SvND FAMINE.

Resulting from the high wat CTS of the Arkansas and it's trib- utaries in the state, all Arkansas is experiencing a sand famine. All construction work in Little Rock has been aba ndoned until the river falls to a stage where the sand pumps of the local sand companies can be operated. There is not pound of sand to be pur- chased from any of the local dealers, and the supply in the houses of the Irou Mountain and Rock Island shops is running very low. The same conditions are reported from every town in the state which depends on the rivers for sand.

Speaking of things that should
be done in this city, j. d. White,
pastor of the Christian church
of this city, said to the News re-
porter: Il notice your questions
in the News relative to what
should be done for the city, and
there is one thing | would sug-
gest. The city council, the citi-
zenS, or some one, should have
the names of the streets at every
corner in the city, and after that
is done the houses along the
streets should all be numbered.
Nothing that can be done for us
will make better impression on
newcomer than this and in adj
dition it will assist strangers in
finding any house in town that
he wants to find. | am cOmpara-
lively a new man in the town and
it would materially assist me if
this were done, and | am sure
that it would be of as great a
benefit to others.
Anent the question propounded
in The News relative to this city
and it's general improvement, The
News reporter was talking with
Oscar Hunt and Rev. John a.
Wallace last Monday, and they
both said that an ordinance
should be passed requlringevery
citizen to cut all the weeds in his
ward. on the walk and in the
street in front of his house, and
where the lots were vacant the
owner of the lot should be re
ouired to do the same. What dC
