If the autoists of Cotton Plant, Wheatley, Monroe, Blackton, Holly Grove and Clarendon fail to avail themselves of the opportu- nifty of visiting Brinkley on next Tuesday afternoon and seeing the Arkansas on Wheels Train pull in on its start on its 4th tour thru the North and East. they will miss a real pleasant and profitable trip. The ARGUS man extends a special invitation to all friends of the ARGUS thru out Eastern Arkansas to come and go thru this great train, that is said to have done more to advertise Arkansas than any thing else ever done. The train will reach Brinkley about 2 o'clock and will be held here for one hour in order that all may see it. Motor to Brinkley and see the train, meet the people and hear a fine concert by the hanplo1 b and of the state, that is going on the trip.

Down From Illinois

Among the many Illinoians who have become interested in Arkansas farms and lands in this territory is numbered LA. M. Legg of Pontiac, H., who is member of the Murphy-Legg Land Co. who own the Luhollis Ranch northeast of Brinkley which is managed by William Owen. MT. Legg and his son, H. J. Legg have been down en- toying the wonderful inspiring rice harvest now going on. They were in Brinkley Monday. Come on down and be one of us, friends. We are short a Legg or two anyway.

The Brinkley argus., 1916-10-13

IF the business men of Brink ley and Monroe county allow themselves to be so absorbed Tn dollar grabbing so that they fail to do their duty as citizens at the approaching election, by scratching off of the ticket that dangerous deal For Act No. 2" then they need not complain if those who want the saloon and its over riding influence shove it in on them and thus repeal all of the prohibition laws on the statute books. Getting money is all good and proper but what is your money worth if you have to sacrifice a moral principle for 1t. It is time when every real man in Monroe county should stand and should show to the world that we are alive to our best interests.

Subscription Price $50 Per Year

IF you are the good citizen you ought to be you'll see to it that at least ONE man goes to the polls and scratches off of inc ticket "For Act No. 2" Run inc pencil thru this several times and your vote will stand solid against the most dangerous whiskey measure that was ever attempted in the state.

M. E Missionary Society

The M. E. Missionary Society held it's regular meeting Monday. Oct. 9. at the home of Mrs. J. N. Peterson on South New Orleans St. This being our bible study meeting we had a very good at tendance and all seemed interest ed in their blessed study.
 Mrs. Henry Folsom lead with a scripture lesson from Luke IS chapter, 19-30 and almost every member took part in the discus sion of this story of the rich ruler who asked Jesus what good thing he could do to be saved. This talk brought out some treasured thoughts and testimony of faith and Gods answer to prayer. Then we en- gagged in sentence prayers, and by this time the meeting was in- deed a spiritual demonstration of Gods very presence being be ! fore us.
 We also had comments on the lesson taken from the Missionary Voice, read by Mrs. L. K. Brown, and then a song.
 Mrs. J. D. Rodgers read to us 91 Psalm, which showers the many wonderful blessings God gives us by selling all and fol- lowing Him.
 Mrs. H. M. Gordon presented the bulletin, which gives to us an insight of the great and won- derful work done by many other fields of labor. This is a great work for our blessed Lord and we wish every Methodist and our friends would come and join us and aid in this service to God and humanity.
 l After a short business session and instruction to our delegate, Mrs. J. D. Rodgers, who is to represent our society at the District Conference that is now in session at Marvell, to do her best to get the next Conference for Brinkley, we were dismissed with prayer; and each departed with a light, happy heart feeling it was indeed good to be there.
 Monday, Oct. 16, will be Mis- sionary Day. and Cuba's Work I will be used as the subject of our program. This meeting will l be with Mrs. c. F. Simmons and \ we do hope that each member will be present and bring new one. REPORTER.
