READYTOCONSTRUCT
AN OUTLET SEWER
URGE STREET IMPROVEMENT.
Property Owners Ask That Sixteenth

Mr.. Thomas G. Steward has written to
the District Commissioners requesting
on behalf of the owners OF sixteen par
GELS of ground. into which the tract of
land known as Malvern Park situated
on Sixteenth Street extended, opposite
the new Brightwood reservoir. has been
divided, that an appropriation for grad
ing and merchandising Sixteenth Street
from the northern limit of the Blagden
tract to the BTightwood race track be
now recommended. Nearly all OF the
owners of the aforesaid parcels OF
ground, he said, intend TO build thereon,
and will erect handsome houses on their
respective holdings as soon as the street
is put in condition for use. He declares
the request is made in good faith, and
not for speculative purposes. He says
his clients bought the land for homes.
and not lot has been transferred since
the date of purchase.
On behalf of the same parties the at
torney asks that some provision be
made for supplying water to the prem
ises of each owner upon the completion
of each house. The writer suggests that
the paving and grading of the street
at the points indicated would amount to
nothing more than an extension of the
improvements already made at the res
eryoir.

Results.

PEARLlNG PLAYING OUT.

B. J. Best, pearl buyer of New port, was in the city Monday, says the Little Rock Democrat, and was seen at the Capital Hotel, asserting about a gallon of slugs which he said that he had just bought for $40, II will prob ably get enough good and passabls pearls out of this pile of stuff to make two or three hundred per cent on the investment" said he. "Probably fifty tons of shells were opened to gel these, Sometimes two or three pearls, are found in shell, and again 8 thousand are opened and none found at all. The per cent of the shells that must be opened to find really valu- able pearl is much greater. l would not advise anyone to go into the pearl business, although many have made fortunes in it. Then again, thousands have lost fortunes. The pearl busi- ness is playing out. Not more than twenty five tons of shells a week arc received now at the Newport button factory, and last spring they used to come in as high as 100 tons a day. No pearls are being found now in the St. Francis, and they are about gone on the Black river and the uppe} White. There is still some profitable pearling at DeVal's Bluff, but it is not nearly what it used to be there, md what are found are not nearly oj as good quality. The market for Ar kansas pearls has kept up remarkably we'll, and the prices have ruled strong"

PERFORMANCES PLEASED PEOPLE

The crowd which attended the afternoon performance of the Wallace show was generally estimated between six and seven thousand. such a mass of humanity was never before seen under canvas in Newport and con sidering the rain, that increased to a downpour as night came on, the evening crowd exceeded what might reasonably be expected with such un- favorable skies.
 The performance pleased and de lighted the large crowds. It won the praise of those in attendance and when B. E. Wallace comes to New port again, he will find that his circus stands in high repute throughout this section. The managers of the differ ent business departments of the show are affable and courteous and especi- ally do we wish to mention in this connection the shows press agent MT. Freddy Bright" who handles well his duties and makes friends with the pencil pushers.
 The Wallace Show closes the season Saturday and we hope that Newport may each year be given place upon the map of the big circus.
