Citizens who oppoffe sa)e
of liquor in CraigheacK county in
particular held another meeting
at the Methodist church last
night, says the Jonesboro Sun.
It was largely attended and con
siderable interest manifested.
The fight is to be made solely
on the issue of license or no
license as presented -in the Sep
tember election. Some of the
leaders in the movement assert
unlawful evils exist at present
outside of the licensed saloon,
but they say they are all connect
ed with the saloon and a direct
result of it, and that the way in
which to be rid of all is to vote
out the saloon.
A thorough canvass will be
made of the county and each pre
cinct will be worked in the in
terest of prohibition.

URGE ADOPTION
OF AMENDMENT.
Constitution Ought to Be So
Changed as to Allow Cities
To Issue Bonds.
Little Rock, July 25.—The con
vention of Arkansas—mayors at
Hot Springs Tuesday will doubt
less be well attended. The ob
ject of the meeting is to discuss
the best means of bringing out
a full vote in favor of the con
stitutional amendment author
izing cities of the first and second
class to issue bonds for internal
improvements. The recent Dem
ocratic state convention adopted
a resolution favoring the ratifica
tion of the amendment. Mayor
W. E. Lenon of Little Rock to
day gave out the following state
ment relative to the results to
be accomplished :
“I am anxious to see the pro
posed measure adopted, as ex
perience has taught us the wis
dom of it. It occurs to me that
there is very little doubt of the
ratification of the amendment
by the people. The legislature
in its wisdom has placed such
provisions around it as to make
it impossible for any city council
to issue any bonds without first
passing an ordinance stating the
amount of the bonds to be issued,
for what purpose the proceeds
are to be used and the nature of
the improvements to be made.
And then the issuing of such
bonds must be ratified by a ma
jority vote Of the citizens.

KEYSTONE OF'
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal, ■
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball Bystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
