GOOD GOOD ROADS MEETING
Money Pledged for Green Forests Por.
 ton of the Preliminary Survey.

It was good good roads meeting held in the park Friday evening. It was one of the series of meetings being held under the auspices of the Carroll County Jefferson Highway Association
 I. B. McMaster, of Berryvile, the president of the association, presided and in his happy way introduced the speakers of the evening, among whom were Rue c. Gibson, Judge J. S. Naples, A. J. Russell and Judge Roy Thompson of Berryville; Judge Freeling and Walter Snapp of Harrison; c. A. Fuller and F. L. Allen of Eureka Springs; John Stafford and Andy Cox of Green Forest.
 The object of the meeting was to promote the building of Carroll county s link of the Ozark Cutoff to the Jefferson Highway from Eureka Springs to AL pena, and to explain how these im- provement districts are organized.
 It is great big undertaking and will require not only the cooperation but the assistance of all residents along the proposed route.
 The meeting was largely attended and great enthusiasm shown, and from all indications the project will have no opposition in Green Forest territory.
 The engineer is now engaged in making the preliminary survey and when he reaches Green Forest 1t is ex- pected that our citizens will volunteer to assistin finding the most practical route from here to Alpena and from here to Berryville.
 The building of this road will mean vastly more to our people than any thing since the building of the railroad thru the county.
 A meeting of our business men was called to meet in the park at o'clock Wednesday afternoon, vice president J. B. Reeves presiding. The object of the meeting was for the purpose of ap- pointing more vice presidents and se- cure pledges for Green Forests amount of the money necessary for the prelim- mary survey from Berryville to Green Forest and from Green Forest to, AL pena. The amount of $255.50 was soon pledged and Sam McMahan, J. NJ. Dun lap, Ad McNemar. and John Blasin- game were appointed to. act with the members in selecting the most practical route from Green Forest to Alpena and securing a right-ofway, etc. Between Green Forest and Berryville John Staff ford, Frank Braswell, Walter Norton and Henry Marshall were appointed. There are two routes in question be- tween Green Forest and Berryville and it will pay for the residents of each road to get busy and show how badly they want it to come their way by offer ing the greatest inducement

Arkansas Boy in France

Lieut. Cook, who is with Pershing in France, writes interestingly to his mother at Texarkanna. The letter is dated Somewhere in France" July z, and, in part is as follows:
 Everything sure appears funny over here. The French people all walk in the middle of the street, and go along jabbering and talking with their hands. 1 can talk with them, but it is hard work. There isno danger for me here, but before this letter reaches you I'll be where bombs are bursting and soon thereafter Ill be on the front. Don t any of you worry; that's not the way to do. You must know that if am killed or wounded twill be while am trying to get up to some German to loop his head off. I'll laugh about it, and that's what all of you must do.
 "You have no idea how slender the ties which bind you to others become when you getinto such tough and care free atmosphere-th there is nothing but work, drill and criticism. Later on, of course, there will be much danger. All of these things and many others work on you to such an extent that you become good soldier. That IS you have no fear of anything.
 Really and truly 1 enjoy ed your last letter. A great big lump came in my throat as I read it. am glad you look on my being here with satisfaction and pride. should hate to think you do not want me here. There is very much danger, of that you may be sure. There is every possibility that may never see any of you again. That is why l say that I am glad you feel about my being here as you do. Considered from my standpoint cannot and do not allow myself to think too much of what is liable to happen to me. That would be the part of a coward. Of course 1 want to get safely through and shall exercise every plecaution, but shall not. avoid danger where duty calls. 1 am good Presbyterian-f this is my time, well and good; if not, well and good. If 1 am lucky, to express it as soldier did, I'll get through-if not 1 won't. You must always remem- ber that love you and all of those at home. am not allowed to say where we are. But will say that in few days we shall leave here for place about 15 miles from the front There we will train and there we will fight. Good bye, good luck and God bless you all"

orders from Chief of Police Blac'

market days. The ordinance was
enforced strictly on Saturday but
the early closing had little effect
