Ashdown Compress and Warehouse
 Now Is Practically an Assured Thing

In addition to this it is expected that other buying firms will have fe- families to the town and making this one of the cotton centers in the state.
 Likes AshdOwn's Location.
 Several things have led to the selec- ton of Ashdown as a compress and cotton buying center, one the excellent ra 1foad facilities, and another the fact thatsge are located in a section where the lsJming lands are strong enough to produce a high grade cotton. MT. Newburger says that. the RoWden cot ton is his favorite among the better grades, and that the shorter grades are getting harder to sell to the spin ner every year. He believes that our lands will produce a sixteenth better staple than the average land with the same cotton. In the belt expected to help feed. the compress is the famous Walnut hyou black lands. the strong Red River lands, the strong uplands covering the entire county, the black lands of Sevier county and the great staple producing soil that lies within the territory of Mineral Springs All these sections will be benefited to a great degree by the location of the compress. Foreman bankers, business men and farmers were present at the II eeting and seemed no less interested than did the local people.
 Officers Elected.
 The temporary officers for the pur- pose of organization are: A. Gold smith, president; H. l.. Poland, vice president; R. NJ. Bone, secretary and treasurer.

 The Tragedy.

Lonoke, Feb. 19.-The two small sons of Harrison Priest, one six years cid and the other eight, were roasted alive at D. m. today in a burning straw stack, 12 miles south of Lonoke, while friends and neighbors stood by hearing their shrieks of agony, but p,'werless to save them. The mother of the boys had to be restrained by force from leaping into the flames

 Surrounded by the roaring flames they tried frantically to break through and neighbors tried in vain to rescue them, Their efforts to escape were witnessed by many mortified specta- tors attracted to the blaze, who could also hear their shrieks of agony and pain.
 Harrison Priest, father of the boys, was at work as a clerk in the store, belonging to George Krickerberger of Little Rock, on the Turner plantation. not far from the tragedy,

After the meeting in AshdoWn We'd nesday afternoon with Joe NeWburger, of Memphis, Tenn, who is president of a long chain of cotton congresses in the South, and his general manager, Taylor, and assistant manager, Mat theWs, it is now practically sure that a compress will be built at AshdoWn ready for the 1920 cotton season. The Ashdpwn committee and the compress officials drew up, and agreed on a con tract, which was signed. The only thing upon which the location of the compress now hangs is that the city build an extension of d six inch main ment with the Frisco road for floating privileges and switch track to the property. It is not anticipated that there will be serious trouble with any of the roads entering the city in ar ranging these privileges.
 The company is to be known as the ASHuOWn WdTenOuSo ana compress Company, It will be incorporated with an authorized capital of S15000 with a paid up capital of $120,000.

The local stock holders will elect the officers of the company. The Newburger people con- tract to furnish a press, boilers, and all freight and installation expenses at $43,000.
