Some of the farmers are complain ing about hunters from the city. The most of them think 1t bad enough for them to kill their quail, which they have fed and protected, but if that was all they killed they could put up with that, but they even kill their chickens and pigs. There is only one way to protect the game and that is to pass law making it the property of the land owner and tenant, and making the penalty for killing it the same as for killing other poultry and stock of the far mer. It will probably be necessary to make the possession of a gun when men are found with 1t on other peo- ple's land prima facie evidence of their guilt.

result of that is that meat is too cheap there to pay a profit. When YOU come to Little Rock with meat to be inspected you have to bring the liver, lights, heart and every bit of it because, if you should not bring it all they would suspicion that the part you ate was diseased. Of course the Little Rock meat inspec- tor does not think the country people would eat diseased meat, but they could throw 1t away If you want to eat any of it you will have to take it back home with you after it is in spected.

pers show he entered the army Au- gust z, 1917, and was discharged April 28, 1919, near Louisville, Ky. He was at the start in the First Di- vision and in the very first of the fighting done by the Americans. One of their men was taken prisoner by the Germans and his arms, legs and cars cut off and his eyes put out and then he was tied to a post and left to suffer torture. For that reason the men of his division would take no prisoners, though ordered to by their officers. They became a great terror to the Germans, who called them the Black Snake division. He was in the front trenches about two months, and on all kinds of details. He said he felt when he entered the army that he would not be killed, and was going to return home, so he had just as soon be in the front trench as anywhere else. There was a bunch of fellows with him who were of the same opinion, and when some weak-kneed fellow had hunch he was going to be killed they were always ready to take his place on the front for twenty or twenty-five francs. Though this bunch was al- ways in the most dangerous part of the fighting not one of them ever got a scratch.

Gravel is being placed on the worst stretches at different points with the idea of making 1t passable this winter. At several places during and after the last rains it became impossible. Where 1 stopped at Jacksonville l met the concrete crew, which came in on the same train I did. They commenced at once putting in the concrete culverts at the Lonoke eoun- ty line. Many of the farmers, who are holding their cotton for a better price, were anxious to get work with them. If they have good weather it will only take them two or three weeks to finish the job.

ALONG THE SWEET HOME PIKE.

ALONG THE SWEET HOME PIKE.
 As lot of my customers did not come in after their fruit trees, l started out over the Sweet Home pike to see some of them. The first place l stopped at, Mrs. A. W. Browns, l learned that Tom Jackson had started home two or three days before from Little Rock, after drawing two hun dred and sixty dollars out of the bank to buy corn and cattle with, was held up and robbed by two ne groes of every dollar he had with him. First they got his pocket book, with only a couple of dollars or 50 in it. One of them asked him where the rest of his money was, and fail ing to gel the resired information, continued searching him until they felt bulk in his inside breast pock- ct and then, instead of putting his hand in the pocket for the money, took his knife and cut through his coat into his pocket, where he found the remaining $258. The robbery took place between the Frazier and Sweet Home pikes, back of the Brown farm. MT. Jackson having gone out on the Frazier pike to attend to some business and was driving towards the Sweet Home pike when he overlook two negroes, who were walking slow. One of them looked under his wagon and said, Say, boss, did you know your coupling pin had come out?" He got out of the wagon at once and when he looked up one of the ne groes had his gun on him and he was helpless. This would make a good excuse for Mir. Jackson, but he did not use 1t to avoid taking his trees.
 Mrs. Brown informed me that one of their city customers had had his store robbed about the same time, and she felt like the highwayman business was getting close to her, as the first robbery had taken place close to their farm These robberies only emphasize what said last week about keeping your money in bank and checking it out. As the winter advances and times become harder robberies will probably increase.
 The U. s. District Attorney has re- ceived instructions to prosecute every man wearing a soldiers uniform or any part thereof, who has no right to wear it. If you have an overcoat or any other part of a uniform you wish to wear, first cut off the buttons and then dye the coat another color. This applies to an ex-soldier the same as to any other civilian. All former soldiers are requested to tell their comrades about this order, as Judge Wooten does not desire to prosecute any one on this charge.

Ispent the night with the Colburns and was much interested in their con versation, especially that of Wm. Colburn, whose conversation about his experiences in France and Ger many were more interesting than of most soldiers. We had rabbit for supper and l was pleased to see that they are ripe. Possums are also ripe and because of the fine crop of per simmons are better than usual, but l do not eat them.

J. L. Colburn, who lives at Box 83a, R. F. D. No. 4, told me he took a copy of the Pulaskian containing a writeup of my visit to his section last summer, to the Riddle shops with him and nearly every man in the shops got enthused about moving out there, but the trouble was though they had been drawing good wages, they had spent their money as fast as they received it and were not able to go. He saved his money and made his improvements at nights and on holidays, with the help of his son and son-in-law, and now they have no fear of losing their jobs. They have not completed their improve ments, however, because, anticipating the time they would lose their jobs, they kept right on at work. About two weeks before his son-in-law lost his job and his son was to lose his the next day. As he was an old timer he was in hopes of holding his position, but 100 men out of a bunch of l40 in his gang have lost their places.

While walking along the Sweet Home pike got out to the far edge of it to let a wagon pass, when an auto, which could not hear because of the noise made by the wagon, al- most hit me. At the same time one of the auto party holIered to me to get off the road. That is the idea of certain class of autoists anyway. They think that no one but them selves have any right on the roads.
