Plain Citizen AL Smith, who until
day before yeterday was Governor Of
New York, went to work this morn
ing at the offices of the United States
Trucking Corporation, No. ss5 Canal
Street.
The new employee of the trucking
firm was more than an hour late in
arriving to assume his duties as Chair
man of the Board OF Directors, but his
boss, John J. Riordan. President OF
the company, was the cause Of his
hardness. Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Riordan,
who had called for, him in his car at
NO. IS Oliver Street, reminded the for
mer Governor that Alfred j. Talley,
whom the Governor appointed to the
bench last week, was to be installed
this morning and suggested they go
IN and pay their respects. They did,
and nearly every ono in General Ses-
sions stopped Mr.. Smith to wish him a
Happy New Year.
All the sixty men and girls en-
bloyed IN the trucking company's Of
flee lined up to he presented TO their
new Chairman, who It'd them he
was delighted 70 be associated with
Ahem and that he hoped they would
work with him in making the COM
pauy Of greater service to New York
INTERNAL Revenue Collector Edwards
was one of those who came In to
greet Mr.. Smith in his new office,
which is fitted up with mahogany
desks ON which electricians were plac-
ing many push buttons. Mr.. Smith
seemed at home in It and reiterated
TO callers that he Is through with
politics.
Il am going to work for myself
now" he SAID. And there's a great
opportunity for public service In the
trucking business. which II 1t "a Peor-
gained properly, can help New York
maintain its supremacy as a port of
entry against its competitors"

 We are all enjoying the cool, crisp breezes of October.
 There has been quite lot of sick ness in our community for the past week-mostly chills and fever. Those being most sorely afflicted with same were: Mrs. Andrews children, MT. Shook, MT. and Mrs. Glidewell, MT. Martin Kumpe and little daughter. All are reported better.
 Several in t he community were prohibited from putting an exhibit in the fair on account of illness.
 The fair was good, and credit to any community. The several rural schools represented did fine work, Sweet Home winning first prize on exhibit and singing, and Woodbridge first on yells. We are very proud of the children's work and also very proud of the good, faithful work of our teacher.
 Some one has unthoughtedly set fire to the woods south of us, and at times the smoke is so dense we can hardly breathe. This is a very disastrous practice and should be stopped.
 Mir. and Mrs. Morris Locke are planning to move back to the city for the winter.
 Mrs. Joe Pinnell has returned from visit with friends near Pinnacle mountain.

 The cold weather of last week was very refreshing, and made us begin to wonder where our last winters clothes were packed away.

There is need of great work being done on it and we hope it will be put in fine shape as there is talk of con solidating the schools and having a high school at Mt. Carmel, and the good roads proposition will be a great help in the transportation of children back and forth.
 The ,. l. A. is planning to have another entertainment at the school house in the near future. Just what it will be hasn't fully been decided as yet.

SWEET HOME
 HAS FINE FAIR
IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS AND IS PULASKI COUNTY'S NEAR EST APPROACH TO A REAL COUNTY FAIR.


 The Sweet Home Community Fair, while of course like everything else, has suffered from the depression, was success nevertheless, also like other things it has been improved by the improving conditions.
 Through misunderstanding no other community except Sweet Home had an exhibit. This I am sure would not have happened had Sweet Home got out and boosted for her fair as she did last year. The main trouble being that other communities got an idea that because Sweet Home did not come to see them and invite them over, they were not wanted. know this to have been the main reason, and 1 also know that Sweet Home wanted her neighbors in just as much as she did last year, but Sweet Homes public building work took up all the attention of her citizens and they could not look around amongst their neighbors and encourage them to ex- hibit l am sure both of these condi- tions will be remedied next year. Sweet Homes Community Fair is more than its name implies. TT IS THE NEAREST APPROACH TO A COUNTY FAIR of anything in Pu- laski county and little more boost ing and little more interest taken in it by the people of the surrounding country could easily make 1t a coun- ty fair drawing visitors not only from Little Rock and the rest of the coun- ty, but from all over the state. So don't get discouraged, but go to work everybody harder than ever.
 Judge Mover started work on the Sweet Home pike, but the dry weather got so dry that he had to abandon it. Some people complained about the dust, but l wish to remind them that road work, like farming, demands reasonable rains. Too little or too much is disastrous to the work.
 The fair was opened by an address from Judge Mover. Tho Judge said he told the ladies when they invited him to speak that he could not make a speech, but they told him to go ahead and just talk about anything he wanted to. He said he thought this Sweet Home community building and fair the most wonderful thing in Pu- laski county. Then he proceeded to give an account of his stewardship. Lack of finances has prevented him from doing all he wanted to, but he has done the best possible under the circumstances, and Pulaski county scrip as result is at par. That's a wonderful thing, if you willj just stop to think of it. Formerly you had to pay ten per cent or more to get your scrip discounted, now it is just the same as so much cash. The roads are better than I have ever known them during the twenty years of my residence in the county. l know probably better than any other man in the county that they are much better than they have been before in five years. Ever since I have known the county there was big pile of gravel near the Lasater place, and the Clear Lake road there was about the worst mud-hole in the county. From the Lasater place he used that gravel to build a good road to Eng land. He mentioned a number of other roads he has improved, which have not been worked on heretofore. The county farm has raised 5000
