cinnati, Ohio, died Monday night at
ten O'Clock following an appendicitis
operation. According to messages re-
ceived by relatives here the body is
being shipped to Poplar Bluff, Mo-, for

cipal stockholder of the Dalton Adding
Machine Company, which he organized
at Poplar Bluff about twenty-five years
ago. He had formerly been at the
head of a big department store there.

but was reared TO manhood in this
county. Through his executive ability
he amassed a huge estate.

ters, Clara and Mary, and a son, Char
lie, all of Cincinnati, one son, Grover,

Uncle Dock Holt

W. L. "Uncle Dock" Holt, aged 81
years and six days, died last Wednes-
day at the home Of his son, John X.
Holt, at Reyno. John r. and another
son, w. A., of Warm Springs are the
only surviving members Of his family.
The body was taken to Warm Springs
Thursday and laid to rest beside his
wife, who preceded him in death 10
years ago. Bro. Geo. Million conduct
ed the funeral services. A large crowd
was in attendance.
This marks the passing of one more
of the pioneer settlers of Randolph
county. The old folks who suffered
the prlvations and hardships of the
early days are slipping away, one by
one, each year seeing their ranks grow
thinner.
Uncle Dock was active in the build
ing of Randolph county and the re-
cords of the early days bear his name
in prominent places. He served as
Justice of the peace for many years
during his younger days, He was
stricken helpless about a year ago and
never rallied.

Oppose Road Order
. The poeahontas star Herald /:

Az Ht AOOhhOntoc t1thA AAtAoAN
In reply to a letter see in the Star
Herald from c. +. Bode will say that
this good man talks about a road from
90 years ago, with his mud holes in
them. He doesn't know much about
roads, and poor politician.
First Of all, fill the mud holes with
rocks and then gravel and You viii
have q road that lasts forever. This l
think is Mr. Browns idea for a good
road.
And about his 30-foot lane. l think
he doesn't know what n lane Is. For
example. you take your car and take
the Imboden road ! IA miles south
from PocahOntas there is new road,
forks In the holland road. 1t is about
10 feet wide. Mr.. Bode, you call ii
a lane? Million calls it Il highway.
But Million wants them 90 feet wide.
why Is IL that this highway tMillionl
wants 10 feet, and no fence around.
and other places where farmers have
fences, he wants them 90 feet wide.
There are three more places like this.
Respectfully. w. IL. Moore

Early Boosts Our Judge

Ingram, Jan. 13-We hardly know
what to say in regard to Judge Mil
lions road building program. How
ever. we will say that we live near
the pocahontas and Warm Springs
road. II miles from Pocahontas, and
when Million took this road in charge
there was but one mudhole in this
road and that reached from our lot
gate to the court house. Now this
road is fine.
This writer acted as conductor on a
cotton boil wagon for two months Just
before the holidays and although we
were bankrupted by the low priced
cotton we will say that the only fun
we got out of the crop was the haul
ing.
Now IL there is anything we need
worse than good roads we don't know
what It is. Lack of interest and CO.
operation among our citizens is respOn-
sible for the roads of Arkansas and
Randolph county having been veritable
mudholes for 10, these many years.
Bad roads have also caused the name
of the fair State of Arkansas and Ran
dolph county to be used Ms a by-word
and sneered at by more progressive
states. Let us all pull together and
build better roads and remember with
out good roads we can have no county
worth while. Let the Flivvers ana
trucks scorch and remember that she
burden of road building today rests
on the ear and truck owners.
Hurrah. for any man who Is stand
ing up and lighting for better system
of road building in Randolph county

Million

To the Pocahontas Star Herald ff.
notice a reply from Mr.. Bode to

proposition. Now, as to the 30-foOt

a good road bed on such small space
Of ground. So we all favor Mr.. Bode
and the 50-foot road.
Now, we are all for Judge Million
and better roads. We think he has
done more for the betterment of our
roads than any man that has ever
held the Office We are for Judge Mil

burg, Ind, there will be q vigorous
investigation" of political corruption
made at the coming session. In
reply to letter sent to all mem
bers by Thomas II. Adams, Vim
cennes editor. asking If they favored
the investigation, Ketchum replied:
"The investigation just ended by
the Marion County grand jury seems
to show a marked tendency to sub
stantiate your claims regarding cor
ruption in Indiana politics. The
prosecutor admits he is disappoint-
ed, not In the evidence, but in the
report of the grand jury.
Personally, I cannot believe that
Marion County, generally conceded
to be suffering from malignant po-
litical atrophy, can be said to pos.
sess an unbiased interest in any
question affecting the whole State
politically.
With this conviction, 1 cannot
take seriously the report above re-
ferred to and favor in it's stead a

lature of the charges made.

ECONOMIC LAW CHANGED
ROtarians Hear of Wonderful Pros
peritY During 1926.

"The year 1926 has made it neces-
sary to revolutionize the fundamen-
tai law of economics" said Robert
M. Davis Of New York, statistical
advisor of the McGraw-Hill Publish
ing Company Tuesday noon in his
address before the Rotary Club at
the Claypool.
This Nation reached it's peak of
prosperity unprecedented within its
history" he continued. wages were
increased, production unprecedented,
and every industry save textiles was
in the finest condition, and all this
during a period of falling prices!"
Falling prices, he explained, have
always heretofore been due to over
production and followed by curtail
ment. Continued prosperity was in
dicated in all directions, the speaker
said.

Because Indianapolis citizens have

Overlooked in the Christmas rush,
seals sent out in letters form a con-
siderable part Of the expected
amount necessary to finance work
against the white plague during the
coming year. said Miss Mary A.
Meyers, executive secretary. We are
therefore hoping that all citizens hav-
ing seals now unpaid for will send
their checks at once"
