GOVERNMENT WORK
ON WHITE RIVER.
i to ——-—
Since the completion of the
dam here last winter, says the
Batesville Guard, but a small
{force of men has been retained
I to put on the finishing touches.
'These have been engaged in
.building a new hull for the
dredgeboat Van Frank, which
.was launched Saturday afternoon.
In a little while the machinery
and upper parts of the boat will
be transferred to the new hull
and the dredge, which is the
principal tool used in this work,
will be ready for business.
About the 1st of July Capt. Par
kin will move his headquarters
to lock 2, eight miles above here,
and put a force of 150 to 200
men to work finishing the dam
there. He will be employed |
there until late in the fall.
Only about twenty men are
employed on lock 2 now. Dur
ing the low water season this!
summer a modern fishway, plans
for which have been secured
from the fish commission at
Washington, will be built in the
dam here so the fish now detain
ed here by the filling up of the
way first built may pass on up
the river.
SISTER LUCYS’
ANNUAL OUTING.
The Sister Lucy club, an or
ganization for fishing and outing
purposes solely, will not take
their annual trip up White river

cepted the invitation of the Kno
bel club to use their club house
on Corning lake, a mile south of
Corning on the Iron Mountain
road, says the Little Rock Demo
crat.
They left Little Rock Sunday
morning to spend three or four
days fishing on the lake. The
party consisted of the following
members: Messrs. W. T. Tyler,
H. C. Bateman, George McLean,
F. W. Tucker, J. B. Bateman,
T. J. Jackson, Asa R. Bragg, F.
M. Fletcher, Oscar Davis, Zeb
Ward, J. Rudy Smith, Arthur

OLD ENOUGH TO
KNOW BETTER.
Eureka Springs, June 5.—Ver
mon C. Wetmore of Fairfield,
Conn., and Miss Alta Smeltzer of
this city were married Saturday.
Miss Smeltzer was for twenty
years missionary to Mexico and
the couple never saw each other
until they met at the station on
the groom’s arrival here to carry
out their marriage compact, the
result of a year’s correspondence
brought about by the bride’s
former pastor, who met Mr. Wet
more in Cuba.
