That the ordinary dealers in bonds did not want
to take this issue except on terms that were extremely
favorable to them is not at all strange In the ordinary
banking sense there is no market for bonds right now
and people who are in position to buy bonds for invest

dressed up with the idea Of coaxns reluctant dollars
out Of their hiding places.
Of coune for West Virgnians this road bond
issue has an interest entirely outside of the rate tha,
it will pay and daubtless it will be possible for West
Virginia bankers to create market for it, but it will
not be fair 10 the bankers to assume that they can
turn thin air into sound dollars.

that is to pursue TIE tactics Of the morc successful bond

DR.. We. BONE
AT BROOKLAND
HAS RELAPSE
Suffers Hemorrhage of In
jured Lung-Moved to
His Home From Jones
boro Hospital This Week.
(From Tuesdays Press)

DR.. w. e. Bone, the physician at
Brookland who was shot through
right lung several days ago by
Wash Wilson, a farmer residing east
of that city, is in a very critical
condition as result of his injury,
according to a news report that
reached Paragould this morning from
the doctors bedside. 1t is reported
the patient suffered hemorrhage
of the injured lung last night
The patient was removed from st.
Bernard's hospital at Jonesboro to
his home in Brookland several days
ago, it then being the impression
of Jonesboro physicians that his con-
dition was sufficiently encouraging
to admit of the change. Yesterday
morning he was, apparently, getting
along very favorably but early last
evening he is said to have suffered
a hemorrhage that very much weak
ened his condition. Individuals at
the depot in Brookland last evening
preparatory to catching the Cotton
Belt passenger to come to Para
gould heard screams emanating from
the physicians home nearby. 1t
was reported to them that the doctor
had suddenly become much worse
Wash Wilson, the man who did
the shooting, is said to have gone
on another wild spree" and is
reported to have caused trouble at
Brookland few days ago, result
| ing in officers again taking him
in charge and locking him up 1t
appears the man had been released
on bond after having been incar-
cerated at Jonesboro Immediately
following the shot he administered in
an endeavor to end DR.. Bones life
If it is fact that DR.. Bones
injury has developed hemorrhages
of the lung the chances for his
recovery are regarded as being very
remote. The bullet that entered
his body passed entirely through
the right lung, it is said
