The following letter which is
self explanatory VII he Of much
interest to the people Of No
tieello and vicinity.
Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 10, 1919.
Mr.. Lamar williamson.
Sec. Monticello Chamber
of Commerce,
Monticello Arkansas.
Dear Sir:
I am in receipt Of a lett
from Nh. W. Z. Brooks, General
Superintendent of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad, in which h
states as follows:
I'm connection with the
quest Of Monticello. for
ditional train service over
Warren Branch.
Beg 10 state that this matt
has been Investigated by
personally and recommend
submitted TO our manageme
which has formed the basis
negotiations between the Re-.
gional Director o. the Sou
western Region and Washington
Administration for sometime.
and now bids fair to come to a
conclusion in the near future,
possibly ten days or two weeks"
Mr. Brooks was in the Office
Saturday and | had 4 talk with
him with reference to this mat
ter and he advised me that he
knew that you people were en-
titled 70 relief down there, but at
the present tine he had his
hands tied. He has had this mat
ter up with fha Administration
+ for some time and feels that
they vii order this train put on
within the next ten days or two
weeks. He also stated that if
the Commission should order
the Railroad Company to estab-
Ilish this train service, that it
would have 10 go through the
Railroad Company before it
could be put on anyway and he
thought the better way is to let
Mr. Robertson handle it with
Washington. which lie is doing
At this time.
We viii keep on the job and
trust that voa will wait this ten
days and II the train is not put
on at thai time we will docket
same ard issue order. | know
that this matter has been pend
ing fer some tine and that the
people should have some relief,
but owing 70 the uncertain con-
dition Of railroad affairs at this
time, it seems that we are more
or less Handicapped.

Mr.. Walter Anderson of Will
mar viii market the first car
load Of sweet potatoes from
Drew county this year. There
will be about iQe-huqdred bush
els Of assorted Nancy Hall
Sweets. Practically all of these
potatoes Willie from Ms. Ander-
sons farm.
Owing % the absence of prop
err curing facilities in Mon
ticellolNr Anderson will not be
able to set the top market price,
unless he ships Them to another
city to BE cured. Ia this case he
will incur the additional expense
Of unloading and reloading.
1t is matter q deep regret,
that Notwithstanding the loud
and repeated sertions that a
potato warehouse is going TO be
built the season opens without
the existence Of this much talk

ever, that f VII not be very

Tee faculty, consisting Of a
number of teachers whose eff
cheney has already been demon
strated to the satisfaction of
patrons ard pupils of the city
school has been strengthened by
the addition Of several new

Colonel Roosevelt a Great
FavOrite at Free Fair.
Spread AmericaniSm Doctrine
to Immense Crowds.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.. in his
talk at the Peoples pavilion at the
Kansas Free Fair Monday night con-
fined himself solely to sprea ding the
doctrine of the American Legion. He
told stories of Yank heroism overseas
and related anecdotes of the men who
stood guard in the training camps in
America.
The youthful colonel reiterated the
statements made in the interview with
the State journal Monday and at the
Rotary lunch Monday noon. He in
sisted that the American Legion stands
for 100 per cent Americanism and t&at
it has no politics.
The big tent of the Peoples pavilion
was full and standing room a distance
of fifty feet from the big top was at
a premium for half hour before
Roosevelt appeared Monday evening.
And when Teddy. Junior" did arrive
his arrival was heralded to the grand
stand by a great burst of cheering
The meeting in the Peoples pavilion
was presided over by Capt. William P
MacLean, commander of the local post
of the American Legion
