PULASKI SHOULD REDEEM
 ITS PLEDGE.

When the legislature added to Pulaski county the township of Per kins, up to that time part of Sa- line county, it was with the definite understanding that a good road would be built through the township to connect with the dollarway in Jefferson and the pike already built in Pulaski.
 {. Since that time many moons have come and gone, but thus far not a spadeful of earth has been moved in the improvement of the highway tho the commissioners of dis trict, organized for the purpose of building a good road, have been inn portuned to take action.
 The six-mile stretch of roadway is Aalmost impossible in indictment weather, and it is dangerous to tra- verse at such times.
 It is time that the people of Lit tie rock undertake to have the road improved, and thus redeem Pulacki county's pledge.
 Since just as many people from Pine Bluff and the territory south of here use the road to visit Little Rock as there are Little Rock people using the road to visit Pine Bluff it would seem that the capitalians and their newspapers could perceive the wis dom of inducing early and favorable action by the commissioners of the district.
