At one of their recent meetings the
young men passed a resolution ad-
hitting the young ladies into their
circle.
Among the many things the leg
iSlature could do for the benefit of
Arkansas would be to repeal few
of the laws, instead of making new
ones. We think the late Publicity
Act, one of the biggest CRAFTS the
people have had imposed upon
them, should be the first to feel the
keen edge of the repeating hook.
And should it not be repealed for
the entire state, we trust that our
representative will take the matter
up in behalf of Sharp county and
try to exempt this county from
such monstrous imposition.
