LAST WARNING
Mr.. Road 0verseer;

The law requires you to keep your
section Of road in good condition for
travel, and empowers you TO warn
out your hands and cause them to
work two days Of every week, IL nee.
essary, to keep your roads in said
condition; and the penalty for your
failure to do so is fine Of not less
than $500 or more than $25 90 and
the cost Of prosecution.
The complaints Of the people, about
the awful condition Of the roads, are
so persistent and the demand for
relief so urgent, and my stock Of ex-
cuses for you having been exhausted,
puts me up against the real thing
and have promised to use my per.
suasive powers on you TO get the
roads and bridges in good condition
for travel by the 10th day Of the pres.
ent month, July 1920. Those com.
planning say that they do not want
you prosecuted II they can get the
roads improved without it, but any
complaint to me after July 20, 1920
will result in u warrant Of arrest
for the overseer Of the section Of
road complained Of. This warning
is to every road overseer in Critten.
den County. Yours truly,
X. l.. MOORE.
Judge Crittenden County Court.

Pillows primarily were designed for
comfort; today many Of them seem
y be designed for their decorative
value. How often a necessary brigh,
touch Of color can be added TO a room
scheme by the introduction Of a cush
ton. How many times a grouping OF
< furniture can he tied together by a
bright pillow thrown seemingly care
lessly on the floor. We have all
probably found u decorative pillow a
Friend at decorating time, Therefore
yeu ask why the necessity Of trying

ave found them friends in need,
pasting their excellent qualities is
operfluous. That is just the point.
