pays to advertise is a fact as it devel-

1921 more money for .newspaper ad-

the roads of Van Zandt county.
Judge Hubbard has been constantly
on the job in behalf of our roads.
This trip was made with the hope of
getting funds for some badly needed
repair work on the west end of the
Dixie. He is very hopeful of getting
$15,000 for this purpose. He has also
been allowed funds for the bridge
and dump work to be done at the
Neches river. Also extra funds for
other road work in the county. We
dare say his activity ad efforts have

A Clever Arrest.
Last Sunday morning, the officers
■here had a phone call to come down
into the Edom country, as it was
thought that a still could be located
or the party who was selling whiskey.
In answer to the call Constable Law-
ler and Attorney A. A. Dawson re-
sponded. They found two men under
arrest for drunkenness. Upon ques-
tioning them they declared that they
didn’t know from whom they got the
whiskey, but finally one of the men
said he could take them to where the
man who was selling it was. The
thought here came to Mr. Lawler
