ROCK ISLAND BE- a GINS PARkINGLAND
 ALONG TRACKS
Work Began Saturday on this Improvement Which will Add to Appcaren-
 ee of Carlisle

Mir. A. B. Cepley, Snperin- tendent, and R. E. Hernden, Roadmaster of the Rock island Lines, were in the city a few days ago, and met committee composed of H. I. Buechley, O. S. Ayers, J. l.. Woosley and others. Plans were discussed
 looking towards the parking ofH the station grounds on each
 side of the passenger station.
 Mr Copley has issued authority for this improvement and the work is already started, the city is to look after the grounds when they are put in shape by the railroad company. This will 1 be a very attractive improve ment and when it is finished 1t | is up to us all to keep it attrac tive. Don't wait on the town to
 keep it up but every one take interest keeping it watered, cui- tivated and not allow wagons to run over it. This park when finished will cover all the land along the track, to be planted m flowers and shrubbery. The railroad authorities should be commended on this move.

ASK YOURSELF
 THE QuEs TloH
Shall The Central ArkAnsas Fair Survive or Perish 7--
 Which is Best.

At a meeting of the board of directors held March 14th a report of the fiancial condition was made by the secetary.
 Owing to weather and other COZ ditions the Association has not been financially suecessful for the past two years. The anaoci ation can and will pay it's in debtedness but te do so must lose the splendid grounds snd the buildings there on. The question now is. can the people of LQnoke and Prairie Countie s afford to allow this dissolution.
 After much discussion it was decided to put the question up to those that have claims against the association to take stock for their claims and then to appeaa- to what we believe is . generous public, to contribute by subscri bing stock sufficent to warrent holding another fair. A con mittee of two from the board ant three citizens was approved to present the proposition to oul. people and their report will set tie the matter of whether the Central Arkansas Fair shall sur vive or perish.

a primary election. This much time is certainly required. It is not within the province of the ac- ting governor to determine that no primary shall be held, which would be the effect if sufficiant time is not given to hold one.
 The farmers will be very busy until their crops are partially fin ished and they probably will have as much spare time in the latter part of July as at any other sea son ot the year.
 I have received strong pro- tests against such an early date because of undue limitauion of time for 8 campaign, thereby pre- judicing the rights of candidates without an extended acquain- tance. But this is an emergency election and the usual length of a campaign cannot be indulged.
 "The interest of the whole people is the first consideration and, I think, is sufficiently cared for in the date fixed"

WHAT WANT ADS DO

The little want" advertise ment which has become so popu- lar, is a silent buyer, a silent sell CT and silent purveyor of good. It brings labor to the unemploy- ed and helps to those who desire to employ.
 It tranfers property and in a general way is responsible for p per cent of the business transac ted in the commercial world.
 It fills empty houses and brin- gs prosperity to the landlord.
 It possesses the double virtue !fa heina chean and Fnp fitatsa>
 Itgives the poor working girl ployment; itsets men up in busi' ness; itRives you an opportunity to borrow money where the rate of interest is the lowest, it tells YOU, in fact, where to go, and to which no other medium ever de yised could successfully direct you.

MORE CARE NEEDED.

1t would seem that the fire
of last Sunday would bring
forth 4 better system OF han
ding the hose wagon and the
hose. There seems to be a
tendency toward neglect Oh
the part of someone. There
is 10 fire company here at
present, and our hrenen are
voluntary, go when there is a
fire, and work hard, even
though they Go have a pressing
and cleaning bill to pay after
ward, and many are always
ready to help, but there should
at least, be one to see that the
fire hose are kept i'll place
and in readiness for quicl
work. Should the hose b.
taken out during the day /
should be put back at night
Hose costs lots of money, anC
should be taken care of, to
instance the hose used Sunday
was left lying OH the groun
for several days. There is IL
better water works to be ha
than we have, i'll proportion t
size OF the city, and we thin
the hose carts should be locke
after and cared for.

AVOID THE DEBT.

The poor and ambitious
farmer should avoid debt as he
would the "Old Harry" if that
debt be for luxuries or for liv-
ing expenses. One OF the great
curses of the South has been
the dependence OF SO many
farmers upon a crop yet un-
made for their daley subsls-
tence. The man who would
get ahead must not get i'll the
habit of eating and wearing
out things he has not paid for,
and certainly must not mort
gage his future for mere plea
sure or dissipation.
This warning against debt
does not apply, however, to
debt of investment. Indeed,
we believe in debt of this kind.
If a man can buy a piece Of
land on credit, make enough
off of it to pay interest and
something on the land, and
can thus furnish himself a
home which may be increasing
in value all the time, he should
certainly do it. Such a debt
is a sign of thrift and enter
prise, and the opportunity to
make such a purchase is oper
to any man of good reputation
in almost any community il
the South.
So, if a horse is needed, o
an implement, or anythln!
which will enable him to max
more money than he coul
without it to be able to pa
for it III a reasonable time
and not be afraid of the debt
A debt of this kind first mel
toned is a burden which mus
be carried and from which II
return can be expected. ---Th
