_____i
also for Berry by reduced ma
jority. Little and Rogers ran
about together.
PHILLIPS GOES STRONG.
Phillips county by a tremend
ous majority of 500 lines up
for Berry.
JEFFERSON SAME AS EVER.
Jefferson county went for
Berry over Davis 3 to 1. but
Little won out by large majority.
MONROE FOR BRUNDIDGE.
Berry and Little have carried
Monroe on estimates from re
turns not yet in. Brundidge
carried Clarendon by 4 to 1, but
Oldfield had a big majority in
Brinkley. Brundidge and Crock
ett carried county by probably
300.
PRAIRIE FOR DAVIS.
Prairie from meagre returns
at hand has gone for Davis, Lit
tle and Oldfield by good majori
ties. This county has always
been a Davis stronghold.
PULASKI FLOPS ON DAVIS.
The capital city and Pulaski
county this time flopped away
from the Governor, Berry’s es
timated majority in the county
being 450. What Little Rock
did to Abington was sufficient
and the returns indicate the
election of the entire legislative
ticket endorsed by the business
men of the city. Rogers too
carried Pulaski bv a safe plural
ity.
DUAL PRIMARIES.
In Poinsett, the Davis and
anti-Davis feeling was so bitter,
Of
course each crowd carried their
own election.
CLAY COUNTY FOR DAVIS.
Governor Davis has probably
carried Clay by a small majority
and Rogers too has won. the
county.
OUACHITA FOR SEVIER.
Sevier carried his home county
by a fair majority over Little.
This is probably his oniy county.
ST. FRANCIS FOR DAVIS
St. Francis as of old stayed
with the governor, giving him
his old majorities from most
precincts. Forrest t ity was
close between Davis and Berry,
i Rogers and Little.
CRAWFORD FOR LITTLE.
' One of the suprises of the elec
tion came from Crawford county,
1 the old home of Rogers, which
has gone for Little. Close be
tween Davis and Berry. Two
years ago, this county went for
, Wood by a large majority.
HEMPSTEAD FOR BERRY.
E::-Senator Jones’ county lined
up for his old colleague Berry
and probably for Little by close
vote.
CONWAY FOR DAVIS.
Conway still clings to her ido!
. .4
and the governor has beaten
Berry there 2 to 1. It is a large
county and polls a big vote.
OTHER DAVIS COUNTIES.
Chicot, Johnson, Bradley,
Baxter, Searcy, Greene, Howard
and Carroll counties have all
lined up for Davis and Little
by good majorities.
SOME CLOSE COUNTIES.
Indications point to very small
and inconsequential majorities
for either Berry or Davis in
Arkansas,Crittenden,Boone, M i s -
sissippi, Marion, Izard and Stone
counties.
BERRY CARRIES BENTON.
In his home county, Berry will
come out 750 votes to the good,
so late returns indicate and
Washington county will give him
250 majority. Little carried,
both counties by large majorities.

Contract for Sprinkling.
The sprinkling of Che streets
Gf this city has never been done
upon any systematic basis. One'
man probably paid for a privil
ege that his equally able neigh
bor also enjoyed, and - to put ail
on the same footing, the water
company this year proposes to
make contracts for the season
from April 16 to November 1
and to sprinkle only those blocks
where the property owners or
renters are willing to subscribe
for the service for that time.
And as stated, unless the people
are willing to get together, there
may be no street sprinkling,
whereas if all pay a proportion
ate rate to the frontage of their
property and guarantee it for
the season by subscribing to
such a contract, general service
may be secured without the cost
falling heavily upon any indi
vidual.
