To the Voters of the South Paris Village

Corporations:
During the past year your Water Com
mission have handled the affairs of their
department as best they could, and the
results are shown in the reports of the
superintendent and treasurer.
We have made short extension from
the water main on Pleasant street, and
installed a hydrant on the property of
Burnham & Morrill, Co., and another
hydrant on Western avenue. Both these
hydrants are needed for the protection Of
property, and 80 your Commission had
them installed.
The new work this year has cost the
corporation about $3.50, and $500 has
been paid on the notes outstanding, be-
sides the running expenses and interest
charges, which makes a fair showing.
We hired Mr.. Bowker for superintendent
at a salary of $500, which he has uu.
doubleday earned, as he does all the col
lecting, as we'll as looking after the
system.
The entire system is in good shape
now, but there are yet some service pipes
that need renewing, as they are badly
filled with rust.
We recommend again that the hours
for sprinkling lawns and street be fixed
to some particular hours of the day dur
ing the dry months. We further recon-
mend the buying of an electric thawer as
soon as the corporation thinks it can be
afforded. A first-class thawer will cost
about $500 to 1925. A thawer would
save an immense lot Of digging in case of
small pipes freezing, and in case of the
main ever freezing, would be necessity.
Respectfully submitted,

SAYS STATEMENT
WAS NOT CORRECT
ED S. LOCKETT COMMENTS ON
STORY PUBLISHED IN RUS
SELLVILLE PAPER.

With reference to the statement
given out by j. H. Hurley and pub
lished in the Russellville Courier
Democrat several days ago, to the eff
feet that there was foundation for the
report that Ed S. Lockett of Conway
and W. l.. Hurley of Hector had
formed a partnership to engage in the
mercantile business, Mr.. Lockett, who
returned last night from trip in the
interest of his wholesale house, said
to the Log Cabin Democrat today
that, while it was true the partner
ship as planned had been abandoned,
it was also true that an arrangement
for such a partnership had been made.
This is substantiated by a letter
which Mr.. Lockett has from Mr.. Hur-
ley.
"Mr. Hurley and l decided late in
December to engage in this business"
said Mr.. Lockett, "although it was
understood at the time that the part
nership would not actually be formed
until about the first of March. On
the Bird of January received letter
from Mr.. Hurley stating that owing
to i'll health he would be unable to
ente rthe partnership as We had
planned. l then changed the name of
the business here from Hurley-Lock-
EFT Company to the Lockett Mercan-
tile Company, but thought it unneces-
sary to give publicity to the fact that
the partnership plans would be con-
summated. AS to the story in the
Russellville paper, as republished in
the Log Cabin Democrat, | would say
that Mr.. Hurley's brother, who gave
out the statement was either misouot-
ed or misinformed as to the facts in
the case. The friendship between Mr..
Hurley and myself has continued and
| have had several letters from him
since that time which prove this to be
the fact"
Mr.. Lockett, who is travelling
salesman fol the Geyer-Adams Com
pany of Little Rock, has been making
this territory for a number of years
and has made his home in Conway for
the past year. He has many friends
in Conway who have, the highest re-
gard for his business and personal in
tegrity.

Helena, Jan. 20-L. Z. Howard,
commissioner of agriculture for this
county, returned here Wednesday aft

where he secured a number of boil
weevils for the purpose of making a
test of their ability to withstand ex-
treme cold weather. Mr.. Howard had
in his possession about so or more
specimens. The weevils were placed
on radiator in the Board of Trade
rooms. After five and one-half hours,
in which every condition of heat was
applied in an effort to thoroughly
prove the test, the fact was made
plain that the insects were dead. Pick
ing several of them up in his hand

For the purpose of forming plans
for a model demonstration farm in
connection with the Martinville pub

crop, cultivated by pupils and patrons
OF the school, under the government
plans of agriculture, will be grown.
The demonstration agents of the two
counties have been invited to join in
supervising the cultivation of the plot
