FREE FOR ALL FIGHT.
—————
People who were at Brookland
Saturday afternoon saw a fist
and skull fight the like of which
was perhaps never seen at any
place in this county. About
thirty men in one grand, big free
for all street fight, each man
using no weapon except his fist,
and all of them making good use
of their fists. Every face was
bloody and it took an hour to re- j
store order.
The fight started over politics
and was a vigorous one. We did
not get the names of the partici
pants. —Jonesboro Times-Enter-1
prise.
JUDSONIA AND
SEARCY AFFLICTED.
Judsonia is also afflicted with a
bad case of rotten plank walkitis.!
If you want to learn to step high, i
hop, skip, jump, stand on your
head, dodge and swear, just
come to Searcy and take regular
strolls on our crazy plank side
walks.—Searcy Times.
Judsonia has a few good side
walks and Street Commissioner
Drake will have another crew at
’jyork this week. He put down
several pieces of good new walk
last week, besides putting many
of the bad places in good repair.
We hope he will keep the good
work up, as good walks and good
streets are as good advertise
ments as a town can have, be
sides the convenience and satis
faction to the citizens.— Judsonia
Advance.
