FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1907
At Walnut Ridge the town
-council has created the office of
city attorney and provided that
such official shall have a fee of $25
in each conviction for blind tiger
ing or gaining. A proposed or-i
dinance along the same line was!
7»resented to the Newark city
council some time ago, but seems
to have met an ignominous fate.
Figures quoted in the annual
address of President John 1.
Stacy of Augusta to the Arkansas
“Banker's Asoeiation recently held
at Little Rock, show how Arkan
sas is progressing. When the
“bankers met last spring the total
Tank capitalization of the state
was $11,991,275, the total surplus
!$2,216,820 and the total deposits
$39,919,630. On January 1 last
the total capitalization had increas
ed to $13,646,706, the total surplus
to $5,007.045and the total deposits
to $47,452,844.

There are rumors that Governor
little has suffered a mental col
lapse, and may never be able to
resume his duties as governor. •
His son denies the report. Sena-1
lor Sims prepared a resolution fori
introduction in the legislature a
few days ago providing for the
appointment of a committee to go j
to Corpus Christi and ascertainJ
the exact condition of Governor}
Little, but the resolution was not!
introduced. All reports from i
1
Corpus Christi have said Governor ;
Little is improving, but Governor '
Little has been in a sanitarium at I
Corpus Christi now since early in j
January and it seems rather!
strange, to say the least of it, that'
a man can continue to improve fort
that length of time and not get
well. When l he governor
went away it was said that he was
only suffering from over-work
and needed a rest from business
cares. Taken altogether these re-1
ports rather indicate that there is j
something crooked somewhere, !
and we believe that the people of |
the state are entitled to a frank
statement as to the condition of
Governor Little.

IMMIGRANTS FOR ARKANSAS
It is reported that the Missouri
Pacific, Iron Mountain, Rock Is
land, Frisco and Missouri, Kansas
& Texas roads are going to use
half a million dollarsand hundreds
of agents in an effort to bring
about 400,000 immigrants to the
Southwest.
The Rock Island, Frisco and the
Missouri Pacific will send repre
sentatives to Europe who will
work from established bases at
various places. These two systems
may add materially to the popula
tion of Arkansas within the com
ing twelve months.
$15 REWARD
We, the undersigned, have de
posited $5.00 each with the Mer
chants & Planters Bank of New
ark to go with any other who will
contribute equal amounts for the
discovery and conviction of the
person, if above the age of 15
years, and not crazy, who perpre
t rated the scandalous act on the
public school of Newark on the
night of the 2nd of April 1907.

RELIEF FOR NEWARK
The bill permitting cities and
and towns in Independence county
to levy a tax, or license, on busi
ness houses, has passed both
houses of the ligislature and only
lacks the governor’s signature to
become a law. This bill was in
troduced in the house by Mr.
Thompson for the special benefit
of Newark, and its passage solves
a hard problem for the city fathers.

ANOTHER TWO-CENT RATE
For ten long years we have been
lighting to have the National
Democratic convention pulled off !
in Milwaukee. It is a famous and
a foamous city, and we have al- ■
ways wanted to be a humble instru
ment in adding to its fame and
foam. We would be glad to serve
as a delegate to the convention if
j it is held in Milwuakee; but other
wise we air not in the running,
j When we git a plank in the party
platform in favor of two-cent beer,
' we will be willing to pass in our
checks.—Hardeman Free Press.
DISTRICT UNION
The district union meeting of j
j the F. E. & C. U. of A., will be
held at Oak Ridge on Saturday,!
May 4. All unions requested to
send full delegation. An open
session will be held at night.

DAMAGE SUIT FAILED
The suit of Hattie May Burcher
and Laura E Turner against
Henry Beeves for $5,000 each for
false arrest, heard in the circuit
court Monday, resulted in a ver
dict for Beeves. The young wo
men, who are sisters, were em
ployed by Beeves, on his farm on
Cave Creek, in April of last year.
Upon reciving news that their
brother was very ill at Sulphur
Bock they left the Beeves place
and stated for that town. When
hardly more than a quarter of a
mile from the place, Beeves over
took and halted them and charged
them with stealing money to the ,
amount of $145 from him, and
compelled them to return to his:
house, where he searched them
and sent for an officer. Before
the arrival of the officers, however,
Beeves found his money in his
trunk, where his wife had placed
it in another part of his pocket
book from that in which it was
usually kept. He thereupon re
leased the young women and con
fessed his error. The women
allege that on account of his de-1
tention, they arrived at Sulphur
Bock too late to see their brother j
alive, he having died in the mean
time; and sued Beeves, with the
result announced above.—Bates
ville Guard.
