Is AGAINST PAVING.
Editor FL Paso Herald.
At a meeting OF the Highland Park
Improvement league, the question OF
paving the different streets along the
street railway was discussed
Now IL appears TO me 20 be very
lInpractlcaDle at the present time.
when "HOoverism" is preached every
where our country is in a very uu-
settled condition and I think the
money required for that work would
be far better expended by purchasing
Liberty bonds The roads in High
land Park are in excellent condition
hard, firm and even and never muddy.
in fact, they are i'm a far better con
dition than many Of our paved streets
that have depressiOns and rough
places IN them. Then another
point in favor OF not paving at
present is that many have bought
homes on the instalment plan. and
with the present high cost Of
food, clothing school books, etc. they
would be unable 10 pay for the paving
and meet their payments of their
homes. u the improvement league
really wishes 20 improve, why not in
slst that the property owners connect
with the sewers and do away with the
outside vaults which are very uusani-
tary and annoying TO the adjacent
neiEnbOrS who have COMPLIED with the
law, as : believe there is an ordinance
20 that effect, besides. IL would save
considerable expense to the city, as
the city wagons with two men and
two horses each make weekly trips.
Another point worth mentioning is
that none Of those urging paving own
one foot Of ground on the proposed
route but some have homes near the
car tracks
OF course it would be much nicer 70
ride along a well paved street until
the block where they reside is
reached, then turn up or down a few
doors to their homes. but I wonder I'll
the5 had TO pay a portion OF the ex-
pense If they would be so eager for
it, It is true, we are allowed five
years to pay for the paving. one pay
meut every year. but even that would
be impossible 10 the average laboring
man who has family and is buying
home So / advocate waiting awhile
until conditions are normal

The Brinkley friends of the family of J. T. Black will learn with sorrow of the death of Mrs. Black in Chicago, on July 8th.
 The Blacks moved to Brinkley just prior to the cyclone in 1909 and were residents here until a year or so ago.
 Mrs. Black had been an inya- lid for some IA years and with it all was a most patient sufferer.

 ''I started taking Tanlac, de- termined that it would help me, and l am happy to say that 1t has done that and even more. l have finished my fourth bottle and the results have been simply wonderful. My hands and arms have healed up entirely and the pains in my stomach have dis appeared. I sleep better and am not nervous like used to be. My cheeks are rosy and 1 feel well and strong in every way. l now weigh one hundred and thirteen (t13) pounds, which is fifteen (15) pounds more than l weighed when I began taking Tanlac,
 T don't have to live on milk and eggs now, but eat such things as meat and vegetables of all kinds s-in fact, anything l want-and everything agrees with me and seems to give me strength instead of making me sick like it used to.
 'Tanlac is the finest medicine in the world, and l had no idea there was anything that would do me so much good in such a short length of time. Yes, sir, you may put my statement in the paper if you want to, for l want to do my part towards letting the world know about this wonderful medicine. "
 Yes, it's just wonderful the way this medicine has changed her." said Miss Brewers father, who had joined in the conversa- tion, and no one is more happier over it than myself. She has had a world of suffering to go through, and 1 have been very uneasy about her. Her sickness has cost me many a dollar, too, and I am mighty glad she found out about Tanlac when she did. /"

The Brinkley argus., 1917-07-20

IT begins to look now that Arkansas is going to be swept by the boil weevil. Possibly if this pest does come, there will then be some concert of action among our merchants and busl- ness men looking to the market ing of the products of the farm.
 As lamentable as it is, our mer- chants and farmers are all working singly and with no con- cert of action at all The real merchant knows full well that it is his first duty to see that the farmers get the very highest possible price for their products. When the merchants assist the farmers to do this then it is no more than right and proper that the farmer should buy at home and pay a fair profit. The U. s. Government is spending millions of dollars to force these condi- tions to a satisfactory adjust
