NEWPORT. ARKANSAS. TUESDAY

particular held another meeting at the Methodist church last night, says the Jonesboro Sun. It was largely attended and con- siderable interest manifested.
 The fight is to be made solely on the issue of license or no license as presented in the Sep tember election. Some of the leaders in the movement assert unlawful evils exist at present outside of the licensed saloon, but they say they are all connect ed with the saloon and a direct result of it, and that the way in which to be rid of all is to vote out the saloon.
 A thorough canvass will be made of the county and each pre- cinct will be worked in the in- terest of prohibition.

COUNCILS CALL
 FOR STREET WORK

At a meeting of the city fath- CTS Monday evening, upon re- quest from the street and alley committee, the council ordered all male persons resident in this city between the ages of 21 and 45 years to be called out for four days labor upon the streets, un- der the provisions of Ordinance 113, which fixes the tax at $3 if the resident prefers this method of settlement.
 The city marshal was instruct ed to call out for such labor per sons for whom summons shall be furnished by the street and alley committee.
 A communication from Judge M. M. Stuckey was read, calling attention to the decayed flooring of the Lake bridge, and the re- corder was instructed to adver- tise for bids on lumber to be re- quired.
 This official was also author ized to advertise for bids for scavenger work of city.
 All members of the council were present except Alderman Wilmans, who is absent from the city. No other business was transacted except the allowance of accounts.

URGE ADOPTION
 OF AMENDMENT.
Constitution Ought to Be S' Changed as to Allow Cities
 To Issue Bonds.

Little Rock, July 25. The con- vention of Arkansas-mayors at Hot Springs Tuesday will doubt less be we'll attended. The ob ject of the meeting is to discuss the best means of bringing out a full vote in favor of the con- stitutional amendment author izing cities of the first and second class to issue bonds for internal improvements. The recent Dem- ocratic state convention adopted resolution favoring the ratifica- tion of the amendment. Mayor w. B. Lemon of Little Rock to- day gave out the following state ment relative to the results to be accomplished !:
 I am anxious to see the pro- posed measure adopted, as ex- perience has taught us the wis dom of it. It occurs to me that there is very little doubt of the ratification of the amendment by the people. The legislature in it's wisdom has placed such provisions around it as to make it impossible for any city council to issue any bonds without first passing an ordinance stating the amount of the bonds to be issued, for what purpose the proceeds are to be used and the nature of the improvements to be made. And then the issuing of such bonds must be ratified by a ma jority vote of the citizens.
