The Real Estate and Abstract Men of Lonoke
 County

Reader, are you thrilled with the noblest of all ambitions, desire to get home? Then look about you for the nearest accessible spot; select it in an equable climate, where lands are cheap, water good and the air gives of the Lords footstool for your very own. Plant yourself on the soil, build you roof-tree, a home, planned after the desire of your own heart. Beauti- fy it; plant trees and vines; love your home and care for it, and in your old age it will help care for you; make 1t a refuge of peace and happiness, to which memory will ever fondly re- turn.
 Lonoke, the county seat of Lonoke county, is located on the Rock Island Railroad, twenty-three miles east of Little Rock, the State Capital.
 The writer has been a citizen of the territory composing Lonoke county (which stands in the front rank as one of the best agricultural counties in Arkansas), for fifty years, and has witnessed the gradual development of the county from beautiful undulat- ing, undeveloped plain, where a small per cent was Q crude state of cuitiya- ten, to the present time when a very large area has been and is being de- veloped into a beautiful and profitable agricultural section.
 Literature has been distributed throughout the iand, with the view of inducing the home-maker to come with us and help develop our wonderful natural resources.
 In the earlier days lands were so cheap that the majority of homeseek- CTS came and went, believing that the soil was of no value because of the ex- ceedingly low price placed upon them.
 Many of our native citizens lived upon public or free lands, and declined to buy valuable property at fifty cents per acre. Their sons and the sons of the new settlers, of many years ago, are buying and developing these same lands at s30 to S100 per acre. We are impressed with the fact that of late years our principal agricul- .urists are stockraisers, dairymen, general farmers, and are engaged in tho manufacturing of hard and soft timber, cotton seed, oil, rice and by products, etc, and gre largely the na-

 The affairs Of the Bank of Centra Arkansas have been under the care ful guidance of ". T. Couch, cashier. for the past sixteen years, during the period of rapid and substantial growth Of the community and county, aud his sterling value to such a con cern is amply demonstrated by the results-as shown on the statements requirec by the Government at uncer- tain intervals.
 The growth of the banks business IS due Ia a large measure to the ab board or directors, which includes leading business men of the city, who have used that same ability that has made them successful in their various lines of activity, to direct the affairs of the big financial institution.

 In earlier days we sought the capi- talists to come from other States, with experience and money, to develop our fine agricultural lands and country. There is still room for those with capital, energy. grit and integrity to help the further development of the resources of Lonoke county.

SOLF REQUESTS MODIFICATION
 OF ARMISTICE
Sends Note To Lansing Claiming Hardship for Ger
 mans to Leave Turkey.

London, Friday, Nov. 15-Dr. Solf, the German foreign secretary, ac- cording to a German wireless mes sage, has sent to Secretary Lansing a note referring to the article in the Anglo-Turkish armistice requiring German civilians to leave the Iurx- ish empire immediately and declar- ing that a literal fulfilment of the article must cause severe hardships, especially to poor people and appears unreasonable after the conclusion of 8 universal armistice."
 The German foreign secretary adds that German hospitals and asyiun1s for the blind and orphans, c1e orphan asylums caring principally for Ara. menian children, will be compelled to close, thus causing new suffering among the Christian population"
 The German government, Dr. Solf adds, requests that President Wilson intervene in favor of these German civilians being permitted to remain in Turkey.
 The note of the German foreign of- flee concerning the repatriation of German civilians in Turkey is similar to an unsigned communication receiv- ed in Washington Thursday from Vienna, in which the Austrian gov ernment asked President Wilson to use his good offices so as to permit former Austro-H Hungarian subjects to remain in the Ottoman empire.

 Question is Settled.

 David Wynkoop, the revolutionary socialist; demanded the immediate abdication of the queen and urging a general strike. He proposed that demobilized troops should refuse to surrender control of the armies until they were assured of food supplies for themselves and families. He re- marked, incidentally, that Troelstra and his adherents were on the side of the Bourgeoisie, just as Schedide- mann and Ebert are in Germany.

CROWN PRINCE IS
 INTERNED IN HIS
 FRIENDS CASTLE
Kaiser Regarded by Holland as 8 Distinguished For
 eigner and Not Interned.

London, Friday, Nov. 15-Former Crown Prince Frederick William Of Germany has been interned at the Gisbert Wolff Metternich at Swalmen a town in the province of Limburg, Holland, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co. It is reported that his wife is with him.
 Amerongen, Holland, Wednesday, Nov. 13-William Hohenzollern has not been interned by the Netherlands government, being regarded by it as distinguished foreigner who has sought refuge in Holland and has a claim to protection. He, therefore, is presumably free to go where he likes, but the fact that his suite actually has been interned restricts his move. ments.
 The former emperor was seen to- day strolling about the castle grounds with Count Won Bentinck and the counts son. He wore a gray mili- tary overcoat. This afternoon he was shown over the castle of Zuylenstein a mile away and the residence of Count Von Bentinck's brother.
 The members of the former emper- or's suite today surrendered their swords to Dutch officers. They pre- | viously had surrendered their other arms and today's for7nality complet- 1 ed the act of internment.
