 The writer was looking at the different homes along the street he goes into town on Monday as he walked along the side walk and thinking how beautiful the front yards could be made to look with but very little expense.

Beautify your home, make it thing of beauty and a joy forever.

HALF TO BE PAID IN CASH,

l Ihlrty thousand dollars, S15,- GOO of which is to be in cash and SIS, in material and right of way, IS what Springdale is asked to put up to secure the interur- ban road.
 At meeting of the Commer- cial Club and other interested citizens held at the Auditorium Wednesday night the above propoSltlon was submitted by the promoters of the enterprise. The gentlemen from Bentonville pres- ent were N. II. Crossland, Win lock Morris, H. W. Gipple, II. A. Leukens, ]. W. Blocker and w. F. Foran. After the matter had been discussed at some length an executive session of the club was held, and it was voted to appoint committee ef nlne 10 represent Springdale in the negotiations with the promoters of the enter prise. Ne are unable 10 give the names of the gentlemen com- posing the committee as the list is not completed al this writing. This committee was expected to hold a conference with tile Ben tonyllle gentlemen yesterday morning, and go into the matter fully and make report at anoth- er meeting of the club to be held Wednesday night of next week.
 IL is proposed to build line direct from Bentonville to Spring dale, coming by way of Lowell if the people Of the latter place desire to cooperate in securing the enterprise, and If not the line would run west of Lowell.
 In conversation with The News yesterday morning H. w. Gip- pie, who was with the Benton vile delegation, and who IS one of the most successful fruit men in Northwest Arkansas, said that he had ID doubt whatever but what the road would be built. Other members ot the delegation were equally sanguine, and II Springdale gets the road our peo- pie must get i'll line and go to work.
 After the interurban matter had been disposed of the club took up the discussion of the bridge across White River, and the movement IS progressing very satisfactorily. It was reported that the county judge had prom ised to render assistance, and one member of the club subscribed S1O0, others subscribed S25 each, and more than S200 was raised within a few minutes. There seems to be little doubt but what the bridge IS an assured fact.
