Prof. c. T. Gordon, state school ex- aminer, accompanied by County Ex- aminer w. M. Pipkin, gave this office a pleasant call last Saturday. These gentlemen are now conducting a county normal in Mena and dolng all they can to advance the interests of education in Polk county.
 We call attention to the new adver- tisement of Messrs Sneed & Jones, the Mena hardware merchants. They ap- preciate the importance of having a regular space in so good an advertis- ing medium as the Star, and our numerous readers will do we'll to note what this firm has to say from week to week.

THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Trouble Again With Treasurer Sar-
 age and His Accounts.


 The regular monthly meeting of the city council vas held Monday night at the mayors office with, all mem bers present except W. l.. Hemphill, who has gone to California In his place the council elected Dr. $. l.. Lindsay to serve the unexpired term.
 A letition for the restraining of hogs was presented and referred to the ordinance committee.
 A proposition was made to the effect that if the city would furnish $40 with which to fence the southeast half of Jansen Park for deer, sixteen would be given to put therein.
 Treasurer Savage was present and offered his monthly report which was not satisfactory as it appeared that there was something wrong with the Keeping of our city funds. At this Juncture Mir. Savage rendered his resignation which was not accepted.
 The difficulty is rehashing of the squabble'' of a couple of months ago regarding the park and street fund. and it appears that the different funds have been mixed up again.
 The council appointed committee to investigate the books and when lhlngs are strengthened up again 1t IS probable that MT. Savage's resigna lion will be accepted. No other busi- mess of importance was brought be- fore the council.
