 For Enactment of Laws.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
 The next Legislature will very like ly pass law amending the Arkansas statute relating to divorces. Several members of the Senate and house al ready nominated, who have been wis iting the gubernatorial headquarters in Little Rock the past few days, stat ed they would introduce bills regulat- ing the divorce evil as existing Tn Arkansas.
