What's Robert E. Lee Wilson going
to do with his one-man town?
It's getting to be complex
problem, not only here in Wilson,
Mississippi county, but for grizzled
pioneers, railroad magnates, bank
ers in surrounding towns anG finan-

This and Chicago WHO wonder just
What Lee Wilson, new I'll, IS going
to do with fast-growing town of
1000 population and which he owns
lock, stock and barrel.
Like some feudal land baron Of
old, this man owns everything in
sight on a vast expanse of nearly
$4,000 acres. It's all his, personal
ly. The only thing he doesn't own
in Wilson is a little yellow depot
and a few hundred yards of steel
rail, the property of the Frisco rail
way.
But even the Frisco system
hasn't anything on Mr.. Wilson. he
operates his own little railroad,
runs it to suit himself, and it's 14O
miles long. They CALI it the Jones'
boro, Lake City & Eastern railroad,
and it links up Wilson with Jones'
b0ro and Blytheville, Ark.
But even a multi-millionaie, such
as Wilson, with all his business
acumen, can't be expected to fill
the shoes of mayor, the chief of
police, the banker, the hotel pro-
prietor, the merchant, the preacher,
the justice of the peace and all
the other shoes incident to the rule,
control and hustling town like Will
son. %f@
There's only one government of
fetal in town--the postmaster. The
tax collector drops around once a
year, but it's easy to ollect taxes
in Wilson. He writes out a mem

There are 240 residences in Will
son and Mr.. Wilson owns them all.
His property, including the town
proper, extends 27 miles in length
one way, eight miles in another and
then winds along with the, Missis-
sippi river.
Here is some of the property
which Wilson owns personally, in

The advertisers took the puzzle as an
opportunity to show the people OF
