A Park.

The need of a park in every city
the size of Aberdeen is too obvious
to mention. The fact that our
town has made no provision for
such a necessity is painfully true.
The city is rapidly building and
every lot is being occupied by a
dwelling. Soon, there will be no
suitable territory that can be had
for a park. The city will then
realize its dereliction in this re-
spect.
The Weekly suggests again that
the /. +. Houston homestead block
is ideally sloped and located for a
park.

SIDEWALK CASE
 AGAIN UPHELD

A case of some local interest was decided by the supreme court Monday-that of the city of Stutt- gart against Gregg. In this case the right of a city to force property owners under an ordinance similar tothose passed by the city council of Conway in the past few years, was questioned. The supreme court, however, held that the city had the right to compel the building of side walks under such ordi- nances.
 While probably ten miles of sidewalk has been built by order of the council since Conway has been city of the second class, there has never been any resistance to the sidewalk ordinances, al- though in some instances the ex- pense has fallen very heavily on the poorer class ofproperty owners. Only one suit has been filed under the various ordinances, and in that case the matter was satisfactorily adjusted before it came to trial.

PRESBY1ERIANS
 MEET PAYMENT

Over $500 was raised by Rev. Wm. H. Richardson, the Presby- terian evangelist, and T. M. Moore in the past two days to meet the first payment on the Baptist church property, which was recently pur- chased by the Conway Presbyte- rians, the exact amount being S865. 50. The subscription is en- tirely cash, and does not include a large number of promises of assist ance.
 The Baptist church was bought last month for S23oo, the first pay ment of S5oo being due within 30 days. Although some of the mem bers of the Presbyterian church feared that they would have some difficulty in meeting this payment, through the splendid work of Rev. Richardson over S35o more than was immediately necessary was raised. The Presbyterians expect to make extensive improvements on their newly acquired property during the next few months and will be given possession in Septem- Der. They are offering for sale their large lot on Locust avenue, where their present house of wor- ship is located.
 Card of Thanks.
 The building committee of the Presbyterian church asks that the following card be published:
 "In behalf of the members and friends of the Presbyterian church, we desire to express our heartfelt thanks for the most liberal response that has been made by the citizens of Conway, to our appeal for funds to meet our first payment of $500 toward the purchase of the Baptist church property. We are glad to report that S865. 50 in cash has been raised. When possession of the property has been secured, it is our purpose to put 1t ln thor ough repair and make such added improvements as will, we believe, make it one of the most attractive churches in the city, and one in which every citizen can take just pride. With sincere expression of gratitude,

turning the entire sala " and mansion rent of the office over to Mrs. John s. Little, wife of the afflicted governor, after the first SIooo contingent fund was expend- ed; his salary being provided for in loan from a local bank. Refer ring to the penitentiary, the speak CT stated some appropriation should be made for the maintenance of the convicts on the farm until it could be made to sustain the en- tire convict colony and leave a revenue besides.
 On the general revenue laws, Senator Pindall stated the revenues received by the state are inadequate and expresses the opinion this was on account of taxation being re- duced after it has been levied by equalization boards. Senator Pin dall lauded the work of the equal ization boards, but suggested a constitutional amendment creat = ing a state tax commission, and that the state be made a party to each application for reduction of taxes, with the prosecuting attorney to resist the petitions and take ap- peals to higher courts. Senator Pindall said the present rate of taxation is sufficiently high but not properly distributed.
 Little was said about the state capitol, Senator Pindall. saying the egislature will soon have hand in that matter, and as the domin ant political party had made suf- ficieut expression on the subject, he had not seen fit to call special session of the legislature before the regular term. As for the charit able institutions, Senator Pindall suggested, as the governor has no control over the boards after ap pointment, he be relieved of res possibility for the acts of the board. Concerning the Arkansas railroad commission and its fight with the railroads over the two cent passen- ger fares and freight rates, Senator Pindall complimented the com mission upon its stand and refusal to compromise on the rates and advised the legislature to employ the best legal talent and provide means for fight to the end. Sen ator Pindall recommended liber- al appropriation for the assistance and maintenance of the Confederate veterans, and suggested they be listened to in their desires for special legislation.
 Senator Pindall stated he thought the state should do all possible for the University of Arkansas and and State Normal, to elevate the standard of education in the state.
 In concluding his message, Sen ator Pindall recommended a more liberal appropriation for the Ark ansas state guard, a bill making an appropriation to assist the state fair which is held annually in Hot Springs, the abolishing of the con- vice lease system, and the conser- vation of the states natural re- sources.
