are getting real results. The ARGUS publisher has statements from some of the largest and most successful national adver- tisers in America-those who are spending millions of dollars in newspaper advertising and who have been advertising every week in the ARGUS for more than ten years-and they say in these statements that the ARGUS is one of the best country newspaper advertising mediums in the entire state.
 The ARGUS publisher knows full we'll that these and other advertisers are not spending their money with him thro' sentiment. It's simply business with them and if some of the business men of Brinkley who are trying to get along with out newspaper advertising would only only wake up" to this the mistake of penny wise pound foolish" policy. they would take rank with progressive business men in other Arkansas towns and would be able to effectually meet the changing business con- ditions that are now marking this business period of our country.
 It's printers ink that is mak- ing the world think, and the ARGUS publisher is naturally enough always doing his dead level best to- make the money spending public THINK of the advantage of spending their money with those who are using the ARGUS ink to make lem think.

U. s. GOVERNMENT
 SELECTS BRINKlEY SITE
For The Government Post Omce Building. North west Corner of Main and Cedar Street,
 The Place

Postmaster Jas. H. Stack re- ceived official notification on Thursday that the Department had decided on the site for the Brinkley Post Office building and that the site selected was the pretty northwest corner of Main and Cedar Street-facing the northwest corner of the square or plaza, just across the street, north of the Kelly Hotel.
 The Government has had several inspectors visit Brinkley during the past Several years to investigate and make report on the various sites offered to the Government, and it was begin. ming to look like Brinkley was not going to see Uncle Sam in. vest here, therefore it is g matter of great satisfaction that the site has at last been settled on.
 The, site selected is without g doubt the most attractive and beautiful possible for selection. Overlooking the main square ol plaza, on one of the most prom. nent corners in the city, visible to all of the depots and to prac. tically all the business places, very convenient to both business and residence sections. on the side of the town where the greatest number of people live, it can easily be understood why the various Government officials appointed to decide on the loca- tion, selected it as they did. i The appropriation of $5,0OC for the Brinkley P. o. site was secured tho the efforts of Con. gressman w. A. Oldfield and ii is understood that MT. Oldfleld has stated that he proposes to get an appropriation for the building at an early date.

Just Abou; Town

T heard a Brinkley lumber man kicking. explaining and cussing you out because the ARGUS was boosting an out of town lumber yard. last week. said a loyal Brinkley man to the ARGUS man Wednesday. That's queer, isn' tit? The ARGUS man is regularly, week after woek, year in and year out, do- ing his dead level best to boost Brinkley and simply because we recommended to our readers that they patronize one of our regu- lar advertisers, we catch it' for so doing.
 The ARGUS man has been on the job for a quarter of a century in dear old Brinkley land has many times had to go out of town to get enough patronage to pay the ex- penses of the luxury of running a free speaking and independent paper in Brinkley. He knows good and well as does every other Brinkleyite and citizen of this section, that the meager re- suits of this quarter of a century of labor has for the most part been spent in efforts of building a bigger. brighter. better Brinkley," and so it will be so long as he publishes the ARGUS. But the ARGUS publisher likes to see his advertisers get results that's the reason we are boost ing for them and will continue to boost their business, to help them personally and in every way
 It is not out of place to say right here that the ARGUS has about as large and as satisfactory advertising patronage as is to be found in any country news paper in all Arkansas. This, in itself says in unmistakable language that ARGUS advertisers

T. H. Mitchell Seriously
 Wounded

Reports reaches the city this morning of the stabbing al Goodwin of T. H. Mitchell, the well known rice ranch owner living near there, yesterday afternon, by the Rock Island Goodwin Agent, Farmer.
 An eye witness to the difficulty states that Agent Farmer called Mir. Mitchell a liar and that Mitchell started to resent the insult when Farmer struck him with an ice pick inficting an ugly and dangerous wound. just an inch or two below the heart. Mitchell, after he was stabbed, knocked his assailant down.
 The wounded man was taken to Wheatley where his wound was dressed.
 MT. Mitchell is we'll and fav- orably known in Brinkley as a gentleman of splendid character and his many Brinkley friends are hoping for his speedy recov- cry.

 A fly in time kills nine. Why wait until July
 To kill a fly? Do your best, to swat that fly, For typhoid is lowering nigh! Pass your cake
 And pass your pie, But please protect them From that fly! If the weathers wet;
 Or the weathers dry It's just the same to that
 terrible fly. He sleeps at night
 And works by day, Gathering germs along the way From barn to kitchen He will surely come
 And on to the pantry with a
 hum! He'll bounce upon the milk and
 bread
 Until we wish all flies were
 dead. So bring in your spearmint and
 swatter too. And then we'll bid all flies adieu.
