ROCK ISLAND SURVEYS.
Harrison, Sept. 15. The Rock
Island sui’veying corps, under En
gineers Blanchard and Wood, moved
this week from Batavia and are now
camped just east of town, near the
Wilson Spring. Their former line
crossing the St. L. & N. A. at Batavia
was not satisfactory and they are now
investigating several routes in and
out of Harrison. In a general way
their route will be southeast from
here, to meet the corps under Capt.
Clark, working this way from West
Plains.
_
Salem, Sept. 15.—One corps of tbe,;
Rock Island surveyors is between
Salem and Evening^Shade, coming on
to Salem. The other corps is nearing
West Plains and will meet the Sou
thern surveyors near this place.
On Tuesday J. L. Short, Lehman
Kay, W. S. Livingston and A. H. An
drus were at West Plains to see the
surveyors but they had not reached
that city. It was learned that a care
ful survey was being made and that
our town was on the route. Several
parties from each surveying corps are
viewing the country north and south
of Salem and the indications are that
the road will come by Salem and be
built at once.
BRYAN’S COW STORY
There is no doubt about Bryan hav
ing as great a hold upon the esteem
and the admiration of the common
people as he ever had,” said a Little
Rock citizen the other day upon his
return from a visit to Iowa. “I was
in Iowa City a few weeks ago on the
occasion of a grand Woodman picnic,
which was attended by great crowds
of people from all the surrounding
towns. Bryan was the great feature
of the day. He spoke at the fair
grounds under an arbor on a platform
roughly constructed for the occasion
He was received with the same en
thusiastic acclaim that marked his
triumphal tours of the south when he
was a candidate for the presidency
and, although republicans predomi
nated in the audience, he was given
the most careful attention and ap
plauded throughout his address. He
discussed agricultural topics, the no
bility of Woodcraft, and the impor
tance of training the youth
of the country to be good cit
izens. He did not talk about finan
cial issues,. and referred to his pet
hobby only once. In speaking of the
different kinds of cows he said: ‘I
will tell you the difference between
the Holstein and the Jersey. Take
a two gallon bucket and put a silver
dollar in the bottom of it and the
Holstein will fill it full, but you can
see the dollar in the bottom. Now
the Jersey will just about cover the
dollar, but you can’t see it. That is
all I have to say about the money
question.”—Little Rock Democrat.
