 FOUND TRAVELLING HARD WORE
MT. and Mrs. T. T. Williams in Six
 States in Auto Trip.

MT. and Mrs. T. T. Williams in Six
 States in Auto Trip.
 MT. and Mrs. T. T. Williams, with their Chevrolet, a veteran of several seasons and long Journeys, reached Mena and home Monday evening at s o'clock after trip that took them into six states, besides many miles in Arkansas. Mir. Williams declares the trip the hardest he has experi- enced, the greater part of it being made in rains or on muddy roads. The last day, from 12 miles north of Waldron to Mena, seemed worst of all.
 But he's glad to get back-very very glad. And, he says one of his reasons for going on such journeys is to find out what other folks are doing,w and he is convinced that the ordinary run of folks in Arkansas are better off than in any state he visited.
 Leaving Mena on August 1. Mir. and Mrs. Williams drove to Hot Springs, thence to Little Rock and in- to Missouri at Cape Girardeau, up the Missouri river to near St. Louis,
 
 paign and Danville, thence into and thru Indiana to near Fort Wayne, and north into Michigan as far as Albion, where ten days was spent in fishing and visiting old-time friends. They returned by same route to Raymond, H., crossed the Mississippi at Alton, thence west thru Missouri to within 93 miles of Kansas City, and southwest into Kansas. They entered Arkansas be- low Southwest City, Mo, and fol- lowed down the west line, over to Sallisaw, Ok, back to Fort Smith and home by way of Waldron and Eagle Gap, in all about $500 miles. They bought three new castings and had some car trouble, mostly occa- stoned by his own fault, Mir. Will Hams confesses.
 Mir. Williams says he would not take anything for his experiences 2 but he has no desire to repeat them -sthat is, make such a tour accom- panied most of the way by rain and mud.
