WANTS NEIGHBORS

To The Times Readers: Miss Peters
has kindly allowed me space in The
Times to tell its readers about the
chances to get good, cheap homes
down here in this part of Arkansas,
and if you will give me your eyes a
minute or SO, you will know whether
you want to know more about it.
| have been here ever since I quit
the management of the Cutlery Com
pany in your city, and think l am
competent to tell you all about it.
Of course every one has good job
now, but we all know there will come
time, and possibly not so far off,
that this will not be the case.
Then, if ono has home Of his own,
where he can raise his living, and
have all the advantages of a new
country, where the climate is mild,
healthful and pleasant, out in these
beautiful scenic hills, with its abund-
ance of springs of the purest of
water, sparkling streams, free and
abundant range for all kinds of stock,
with no fuel or rent bills to pay
then one will be sure of living with
out asking leave of some one else, and
be free.
And the good part of it is, only a
few hundred dollars will secure such
home here now. But the way peo-
pie are coming in here from all over
the United States, or having me Sc
cure such tracts for them, as | have
for lots of people lately, they intend
ing to come later, this chance will not
last always.
know of tracts of 100 acres, with
all the land one would need to farm,
suitable to cultivate, with lots of tim
ber for needs of same for lifetime,
with nice springs, well located for a
home that can be bought now for
from $4 to $40 an acre, part in pay
ments if desired. One 100 joining me
is such, with a fine springfield stream
through it, about 25 acres cleared,
house, barn, etc., on it, on main auto
road, for 5000.
And as would like near neigh
Dor, | will give choice of my fine
bunch of pigs to anyone who will take
it. This tract was recently sold out
of an estate and is really worth at
least $1,000 or more.
l know an 80 near me that has
about 100000 feet of timber on it
that is worth at the rate of about $50
to $100 a thousand for the wagon and
furniture material at Clarksville, and
can be put there for about $25 thou
sand, leaving at least $50 a thousand
net. There is fine spring on it and
about ten acres cleared, fenced and in
cultivation. This tract belongs to a
nonresident and can be had in the
next two weeks at $500.
I know of eight OF ten such bar
gains in different sized tracts. This
is not the flint rock part of Arkansas,
but sandy loan, rich and fertile.
Timber has about doubled in price,.
with unlimited demand now, in the
last year, and most timber land has
advanced accordingly. But these I
mention can yet be had at the old
prices. They are going fast, so one
wanting a good cheap home while yet
there is an opportunity, and right at
home, might say, who will send me
a Scent stamp for postage, I will
send a complete illustrated descrip-
tion of this country. To those de-
pending on the will of others for the
means of life, and would like to be
really free and independent, l feel
sure what l send you will be of in
terest and valuable.
There is no place like "a home of
your own"
Sincerely,
The Monett times., 1918-04-05

leading vote for city commissioner at
the primary and cicy election, has
lived in Southwest Missouri all his

Monet, June 81, 1874.
He was educated in the Peirce City
public schools, at the Peirce City Bap-
tist college and the normal school at
Cassville. He taught three terms of
school in the county.
He served as deputy county collec-
tor for four years. After serving one
year as bookkeeper in the Newman

NOTED to the position of teller and
later became assistant cashier.
In 1910 he was married to Miss
Jeane Johnston, of Monet. In the
fall of 1910 he was elected by an over
whelming majority to the office of re-
corder of deeds of the county on the
Democrat ticket. He filled the office
to the satisfaction of all.
Returning to Monett in 1915, he
again took up his work as assistant
