Eureka Springs Saloons Close.
Berryville, Feb. 27.—The re
monstrants won yesterday in
the fight against saloons at
Eureka Springs.
At the conclusion of the hear
ing, Wade James, attorney for
the liquor interests, addressed
the court briefly, admitting that
the petitioners did not have a
majority as required under the
Going act.
An appeal to the circuit court
was granted the petitioners, who
announced determination to take
the case to the supreme court
should they lose in the circuit
court.
The hearing progressed slow
ly. The prohis challenged al
most one-third of the names pre
sented by the liquor interests,
and the [court heard (evidence
upon each individual case before
passing upon it. Names of more
than 300 petitioners were chal
lenged.
The “prohis” succeeded in get
ting a few names stricken from
the petition, while the petition
ers gained in other ways enough
to offset this advantage.
County Judge H. N. Pitman
heard the case.
Men’s Forward Movement.
Dr. J. P. Robertson will deliv
er the address before the mem
bers of the Men’s Forward
Movement in the Methodist
church at Three o’clock. You

treats. We feel that in every
respect this organization will
prove of an inestimable value to
the churches, homes, business
houses, and that the principle of
! Brotherhood will be developed,
| and society built upon a still
| higher conception of the attrac
tive and eternal principles of
the gospel of the Prince of
Peace.
Our motto is, “Better things
for all, and all for better
things.”

that one-half the world does not know
how the other half lives. “Why don't

scarcely suppressed chuckles.
