Novelists are just beginning to
awaken to the possibilities in the
last days of monarchical Mexico,
before Emperor Maximilian, de
j serted by France and left to die
alone, was taken out and shot,
dying like a hero. Lew Wallace
wove much of the romance of
the time into “The Fair God.”
Clarence Bennett founded his
play, “A Royal Slave,” which
will be seen at the Newport opera
house Friday, March 30, upon
I General Wallace’s famous novel,
but was not content to let mat
| ters stop there. He has not at
j tempted to paint the lily, but he
has made romance more rcxnant
) ic. His play fairly tingles with
exciting heart interest.
SHiTCfi IN SALE Of BONDS.
Jonesboro Council finds That Three
improvement Districts Must
Be f ormed tor Watei^
Light end Sewers.
j -
At Jonesboro the matter of
municipal waterworks, electric
lights and a sewerage system
has met an unexpected stum
bling block. At a recent coun
cil meeting Commissioners West
brooke and E. C. Stuck appeared
, and explained that the bonus
,1 which it had announced had been
sold would not be taken by the
, parties until the property owners
had signed separate petitions for
the water and light and the sew
' erage improvements.
This, Mr. Westbrooke ex
[ y
plained, was because there was
some wording in the law —the
improvement being referred to
as any “single improvement.”
whereas the improvement dis
trict under way comprises liter
. ally more than one or a single
: improvement, in that it contem
plated the purchase of the water
works and light plant and the
construction of sewers. The
POna purcnasera au,unit.y uau
raised this question after the de
cision had been made to pur
chase the bonds. The view of
the improvement that had been
taken by the commissioners was
that it was one improvement.
Mr. Westbrooke said that the
only remedy for this situation
was to order a new improvement
petition for each distriet—one for
the waterworks purchase, an
other for the electric light plant
purchase and another for the
construction of sewers. Mr.
Westbrooke explains that the
parties with whom the bonds are
being negotiated want them in
three portions, so that they can
be held independently. Thus
one is made for water, one for
light and the third for sewers.
