The next gin was that of the E. NJ. Faver Gin Company. Around this gin was where I thought if there was any good cotton I would find it. It was about the best I had seen, running from a half to bale to the acre. I spent the night away out in the woods with G. L. Duncan Leaving Fayer's gin I went to the end of the rock pike. which is the end of Pulas- Ri and the commencement of Jeffer- son county going east along tho line for about two miles. I met Mrs. Waters children picking cotton and Marion took the Pulaskian for year and then each of the girls look ed into my crystal and selected a khaki clad boy for husband. 4 little further on I met very bright. Intelligent looking young man, with manners equal to young Chester field so I concluded he was one of the boys who had been across, and sure enough he was Lem Duncan, who had brought back a whole lot Of French polish with him.

l got on the wrong road and when 1 found out where I was was closer to R. J. Reynolds, late of the Big Maumelle, than anyone else I knew so l went to his place. He has a good crop of cotton beyond Plum Bayou which will make about three quarters of bale to the acre. He will move next year to within six miles of Pine Bluff, where he will take charge of
 Che store on big plantation. He can send the children to private school on the place, or he will be fur nished an auto to take them to Pine Bluff.
 l had q long long walk back into Pulaski. I would walk a long ways LID bayou to get a bridge and when l would get across I would walk back OH the other side. Finally 1 got to Webb's store only to find It was in Jefferson instead of Pulaski county At last I got to Webb's store in Pu- laski.. At that point Plum Bayou ls like river and Jack Webb makes his living fishing for the markets. He catches lots of fish. Other men on the Bayou do the same and have doIe it for long time and it is one of the best paying business have because fish are plentiful. His brother owns 1,420 acres of fine bottom land here. l have only heard of one piece of land selling down here. It was only partly cleared and brought $100 an acre. Higher up the river improvel land sold for $50 an acre, but not much of it is for sale at any price.
