nuisance to many of the citizens.

as some of the skaters move with
all the speed that is possible. The
old adage, “A stitch in time
saves nine” might be well applied

Six Per Cent Interest Passes.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 23.—The

This measure seems absurd as
a lower interest rate for Jaok-^
son county than the remainder of
the state . would be unjust, dia
eriminiatiug and would make it
hard to borrow money in this
county.
