Meeting And Beating The
 Mail Order Houses In brink|ey

Said prominent Brinkley business to the ARGUS editor this week:
 What earth we going to do stop the people
 from sending away to Rears Sobuck and other mail
 order concerns?'
 The ARGUS believes that business of Brink ley will wake up get the job days week. weeks in month and 2 months enough meet and beat the mail order There and sections Arkan where the mail order don't much business and these banded together and work teams
 the business of Brinkey would together form com organization assist in marketing products of the farm for just l2 months taking the poultry butter potatoes fruit etc. of the farmer and reasonable prices IN therefor would thereby make the greatest nroad the mail order business and would prosperity that would result turning loose Bnkey Ooo $5 900 in clean cold cash would itself do beat the mail order than any other thing possible
 During the past have had occasion to visit prac cay and city Arkansas and other towns of similar 15 20 other states and KNOW the cond tons and whereof write There Arkansas where plan suggesting above has been put into on today dollars being paid out in these products of the and there such close between the farmers that the mail order houses doing practically nothing these towns know where loads of poultry products has been shp during the few months In this and other towns the farmers know that they take in their butter chickens ducks feathers honey anything else they have for sale and get the for them any day. any time
 full we'll that if our business would but get to- geher organize such market house. that could not only be made to pay profit the business it would do but within years and people of the adjacent territory realizing Brnkeys cash market worth too much them be sending their mail order concerns
 The business Brnkey MUST together they MUST stand together their work MUST be of unseh broad guaged nature.

Circuit Court convened in post poned session on Monday and only one civil jury case has reached trial so far, all having been continued notwithstanding the efforts of Judge Trimble.
 Dorsey Moore, the Brinkley negro hold up artist, got 2 years in the pen on a plea of guilty.
 Big Boy Mcdonald, the Brink ley negro burglar, got 4 years in the pen.
 The blind tiger" cases are on the docket and several peniten- tiary sentences will likely be passed.

Just About Brinkley Town

There's no joking about the Lone Star Limited being a fast train" said a Brinkley man who came out from Memphis to Brinkley on the Cotton Belts crack flyer. They say that it was very difficult job for the railroad to find engineers for the Lone Star who would pull it thro on schedule time. A number of good engineers were tried before they could find the nervy fellows to do the work and strange as it may seem both of the engineers now driving thro Brinkley each day are Ex-Brinkley men, Lem Cargill and Engineer King.

Use Waste Patches

There are too many waste patches on Arkansas farms. The general farming operations in the state, seedbed, blowing and cultivation are better this year than ever before. More and better gardens are seen every where and we will have more corn and peas and other feed- stuffs than ever before and, the Lord be praised, the number of farmers who will go up to October out of debt to merchant or banker will be greater than ever before. These men will have to sell cotton if the price does not suit them. But now for the waste patches. Plant sudan grass, peas. potatoes. turnips, mangel wurzels, sor- ghums, Lespedeza, pumpkins, anything that will bn hetter than woods; something | able or for the stock L r~r"- foot of farming lana De asi..4- all the time, It will make the place look better too.

Wheatley stores you may be sure they will get it in Brinkley. All of this kind of trade has gene elsewhere before. We are for Wheatley first but if we can't get what we want then it is going to be mighty nice and convenient to be able to run over to Brinkley on the splendid road you people have just finished"
 The average Brinkleyite who has never driven over the beauti- full rice growing district of the prairie around Wheatley and Goodwin have not the slightest conception of what this road means to Brinkley. There is fully $5O,000 worth of trade that will come to our shops this year alone over this road that would not otherwise have come.

SPLENDID ROAD TO EAST
The Wheatley Road Trans. formed From the Worst to The Best Road
 Out of Brinkley

II drove from Brinkley to to Wheatley one night last week in ten minutes" says Allie Huddleston, and other speedsters lay claim to II and 12 minute records and even the slow driv- CTS are making the run now over the beautiful new road, just finished, in 15 minutes time.
 The Brinkley Special District Commissioners F. T. Murphy. H. G. Mitchell and c. F. Green lee have been giving their ex- elusive time to this road for several weeks and it is now finished.
 For 20 years the opening of an air line road from Brinkley tc Wheatley has been planned and talked of. A few years ago the business men of Brinkley thro' their organization had the road surveyed and cut out so that il could be travelled in very dry weather, but it has been abso. lutely impossible for nearly half of the year.
 To those who saw the road ir the above stage it is like dream to contemplate the great change that has been made by the fine highly graded road now extend ing from BrinkIey to the St. Francis County line near Wheat. ley.
 Manager Henry Smith of the Wheatley Rice Mill drove ovel in his auto yesterday to get Z piece of machinery repaired ane to the ARGUS man said. "yor people of Brinkley have no idle: of how much this road is going to be worth to you. Our people can now drive over to Brinkley in 15 minutes time and if there is anything they can not find 1T

Said Mayor Greenlee, T ap- preciate the action of the Brink ley citizens who responded to our request to clean up their property, cut weeds, etc. Some have not needed the notice but nearly all have. There has been an enforced delay in hauling away the cans and rubbish be- cause of an inability to secure a dumping place. This will be secured shortly and the work carried out as planned. ;"

The firm of Henry Wolf & Co. have published their first mes sage of the year '16 in the nature of an announcement of a "Prenaredness Offering" !" The announcement is a real classy one with swing of pep" and push and is calculated to attract the attention of trade in the Brinkley territory. This pre- paredness offering is for 10 days only and is worth the attention of every man and woman in Eastern Arkansas. Read it and be prepared.
