NOT CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. I
Hon. J. V. Bourland of Ozark was
one of the distinguished visitors who
were in Little Rock Monday.
A Gazette man asked him about the |
report that he would be a candidate
for governor.
“I have received considerable en-!
eouragement to make the race for
governor next time,” said Judge
Bourland, “but I have never said up
to this time that I would or would not
be a candidate for that office, but I
desire to say now that I have made
up my mind definitely to make the
race for attorney general, instead of
for governor, and at the proper time
will announce my candidacy.”
THE RAILROAD WORK.
Track laying on the White River
railroad has reached very near to
Sylamore, forty miles west of this
point. Some bridge work just beyond
Sylamore will delay the further pro
gress of track laying for a few days.
About 1500 men are at work on the i
line between Sylamore and Buffalo !
City, a distance of fifty miles.
Engineer Devereux returned from
Marion county on Friday of last week,
where he had spent some days, in
company with Chief Engineer Row
her, in selecting a route for the road
beyond McBee. The route up the
valley of the Fallen Ash is regarded
as the most favorable, although the
final selection has not yet been made.
This route would carry the road with
in two miles of Yellville. Mr. Rowher
is now in that country, after a trip to
St. Louis, and Mr. Devereux will re
turn within a few days.—Batesville

you to address your reply to me at the
