VOTE FOR ACT NO. 8.

As a taxpayer, it is your personal and individual interest that the re- ceipts and expenditures of county city and improvement districts be PUBLISHED. Even if you don't care to analyze or ecent read the reports, the very fact that they HAVE TO BE PUBLISHED is what is important to your interests. The official who knows that every financial transac- ltion of his office is going to have to be PUBLISHED in the newspaper of his county, is going to be an ECONOM- lCAL, CAREFUL and more EFFI- GENT public servant, no matter
 what his conduct might be if no pulp licity were required by law. Act No. 3 to be voted on in September is the
 act that requires publicity in public

Stories Old and New.

Some men are born story tellers, some achieve the story telling faculty. while others-who constitute great majority-Can only sit in amaze ment and listen to the man who can glibly reel them of, one after another, as if they were all new, fresh and original. You can recognize gooc story by the number of times you meet it, for the good story is picked up and repeated, interchanged, en- larged, improvised and spread, until it is liable to reappear, as natural, or in disguise, at the four corners of the earth, and at widely separated periods of time That's what makes the modern story teller such delight, because until he finishes you cannot know whether you are about to meeS an old friend or be initiated into
 novel mysteries. The redeeming fea- ture of it is that every year another crop of listeners grows to maturity for whom the old ones are always new, and who, in consequence. Enust be the perpetual Inspiration and tSe liv- ing encouragement to the story telaer.

 Escort of Soldiers.

1. baby was arrested and by means of a formidable looking order, property signed, sealed and delivered, the gov ernor of the town of Kursk, in cen,ra Russia, has made himself sufncien'y ridiculous to insist upon the solemn deportation, under stern escort oi armed soldiers. of an innocent two year-old baby boy! The child IS the son of a Jewish dentist, M. Roman. The latter. with his wife. was ordered to leave the town few days ago. The couple complied with the order but left their infant son with fr1ends, as he was in too delicate state or health to travel during the cold weather. Under the pretext that Jew ish children must not live without their parents outside certain pre- scribed area, the jealous police ar rested the baby and ordered the friends of M. Kohan to take immediate steps to send the boy away. M. Kohan's friends asked for delay so that they might communicate with the parents, but the governor ordered the baby to be sent away under an armed escort comprised of soldiers with fixed bayonets. This implies travelling with criminals in rough conveyances and sleeping in prisons ep route until the infant reaches hls parents -..-~..c.

ROAD WORKING
 IS POSTPONED

On account of the failure of a new grading machine to reach Conway in time and the inability to secure other tools, County Judge J. w. Holt has postponed the road working set for next Monday on the Conway Martinville road until some day in August, to be decided upon later. An other reason for the postponement, Judge Holt says, is that the ground is so dry and hard at this time that it would be difficult to work the roads properly. All who wish to work, how ever, will find the road overseers on duyt and may report to them, Judge Holt says.
