W. GIBBENS LICENSED Real Estate Broker AND Notary Public List. Your Property With Me St. Paul, Ark. Primary Election August 12, 1930 a lot of absolute bosb 18 being written about the roads of Arkansas- most of it unreasonable, and a lot more or it impossible.

With one hand the editors demand that the state highway commission build paved roads thru their coupties. and with the other they dewand that the same money be exneeded OD county roads that lead only to the county seat or the market place without thougbt of their anection with the roads of adjoining counties. One week they want to know why their county urges 10 not center their efforts and eacb build a The few miles of real demand road a year. next they that he get out and do something in this or that township. regardless fof the special projects.

There isp't money enough in the United States meet the demands that some editors are making 00 the state highway department. And the worst of it 1g that they know it just as well as yon or 1. It's just political bunk: an attempt to put some politician in the hole, or to help pull another out. Benton county bears about as little of this rot as any county in the state- -for which we are duly thankful. (Mr.

Funk hag lust retired as president of the tional Editorial Association.) Attorney Defendant In Civil Suit -0- Suit has been filed in Ben-! ton county chancery court by Hosea L. Williams, Roy W. Williams, Louise Williams Healy and Josephine Williams Wood, heirs of A. L. Williams against John W.

Nance, asking judgement of $1,000 as part of a debt settlement said to be due the Williams estate. The complaint charges that Nance, who was employed by the Williams heirs to collect a claim of $40,000 from W. R. Felker and J. E.

Felker, recommended that the claim be settled for $4,000. The plaintiffs charge that Nance settled for $5,000, receiving one check for $4.000 and another for $1,000 and turned only the $4,000 over to the estate. The heirs claim that since Nance was paid a fee of $500 for his services as attorney, he is not entitled to the $1.000 additional. -Springdale News 1930.
