The City Council should pass an ordinance, and enforce 1t, requiring property owners in the residence dis tricts to have all gates open to the inside. It is a common occurrence for pedestrains to collide with gates left swinging out onto the sidewalks and many being of iron they cannot see them at night. There are several instances where persons have been painfully bruised by coming in con- tact with these nuisances. The iron gate is the chief nuisance as half of them are provided with imperfect latches and are almost always left open across. the sidewalk.

The attention of the City Council is again called to the necessity Of compelling the Cotton Belt railroad to erect gates at the intersection of Main street and Third avenue. Per- sons driving or walking North or South at that point can only see passing train after they are in im- mediate danger fagman is on duty there, but he does not offer the proper protection. By erecting gates that would open and close automati- cally at that crossing. the railroad company would prevent loss of life and damage to property which is sure to occur in the near future. The crossing is veritable death trap and the Council should take immediate action to protect women and children, especially. against the danger.

and without foundation. He says that to pledge himself for any office which
 would have to be filled by him as Mayor would not be consistent with his principles of Progress and a Square Deal For Every Man. He says he has made no promises, is obligated to no one person and that he would probably not select the heads of the various city departments until he went into the Mayors office. He will not take the chair if elected, until the first week in April and he would have three months in which to make appointments. He says he will pick out the best men for the heads of departments that could be found and that he will name men
 whose honesty and ability cannot be
 questioned. Dr. Caldwell says that the opposition is realizing his strength in his present race and that
 they are resorting to any and all re- |ports to injure him. "I find nothing but encouragement on every side" he
 said. and my election is assured.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

{Adopted by the Ross Moore Baraca Class.)
 Whereas in the mysterious order of Divine Providence, our well-beloved teacher and pastor, Rev. Ross Moore, has been called from earth to Heaven; and,
 Whereas, our brother was power in example, love and effective leader ship in the work of the Gospel in it's every bearing and feature; and, Whereas, he was heart to heart and soul to soul in active work, not only with his church and his Baraca class, but all other good influences, Therefore, be is resolved:
 That by the death of our brother and leader, we have suffered per sonal as well as general loss to the congregation, and to the religious in- terests of the community, and society, l a beautiful character. and the Baptist church of Arkansas minister of great power and of active leadership. That our loss is the more serious because of his unbounded usefulness, not only to his own brotherhood, but Ito the whole people in whose behalf his work, his service and his sonl
 were sacrificedly committed. ] That the life of our brother was singularly beautiful in that he ap- peared by word and deed to be devot- ed and consecrated, not merely to his church and dts organizations, but also
 to the divine principle of sympathy
 and service for humanity.
 That he stood before the world as
 an amiable spirit, genial companion, a faithful friend, a model gentleman,
 and that his inspiring presence and
 daily sacrifices in behalf of the Faith,
 illustrate tho ideal of a fearless hero
 in the cause of righteousness, a gen.
 erous neighbor. a devoted husband
 and father, and a man, who, like
 Paul, could we'll say in the presence
 of death, T have fought good fight; I have finished my course; I have |kept the Faith; hencedorth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteous
 ness. which the Lord. the righteous
 judge, shall give me at that day, and
 not only to me. but unto all them also that love His. appearing"
 That the life of our brother and Header will ever be before us to glad- den and to exalt our ideals of a mod el christian character. and that we know we have the fellow-sentimept of other churches and creeds who will unite In honoring him as one who loved his fellow anan.
 That our class of his. devoted |brethren. express to tho stricken fam lily our profound feelings os sympathy |and sorrov, end that we will contin- . .ts < tzsss l-E 4 a
