Amendment No. 3.

Says the Little Rock Democrat: From the vote on amendment No. 3 it appears that majority of the people voting on the question are not in favor of permitting the county courts to levy an additional tax of not more than three mills on the dollar for internal improvements, such as public roads, courthouses, jails and bridges. One thing is certain: We shall never have a system of public roads in Arkansas worthy of the name until we raise by taxation the funds necessary to give efficiency ia the system.

He had a large dray wagon to haul
his paint and all necessary tools to

would last fifteen years and as an
evidence of good faith asked for no

est, payable in a short time. The
paint was soon washed off by the
rain. leaving the roofs in a worse
condition than before, and the notes
turned up at the banks when they
became due and of course had to
be paid. The t. Yelling painter Is in

Well, we replied, we see by the list
that the highest contributor agrees
To give one dollar per month; we
will give the same amount in cash
and you pay for all notices. She
gladly agreed to this. The month
rolled around and she came in for
the dollar. We deducted il from our
bill and found that the Church owed
us n balance of S3.S5, and il wasn't
much of church month, either.
The lacy was dumbfounded. She
said she would send the amount up
at once. We enjoyed her discomfit-
ure a moment, then receipted the
bill and explained that when we
made the agreement we had no in
tention of pay ig the dollar or of
demandi Ig the amount due us, but
took that plan to convince her that
although newspaper men do not
get the credit of giving, by having
their names on the list, yet as a mat
ter of fact they give more to every
church than any member thereof.
We repeat: tie great trouble is that
publishers give literally and get no
credit for il. We believe il realiz-
alton of the fact was manifested by
any act which shows appreciation,
there would be no notices such as
appears at the beginning of this
article.
