SHELVES DAVIS’ RESOLUTION.
Little Rock, Cct. 19.—The State
penitentiary board has shelved an
other convict farm resolution pro
posed by Gov. Davis. He proposed
, that the board authorize Capt. R. R.
Rice, of Varner, Oapt. T. J. Phillips of
Pine Bluff, and Col. J. F. Smith of
Marion, to investigate the various
propositions submitted and recom
mend to the board the most feasible
and best purchase to be made for the
State, taking into consideration the
location of the land, its accessibility
to the State capital and its desirability
as a convict plantation, and that the
board buy the farm so recommended
* by them, provided, the terms and
conditions are satisfactory to the
State. The resolution was defeated,
Gov. Davis alone voting in the af
firmative.
MRS. BURGESS ENTERTAINS.
The “Smart Set” were entertained
j Saturday afternoon at the pretty home
of Mrs. J. O. Burgess on Hazel Street
in honor of her daughter Mrs. C. W.
True. A goodly attendance of club
members was present and the after
noon thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Guessing ages was one of the
diversions of the entertaifiment and
proved a source of much merriment,
Mrs. J. L. Jones winning the prize, a
very pretty little china vase.
The refreshments of ice cream, cake
and olives were nicely served.
Those present were Misses Nelle
' Pence, Ray and Lucy Brandenburg,
j Claire Johnson, Mabel Padgett; Mes
dames J. L. Jones, C. W. True, Jack
j Jones and W. A. O’Neal.

TRACK LAYING
REACHES SYLAMORE.
Track laying on the White River
branch of the Iron Mountain has pro
gressed as far as Sylamore, Stone,
county, forty miles west of Batesville,
and it is expected that regular train
service will be extended to Sylamore
at an early day. Stone county is
now, for the first time, connected with
the outside world by rail.
Soldier’s Rock, four miles beyond
Sylamore, is said to be the hardest
proposition on the ndw line. It is an
immense cliff of solid stone, starting
from the water’s edge and towering
several hundred feet high. Enough
of this cliff is being blown off with
dynamite to make room for a track,
and it is expected that this part of the
work will be completed by the 15th of
next month. Once beyond this, work
will progress very rapidly. The cross
ing on White river has not yet been
selected. Messrs. Rohwer and Deverux
are inspecting possible routes on the
west side of the river, and will prob
ably make a final selection on their
present trip into Marion county. Mr.
Devereux is expected to return to
Batesville the latter part of next week.
It is understood that Contractor Rey
nolds’ headquarters will remain at
Penter’s Bluff until the road is finished
to Buffalo, when he will move up
there.
The livery stable on Walnut Street,
which is the property of Mrs. J. E.
Brown of Memphis has been rented to
the American Grocer Company and
is being fitted up for a warehouse.
Mrs. M. E. Foushee, who has been
living in Arkansas City, came up Sat
urday from Little Rock, where she
made MissJMattie Walker a short visit.
The latter came up to spend Sunday
with relatives in this city.
TWO RUNAWAYS.
Monday morning between ten and
eleven o’clock, the team of Frank
Fisher, a prominent Oil Trough mer
chant, attached to a heavy farm wag
on ran away, starting in the alley by
the American Grocer Company to
Hazel, then down Front to Walnut,
thence to Third and out to the button
factory. The team stopped from
sheer exhaustion and no damage was
done, though they set a fast pace.
On Saturday afternoon the team of
Rufus Clark became frightened while
standing at the cotton platform of the
Wolif-Goldman Mercantile Company
and ran west on Second street until
stopped. The wagon lost a wheel and
was otherwise damaged, while one of
the horses sustained a badly bruised
leg.
OFFERS A SUGGESTION.
Mr. Editor:—
Since you have introduced the sub
ject of the blind man in connection
with the blind tiger I would suggest
that if the physically blind can be of
any help to the morally blind, the city
dads be petitioned to employ a few
of them for the present emergen
cy. Old Prohi.
P. S. I have just learned that the
blind (not the blind tiger) has been
run out of town.
E. C. Waterman went to St. Louis
Sunday night on a business trip, which
probably has something to do with the
depot celebration banquet.
Farmers, when you come to New
port, put up your rigs and horses at
Robinson’s Feed and Livery Stable.
The horses will be well fed and looked
after carefully. lOwtf
