si4EPiFF RAIDS STILLS

Wild cat stills in Monroe county. Would you have thought it? Well, it's true. Sheriff T. T. Malone raided two down near Indian Bay last Friday night. He caught them in the act making the real article-a and, while the wild cat' was in the making the operatives were in a game of poker. The Sheriff got the outfits and about 10 gallons of booze. The two wild cat ters," both negroes, are in jail at Clarendon.

system of real roads. I'd a thousand times rather be taking my vacation in the Sunshine Special, seeing the country and people of my own section, on my accustomed cross country trips, if this were but possible. The impossible roads prevent this now, but Pm hoping that some day soon the good people, living on the farms in the Brink ley, Holly Grove, Clarendon, Blackton, Hunter and Wheatley territory, will wake up just as the farmers in other states are doing and will demand the same priviledges, benefits and pecu- niary advantages that are en- joyed by the big money lenders, capitalists and corporation share holders who live in the towns and who fight against roads for the country people.
 Home soon,

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SO-
 GETTY NOTICE.

The Christian Endeavor SO- ciety, of the Presbyterian church, held it's regular weekly prayer-meeting Sunday last. We were glad to see so many of the Endeavorers out.
 Our president was able to be at this meeting, and we feel things are going to be success.
 This was supposed to have been "sealed-orders" meeting, but on account of business that had to be transacted, and also on account of the shortness of time because of the Y. M. c. A. meeting at the school house the program which had been prepared, had to be set aside until future time.
 As the chairman of the prayer-meeting committee was unable to be president the so- ciety authorized the president to appoint leaders for the four remaining meetings this month and hoping by that time that the chairman of that committee will be able to reassume her duties. The leaders are as follows March 9, Mrs. Cole; March 16, Miss Louise Overholt; March 23, Miss Louise Coln; and March 30, Herman Travis.
 Our pledge cards were pre- scented at this meeting, and as result twelve for Active mem bers, and one for Associate member were signed. A number of affiliated members were en- rolled.
 We have a nice time at these meetings, and all are invited to attend.

IN MAYORS COURT

We are told that "the way of the transgressor is hard" In Mayor Greenlee's court Monday morning two female transgres- sors of the law had this very forcibly brought to attention. The first one up, Blanch James, was charged with having a pistol and attempting to puncture the hide of Jim Hudson the attempts being accompanied by the usual line of profanity. As is usual in trials of this nature several witnesses were present with a scrambled lot of testimony pro and con, which, when sifted out was such as to cause Blanche to draw a fine of $50 with the trimmings added.
 Next came Willie Williams, charged with vagrancy. Ac- cording to Willie's testimony she hailed from Cotton Plant recently; she hasn't been do- ing anything since coming here, and, because she hadn't she was assessed q fine of $2 and the costs.

SHERIFF CAPTURED BOOZE

Sheriff T. T. Malone arrested 2 white men here last Saturday, who said they were on their way to Cotton Plant, and with them were two suit cases of "boozer- inc" which they are said to have brought with them from St. Louis
 They were carried before Esquire McGill at Clarendon, and each made bond in the sum of $250. Their preliminary hearings will come up before Esquire McGill at Clarendon, on March 12.

MISSIONARY SOCIAL

The Womans Missionary So- ciety of the First Baptist church was entertained in the beautiful home of Mrs. F. M. Trotter, on Monday afternoon, March 3rd.
 A peanut contest, led by Mrs. Crabb, was very amusing (and very trying on the nervous system.)
 Much amusement was afford ed by the guessing in a musical contest. Mrs. Roswell Davis was the lucky winner of the prize, a lovely collar and cuff set.
 A Bible contest caused many thoughtful guesses. Mrs. Presley Pipkin was awarded the prize, a beautiful handkerchief.
 Adding to the enjoyment of the afternoon Miss Willie Nance favored the ladies with vocal solo.
 There were 23 present to en- joy the hospitality of the hostess who with the assistance of Mrs. Crabb and others, served a de- licious salad course. All members of the society and others that are interested in the work are cordially invited to be present next Monday after noon at 2;30, at Baptist church.

ARGUS MANS SECOND LET.

