 Notes

Tourists travel continues heavy.
 The disaster in Pueblo has disruted the mail service.
 Franklin continues to re- port good business both the Overland and the Willys- Knight.
 MT. Orman of the Orman Construction Co.,, departed for Pueblo after learning of the flood. We trust he sus- tains no loss.
 Sheriff Newman departed this week for Everett, Mass. !, to bring back Preston Sims who is wanted for forgery.
 Two Los Angeles men in- terested in the Holbrook Oil field, MT. Babcock and Dr. Heller, were in Holbrook a short time this week.

 B. L. Gibbons, Taylor, is the new proprietor of the Arizona Hotel in, that city. He announces many new changes, which make the hotel very inviting indeed.
 The Pueblo disaster should arouse all good Americans to their responsibility to see that no undue suffering ob- tains in this ill-fated city. Pueblo is a good, wholesome American city, and it is the duty of everyone to help those unfortunate people as much as possible.
 Emil Berling IS producing even better quality of bak- cry goods than formerly since moving into his new quarters. Holbrook people should patronize him to the fullest extent. His goods are worthy.

For Curtain Rod.

In inserting a rod in curtains if a thimble is placed over the end of the rod it will run easily through the head ing. This eliminates the possibility of tearing and saves a great deal of time and patience.

COTTON COMES
BACK AFTER A
SHARP TUMBLE
Price of Staple at Opening g
Of Market Caused Specu-
lation Among Buyers
Soon Receivers Loss.


The cotton market situation open
ed nervously this morning when De-
cepber quotation w&s chalkcd up
ct la.l8, considerable drop from
that quoted yesterday However.
II soon became steady and a rise
to 1910, gaining back tho slump,
was recorded before the close this
IafterpooD. For a time it appeared
that q severe break was at hand
and the uncertainty OF prospects
caused considerable speculation as
20 the outcome among local buyers
The local market was affected to IA
slight extent. causing the price Of
l5:75 In the seed and around II
cents in the lint to prevail. How
lever. the tendency seems to indi-
,catc that the price win climb back
to that Of tho past few days. that
OF cents In the seed ond around
rs cents in the lint. Deliveries to
the city were rather light today.
Good ueVs was received this
morning TO tho effect that the en-
barge esainst the receipt OF ba!ed
cotton at the eompresses at Dlytho-
willie and Jonesboro had been re-
moved. 1t was reported few days
ago that Indications pointed to the
enforcement OF an, indefinite order
Iaga!ust deliveries and tho news OF
the Hitting OF the ban came as an
Agreeable surprise. Tho aceumula-
ltion OF cotton at the two compresse3,
the one at DlJthcvilie in particular,
Is very heavy. II is said.
The demand for immediate doliv-
cry OF the staple TO the mills seems
TO have taken more favorable turn
within the past two or three days.
Milla are calling for the product,
~ is said and il compress acoommo-
.dations can be had there likely Will
be more favorable outlook for the
handling OF tho staple. Buyers
have been facing q rather unfavora-
bio alton. due TO the fact that
they were getting so completely
'oyerStocked with purchases that Il
was causing considerable apprchen-
'sien among them. The mill pur.
'ahasins phase OF the situaticn is
.a'fordinS q brighter prospect for
the buyers ana they ore playing 10
the market with great deal moro
.encouraSem than they have cy-
'perienced during the past few days.
With the favorable weather that's
continuing throughout this section,
prospects for heavy deliveries being
kept up arc very favorable. Last
week was the most active period
that has been e3pcrhuced during
tho season. All ohter points
throughout this region reported
very heavy receipts.

The city Of Ionesboro has Joined
heartily IN the effort to induce the
routing OF tao great Lakes & Quiz
Highway along the eastern slopes
CT Crowiey's Ridge instead Of along
the main line of tho Iron Mountain
railway on the western side Of the
Mills, from Poplar Bluff TO Newport.
The routing OF the highway along
the eastern slopes wo2-,i mean that
the artery would touch both Para
gould and Jones5oro, running from
Poplar Bluff 10 Grubbs. twelve miles
southwest Of Jopesboro, where il
would connect up With newly
built hard road running through
