WKEAILEI CHILDREN
 FIND THEIR PONY
The Lost Shetland Pony at WheatIey Recovered, and the Family Of Children is Made
 Happy Once More.

Last Tuesday my clever and esteemed friend, D. H. Smith, one of the progressive and sue cessful rice planters of Wheatl ley, was in Brinkley hunting for a lost Shetland pony belonging to his little boys and girls. Friend Smith had traced the Shetland out of Wheatley coming toward Brinkley. When he went home from searching for the animal on Thursday and reported to the children that he failed to find any trace of it, they broke down and cried. He cheered them however, when he told them he had advertised for it in the Ar gus.
 The Argus came out and was III lIG OlllC6 ctG O .CO l HUI OQctJ afternoon and just an hour later the ad had done it's work and the children made happy, for tele- phone messages and letters from Brinkley and even special autos told them that the Argus had found their pony.
 Early next morning their kind hearted daddy loaded 'em in his Dort auto and they start ed to get Maud" who refused to nibble at Brinlxley's grass and weeds and wandered on west of town 4 or , miles when she was put up by Robert Williford. 1 saw those bright-faced Smith children and it did me good to see the happiness that the ad in the Argus had brought to them.
