CASTING VOTE
J OF ARKANSAS.
When the nine presidential
electors met at the state capitol
IVpnday to cast the vote of Ar
kansas for Parker, Tillman B.
Parks was delegated to make the |
trip to Washington, D. C.
The Paragould Soliphone wants
to know what’s the use, and sug
gests that the vote be sealed and
mailed to David Bennett Hill
with the broad instruction “to
do as he darn please, for that
was what he did in St. Louis at
the convention, in spite of the ;
fact that we had a governor, two
United States senators, a half
dozen congressmen, a supreme
court judge and lot of small-fry
politicians there to look after the
job.”
JACKSON’S DELEGATES
TO CONVENTION.
County Judge E. L. Boyce has
named the following delegates
from this county to the Good
Roads state convention, which
meets in Little Rock January

SEARCY JUBILANT
OVER PROSPECTS.
Searcy, Jan. 10. —The people
of Searcy are very much elated
over the news which comes from
the Rock Island officials. It now
seems a certainty that this road
will be extended to Leslie within
a short time and it would not be
surprising if work was com
menced in the early spring.
PRELIMINARY TRIAL
NOT NECESSARY.
The inquest jury upon the re
mains of Tom Daniels bound his
slayer, Chester Flenall, over to
the next grand jury and refused
to allow bail. Upon reference to
the law it was later found that a
preliminary hearing was not nec
essary to hold the defendant.

POWELL PUSHING
COTTER’S CLAIMS.
That Cotter is getting a great
deal of free advertising and has
been for some time is no concern
of neighbor towns and a matter
they have no reason to object to,
but rather is this evidence of
thrift and progress to be com
mended.
But why should railroad offi
cials countenance and encourage
the dissemination of information
that over-reaches the truth and
is positively misleading? For
instance, a Little Rock paper
this week in an interview with
Right-of-Way Agent W. V. Pow
ell gave it out under big head
lines that while he did not know
(mark that) where the Spring
field extension would strike the
White River road, it was a set
tled fact that Jefferson City,
Springfield, Cotter and Little
Rock would be freight division
points and Jefferson City, Cotter
and Little Rock passenger divis
ion terminals.
Keep your eye on Cotter, which
is IT in cap letters, going or com
ing by passenger or freight. As
Powell very truthfully says, it is
not yet known where the Spring
field paper road that has as yet
only a map existence will strike
the White River road, then why
give it out flat that Cotter gets
the division and make the next
one the preposterous distance of
207 miles?
Where does Newport come in,
seems very pertinent. With
Cotter 124 miles away it doesn’t
look just right to ante-over us
for an additional 83 miles to Lit
tle Rock.
The way to get official adver
tising in the sense of coming
from officials is to donate a few
lots to these men who abuse
a newspaper interview and talk
for their only personal gain in
boosting a town where they have
property interests.
Wood & Ward, “those famous
funny fellows,” lived up to their
advertised reputation, so those
say who attended the show Tues
day night. The trick wheel rid
ing was the star specialty, and
the company left next morning
for Batesville.
W. M. Cranston, in the employ
of the Kelley Lumber Company
for several years, writes from
Spokane, Wash., to inquire of
his old friends. He also en
closes a clipping from the Spo
kane Times giving an account of
the Newport lynching under a
four-fleck head.

given up housekeeping and are
boarding at the Hazel, prepara
tory to moving to Marksville,
La. Their departure is a hard
event to become reconciled to
with their many friends, who
hope, however, their new home
may prove a pleasant one.
“The ‘Midnight Express’ should
carry a sleeper and diner,” says
the Little Rock Democrat, “for
patrons who stay through the
four acts are entitled to all ac
commodations. ’ ’ The above
mentioned “express” made a
stop here recently, but we haven’t
heard of any efforts being made
to have the stop made regular.
