WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.

Editor Graphic: A telephone mes sage early this morning brought n1e the news that I was expected to con- tribute letter to the Sunday Graphic's City Beautiful department. As supervisor of the district from Cypress street to the city limits and from Fourth avenue to the city limits, which you will see takes in almost half of Jefferson county, as on the west the city limits extend three and a half miles, taking in a large vegetable farm, a sawmill and other industries and in the South to Twentieth street. the work accom- plished in these districts has been marvellous. Yards and vacant lots have been cleaned and unsightly rubbish removed and an air of clean
 illness and thrift peImestes alm9st every home.
 The great difficulty that con- fronts Us is the drain along the rail- road track, Which at thls season of the year is filled with stagnant water l of a greenish hue that is not only unsanitary and dangerous to the health of those in the vicinity, but also greatly endangers the health of the frogs that infest the holes in large numbers, The City Fathers are the ones, l suppose, to take up the matter with the proper authorities. The work of the City Beautiful Club is we'll in hand and in a few months we hope to have out yards,~ streets and public places blossoming like a flower garden.
 Probably there is nlo organization
 in the city that is attracting SC

OUR OPPORTUNITY,
Editor of the Grarhtc:

Editor of the Granhtc:
 The City Beautiful Club would like to see our city thoroughly cleaned and beautiful. Especially would we be pleased to see her present clean and fair face to the world on the oc- casicn. II is true the large gather ing will he in Little Rock, but several railroad officials told Us that of the 45,o00 expected 10000 were coming either as home seekers or looking for investments
 This class is drawn by the cheap rates and will naturally visit 'dhe towns adjacent to Little Rock. Any one will be attracted by a clean, sanitary city rather than one where the streets and gutters are filled with papers and trash A friend visiting me last Fall asked in a sur prised tone what caused so many papers on the streets I could only

or boxes. We sincerely trust this order will be strictly enforced, for it is disgrace to our city to see the trash, loose paper, etc., lying all over our streets, especially in the down town district.
 Tn regardA to the driveway and walk to both Cemeteries, am glad to say that I don't think there is any doubt but what same will be built, for, with very few exceptions, every body, both small and large property owners, is enthusiastic over the pro- position. I found one man who op- posed it, and told him that not many years from now all the real esta @ he would have any use for would be it. out in the Cemetery, and he ought not to object to having a good driveway and walk to same so his relatives or friends left behind could drive or walk out occasionally and weep over his grave and plant some evergreens and flowers.
 Your paper, in fact all the city papers, has been doing and I know is still willing to do, ell it can to help the City Beautiful Club to clean up and beautify cur city, and I hope you will keep up the good work un- til we have the cleanest and most healthful city in the south.

 The Union Station is in very un- sanitary condition; I personally re- uuested that it have immediate at tenitidn and was promised that it would have I visited the station yesterday morning and cant find that conditions have improved any at all. This is really a matter for sant- tary officer rather than a F'CitY Beautiful Club.' The ladies of my Committee are going to plant q hedge and flowers in the lot back of the Union Station this fall. I, as chair man of this committee, have raQues7- ed the railr1ad company to furnish the labor and fertilizer for this pur- pose and have a response from MT Atwood to the effect that he would recommend that his company do this.
 I would like to call attention to the condition of the railroad on Fourth avenue from the crossing through the city This road bed needs attention Whether it is the duty of the railroad company to do this work or the city council, I am l ab1a 4o say hut would like for hoth or I ganizatiens to take notice and whose ever business it is to give this at tention, we would respectfully re- quest them to do SO The weeds should be cut along the roadbed as we'll as the grass. The roadbed should be filled up level with the street, at least at all the crossings and the appearance of the street would be very much improved if the roadbed was filled up all the way

IS DOING GREAT GOOD
To the Editor of the Daily Graphic


 The City Beautiful Club, while somewhat discouraged, has been in- strumental in doing great good. The city has been gone over, not as thoroughly as we could wish, but any lone can See great improvements have been made. Most of the streets, al leys and sidewalks have been cleaned up, also grounds surrounding public buildings schools, etc, and we want the citizens to know that we are going to keep on until we suc- ceed, not only in beautifying our city, but is making it more healthy. All parties who do not keep their places clean and sanitary will surely be re- ported to the city authorities. We were badly disappointed because our City Fathers did not see proper to put on street cleaners for the busi- ness part of the city Hope they will yet see their way clear to do ao so.
 want to call the especial atten- ton of all property owners to their vacant lots, and earnestly request where they have not already done so, that they clean up these va cant lots, fix terraces, and fill in and grade the spaces between the sidewalks and curb. We notice a good many have not done so, and we hope they will attend to this at once.
 We would kindly ask our sani. tary officer MT. A. P. Turney, tl keep his eyes (also nose) open, and see that all the people (no excep' tion) keep their back yards, closet: and everything about their premises clean and sanitary.
 Glad to know that the Counci ordered the merchants to quit sweep ing their trash out into the streets and to putt same into covered cans

anu judged rightly. as events proved,
that the recital of this incident from
my lips would convince my wife as
nothing else could, that was right in
believing that Terhune had come at
length to see that love, more than any
thing else in the world-even fortune
was the only thing worth considering
when 1t came to a question of getting
married.
Don't you see" ended, "he refused
to do as suggested, refused to go and
ask Agatha First, although he believed
thoroughly that she would accept him,
solely because he was IN love with
Agatha Sixth, and would rather have
had no fortune at all than a fortune
with any other girl?" l laid my hand
on her arm appealingly. My last trump
had been played, but not in vain.
Grasping my meaning with lightning
like rapidity, Dearest was on the in
slant all action. "The time. Wilfred,
the time!" she urged, her cheeks
afiame, her gray eyes black.
"Six minutes of one," answered, as
she pulled the watch from my hands.
Archibald Terhune! DO you hear
that?" she almost shouted to Arch in
uncomfortable excitement. "Its six
minutes of one! Find Agatha Sixth and
ask her to marry you, for heavens
sake!" Then, as Terhune only stood
and stared at her with dropped jaw,
she stamped her foot vehemently.
Don't stand and stare like that!"
she cried. do as I say! Hurry! Run
! for your life!R
And Arch was gone at the word,
though don't think he had until then
any idea that there was still time to re.
trieve the day and a fortune.
To do him justice, don't think he
had any other thought subsequent to
Brancepeth's story and the revelations
that followed in regard to Agatha
Sixth's reason for refusing him, than
that che was more likely to change her
min, and marry him after all, since
he, suspicious had proved unfounded.
And this thought, to give him all his
due, had been sufficient to make him
happy without any thought of his
aunt's property. In fact, / think he