Continued From Page D
 LATER

Started to write Friday night but closed down to go some where. It is go, go, go, all the time here. Saturday a clever bunch of people chartered a launch and went for 8 15 mile cruise across the bay putting in for short visit at Shell Bluff and there visiting the Southern Farms Co.,, plant. They have 30,000 acres and are planning to raise Irish potatoes only, along with other truck, oranges, etc. There I saw among other strange things an artesian aflowing) white sulphur we'll as strong as the Heber Springs water. Altogether strange to me in this wonderful country. Com ing back the lake was quite choppy and the waves were so high that our little vessel rolled and pitched so as to bring sev- eral cases of sea sickness among the party. Neither of the Brink ley passengers, however, suffer- ed from sea sickness.
 I imagine I can hear some reader of the Argus asking, "WeIl, what do you think of Florida ?" How is Florida, com pared with Arkansas?" and questions of that kind.
 Now for these, I'd say that l never came to Florida expecting it to be equal to Arkansas. came here to get away from the grind of work that has kept me tied down in the Argus office for the past many months. Just wanted to change the grind for a little while. A few years ago wife and I went to California expecting to find our ideal cline and country but after many weeks spent in going thro' California, up thro' the San -poaquine valley, to north border and thence back down the coast line thro' Southern California entirely to the Mexican border When we had finished failed to find anything that approached Arkansas in point of real advan- tage. l went back to Brinkley after jouTneying thro' 13 states on that trip, and wrote in the Argus of how thoroughly con- yinced 1 was that Arkansas was a greater state than California far more advantages, and g greater future, if our own peo- pie could but be made to realize this to that extent that they would wake up, act, and let the outside world know us.
 Now for Florida-of course the country is most interesting and naturally must be a few de grees warmer than even Sunny Arkansas but want to tell you who may come to Florida ex- pecting to find a perfect tropica cline, you will be disappointed We have had more different kinds of climate since we reach ed here Thursday night last than I ever saw rung up in any four days in Arkansas in my life. First night twas so colo that l had to don my heavy winter rigging. Next day ant night it was real hot and sultry regular summer, then this was followed by a severe rain anc electrical storm.

it became cold again and to-day it is hot again and about to have another rain storm, so there you are for that "d-e-l-i-ah-t-f-u-l Florida" you read of. Pm appreciative already of the decision of our towns lady, Mrs. Geo. P. Reid, who two winters trials to enjoy Florida climate gave it up and said, Give me Br.inkley weather instead of Florida any winter" !"
 This afternoon it was my priv Hedge to go thro' the largest packing house in this section and while seeing the sights met a young Arkansan who was head grader. He told me that he was thrro' with Florida and was going back to Arkansas to stay. I spent some time watching the packers. Saw one man, who is said to be the champion packer in Florida. He put up 150 boxes of oranges to-day and received 7 cents per box for his work. The pickers in the orchard get 10 cents a box for gathering and I watched them strip a mammoth orchard and then saw the fruit sorted, sized and pack ed, labled and then loaded aboard steamer for shipment to New York. They load here and then transport out the Lake and up St. Johns River and reload for ocean steamer at Jackson vile.
 Have asked the price of orange groves. In as much as this is the greatest season ever known in Florida the lands are not for sale except at high prices. A bearing grove at from $500 to $1,000 per acre. They have about 65 trees to acre and in some instances 1 have heard of a single tree bringing 12 boxes of fruit. With fruit at $4 per box on the tree, you can readily figure what you might be able to do if you had 65 trees on an acre bearing as heavily as this particular instance, but don't think that they all bear that way. Three and four boxes are usually good yields, and many of the trees in the orchard failed to yield even a box, so there you are.
 When a freeze comes, which it sometimes does, it is all over with the orange grower. He hasn't anything left but the ground and must then start over from the bottom and wait from } to ' years to grow trees so you see it is indeed dangerous plunging, this orange growing
 We are expecting to go from here over on the East Coast in a few days and will probably tel you in my next letter of happen ings and points of interest along the Atlantic seaboard. We are counting on reaching Saint Augustine in time to attend the great Billy Sunday meeting thai is scheduled to begin there soon Just in closing I'd say to you who are frequently frettlns about the climate and country in Arkansas, you'd best stick around right where you are i you are bookings for something Iidealistic, for as have frequent ly said, I believe we have righ' there in Sunny Arkansas, tht greatest climate on earth, every thing considered.
