The NtNs deepty regrets the au- verse advertising that SpringdaIe is getting as Il result of the publication Of the proceedings Of the City 6oun- ciI, and is wiling to accept any sug- gsstioas ttat mieht tead to alleviate tha trouble.

 )rin glle has ne e had a better paaoa offer than Bud Avis; he has given the city more service sinee he was elected to fill the vacancy oaus- ed by the resignation of Cd I4.chly tar, than any other one man. He has been on the job continually. aEd as a result of his work Springd jIe is one O the cleanest tow $ in this seeticn Of tae state There +, less bsst-ley gins gong oa. in Spriasd ae now taaE at any time in the ptst five years, and credit must be si el Marshal Al- wis for his work aloas ta.s line.
 It is also true thu MtrEhal Avis is dallty-sherif af " t-hiaetan corr ty, beiag apaoi ted b. : .eri a#esto. soms eight weeks a2o h this ca9ac ity he is given blsser sceIe ia which tj work, i e is able to da the work O pease officer win mlleA greater sasetY to himself than if he o ay carried Il commission as ei.y marshal The News dess not agree with Mayor Lane ia bis contention that Avis is putt ns in too much ot his time serving Washington eparty. He has done very title work il th4s capacity but what he mas done has been entirely satisfactory, and he should not b. censured for it.
 The News thinks il is time tFtat these petty differences, if such they can be called. that now exist between Mayor Lane and Marshal Avis be forgotten. If they cant be forgotten 1t is time that they were being reie- gated 10 the rear, and the affairs ol springdale given first consideration In cases of this Xii citizens of the town are prone to take sides. neigh, Dor cannot agree with neig'hbor, and or town suffers in consequence.
 There has never been time in the history of Sprinsdale when the town So much needed cooperative work on the part Of all officials to- wards a better Sprinsdale as it does today. All eyes are OH Arkansas al the present time, and more especial ly the nortbesat portion One Of the biggest fruit crops n the history Of this section will soon he market cd, homeseekers are coming into oul little town every day. and unless we can get the municipal affairs out ot their present tangle. our neighbor- ing towns will profit by our misfor tune.
