Elitor TINEs:
 SlR: The directors of the Stu art Spring company met at the bank building on Wednesday eve nlng, March 2l, 1888. Amongst other business transacted at that
 meeting was the unanimous pass age of the following resolution:
 Whereas, It Is well known to every member of the Stuart 1 Springs company that it was not organized as money making speculation for those who took
 stock therein but, on the contrary.
 that those who compose the com pauy subscribed their money solely for the purpose of creating, improving and beautifying the park, so as 10 make II placo of 1 pleasure, open and free to all the citizens of St. Francis and sur rounding counties. To this end the company has subscribed and spent in improving the grounds
 etc., over SI,600 It sold rrivi- leges during the past season. bu, it spent every cent thus received
 upon improving tho grounds To- day 1t finds itself without money and clearly perceivos that some thlng must be done to clean the grounds and leave them fitted for occupancy during the present spring. Since the company IS
 without money, and since 1t feels that in the past 1t has done every 1 thing Tn Its bower to make the park pleasant place of resort. it
 believes that the generous-hearted citizen, ot thus county will aid in lis efforts to retain and still fur ther beantify thls lovely place, be it
 Resolved, That Thursday. the 29lh day of March, if tho day is fair. be set apart as day for cleaning up Inc park; and be it further resolyo1 that every citizen of the county be respectfully In- vltet to come himself. or send han4, hr.ngiHg with hum hoe or rake (aud hjs dInner) and spend the day in making the grounds clean and attractive The com- pany hopes that the response to this request will be worthy of our people Captain ". II. Me
 Daniel will be ID charge all day. and al parties should report to him. Tho captain will receive contributions in money from those who are unable to come or send hands, and wiD spend such con tribuuons inemploying labor. The names of those who come. send hands in their stead or who con- triouts money, wIli be puoiished. so that due credit may be given 10 the ones who merit 1t.
 Resolved, further, that TIE TNEs and East Arkansian be re- I tested to publish thls resolution.
