HOME AND IN GODS COUNTRY.
Thus Feels K. Golf on Return From
 a Louisiana Trip.

Mir. and Mrs. K. Golf returned to Mena last Thursday from an auto trip to New Orleans in company of Mir. and Mrs. Chas. Golf of DeQueen, the trip having been made to attend the sessions of the National Wholesale Grocers' Association, which had been held in the Crescent City. They made the trip from DeQueen in an auto, en- countering all sorts of roads, but be- ing fortunate in escaping the rains, except one gulf storm which was so fierce that the water blown into the radiator killed the engine. On the last day of the return trip they left the car at Ashdown, coming on home by train. They had travelled from Many, La., distance of 1855 miles, and after having several blowouts, were tired and worn out.
 Taken altogether, Mir. Golf reports the trip was an enjoyable one, tho they became tired of the monotony of passing day after day thru rice and cane fields, along levees and thru swamps, so that when on the return trip they got into the pine woods and the hills they felt they were getting back home and into Gods country. So strongly does Mir. Golf feel that way that he states he would not give a block of ground in Mena for all of Louisiana that he saw.
