MRS. J. Y. ERWIN
PASSED AWAY ON
DECEMBER , AT 4 p. NJ.

At her home on North Main
Street Wednesday afternoon at
four o'clock, Mrs. J. Y. Erwin
quietly breathed her last, death
coming as result of pneu-
mOnia.
Mrs. Erwin, who was ii
years of age was born in Amelia,
Va, but has been resident of
this state since 1860 when her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John A.
Jeter moved to Monticello. In
1874 she was married TO Mr.. J..
Y. Erwin, who was one of the
most successful planters of
Southeast Arkansas. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Erwin numbered their
friends by scores and many were
the guests who at their country
home from time to time enjoy
ed their gracious hospitality.
Shortly before Mr. Erwin's
death, which occurred about
fourteen years ago, they erect
ed in Monticello one of the most
beautiful homes of the city.
For the last thirteen years
Mrs. Erwin had been an invalid
suffering intensely from rheum-
atism. Although she had re-
ceived treatment from some of
the greatest specialists of the
country she was unable to get
anything other than temporary
relief. The Christian fortitude
with which she bore her suffer-
ing was an inspiration to those
who visited her sickroom. Low
ing daughters and numerous
friends proved their devotion
by years Of faithful ministry.
Mrs. Erwin is survived by
two sisters, Mrs. Willie Lambert
and Mrs. Lucy Mullins, both of
this city and two brothers A.
w. Jeter, of Wilmar. w. P. Jeter
of this city, and three daughters,
Miss BERTHE Erwin and Mrs. w.
j. Pierce Of this city and Mrs.
Frank Bowden of Dermott.
A host of sorrCwing friends
extend to the bereaved relatives
their sincere sympathy in this
their hour of triol

l.. 7. ALLEN DEAD.

The many friends and rel
atiVes Of Mr.. L. T. Allen were
shocked to learn last Tuesday
morning that he had suddenly
grown worse after a brief illness
Of less than a week and there
was no hope of his recovery.
The end came about eleven that
morning before it was generally
known that he was seriously i'll.
Mr.. Alien, who was fifty-eight
years of age was we'll known in
Monticello having lived in this
vicinity all his life. He was the
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A.
Allen of the Rose Hill neighbor-
hood. Before moving to Mon
ticello Mr.. Allen, was engaging
in farming. For some time past
he has bee a trusted employee
Of the Drew Oil Mill.
He was a devoted father a
kind and affectionate husband.
He is survived by his wife and
six children, two daughters,
Misses Linnie and Mary, and
four sons, Bishop, James w
Thomas Lee and Wise Jay.
lnterment took place Wednes-
day afternoo at three o'clock at
the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.
Services were conducted by Rev.
G. X. Rogers assisted by Rev.
w. T. West.
The heartbroken wife and
the grief stricken children have
the sympathy of the entire town
in their great loss.

COL. JOE S. HARRIS
APPOINTED Adult.
ANT GENERAL
Governor Pays High Tribute To
The Efficiency OF Gen. Har-
RS.

The many friends of Col. Joe
5. Harris learn with pride and
satisfaction of his appointment
as Adjutant General for Ark
ansas. Gen Harris takes the
office made Vacant by the
resignation of Lloyd Eng
land, who has been adiutant
general since 1918. General
England, who is graduate of
West Point and soldier with a
most enViable record for BRAY
cry, was recognized during the
var as one OF the ablest adult
ant generals in the county
and under his efficient leader
ship the Arkansas National
Guard made a fine showing.
friends OF General Harris are
confident that no better selec-
ton for a successor to General
England could have been made
lis marked ability had SO drawn
the attention of the military
men of the state that his APP
polntment was assured as soon
as the resignation of General
England was accepted.
oe quote below the tribute
paid our felloW-townsman by
Governor Brough in making the
appointments:
II was upon General Eng
lands recommendation that
appointed Colonel Harris as his
successor. Colonel Harris is a
graduate of the University of
Arkansas and of the United
States Naval Academy. He was
commissioned a lieutenant col
onel on the recommendation of
General England in 1917, was
sent across with the 18th Div
ision. He Won his eagle over
seas. Colonel Harris is 80 years
old, a lawyer by profession, and
saw four years service in the
regular army. 1t is generally
conceded that he is one of the
most efficient army officers in
the United States"

BELLFIELD WELLS DIED
AT NEW YORK.

