PROPERTY OWNERS
FAIL TO RESPOND

On pc proposition submitted to
the citzens last week by the com.
mittes9of cOuucilmer, relative to
the cp'crete walk to extend from
4th street on the south side, to the
school house, the committee reports
that several property owners along
the sgee'S refused to assist in de.
frayiag the expenses IN any way.
Undet conditions such as these and
with 40 almost depleted treasury,
the Walk cannot be built this year.
1t has been suggested, however,
that a citizens meeting composed of
those VINO reside in the immediate
vicinity Of the proposed walk, be
called and see what amount can be
raised by public subscription in
that way The council is ready
and willing to have this work done
if enoFg.s assistance can be secured
from the outside, but they are not
willing to contract a large debt for
this particular piece of work and
neglect much.neeied work In other
parts Of the town. They would
not object to spending $1,000 on
the proposition if the citizens will
make up the remainder.

urged to advertise free tuition to
qualified pupils of the county and
endeavor to secure as many of them

statement Of their financial plans
for the current year-the amount
of money to be received from all
sources and the purposes for which

advantages to be obtained any
where. The reputation Of this
school stands without a peer in
northeast Arkansas and it gives us
great pleasure to announce that We
are IN the position to make thls
offer to the ambitious boys and
girls Of Randolph county.
Good board can be secured in
the best Of homes here for from
$40 to SI2 per month.
If you contemplate attending

Judge Breckenridge from hearing the
mandamus suit of NJ. T.. Cline against
the Board of County Commissioners
to require them to approve Of his
bond of $4,000 as clerk Of the Su-
perior Court, the proceedings came
to an abrupt halt yesterday morn

nounced that he would not entertain
the motion to disqualify him in court
In the present shape OF the motion.
The hearing will be continued at Q
o'clock this morning The attorneys
for the County Commissioners an
nounced that they would amend their
petition and present II in different
form today.
The motion to disquaify Judge
Breckenridge was based on a number
of grounds. and the court announced
that ne would dsqualify himself on
the grounds that he was interested to
n certain extent in the case, but no
no other grounds.

The suit of Bailiff Wilder Is slightly
different from the others. as he was

however, gave explicit directions that
