charles R. Grips, of Americas,
relative to the Reorganization and
curtailment in the rural mail service
in which Mr.. Crisp feels sure will
result after August 1st, when mail
routes generally will be consolidated
and many of the veteran carriers dis
missed from the service, has elected
a response from Postmaster General
Burleson, to whom special protest
was made by Mr.. Crisp.
In reply to the latter's telegram to
the postmaster general the following
reply was received by Representative
Crisp, and is self-explanatory, though
not satisfactory:
Washington, D. c., July 10.
Hon. c. r. Crisp, Americas, Ca
Routes to be served by motor vehicles
in your district are to be established
only after receipt of reports from
postmasters that the use of such
equipment is feasible, and that no inn
pairment or curtailment of service is
involved, but on the contrary improy-
ed facilities are provided in some in
stances. I appreciate fully the con-
ditions you mention, but | would be
seriously delinquent in the perform
ance of my duty if failed to take ad-
vantage~of the opportunity to provide
as good, or better, rural service at
minimum expense to the government.
therefore believe that the orders al
ready issued should take effect
Can you suggest any territory in
your district where no service exists?
The department wishes to extend the
service thereto promptly"
Replying to the above telegram Mr..
Crisp sent an additional protest to
Postmaster General Burleson relative
to conditions in this district.
