GOOD ROADS MEETING HERE
Speakers Will be Heard at Court
 House Tonight.
Effort Will be Made to Organize County Good Roads Association in Faulk
 ner County.

A good roads meeting will be held at the court house this (Thurs- day) evening, beginning at 7:3o o'clock, for the purpose of increas- ing the interest in this movement, and an effort will be made to or ganize a county good roads associa- ton for Faulkner county.
 l. s. Hawkins of Pine Bluff, state secretary of the Arkansas Good Roads Association, and G.. w. Donaghey of this city, mem Der of the state executive commit tee, will be the principal speakers, and other addresses will doubtless be delivered.
 The Arkansas Good Roads As sociation is circulating petitions to be presented to the next general assembly, asking for road legisla- ton, and is making vigorous campaign for signers. Among the principal requests of the petition are the following:
 I. That the state convicts be worked on the public roads, thus taking them out of competition with free labor and putting them in place where their labor will be vast benefit to the state.
 ?. State aid in road building by taxation, so that railroads and non- resident property owners may be forced to contribute their share to the support of good roads.
 !. That those counties which vote to do so may build roads by issuing bonds, in the same manner that levies are now built and city improvements made.
 Everyone interested i'll good is urged to be present at this meeting, and the various road overseers of the county are espec- ially requested to attend.

Also Ordinance Making it Lawful to Deal in Second Hand Furniture and Hard

The city council held meeting Tuesday night, all members being present except Alderman E. w.. Rogers.
 The new fire limits ordinance was read : the third time and passed. This ordinance includes a little additional territory to the old fire limits ordinance, and is more specific as to the character of buildings that may be erected in the limits. It also provides that no building of any character may be erected in the limits without approval plans and permission by the chairman of the improvement committee.
 An ordinance was introduced on the petition of F. F. Young blood and, under suspension of the rules, read the second and third times and passed, making it lawful to deal in secondhand fur niture and hardware in this city, provided that no such goods shall be shipped here from points out side of Faulkner county.
 The judiciary committee re- quested further time to complete the ordinance laying of and es- tablishing the proposed sidewalk district in the southern part of the city. J. D. Collier presented a petition signed by a number of citizens interested, demonstrating against the establishment of the district, which was referred to the judiciary committee.

GLIMPSE OF CONWAY'S PAST
Twenty-Fou Years Ago in This
 City.
Review of Copy of The Log Cabin Pub lished May 4, Issa-0fdcials and Busi-
 ness Men Here Then.

Successive fires have destroyed all the old files of the Log Cabin, so that few copies dated prior to 1000 are now in existence. Occa sionally, however, one turns up, and this week a copy dated May i 1882, belonging to J. R. Donnell of this city, was brought to this office. The Log Cabin was then published by it's founder, A. F. Livingston, who conducted it as a Republican paper, and was in its third year. MT, Livingston sold the plant the following year to Woods Bros. who changed 1t to Democratic organ, as 1t has been ever since.
 A review of the columns of this musty old paper will doubtless prove interesting, especially to the older citizens of the county.
 Looking over the Log Cabins directory, we find that the county officers of Faulkner county were as follows: Judge, l.. C. Lincoln; clerk, ]. " Mitchell; sheriff, J. R. Townsend; treasurer, G. T. Clifton; assessor, J. M. C. Vaughter; coro- ner, A. J. Phillips; surveyor, J. c. Lee. The township officials were E. M. Merriman, K. T. Markham and P. P. Loetscher, justices of the peace, and J. R. Williams, constable.
 The officers of the infant town of Conway were as follows: May or, John; Harrod recorder, J. A. Pence; treasurer, J. NJ. Amsden; marshal, J. T. Witt; aldermen, K. T. Markham, J. C. Gist, Jo Van Ronkel, B. F. Jones and w. D. Cole.
 M. R. Sevier was postmaster and A. J. Keathey, station agent. Two trains a day then passed through Conway, passenger train and a through freight" each way.
 While The Log Cabin was Re publican paper, it contained sever al Democratic announcements, and from its columns we gather that 6 hot political contest was on. H. G..Case and J. D. Townsend were candidates for county judge; J. V. Mitchell for clerk; J. M. C. Waugh ter and A. J. Witt for sheriff; G. w. Bruce, ]. H. Harrod and s. E. Wilson for representatives and Avery E. Moore present state auditor and J. l.. Bowen for assessor.
 The Log Cabins Business Di- rectory", which seemed to include every interest in the town, con- tained the names of sI firms and individuals. Among the business firms represented are the following general merchants: w. D. Cole F. M. Dickens, NJ. & J. Frauenthal Grizzard and Gist, Glenn X Ray, l. s. Jones, w. C. Jones X Co.,, J. E. Martin & Co.,, Robins X Co.,, Sneed &::Co., Gov. Wan Ronkel and J. N. Walton &,,Co. Burton X Townsend conducted the hardware ans tinware business of the town, and Hilliard & Go. the furniture business. Groceries were sold by Thos. Walker, A. NJ. Watkins and Jesse Witt. Drug stores were run by Brown x Co.,, A. K. Witt and \ Dr. !. F. Kincheloe. Tyler Cliff Ston and Lige Clifton were propri- { etors of meat markets. Hotels were conducted by w. E. Crosby" R. T. Markham and Mrs. M. Simp- son. Other business concerns were J. Farrar, boot and shoe
