A few days ago we overheard a re-
mark made by a citizen of the north
western part of the county who was
tr%ansacting some business here, which
ibid not sound just right. He said the
Harding administration had been only
a few months in doing what the Will
son administration did not do in eight
years. A by-stander wanted to know
what it was, and was told that Hard
ing had made the skin of An o'possom
worth that of two steers. -Centerville

An enterprise out growth of the re-
cent high waters and flooded condi-
ton in East Poplar Bluff which at
tracted some attention of visitors in
the vicinity of the Butler County de-
pot Monday was a street "ferry;''
that is, a couple of negroes had an
ordinary row-boat which they were
using as a "ferry'' for passengers and
others who wished to come up town
from that vicinity across Bartlett
street; the full width of the street was
not covered by water, making the
"haul" sven shorter than it might
otherwise have been. One of the
"ferrymen" would wade and pull the
boat while his assistant, and copartnel
lin the receipts, would wade behint
the boat and push. The ferryage wal
5 cents per-and at n load as many
as four people were carried safel!
across in the little ferry. This, al
agreed, was real enterprise .-PoplaI