The sad news Of the death of
Mr.. Bellfeld Wells was received
with sorrow in this city last
week. Mr.. r. D. Wells had been
called to New York about two
weeks ago by his sons serious
illness. The first report upon
Mr.. Wells arrival were rather
encouraging but the rally proved
to be only temporary. Growing
rapidly worse the young man
died Friday morning, November
2Sth.
The deceased was twenty-five
years of age. He was born and
reared in this city. When about
eighteen years of age he left
Monticello for st. Louis where
he was employed for two years
with the Fergurson-McKinney
Company. Receiving better
position at Americas metropolis
he went to New York in 1912.
Here he remained until ne enter
ed the army. Because Of his
knowledge of New York young
Mr.. Wells together with num-
Der of New York boys were kept
at Camp Dix with the Motor
Transportation Corps. Shortly
before receiving his discharge
Mr.. Wells received a slight in
jury to finger. The wound
was not considered serious until
blood-poisoning set in, resulting
in death three weeks later.
The remains We're aecGmpani-
ed home by the young wife and
father, reaching here Monday
afternoon. Intermont took place
at the Oakland Cemetery Tues
day afternoon, Rev. G. y. Wood
of Lake Village officiating. The
local post of the American Leg
ion turned out to pay a final
tribute to a departed conrad in
arms. To the wife, father
sisters and brothers the SYM
pathy of the entire community
will be extended.

PROPOSED ELAN FOR
EXTENDING ARKANSAS
LOUISIANA & MIDLAND
Another Chance To Secure The
Long Talked Of North And
South Railroad.

The Monroe Chamber of Com
merce last Monday night took
up the matter of reorganization
of the Arkansas, Louisiana Mid
land railroad. About sixty
Monroe business men offered
their fullest support. 1t is plan
ned to buy the present A. & l..
NJ. which is being offered for
$500, 900, extending it in either
direction, on the north as far as
St. Louis and south to New
Orleans.
While there has been an
unlimited amount of talk about
making this through line,
very little has been done in that
direction. We feel, however.
that it really will amount to
something this time. If the
citizens of Monroe are willing
to take the lead as they are do
ing, surely Monticello and the
various other towns affected
will fall in line and make it a go.
1t is more a time for action than
talk. Too much time has been
spent already in telling of what
we would like and of what we
are going to do. LET'S GET
BUSY AND DO SOMETHING
NOW.

PIGS UNDOUBTEDLY
CAUSED THE WAR
SAYS COUNT SEILERN.

Pigs-just ordinary barn
yard pigs-brcaght on the
world war. This is the latest
contribution from the royal
houses Of the Central Empires
submitted to history as the
cause of the conflict. It is put
forth seriously by no less a
parsonage than Count Carl
Seilern, late confidential coun-
sellor to Emperor Charles in
Vienna.
In a statement to member
of the convoy bringing Ameri-
can Red Cross relief to Bud
apest, the Count explained how
)lain, ordinary porkers-the kind
from which the packers extract
everywhere but the sQleal-
were the cause of the world cat
aclysm.
Fifteen years before the
war" said Count Seilern. Serbia
was shipping great numbers of
pigs into Hungry, successfully
competing with the Hungarian
farmer and cutting into his in
come. The Hungarians protest
ed but the border was left open.
Finally needing the pleas of its
people, the Austro-Hungarian
Government, on the pretext that
all Serbian pigs were diseased,
placed an embargo on them.
"Up to that time the two
government had more or less of
"a friendly understanding. After
this both sides became irritated
and practlsed every method OF
hampering each other in interna-
tional trade. Political leaders
in Serbia seized upon the big in
cident. Austro-Hungarian dip
lomats took up the question.
misunderstanding arose over it.
The embargo was manipulated
until the pig incident supplant-
ed many other big political
questions. When it grew too
old for political propaganda,
other questions were out of it,
and thus the world war was
brought on.
Eyes, there is no doubt, pigs
caused the war. -

HANDLE FACTORY LAT
EST PROSPECTIVE IN.
DuSTRY FOR THIS CITY
Representative of international
Handle Co. Pleased With Mon
tieello.

Mr.. c. B. Bradburn, represent
ing the international Handle Co.
of Fort Madison, Iowa. was in
Monticello this week looking
for a manufacturing site. Mr..
Bradburn, whose home is at
Jonesboro, seems greatly pleased
with this part of the State and
Is inclined to believe that his
company will put up a plant
here. The mill will. at first, be
comparatively small, employing
about fifty men. Beside ak
handles the plant would manu-
facture wagon, buggy and aut-
omobile spokes, singletrees and
neck yokes.
The international Handle Co.
Is large concern. They have
a number of plants over the
country. One splendid recon-
mendation for them is the fact
that even during this period of
unrest they have experienced no
labor troubles. Mr.. Bradburn
stated that the reason for this
was due to the fact that they
were very careful in the selec-
ton OF their employees (use no
foreigners) and they treat their
men with consideration.
Mr.. Brandburn who is a
Kentuckian by birth but an Ark
ansasian by adoption and is loud
in his praise of this state. He
has great faith in her future.
He says that it is but a question
of time until men will cease
paying three, four, and five
hundred dollars an acre for land
when they can buy land just as
good here for ten, fifteen and
twenty-five dollars per acre.

The ingenious machines used
by the Census Bureau to count
sort and tabulate the inror.na-
ton gathered by the census
enumerators are the product of
the Bureaus own laboratory.
The sorting machines will take
care of 800 cards per minute,
the counting machine can do 500
cards a minute and the tabu-
late is capable of handling 400
cards each minute.
Every census has disclosed the
fact there are more men in the
