Mr. A. J. Dodson, who runs a one
horse dray, had a lively experience
and a narrow escape from drowning
Saturday evening. He was backing
up to the bluff bank of the river be
low the cedar yard to dump some
garbage into the river, when his
horse, wagon, himself and the whole
load went into the water. The river
was up and the current strong and it
looked as if all was over with them
for a while. Mr. Bill Williams was
near by and broke loose a boat and
rescued Dodson and the horse. The
wagon and harness were left in the
river.—Batesville Bee.

FRISCO STRIKES MARIANNA.
Frisco Accepts First Survey For Its
Memphis—New Orleans Line
By Way of Marianna.
The Frisco system will construct its
Memphis—New Orleans trunk line
directly through Marianna, Ark., as
at first announced, though for a few
days there appeared some doubt as to
f just what route it would take through
Lee county. The initial survey pass
ed directly through Marianna, while
the second one passed two miles to the
east of the town. The first survey
has been selected as the one to be
used.
The Frisco made a proposition to the
Marianna Board of Trade early in Jan
! uary that the line would be built di
rectly through the town if that organ
I ization would guarantee the right-of
j way through and to the south line of
! Lee county. To accept that proposi
j tion and secure the new road, it was
i necessary for the Board of Trade to
I secure subscriptions aggregating 610,
000. These subscriptions were slow in
coming up, so the Frisco engineers set
about making a second survey east of
the town and on a better grade to get
over the ridge on which Marianna is
built. After this second survey was
started the Board of Trade committee
handling the subscription lists became
anxious lest the road be lost, so it re
newed the canvass for the remainder
of the subsidy fund. The committee
work was about concluded last week
with the securing of the full amount
necessary. Having made the original
proposition to go through the town,
the Frisco will not use the second sur
vey passing to the east.

Lineus Hogg went out to look for the
negroes and found them in a negro
saloon. They were placed under ar
rest and the Newport officials notified.
They arrived at midnight and took the
negroes back Tuesday morning.
