The Hon. G. Washington Whipple wants
the city to % to the expense of purchasing
a tin box to keep therein our city's valuable
public documents There is nothing so very
wrong about having tin box, but to talk
of buying one, and lots of oyster cans lying
around loose, is the height of profigacy
with the peoples money. If Council wishes
to do good and charitable act, it will buy
good stout hoop and toot-horn, and trust
to Providence for the rest.
The City Council, by unanimous vote,
requests the citizens to send q petition to
our Representative, Milt Hamilton, to see
that the amendments to our charter, now
in his possession, be passed, as the city
stands sadly in need of such legislation.
The petition is being numerously signed
and will be forwarded to Frankfort this
evening or tomorrow morning Hon:
Milt. Hamilton can do nothing that will
please his constituents of Ludlow better
than have the aforesaid amendments passed

lease doctrine is all bosh, and the proposed
two millions of dollars is only another coat
of sugar over the thing to make it an easy
and palatable dose for a ring (now well un-
derstood) to swallow. First let it be settled
whether this lease must be made, and if so
then we say, no more money-let it be
leased and the bondholders make the most
of it.
Next let it be settled that the road will be
used for the business interests of the city, so
as to give us competition Then let us go
for the money wherewith to finish it with
all our might. Now is the time to settle
these points, if ever RAILROAD.

THE SOUTHERN ROAD.
Let 1t he Fun i'm the Interest of the
City, or No More Money for 1t.

To the Editor of the Star;
Your correspondent Zaca, in his contri-
button to your issue Of the 18th, in my
judgment made, center shot upon the flu
ture of the Southern Railroad. If it is to
be leased, then it ought to be disposed of
now, and without loading the city with two
millions of dollars more to partly finish it,
The effect of leasing will be precisely what
Zaca suggests. But if we are are to work
the road for the city and by the city, then
it would be we'll enough to finish it as soon
as possible, cost what it will. This point
should be settled at once.
l am told that such contract exists with
the holders of the bonds for our first ten
millions; that the road must be leased.
Why? All these bondholders want, or can
have, is their interest and principal, as they
BECOME due, and for these they have mort
gage on the whole road and lien upon
the whole city. Is not that enough? This

State and County Fairs.

LITTLE Rock, May IA, 1878.
EDITOR GAzLTTE: | wish to call the
attention of the people of Arkansas-all
who are in favor of building up the State
and developing her great resources-to
the great necessity of giving their en-
couragement to our County and State
Fairs. We must organize thoroughly in
the various counties. Let us have our
County Fairs as early in October as pos
sible, and on different days, in order
to give the people an opportunity to go
from one to another, and all have n
chance to attend the State Fair, which
we can and must make grand success.
By holding the State Fair during the
last days Of October, all will have the
opportunity to attend with their stock,
manufactures and products, which have
been exhibited at the several County
Fairs.
1qIo state Fair ASSOCIATION has organ
lied and formed n joint stock company,
with shares at S25 each, and while the
citizens of Little Rock and Pulaski Coun-
ty will subscribe literally to make the
next Fair grand success-tar ahead of
any enterprise of the kind ever gotten
up in the State or in the Southwest they
must have the aid ard active co-opera
ton Of the entire people of the State.
Let the citizens in the different coun-
ties subscribe literally by taking as
many shares as possible, so that we may
be all mutually interested and work in
common for the same end. Let us re-
pair and enlarge the old buildings on
the Fair Grounds, build new houses,
adorn and beautify the grounds, and have
everything in perfect readiness for the
exhibition. Let us begin our prepare
tons in time, and all work together.
We must invite exhibitors from other
States, SO that We may see how Arkan-
sas can stand competition. The stock
holders should take steps at once to Sc
cure title to the grounds. If they fail
to get such title they should at once
purchase other grounds suitable for then
purpose.
We hope to hear from the press of the
State on this subject, so important to the
best interests of the whole people, Oul
papers can not say too much in the en-
couragement of State and County Fairs
immigration and such subjects.
