 Mir. J. H. Roman, brother of MT. J. R. Roman of this place, is also, rice man. holding the prominent and responsible position of district man. ager for the Southern Rice Growers Association at New Orleans, and is one of the committee of three who will supervise the distribution of the 40,000,O00 bushel rice crop the farm CTS of Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and other rice growing states expect to make this year. The work will be-. done under the direction and control of the United States food administra- tion, as the rice market control has been assumed by Mir Hoover. The other members of this committee are MT. E. A. Eignus, secretary treasurer of the association, and Mir. J E. Broussard, president of the Rice Millers' Association.
 This places Mir J R. Roman in the category of a government employee, and as such expects to handle sales of rice for the members of the Association in his territory of about million and half bushels this season.
 MT. Roman is fast becoming con sidered as leading citizen of Arkansas and has been found to be always on the job in his district, ready to accommodate his rice grow CTS in every way possible. However, once year he makes a trip back to Louisiana, where he keeps in touch with his former acquaintances and friends, but spends most of his vaca- ton fishing at Bay St. Louis, Miss.

THE BANK OF CARLISLE
Sound, Reliable and Progressive, Enjoying Steady
 Growing Popularity
An Institution That Has in
 

In no other particular has the credit and good reputation of Carlisle been so much strengthened in recent years as it has been by the addition of several worthy and re- liable institutions among which is the Bank of Carlisle which was estab- lished in 1907 by several of the lead ing business men of the community, who foresaw that the advantages offered farmers and business men by this section of the state would insure its growth and call for the facilities offered by the institution.
 Under the able management of R. A. Hutson, president; H. 1. Buechley, vice-president and B. D. Muzzy, cashier, the institution has grown and prospered until it is known throughout the Carlisle territory as place where it is both pleasant and profitable to do business, while the undivided profits, shown by a recent balance sheet, give conclusive ev- idence that the manner of doing business is a profitable one for the stockholders. The capital stock is SIP, 10000, while the undivided profits are $4,500.00, making a real working capital of s17,000.00.
 The policy of the Bank of Carlisle is broad enough to work for every thing that tends to better the cit izenship and build ap the business prosperity of the town ard commu- nifty, while it is conservative to that point where the careful investment and handling of the funds entrusted to the officers of the institution is assured the stockholders and depos- itors to such degree that all who have done or do business with the bank, hawa the utmost confidence in it's stability anu ;R the sterling worth of those in control of its manage ment.
 Much of the credit for the prestige enjoyed by the Carlisle Bank is due to the able handling of the concerns business by Cashier B. D. Muzzy, who, by the way, is the earliest of settlers in Carlisle still living in the own. While number of other .arly settlers reached the site soon
The Carlisle independent., 1918-07-25

after Mir. Muzzy moved here, and several lived on farms nearby, who now live in town, he enjoys the distinction of being the first resident of the town, who now lives here.
 During his forty odd years of res idence here, Mir. Muzzy has been prominently identified with every movement for good initiated by the business men, or church He is one of the living cornerstones of the Baptist church, where he has been for many years an active worker
 The bank now occupies a two- story brick building 25 TO feet, on a site purchased by Mrs. Muzzy, mother of B. D. Muzzy, soon after reaching Carlisle, when the town was little more than a milk shipping station with just few frame build

No commercial review of either Carlisle or Lonoke County would be considered complete without special reference to MT. J. R. Roman, who for the past two years has been the progressive manager of the Carlisle and Lonoke district for the Southern Rice Growers Association, and who during that short period of time has succeeded in building up the mem oership and business of the organiza- ton until he hnadles 90 per cent of the immense output of this great sec ton and expects this season to make t an even 100 per cent. His ter ritory covers from 25,000 to 30,000 acres of fertile rice lands, and he has secured an increase of 40 per cent in, the membership of the Association since taking charge, as only 50 per cent of the rice growers in this sec ton were members at that time, as against the 90 per cent now. The annual sales are approximately ST. 100000.
 Mir. Roman is not rice man" by accident, but is thorough in his pro fession through hard work and study. as he entered the business as 6 sample boy on the New Orleans Board of Trade when but fourteen years of age and has been steadily advancing upward ever since. Then again. if there is anything in the theory of inheriting qualifications along any certain lines, MT. Roman was exceedingly fortunate, for his father, large sugar planter before the war, later became member ot the New Orleans Board of Trade and owned and operated rice mill in that city.
 The Roman family is one of the best known in Louisiana and the family history is interwoven with that of the state, as Mir. J. R. Roman, of Carlisle is direct descendent of

who resides about two miles south west of town where he does "gen- eral' profitable farming business, says that on April 10, when he reached the site of the present town, he found one shop and eleven ether buildings. Mir. Conrad has made success of diversified farming and raised two stalwart boys, both of whom have answered the call to colors, L. E.. Conrad being at Great Lakes, H., and c. c. Conrad being in the naval training station at Charles ton, s. c.
 No complete historical records are extant from which the data of the early days may be supplied, but the town was incorporated by 1878, showing conclusively that it's pioneer founders were men of great vision, fully expecting the community to grow and prosper. The first or dinance was passed November 1, 1873 and it is signed by John Marshall as mayor and attested by B. D. Muzzey. recorder. There is no mention in the official books now in possession of Mayor L. R. Kirby, as to when the settlement was in-, corporated.
 Others of the old settlers living in Carlisle now, who have aided much in compiling this general review of the history of the town, are MT. Henry Ellingsworth, Captain Heffner and Mrs. M. J. Turrentine. who was a pioneer settler, charter member of the Methodist Church and kind of second mother to the noted Opie Reid, eked out precarious existence for some years here gaining that experience publishing the Prairie Flower" which enableI tim later in life to get to the hearts of the fun loving people of the nation.
 According to sor,e settlers, the town of Carlisle was of such a
The Carlisle independent., 1918-07-25

front as the most important of the towns situated on the Grand Prairie of Arkansas.
 Since the reorganization of the Chamber of Commerce, many merito- rious movements were given an inn petus by the business men and sev- eral substantial results have been secured.
 There are at present forty active business men of the town in good standing on the membership rolls, with the following being members of the Board of Directors: H. l. Buech- ley, president; J. F. Gillispie, vice president; L. B. Krshka, treasurer L. R. Kirby, secretary; W. H. Nich- ols, c. c. Reed, J. c. Welch and Albert Zimmerman. The following are chairmen of the standing com mittees: Executive, H. I. Buechley Finance, w. H. Nichols; Membership, H. l. Bueehley; Agriculture, A. Zinl- merman; Education, R. D. Highfill 1; Merchants, J. c. Welch; Entertain ment, c. c. Hummel and Publicity, E. M. Williams.
 The Chamber of Commerce has the object of the betterment of the com munity and co-operates in every way possible with every movement tend ing to aid not only those living with in the confines of the town, but to better farming interests generally throughout the county.

 SECRET SOCIETIES
 Carlisle IS s u well represented by social and fraternal orders, ten of the leading fraternal orders of the United States having effective well manned branches in the town. Possibly the oldest of these is Carlisle Lodge No. 587 Free & Ac- cepted Masons, which has enjoyed a large membership for many years.

Carlisle is rapidly becoming one of the best known towns in Arkansas and it is fast becoming recognized as the coming southern competitor of the great northwestern dairy farm ing sections, being already rec ognized as the "Elgin of the South vest while the fame of the great Lonoke County rice fields and the big rice mill located in this town has spread beyond the boundaries of the country into foreign fields, but the history of the town car only be ob- tained from "reminiscences of the early settlers.
