DAIRYyILLE DOTS

Mr. Editor:- You looked at us pret- ty hard the other day when you asked us what was the matter last week so we kept out of town until something should actually happen. We don't like to stand on the street corners very long to inspect the latest styles in la dies dresses, for they seem to be get ting shorter at the bottom and top both, and it just brings up memories of by gone days when we wanted to get married and had the girl picked out.
 Several years ago, more or jess, marriage insurance companies" were all the rage--like the recent 'oii com panies" and salaries in town were rather more limited than at present. So, confdentially we struck a nice old gentleman of our acquaintance that was in the business and told him of our plans. "Got the very thing you want" he said. "Got two good compa- nies that will come right to your re- lief with a thousand or two apiece after your wedding. One is doing 8 fine business in Little Rock and the other in Chicago" am a fellow of rather quick action and managed to raise the fees before sun down. The next step was to notify my girl and of course she was agreeable" and preparations for ceremony immedi- ately started which came off in due time with much joy and happiness. For awhile everything looked bright for the future and we built several air castles but somehow the spot cash was rather slow in showing up and we pro- ceeded to 'get after" our friend, the agent and he 'got after" the insurance people. In due course of time check for S2.50 came from the Chicago Co.,, but nothing from the Little Rock Co. yet. The only satisfactory excuse our good old friend could offer was "rath- CT unreliable" and so we are bound to classify the "oil companies" in the same category. Some of our good

CONTROL MEASURES FOR HOG
 NANCE EXPLAINED

A herd of hogs near Lonoke was found to be infested with mango to such an extent that number of the animals had died when Dr. J. Fl, Bux of the U. s. Bureau of Animal Indus try visited the farm last week. Dr. Bux says that the disease is due to d small parasite that lives in the lirt and filth around hog premises and which affect the skin tissues immedi- ately underlying the skin.
 Dr. Bux advised the following treatment for this herd. The hogs were to be moved to clean ground and will not be allowed the run of the former hog lots and houses until all the rubbish and manure has been re- moved and all places not exposed to sunlight have been disinfected with strong cresol solution. Furthermore, the infected hogs will be dipped ire quently until relieved. Farmers who want further information should com municate with Dr. Bux at Little Rock, care of the old State House.

friends about Carlisle, and DairyvilIe also, are not saying much for publica- tion, but as We grow weaker in purse we have 2 good opportunity to grow wiser.
 Mr. Editor, you seem to have the impression -stnat we fellows out here are just getting rich fast, and have plenty Of money. The fact is, times are getting so hard among the dairy farmers that we have to take the strings of our grain sacks to use for shoe strings and suspenders are so ex- pensive we must cut a new pair in two and wear only one to work in and keep the other for Sunday.
 Profiteering is all the go now. The other day We lost our pocket book in town containing seventy five cents, all the money we had. Would have ad- vertised for 1t in your paper but that would cost us dollar, so rather than be in ''debt" are trying to keep brave over our great misfortune

Clean Up YourPremises

The season of the year is at hand to make a general cleanup of the town for the summer in order that we may regulate the pesAy mosquito. We should have q clean np week In- stead of clean up day as has been done in the past. All tin cans and other rubbish should be cleaned up and the ditches opened for the drain ace. of the town before the hot sea- son sets in. We had clean up day last year that proved to be of much benefit in the way of exterminating the mosquito, but the work cannot be done right in one day, and plenty of time should be taken to make com plete job of it.

Carlisle was full of people again Saturday and our merchants were kept busy most all day waiting on them. All we need to make Carlisle one of the best trading centers in the state is some good roads leading into town, and we hope to have them be- fore another winter. Everything is in readiness to build the Carlisle Hamilton road and we are confident there will be lot of good work done on the other roads leading into town from other directions. People like to trade here if they can only conven- iently get here. Let's all boost for good roads and get them.

Every new one that goes up makes room for an- other family and there has been plen- ty of families here looking for places to live during the past year or more. The Central Hotel and Cafe has
 been leased to a party who will take charge Apr. 1st. The owner will make needed repairs which will add greatly to the convenience and com fort of patrons. Mr. Muzzy has done splendid business since opening 1st of November and trusts his friende will give the place their business in future.

Early Christmas Shopping

Annually the call is issued for early shopping.
Merchants and their employees implore the pub
lie to come early, select early, and buy early, to
avoid the rush of the closing days of the season.
They point to the advantages of selecting
Christmas purchases while stocks are still COM
plete enabling the purchaser to make a judicious
selection They tell of the better service which
the sales people are able to give before the rush
sets in.
It is the part of wisdom to heed the request
of the mercantile world. No cogent argument
Can be advanced for late shopping, for no advan-
tages are inherent in waiting until the last min
ute to do that which can be done more easily and
with more profit at an earlier date
Every advantage lies with the customer who
makes out his Christmas list early and does his
shopping before YEARLY sales people vany try to
give service from stocks that have been depleted
by the wise shoppers.
Do your shopping early because it will be to
your advantage.
