He stated that up to last night 1, 500 tax receipts had been recorded agaist 3, 3,2000 on the same date last year.
 Mir. Holland attributes this promptness upon the part of the people to two causes. He states that it has been .he policy of tte tax collectors for the past several years to urge the people to pay their taxes before April 10th and avoid the penalty. The other cause is the general prosperity of this section.
 The people of Jefferson county are probably in better condition financially than ever before, and We congratulate them upon the evidences Of prosperity seen upon every hand.

Prospects for the Pine Buff Iron
 Works.

 Several large subscriptions have been received during the past week, one capitalist subscribing $10, GOO.

 Tue demand for iron work is greater at present than ever before, and people who are posted in this line of business are aware of the immense profits to be derived from lnyestments in fonndr;es and machine shops. The promoters of ttis enterprise propose to guarantee all investors a dividend of 15 per cent on all stock subscribed.

 ver. The Arkansas Democrat, - ~ .frday afternooa, has tbe fol.
 f1s to say about the matter:
 It will cause general surprise and regret this evening when the public i is notified that Col J. A. Woodson has decided to reslgn as mayor of Little Rock.

 It is nos possible for ne to continue in the office of mayor aad discharge the duties of my office with the railway, and I have decid= ed upon the only course that ap. pears to me as feasible.
 All the responsibilities of the property, including the contempat- ed extensions, are to be placed up on my shoulders, and this will de. maud my constant and undivided attention. During five years of my recalvership of the road the duties were not as exaetlng, although very much depended upon me tten. l have endeavored to serve the people as faithfully as l knew how, aud while the affairs of the city govern ment have laid heavily upon me in moments Of sore trial, I shall rt- tire with feeling of regret"
