thoughtful conscientious voters oppose
this road bonding scheme arises in their
suspicion of the motives of the men
who fathcred it and forced it through
the legislature. We know these gentle
and "bv their works - Many of the
laws that they have tried to foist upon
the people in the past were fearfully
and wonderfully made-aye past all
finding out. Let us be wise and exam
inc the label on the goods before we
part with our good money.
l have listened to the pleadings of
some of the paid advocates who go
about the country persuading the peo-
pie to vote these bonds They do not
impress me as frank or candid. The
story is altogether too beautiful, too
one sided. According to this beautiful
stry the roads are to cost nobody cent
and the people have only to ride up
and down them and enjoy life and get
rich in what they save in gasoline and
tires.
Much capital is made out of the per-
sonnel of the new state road commiS7
sion. Good men doubtless, but how re-
markable that commission appointed
to build roads for farmers should be
composed entirely of capitalists, bank
crs and promoters The history of
bonding for roads in this country has
been very largely a history of graft
and eXtravagances on the part of the
machine, - and devastation and ruin
to the farmers and taxpayers. Let S go
slow until we know that the "machine'
has really had a "change of heart y

A Delicious Luncheon.


"A clear soup, brook trout, broil-
ed chicken and some salad, coffee and
a sweet" she told the waiter. then
turned to me: "WiH that do?" she
asked.
It will do nicely" 1 replied, and
it was really delightful luncheon,
wonderfully well served. But more
than my interest in the food. was NV
interest in the crowd of fashionable
people in the place.
" It is interesting, ism it2" Vivian
queried smiling at me. ''But you
mustn t neglect youE luncheon.''
Suddenly / thought | saw fam.
liar back. 1t couldn't bet WAS
Tom. And opposite him sat girl,
rather a young woman, who, even in
this fashionable assembly, would be
noticed for the richness and modish-
ness of her toilette.
| quickly glanced at Vivian to see
if she had noticed the unconscious
start 1 gave, but she was busy with
her chicken and l was sure had not
seen Tom. If only we could get away
without her knowing that he was
there. l do not pretend to analyze my
feelings, but / instinetively felt that
he had no right in this expensive
place; no right to take anyone but me
out to lunch with him. And [ was
greatly relieved, although my pleasure
in the day was gone, when Vivian said:
well have to go at once or we

THAT eliminates thatl we'n go to

As she had said the place on upper
Fifth Avenue was crowded. But the
moment the head waiter saw us, he
came forward, and calling Vivian by
name said:
"Just a moment Miss Morton, I IL
find you table, - and although there
were many others waiting he came
back almost Immediately and gave us
a table in the center of the room.
l was impressed-more than the
occasion warranted as | know now
with this attention, and looked curious

while the head waiter stood quietly
while we should decide what we would
eat.
''What would you like, Mrs. Ran

"Oh, you please order Miss Nor

show my ignorance of the dishes with
the French names, 'T like every

"That makes it easy!' she laughed,
and gave the order.

THE SPRING PEST

If could WELD the pen of Pope, or talk

He sows about ton of seed of blue grass

those weeds his soul defect; he tries to kill

A Card From II. N. Highfill. To My Neighbors and Friends in
 Greene County:
 I take this method of expressing my deep appreciation for the many courtesies, favors and support, that you have given me. In my earliest remembrance and continuously since the people have dealt kindly to- ward me. Some years ago l came before the people and asked them to make me your county assessor, and this you did for two terms, and since that time l have been en- gagged in farming and stock breeding and have received a liberal share of your patronage. None of these cour- tesies have I forgotten, nor will l ever forget them. It is now after much reluctance and many fond regrets that l am preparing to leave the good old county of Greene to make my home in the neighbor- ing state of Missouri; but it is my intention to be with you in the cot ton market again this fall. We will have our gin repaired and remod- eled so as to give you honest and efficient service, and any part of your patronage that you may see
 Y, fit to give me will be appreciated and we will give you the best ser vice possible. With good wish and will for you all. I remain,

HAS NO MORE NEED
 FOR CRUTCHES NOW
P. G. Hooks Spent $2,0OO Trying to Restore His Wife's Health-Gains 16 Pounds. on Tanlac.

Another wonderful indorsement for Tanlac that will be read with interest by thousands of frail, suf- fering women throughout the south was given recently by Mrs. Eliza beth Hooks, of Rome, Ga. Mrs. Hooks is the wife of P. c. Hooks, a well-known Southern railway en- gineer. Mrs. Hooks made the re- markable statement that she had received more benefit from four bot ties of Tanlac than from medical treatment that had cost her hus- band S2,OOO, which he had paid out in the past two years in an ef- fort to restore her health.
 "For about two years,' said Mrs Hooks. "I have been in very bad health and have suffered from stom- ach trouble, extreme nervousness and a bad form of rheumatism. For more than seven months l was con fined to my bed and was almost a nervous and physical wreck. My dl- gestion was so poor l had to diet myself and rarely ate anything but soft boiled eggs and milk and things of that kind, and even the lightest of foods would nauseate me and lay heavily on my stomach.
 "Anv sudden noise would affect my nerves, and my husband had to quit setting the alarm clock ana the door to my room had to De kept closed so I could not hear the ringing of the telephone. l have had the rheumatism in my left hip and shoulders so bad I could hardly bear anything to touch me.
 My condition became so bad, my husband took me to Hot Springs Ark. where I remained for month. I had to use crutches all the time. The treatment there helped me for a while, and I returned home. l soon relapsed into my old condition, and then I was taken to a specialist in Atlanta.
 q had fallen off from one hun dred and twenty pounds until only weighed eighty-nine pounds-Just shadow of my former self
 "The specialist prescribed course of treatment, but before using the medicine I decided to give Tanlac a trial. I did this because of what I had read of MT. Cooper's new medicine and because my hus- band had heard so many railroad men recommend it.
 "That was the best resolution o1 my life. I am now on my fourth bottle and feel better than at any time since I became i'll. l can now eat anything I want, and my food agrees with me-besides, every thing I eat tastes good and l en- joy my meals.
 'I have set my crutches aside and actually feel so much better I told my husband a few days ago believed I would turn off the cook. but he insisted that l wait while,.
 TT now weigh one hundred and five pounds, which is a gain of six teen pounds, and am improving right along every day. Before talk ing Tanlac I was so weak and trail I was greatly discouraged and could not persuade myself to believe that I would ever be able to enjoy an other well day. But l don't feel that way now. I am not nervous like | was, and I can see and feel a great improvement l sleep better and my strength is returning rapidly"
 Tanlac is sold by Hardesty X Lackcy in Paragould; Marmaduke Pharmacy, Marmaduke, Ark; R, l.. Hutcherson, Peach Orchard, Ark, and Wolcott Drug Store, Walcott.
