raisers in Eastern Arkansas,
among the number are Mr.. Webb

others at above $500 went to
Texas and Alabama.
Here's congratulatiol for the
Monroe County man % has

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. %, 1917.
Mr.. VIM. B. Folsom,
Brinkley, Ark.
My Dear Sir:
| herewith enclose you one of
the pens that signed the first
good road bill of Monroe county.

vancement must be slow.

your representative, while a
member Of the 10th and 41st
General Assembly, | have at all
times tried to conduct myself
hon orably. and cast my vote and
influence for the best interest of

MAN IN LINE FOR
BISMARCK TERM

Ambrose Tribune: Last Satur-
day evening the village marshal took
into custody Harlan McCumber who
has been living north of Fortuna
the past summer on a charge of
disposing of mortgaged property.
McCumber has been in the habit of
giving mortgages on property
around here this summer and then
disposing Of the property. This
fall when he did not pay up and
foreclosures began, the property
could not be located. He was TAX
en- to Crosby and bound over to the
district court. In all probability
he will get job working for the
state for some time. He also has
a habit of finding things that be-
'ong to other people and it is about
time he was receiving a good les
son. Only short time ago his
brother was sent to the state peni-
tentiary at Bismarck for stealing
horses ID

e Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Uglum Of west
of the city were in town on Thurs
day Of last week for the purpose of
attending the recital given by the
piano pupils Of Mrs Drinkwater.
The Uglum children are pupils OF
Mrs. Drinkwater. While in the city
Mr.. Uglum told us that he had sold
his prize Shorthorn bull to A. H..
Rohweder of Goodwin, S. D.. who
was here recently and looked at the
animal. The bull is registered and
is considered to be by far the best
in this section of the state. Mr..
Uglum bought him three years ago,
when he was five years old, and
would not part with him for any
amount now were it not for the.
fact that he is unable to use him
any longer with his herd. The
bull will be shipped to its new
home in a short time. Mr.. Uglum
attended the International Stock
Show held at Chicago recently, and
while there looked over all !. the
prize bulls on exhibition with q
view toward purchasing one to
take the place Of the one sold, but
came home without buying, and this
leads us to believe that he has
something else in sight, and WIN be
shipping in another registered ant.
NAL Just the same Jim has prob
ably done more toward improving
tho cattle in Burke county by ship
ping in registered stock than any
other person residing here.

was packed by an invited audience
