costliest Ever Held.

mo Thirty-sixth session of the Gen. o.oi Assembly of the state of Arkan- eos was the longest in duration and sso costliest in the history of the s+ota The session lasted one hun dred and twenty days, as against the ano hundred and fourteen days of the session of 1905, which, up to that lime was the longest ever held. De cnite it's great length, the present ses- oion of the legislature will not have os many acts to it's credit on the .tatute books as preceding sessions, but on the other hand, it will have the renutation of being the assembly that nassed the greatest number of import ant acts. The session just passed has also the distinction of having had four governors of the state in the four months that it was in session. When the assembly convened the second week in January, Jeff Davis WAS the executive of the state. The second day of the legislature marked inc inauguration of John s. Little who, in turn was succeeded by the president of the Senate, John Ike Moore The last executive was the lieutenant governor elected by the upper house, X. o. Pindall.
