FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1900
Steps should be taken to have
Independence county represented

Springs in October. The Farmers
Union should take up this matter
and get up a tine agricultural ex
lilbit. __________
The News is making a fight on
the red light section of Newport
and says it must go. But we no
tice it don't go much. Periodic
attacks have been made on this ^
cess pool of iniquity every since
we have known anything about
Newport, but they never accomp
lish anything, and Honkatonk has I
become recognized by the j
outside world as a permanent
feature of Newport.
Arkansas cannot afford to be
parsimonious insofar as relates to!
her school-. Hvery consideration
demands that school advantages1
be offered to the youth of the state.
Without these advantages the fer
tility of the soil and other natural
TQ.sQurce? will be as naught. Bet-]
ter school'are an absolute tteees-,
jsity, especially through the rural
districts where the lack of funds!
is a serious handicap. The adop
tion of amendment No. x will re
lieve the situation considerably,
as the school districts can then
vote a larger local tax if they so
desire. _
