ONE MAN BUILT ABROAD

Ii often takes just one man to set
out to do thing in order to get it
done. Because one man in the west
ern edge Of Benton county, north
western Arkansas, set out to build
road from his farm to town, that
road, beautiful stretch of driveway,
is now a reality.
Bud Smith had farm in the
Illinois river bottom five miles from
town. The road, as he found it when
he bought the farm, was bad. 1t was
rough, rocky and sometimes muddy.
He had to ford the river Much Of
the time the river was up and kept
him from making needed trips to
town
Smith wanted the road, but no one
else seemed particularly interested.
So he built a stretch from his house.
close by the side of a hill for 800
yards Then, turning across the bot
tom land, he hauled 1000 loads of
gravel and put on the heavy, black
loan. This was done with his own
teams and his own force.
There was the question of bridg-
ing the river. The county would
not put in a bridge, so Smith raised
$500 among the neighbors and added
to it $500 more of his own money.
This amount of money bought the
materials for steel bridge.
By the time the bridge materials

JOHN BROWN ENLISTS

John r. Brown, of Middendorf,
well-known in Chesterfield and
throughout this section, has been ac-
cepted for enlistment in the United
States regular army and is now on
temporary duty at Fort Screven, Ca,
awaiting permanent assignment The
cavalry was selected as his branch of
the service by young Mr.. Brown, for
all volunteers have the privilege of
choosing their own branch. His
many friends in this community will
be glad to hear of his success in en-
tcring the service and their best
wishes will follow him while he is
helping Uncle Sam to win this war.
Volunteers for the army are need
ed now as never before, and repeated
calls for men not registered for the
selective draft are heard every day
from the recruiting Offices. The Off
cials advise all young men and those
between the ages of 80 to 40 to grasp
this opportunity to aid the nation in
this titanic struggle against the Huns.
Mr.. Browns name will be one more
to the already long list of those who
have answered the call from this sc ;.
ton. 1t is expected that few, if any,
will remain after short while, for
number are contemplating enlist
ing now.

FOUR DESERTERS
IN THE COUNTY

The Local Board for Chesterfield
County had to report four men as
deserters during the past week, and
very likely there was not one of them
that was wilfully guilty, their failure
to report was possibly due to their
failing to get their orders on ac-
count of having changed their ad-
dress and not notifying the Board.
A deserter is reflection on our
County, and the Board tries in every
way possible to locate men who fail
to respond, so as to avoid trouble for
the men and also the blot on the
records of the County.
Every man that is liable to be
called should see to it that the Local
Board has his correct address. and
should call for his mail regularly
also every citizen should make it his
business to look out for those who
may, through ignorance, fail to rea-
iize their responsibility and their dan
ger.

THREE STILLS RAIDED

Last Thursday was a very unluc,;y
day for moonshiners in Chesterfield
County.
Deputy Sheriff Jas. T. Grant, ac.
companied by two U. S. revenue Off
GERS, raided two stills near hidden
dorf on that day and Sheriff d. P.
Douglass put another one out of COM
mission in the upper end of the coun-
ty.
Mr.. Grant and party had traced
liquor to the home of Daniel Johnson
near Middendorf, and after very
careful search located a fine conner
still of about 25 gallons capacity un-
der the smoke-hous floor. This ont
tit was very ingeneously arranged. A
large cellar had been dug and the
still placed in position. A movable
floor YVES placed over this. The flue
was carried under ground quite a dis
tance from the smoke house. So well
was this still concealed that only
very close inspection revealed its
whereabouts.
johnson was not at bome but no
doubt is held but he will be taken at
an early date and cared for by the
U. s. government. A great quantity
of sour mash was found in barrels
setting about the place.
From there the party went to the
the home of Bill Mitchell, nearer
McBee, where they found about l2
gallons of liquor. Mitchell was taken
in charge by the revenue officers.
The sheriff is said to have found
some liquor and mash but his man
wasn't at home.
