"Bing, bang, boom" and the rattle of fire arms about bed time Monday night, in the "gay north side" sounded like. the war was either beginning or clos ing again and when the smoke was cleared away, the Syrian Kalif Mafouz, who runs a store on North New Orleans Ave, was in the casualty list and taken to the Magnolia Hospital, being shot in the hand and leg
 A. c. Mcclure, the clever Rock Island car inspector, did the shooting and apoligized for poor craftsmanship.
 No trial as yet, pending the of Mafouz, who is still at the hospital.

The Scriptures give us many lessons in thrift according to writer Ill Thrift Magazine. Ezekiel warned the children of Israel that during the siege of Jerusalem they would have to be thrifty. He said: "Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, ana put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof. ."-Ezekiel 4-9. The Bi- ble shows that Ezekiel ordered the children of Israel to eat their meat by weight, and even thus only from time to time

BIG BUSINESS (HAkGESI
Lumber Yard of BrinkIey Car Works & Mfg. Go. Sold Yes
 terday to the Arkmo Co.

There's scarcely a day that doesn't bring it's surprises in Brinkley now.
 The surprise this time was the deal of yesterday whereby the pioneer lumber concern in Eastern Arkansas, the Brinkley Car Works & Mrg. Co.,, sold out their lumber yard and business to the Arkmo Lumber Co.,, a company operating a string of local lumber yards.
 Yesterday morning a repre- sentative of the Arkmo Go. came to Brinkley and made an offer to buy the Car Works Go. yard and business to MT. Emmons, man. ager of the Car Works. MT. En- mons thought favorably of the proposition and submitted it to President Greenlee who imme- diately called the stockholders together and within an hours time the deal was closed and the yard and lumber business of this old pioneer company had passed to another.
 The deal was a quick one and altogether a surprise to every one.
 MT. Benj. Emmons, who for the past 20 years has been the active manager of the Car Works, acted for his company and w. c. Chamberlain for the Arkmo Go.
 The passing of the Car Works from the lumber and building supply business of Brinkley is rather an unpleasant surprise for the old company has served long, faithfully and we'll and has been prominent and mater ially identified with the pro gross and building of Brinkley from it's foundation. In fact the company furnished the material for the second house ever built in Brinkley, the first being a log house. For more than 40 years the company has done the larg- est and most prosperous busi- ness in this section of Eastern Arkansas. For the past 20 years MT. Benj. Emmons has practically been in charge of af- fairs and has made many friends who will regret to see him out of the business. His long years of activity, together with his large land interests, are
The Brinkley argus., 1919-03-28
great work. !"

The Camp Pike postoffice
 building, recently enlarged, was
 destroyed by fire Thursday
 afternoon, together with consid-
 able mail matter. The flames
 are believed to have originated from a stove in the special de-
 livery room, and spread so rap idly that in 45 minutes all that
 in 45 minutes all that remained of the building were the founda- tions and a mass of ashes and charred paper.
 Camp Pike has been designat- ed as the demobilization center for soldiers from ten states. This is interpreted to mean that the camp will eventually be declared a permanent post. No other camp serves more than two states. AS a result of the order received here, there will continue the steady flow of men into the camp for discharge. The states served are Arkansas, Oklahoma, louisiana, Missouri, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kansas, Kentucky, Texas and Illinois. All welfare organizations are prepared to continue to make things lively for the boys during their stay in camp. The Y. M. c. A. is operating ten buildings, with musical or dramatic enter tainments, educational lectures, movies or religious services in each every night. Lyceum en- tertainers are now being booked by the Army "Y" for the enter tainment of soldiers. Tom Cor wine, polpyphonic imitator, was here this week, and wherever he appeared, gloom fled.
 Russelville won it's way into the hearts of men in the base hospital thru the performance in the base hospital "Y" Monday evening by Miss Lucy Clark's quintette of artists, composed of Misses Roberta Owens, Jamie Smith, Elsie Gibson, Louise and lBerynce Smith. The young woman volunteered for this service, and since they have started the work, it is be- lieved that parties from other towns will desire to contribute something to the entertainment of the men in the camp, and will offer to appear here. Playlets are particularly pleasing, espec- tally if they contain plenty of laughs and chorus effect. Any to help keep the soldiers

 We beg to announce that we have sold the lumber yard and builders supply business to the Arkmo Lumber Co.,, strong and worthy company who will continue to serve the trade in a most thorough and satisfac- tory manner. Our many years of business have brought us a deal of satisfaction and pleas ure. The splendid patronage and loyal support given to us by the people of Brinkley and sur rounding territory leaves with us the very kindest of and sin cerest gratitude to one and all and bespeak for our successors, the AfkmO Lumber CO., con- tinuation of this same liberal patronage and kind treatment.
 The Arkmo Co.,, will erect at an early date a modern pattern lumber plant, on East Cypress street, just east of the Fargason Grocery Co.,, and they will be able to meet every want in the building material line in latest, most improved and satisfactory way. You will find their MT. H. E. Fuess (call it Feece) in charge for the present.
