Cleburne News: The Montgomery Ad- vertiser came to the aid of Hon. Oscar w. Underwood and the severe rasping given to the 15 signers to the circular issued by them and sent broadcast over the state denouncing United States Sem ator Oscar Underwood has already had the effect of bringing storm of indig- nation from the great majority of voters who elected MT. Underwood on his well defined platform over Mr. Hobson. MT. Underwood being consistent with his campaign declarations, could not have retained the confidence, love and respect of the great majority given to him had he pursued the opposite course to the one he took.

Moulton Advertiser: A negro youth at Chattanooga found a set of wheels that had been thrown away, but they looked good to him and he pulled them out With some repairs he soon had wagon. He exchanged with boy for goat. He swapped the goat for calf and the calf for COW. In the last trade he landed a good horse and cart, without paying out a cent, with which he is now mak- ing living jobbing. That boy, if he does much more trading, will own half Of Tennessee and become an active rival of John D. Rockefeller.

Prattville Progress: Editor w. T. Shee- han of the Montgomery Advertiser in an able and eloquent speech in Auburn last week, among other things referred to vocational education and the duty of our government in fostering such. That is, in the judgment of the Progress. the key note of success in great and patriotic people. We may not admire Germany in some respects, but that country has furnished a brilliant illustration along that line. Our government must look more to the care and training of it's citizens to make them skilled indepen- dent and patriotic.

OUR HOME TOWN
Prescott, A City of Many Advantages and the Best Town in South
 west Arkansas

oOO, II iloA iiloi NOiidleloiio plCfetii for the next three weeks.
 The city administration have the interest of the people. at heart, and while doing whatever is necessary in keeping the town and it's streets and public grounds in a neat and orderly manner are bending every eff fort to get out of debt, which they expect to do within the next eighteen months.
 Motion picture places are quite the fad these days, and Prescott has one of the best in the state. Manager Hardy has put in the necessary accessories to make his place rank with the best. He has an aluminium screen, the machine is operated by motor power, the place is dis infected daily, and the air is changed every five minutes.
 The Prescott Ice & Milling Co. is an institution that is gradu- ally growing and expanding, and besides manufacturing ice and all kinds of ices and cold bottled drinks, they have recently added a cold storage feature, and dur ing the fall they put up hams, bacon and shoulders, which when cured equal any of the big packing house products.
 The mills of the town are sub stantial institutions and besides giving employment to hundreds of people, the owners and man. agers are a big factor in all the enterprises that go toward a bigger and better town.
 The banks are safe and sound, and deposits show that our town is not behind many older and reputed richer towns.
 The merchants carry large and we'll selected stocks of goods, and it is no longer necessary to go to the city to find what you want to wear, and in just the style and kind that you want.
 The cemetery is well kept, and reveals a proper reverence and respect for the dead. many of whom were pioneers in Prescott and laid the foundation for the substantial and attractive place that it is today.
 The streets and alleys are we'll kept, and we have perhaps more owners of automobiles than any place of it's size in this section. In the spring and summer drives are most enticing and much pleasure is secured from these rides.
 Its natatorium in the summer time affords much enjoyment to those who like a swim. and is most liberally patronized in sea- son.
 Our people are religious and refined; the churches are well attended. and the ministers are learned and able.
 Our schools are the pride of the town. They are in charge of capable teachers. and the at tendance is good. The High School students issue a semi monthly paper, "The Dynamo, y which is most creditable issue.
 Social conditions are the best anywhere. Our young people are refined and cultured and we have the best looking girls and the handsomest young men in the State.
 In fact, we could write a page mentioning the good things we have, and the wonderful oppor- tunities for home-building and life enjoyment.
 Every one of us ought to be proud of Prescott, the best town
