The Conway high school football aggregation tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock will meet the State Normal eleven, on the Normal field.

IS A CANDIDATE FOR
 HOUSE POSTMISTRESS

Mrs. Anna H. Pittman, daughter of Judge and Mrs. P. H. Prince of this city, has informed her friends that she will be candidate for the posi- tion of postmistress of the lower house of the Arkansas legislature, which convenes next January. It would be difficult for the members to secure a more efficient person for the position, as Mrs. Pittman has passed the postal civil service examination and has had much experience in the handling and distribution of mail in the local post office. Judge Princes wide acquain- tance over the state and the fact he is former member of the house also will doubtless bring much support to Mrs. Pittman, and her friends here feel that she will have a strong chance for election.

 NOT BE COLLECTED.

 A total of $15, 400 in betterments is levied against the various parcels of property within the district, but it is estimated that it will not be necessary to collect more than about two-thirds of this amount. The cost of the inn provelnent Is not expected to exceed lS10,000, and the interest on the bond issue will almost, if not quite, be paid l by the city, which under a resolution
 adopted some time ago, agreed to pay $100 annually for each S4,000 expend- ed in paving. Under this agreement
 district No. 3 will receive S250 annu-
 ally, or $2,500 for the 10 years it is expected the bonds will run.
 l The assessment will remain on file
 for period of 30 days, at the end of
 which time the city council will hear
 any complaints which may be filed by
 dissatisfied property owners. After
 these are disposed of and the assess
 ment approved the bonds may be is-

 already let to P. J. Connolly of Fl
 Reno, Okla, contract for the paw
 ing. The work will be begun as soon
 as the bonds can be issued, which, it is thought, will be about December 1.

 -Vaeanees Not Filled

New York. Oct. 1.-Two more di- Skinner and Morton F. Plant-of the New York. New Hay- en and Hartford Railroad Company, resigned today at the meeting of the. board of directors here.

 MT. Plant was elected a director in January, 1918. and he also is large stockholder in the company, but dur ing the past year 1t has been difficult for him to participate in the numerous meetings because of absence from New York, on account of his health, which however, is improving.
 "Mr. Skinner has been and is a large stockholder of the company and his personal interests were identical with those of the company. For that reason he has remained a director longer than he otherwise would considering other very large interests demanding his per- sonal attention"
