NEW STORE OPENS

The Industrial Transportation Coni- pany store No. 142 was opened to the public Saturday with full and com plete stock of groceries meats and feeds of all kinds Tie store is under the management of C. c. Saunders, who is well known to the people of Carlisle and vicinity. Miss Carrie Koch is the cashier at the new store and MT. Walter Kittler has charge of the meat cutting department. The company handle meats packed by their own concern in their packing house at Little Rock.
 MT. Saunders tells us that the store did as good business as was expected on the opening day on account of the many delays that were encountered in getting ready for business.

THE CITY ELECTION

At the Carlisle city election which was held Tuesday the following off cers were elected for the ensuing year:
 Mayor, Dr. E. F. Harrison; Record CT, C. s. Long; Aldermen, L. B. Krsh- ka, H. l. Buechley, Dr. Fred Muzzy, Dr. E. A. Callahan and Jno. D. Martin, all of whom are among our most prom inent and wide-awake citizens.
 The question of the annexation of several outlying additions was voted upon and carried almost unanimously, there being only two votes cast against the proposition.
 The judges of election were J. F. Gillespie, J. R. Urton and J. R. Hash and the clerks were W. H. Nichols and J. L. Woosley.
 The election passed off quietly and everybody seemed perfectly satisfied that the choice of the voters in the se- lection of officers to run the affairs of the city for the next year could not have been improved upon, as all rhe men elected are property holders and have the best interests of the town at heart.

 LOOK FOR HIM

Look for boy wearing an old straw hat, through which peeps tuft of wet hair from hole in the crown. He will be wearing two piece suit, pants and shirt. held together by single gaIlus, a piece of shoe string and horseshoe nail. Bare legs scratched and bleed- ing, and rather dirty. Limping from painful stone bruise. You will find upon strict examination, piece of blue yarn around two toes that have an aggravated attack of ground itch,' ; and one big toe entirely wrapped in a dirty rag showing blood stains. Over his shoulder he carries a bamboo fish ing pole and in his right hand a can of worms and string of seven yell low-bellies and one sun-fsh. The chances are that he is ravenously hun gry. Ask him.
 It may be several weeks before you find this boy-but you'll see him. And when you do, you can truly say: "The Spring is here"

TT COULD BE WORSE q

Be of good cheer. The winter has almost worn itself away and the prom ise of Spring is soon to be realized. In this neck of the woods the flowers will be hailed with genuine delight for it has been a long and weary winter. The glad sunshine and warmer weath CT of spring will give us freedom from our enforced imprisonment. The high cost of living, especially in the mat ters of food and clothing, have made sad inroads on the family purse and we will all be glad to get little relief from the expense of fuel and some help from the family gardens. Car lisle has pulled through the winter in pretty good shape. We have paid the usual February toll in disease and death and some homes have been heav- fly stricken, but on the whole our lot has been less severe than that of many communities. With the coming of spring there will come new hopes and ambitions The outlook for trade in Carlisle is most encouraging. There is unusual activity among the business men and we know that our merchants are planning aggressive campaigns.
 Prosperity continues on the farms, and with the farms prosperous the community will thrive.
 There are many things the old town needs and should have. We all real ize this and know that Carlisle Is far from what she could and should be. But, nevertheless we are to be congrat uated on the outlook for the coming spring and summer. We will not suf- fer from the unrest of the city. We are not touched with socialism or rad icalism. Our people will be busy no matter how much a presidential cleo tion and an inflated currency may trouble the centers of population. So Carlisle merchants may approach the spring season with confidence. The storm may come, as many predict 1t will, but it will blow right over our little old town, and the industrious and thrifty citizens of this town will sleep O nights and eat their straw berry shortcake while the restless set mourn the loss of their cocktails and go on a falling market. Oh, hum. It's better not to fly too high.

PURCHASE 1000 BAGS

The Arkansas State Rice Milling Company purchased 1000 bags of the last offerings of the Carlisle-Lonoke district office of the Southern Rice Growers Association the first of the week for which they paid about an average of S2.00 per bushel involving a deal of about $56,O00.OO which goes to farmers in the vicinity of Carlisle.
 Some of this rice sold as low as S1.00 per bushel while some brought S2.78. This was due to the damaged condition of same on account of the bad weather at threshing time and the manner of handling after it was threshed.
 The above amount of rice will fur nish about a two-weekS run for the mill and the manager, MT. E. L. Crandall tells us that he will start up next week and make the run.
 There were about 25,000 bags of fered in the sale, 1000 going to Stutt- gart and 1000 to the mill here was about all that were taken, some of the growers desiring to hold on for a while in the hopes of yet getting higher price.
 When this 250OO bags are sold it will about clean up the 1919 crop, with the exception of some seed rice that will still be left in the hands of the growers, but which will no doubt find a ready market before sowing time is over.
