Crossett, of the Road Improve
ment District No. 3 of Wood
ruff county, met in Little Rock
Monday, August IL, for the
purpose of opening bids for

was considerable above the en-
gineer's estimate of $147,236.,

Mr.. McCrory's bid too high,
declined to award the contract
to him.
Whereupon Mr.. McCrory
submitted a counter PROPOSE
ton to build the road for a
fixed fee and the. commission
ers thinking this proposition
to the best interest of the road
district, decided to award Mr..
McCrory the contract for the
building of the road for a fix
ed fee, which fee is the same
whether the road cost the dis
trict $4,000 or $150,0O0.
This road will be approximate
ly seventeen miles long, ex-
tending nine miles east, two
miles north, two miles south,
and four miles west of NEGRO

Dr.. C. P. Harris of McCrory
who recently graduated with
highest honors from the dental
department of the University

practice his profession in his
old home town and has already
opened his office in the rooms
over Dixon's Grocery, in the
I. c. Bull building which we're

himself for his work in the
way Of equipment by having
purchased for his office the
very latest and most modern

struments that money can buy.
His office is as we'll equip
ped as any in Little Rock or
Memphis and we are sure that
he can do his work just as well
as the most efficient dentists
to be found in either city. A
portion of the equipment con-
sists of the latest make dental
chair which is encircled by a
large rubber mat, also an ell
aborate electric light fixture
which is adjustable to any
height or position and a ma
hogany cabinet for his instru-

porcelain drawer bottoms with
round corners and a marble
base. He also has in his office
an instrument sterillzer which
protects his patrons from be-
coming infected with any dis
ease of any other person upon
whom they may have been
used. He invites his many
friends and the public to call
and see him when needing any
thing in the dental line.
We are glad to have him
open his office in our growing
little city and the people OF
McCrory can boast of having
not only the best dental office
in the county, but as good as
can be found anywhere in the
state.

p,dNEss WAS NEVER I BETTER IN THE STATE
Prs7scted Slump Has Net Materialized, But Quite the Contrary is True
 fin Arkansas.
(Rv Clio Harper)

Little Rock July 25.-(SpeciaD = Here it is the last of July, and the ac- customed "summer slump" in business has not yet come upon us
 Whats the answer?
 It ;s that business conditions were never so bright in Arkansas as they are today
 There are people who thought the end of the war would bring about a condition of business stagnation.
 It has been just the contrary.
 Arkansas was prosperous for two years despite the war
 Now Arkansas is prosperous simply because there are the resources and the commercial and industrial condi- tons that justify it.
 There is no place left in our state program for the knocker and the pes simist for the booster and the optim- ist are in the saddle and going strong
 Every line of business is feeling the effects of it, and there is no cloud on the horizon.
 There is more money in the state than ever before-ask any body you meet how much he has laid by in Liberty bonds, and War Savings Stamps and you will be surprised.
 There is a reserve in the bands of thrifty citizens they have never had before and for the most part it is be- ing used and conserved judiciously.
 There is more constructive work going on in the state now than the state has ever known.
 Not the least in the constructive prOgram-probably the largest single item in it-is the construction of mod cru highways, upon which millions are being expended.
 It is not an academic conclusion that these thousands of miles of hardsur- face roads will produce even great CT prosperity, since it will reduce the energy necessary for the movement of products to market.
 Projects are being fostered that will cover the state with network of highways. and what is more important, provision is made for their mainten- ance after they are built.
 Great drainage projects and levee improvements are being planned in many places.
 Government engineers are working on the survey of the St. Francis river basin, which was provided for by Act of Congress several years ago, and which was temporarily side-tracked by the war.
 When this is completed and their report made. Congress is expected to enact the necessary legislation to carry out the projects.
 It will mean the reclamation of mil lions of fertile acres as rich as the valley of the Nile.

 Second in importance to the animal act is the much -hearalded "AmaZa' where vaudeville is presented includ- ing, of course, the ever present Egyp- tian dancer.

 Ten In One" is the sideshow offer ing where the usual freaks are to be found, and some that are not usual. About the grounds are the ever pop ular merry go-round. the Ferris wheel and the newer riding devices
 The carnival is an interesting place and there is a pleasing lack of vulgar ity so often accompanying that sort of entertainment. The local. Woodmen are sparing no effort to present an at tractive carnival and are succeeding. It will remain for the balance of the week.
