ARKANSAS DIVISION

Reports from Local Chapter Re
ceived by Daughters of
Confederacy.
Batesville, October 12. —This
Was the second day of the annual
r convention of the Arkansas Div
ision United Daughters of the
Confederacy, and considerable
routine work was gone.through
v with. The convention was called
to order promptly at 10 a. m.,
and the entire morning was taken
up by the local chapters. They
took a recess at 12, to meet again
at 2:30 p. m. At that l\our the
j delegates met and listened to a
very interesting and entertain
ing address by J. P. Coffin.
The program tonight was, as
follows:

nights ’ \

Mrs. R. B. Willis.

Lee,” by Miss Lotta Campbell,

ing.
_^jJ£BALLASTlNG TRACK
OF IRON MOUNTAIN.
The work of reballasting the
main line of the Iron Mountain
from Texarkana to St. Louis, is
rapidiy nearing completion. The
work began some time ago, and
has progressed with rapidity,
and it is now thought that it will
be finished within the month, at
which time the shovels which
have been used at the gravel pits
on the Ouachita at Arkadelphia,
will be sent to the White River
road, where a great amount of
grading is being dbne. The Iron
Mountain main line has been one
of the best in the country for
some time, and the work which
has been done on it recently has
been in the mature of repairs
rather than new work. This part
of the line is fast becoming
known as the Dustless Line,
from the fact that the roadbed
is covered with gravel, from
which it is impossible for dust to
rise.
GEORGE GOULD SPECIAL
WAS NOT WRECKED.
A rumor was current in this
- city Wednesday night, says the
Little Rock Gazette, that the
Gould special had been wrecked
near Wynne,Ark., and President
Gould injured. The report, on
investigation, was found to be
without foundation, as Mr. Gould
is not in this state at present,
and will not leave St. Louis until
Friday. Just what route the
party will take from St. Louis is
not known, as Mr. Gould in his
tours over the lines has no defi
nite routing, and may change his
plans at a moment's notice. At
any rate his visit to this city and
that of his sister, Miss Helen
Gould, will not be many days
.apart.
MISS KENNEDY MARRIED.
Word was received in this city
late Tuesday afternoon, says the
Poplar Bluff Citizen, announcing
the marriage of Mr. Frank Gar
diner and Miss Rose Kennedy ir
St. Louis Tuesday afternoon,
While the wedding was some
what of a surprise to many ir
this city, it has been anticipated
by the many friencjs of the twc
young people for some time.
They left this city a few days
ago, presumably for the world’s
fair, and only a few knew of the
wedding, aside from the family
of the bride. The wedding oc
curred in the parlors of the Jef
ferson hotel.
Miss Kennedy was well known
in Newport society, having visit
ed here, and the good wishes oi
these friends are extended at
this happy hour.

the night. It was continued to

PINE BLUFF FACES
SERIOUS WATER FAMINE. |
Board of Health Condemns Water
Forced From River Without
Being Filtered as Cause
of Much Sickness.
Pine Bluff, Oct. 12. —The city
of Pine Bluff has been facing the |
serious problem of a water fam
ine, due to the failure of the
Pine Bluff Light and Water Com
pany to supply pure water to the
citizens. Physicians state that
much of the sickness that is pre
valent in this city is due to the
impure water which the people
have been compelled to use, and
the board of health has taken ac
tion on the matter, condemning
the water furnished by the water
company of late as unfit for use.
The city council has employed an
expert engineer to examine the
water pumped through the pipes
of the water company, and this
engineer will report to the next
meeting of the council.
Manager Fowles of the water
rnmnanv states that, the oomna
ny has been practically helpless
on account of the breaking of
two of the deep wells of the com
pany. He has been instructed
by his board of directors to have
another well dug, but cannot get
this well into commisson in less
than four weeks. The water
that is being pumped through
the pipes is said to be river wa
ter, unfiltered, and as such the
council, the board of trade and
the board of health have passed
measures to condemn it. Mana
ger Fowles denies that river wa
ter is being used, except in fire
alarms, when the fire hydrants
, are opened. Everywhere the
citizens are complaining, and in
many cases of sickness people
are suffering because they can
, not get pure water to drink.

Fort Smith, Ark., October 12.
—Chancellor Bourland fined Ed.
