A wagon driven by a young man by
the name of LaPlante from French
Mills was knocked off the railroad
crossing at the Arcadia station by the
north bound Sunshine Special one
morning a couple of weeks since. The
driver and team escaped without q
scratch, but the wagon was badly de-
molished. The train made no stop to
ascertain what damage was done.
Mr.. L. W. Graves of Des Arc re-
ports that he has been quite success
full in securing men for work in the
%shipyards. He wishes to make a
record in this county and urges all
mechanics to enroll in the Public Ser
vice Reserve. 1t is only necessary to
apply for a card. Should a man be
called upon for this class of work he
will be assured of good wages and
good living conditions, besides doing
a part to help the Government.

handling the smallpox situation. The

In the county court proceedings al
published last week there were errors
, in reporting the settlements of man,
of the r~oadoverseers in the county
The printed report showed warrants
drawn in favor of every r%oadoverseei
in making settlement. This wa
wrong. In fact, only five overseer
, drew warrants for balance due. The,
were: j. G. Wood, district Q, SIS 30
W. E, Westerman, district>14, s34 Is
Edward Payne, district 10, $3.50
G. q. Adams, district 16, $41.97
; J. W. Goggin, district II, 1926, Th'
other roadoverseers, instead of re
ceiving warrants for balance due, al
J shown last week, turned back into
the treasury the amounts they ar
charged with having received. TIL,
. errors were made in getting the cop.
