Council Meetin9 Tonight.

On account of the inclement weather the city council failed to meet last night and will meet tonight. The most important matters to be considered at this meeting are the telephone franchise, and the passing of two ordinances, one to require prop erty owners in the first district to build s foot sidewalks, and one to extend the 1 foot concrete/side- walk ordinance so as to include a portion of the residence property not mentioned in the original or dinance

Resolved: That the Club wom- en of the Arkansas do not serve spiked" punches, branded des- Serts, to use intOXicantS in any form in our homes.
 The above was introduced by the beautiful and talented young woman who is Corresponding Secretary of the Federation of WOmen's Clubs. She is also one of Jonesboro's earnest White Ribboner's, Mrs. Laura Cope land. The Resolution passed.
 We are glad to see the Club women take a step on higher ground.
 We have taken particular pains to see that the unsightly ash bar rel was removed from where it would offend the aesthetic eye, and have worked for the cleaning up of our various municipalities in material way, but we have l failed oft times to remove from Jour tables and our punch (fruice.

Chafine Dish Club.

Miss Julia Logan entertained the Chating Dish Club last eve hing at her home on Christian Ridge, and most delightful time was spent.
 The Club had as guests, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Logan and Miss Ruby Duncan.
 Progressive Bronco was in dulged, and the prize went to Miss Ethel Tompkins.
 A novel innovation in the ma. ture of nut contest was quite interesting, and the prize in this instance was awarded to Miss Florence Watson. The double parlOr was artistically decorated with ferns and cut flowers. and the refreshments of cake and cream were delicious.
 The inclement weather was the only unpleasant feature of "a most enjoyable evening.

to make effectual our prohibi- tion, The laws are for the good of all and for the good, most of all, the people .who are most in clined to violate them. The man whom drink has already enSlaved is a pitiable object. Such men would often give all they have to be freed. Thousands of such mem are today in sanitariums, where they have gone asking that the managers shut them up, and deprive them of their liberty until they are delivered from this body of death, intemperence. The law which prohibits the sale of liquors acts in the capacity of a guardian and rescuer of people whose greatest need is to be saved from themselves. Their misery is the result of their own folly, and a just retribution un- der the laws of God Their only hope is reformation, to which all good people will lend a helping hand.
 How dark then is the crime of tripping up the feet of those whom the law and good society desire to help. If men are so far led by a deathful appetite that they seek their own ruin, it's vet terrible to think that any man for money, will take advantage of one so wretched. To be,a violat or of the law of the land, a felOn justly subject to incarceration in the state prison, is a position which no man it seems, would tolerate. No man who is a party to such things reckon himself a good citizen and a worthy man.
 But if such disregard of honor and even of the law be followed for money, the time is past when money can be made by such means. To be found guilty, or even to be generally suspected of thing so diShonorable is to have the means of honorable living closed against one. The man who sells liquor is like the man that buys it, going from bad to worse, continually. Who that has become known for dishonesty or illegal dealing can experience aught but the increase of evil in tluence about him? The gather ing to him of evil associates, the shutting off from him of the ways of honor.
 Faithful enforcement of the law is for the rescue, both of the buyer and seller of liquor.
 Let our officers do their duty and all the worthy people will commend them. May we not hope that the good people of Pres colt are ready to pull all together in everything that looks to plac. ing our community on a higher moral plane, and giving our little city a better name abroad.

SCHOOL TEACHER SUED
George Harrington Did Not Like
 Chastisement ef His Son.

Bernard H. Fitzpatrick, the prin- cipal of the Margaret Croft school has been made defendant in two suits for damages brought by George E. Harrington, the cigar maker and sporting man. In each the school principal is sued for damages of 320O and the cases have been made returnable to the district court. So far 1t Is not known if any real estate attachments have been made, but the presumption Is that no such step was taken as the paper in the cases have been returned to the court while there has been no certificate of at tachment left at the town clerks office. MT Harrington brings one suit on behalf of himself and the other as guardian of his son. Both are founded upon the allegations in the latter. In this he sets forth that on last Friday. April 19, his boy George E. Harrington, jr, was whipped Dy the principal and in con- sequence various parts of his body are bruised and discolored. In the other he claims damages for the loss of the boys society and service. At torney U. c. Church Is his counsel.
 MT Fitzpatrick has not secured counsel yet. It is presumed that if he did whip the boy he did 50 in the performance of his duty as principal of the school and because in his opin- ion the boy was unruly and merited reinstatement.

QUASSAPAUG LINE
Trolley Cars VIII Moi Run In
 That Direction This Year.

The rumor which was rife a few weeks ago concerning the purchas- ing of the Waterbury and Pomper- aug Valley Railway Co by the Con- solidated concern, now appears as a reality. The dicker has been on for some time and at frequent intervals of late the story has circulated that the deal was completed. The Wa terbury-P -Pomperaug concern. which intended building the road to Wood bury at one time. thought that the cars would be running to Quassa- paug next summer, but evidently the public will be compelled to wait an other summer, as it will be impossi- ble, so the officials of the new con- cern state, to have the line going until 1908.
 The engineers state that though the force working should be doubled. the delay that would ensue because of being compelled to walt for ma terial would throw the operations back to such an extent that 1t would not be possible to get any of the summer traffic. It is estimated that the total cost of the new road will be in the neighborhood of $45O,000. The Consolidated expects to do a large amount of freight business with the new line and in time 1t is thought that the revenue from freight hauling will meet the run ming expenses of the road. The power will be furnished by the Bulls Bridge station.

BUILDING LINES 5
NsrihroP Pryper'y Not Sold on
 Account of Ordinance.

The matter of establishing build. ing lines means a great deal more than one might think at first thought. Take for example the Northrop property at the corner of West Main street and Central ave- nue. recently purchased by R. Wil- liam Hampson and Charles D. Nye, and still later reconveyed to Mrs NOrthrop. simply because there IS fifteen foot building line on Central avenue which MT Hampson and MT Nye did not know of when they made the purchase. When they became aware of the situation they found the lot too small for the kind of block they wanted to erect on 1t. The price agreed upon was $50,000, but with fifteen feet which they could not use the property depreci- ated in their estimation $5,000 or $10,0O0. What property owner is willing to make thst sacrifice for the looks of things? But it is being done right along, and some don't tumble" to what they are doing on themselves. In a few years many of the lines established some years ago will be discontinued, be- cause 1t will be plain to all that 1t would be great hardship to con- tinue the order in force.
