KANSAS CITY TO NEW ORLEANS
The Gould System Will Eventually
Have Through Line From
Kansas City To New
Orleans.
A prominent official of the Iron
Mountain, during a recent visit to
Fort Smith, says the Times of that
city, gave it out as his opinion that
the Missouri Pacific interests will not
stop the westside—river—valley line
that is projected from Latour to New
Orleans at the former place, but that
it will be built into Memphis with all
possible speed when the latter point
is reached.
The lower part of the line, between
Trippe, Ark., and Concordia, La., is
progressing nicely and indications are
that it will be completed over the en
tire distance before the fall of the
present year. From Trippe to Latour,
Ark., contracts are reported to have
been let and the construction work
will presumably be started within the
next sixty days.
On the White river line from Bates
ville to the northwest, a large force of
men and teams is at work and the
company seems determined to push
the work through beyond Buffalo City
as first reported for a terminal point
to Carthage, Webb City or Spring
field, Mo., without pause. Springfield
is irather a new rumored terminal
point and it is thought that there is
very little chance of the line being
pushed through to that city on ac
count of the fact that the Missouri Pa
cific has no connecting line there and
at both of the other cities important
and valuable connections would be
formed.
STATE NEWS NOTES.
Randolph county is probably the
only county in the State that can
boast of a woman mail earner. Joe
Legate had carried the mail every day
from Pitman to Maynard for several
years until a few day3 ago, wnen he
took sick and died. Since that time
his plucky wife has made the trip just
as her husband did, and is giving
general satisfaction.

The smallpox situation is so much
improved that the board of health has
raised the general quarantine and
things will resume their normal status
in a few days. Greatly exaggerated
reports on the situation have damaged
the town.—Paragould Soliphone.

REVIVAL AT THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
It is safe to say the people of New
port have never had a better oppor
tunity to hear the scriptures fully ex
plained than they now have, in the
sermons being delivered by Mr. Cline.
He is fearless in the presentation of
the truth, and the large audiences
that hear him from night to night,
gladly show that the better class oi
citizens appreciate the ptjv-sr and
the simplicity of the Gospoi.
“The Two Laws (jtf Pardon” will be
presented tonigbL, and should be
heard by ever#'man in town.
ACTION POSTPONED.
T'ne application of the attorney
Gustave Jones for bail for the de
fendant Rufus Johnson, charged with
the murder of James Cole on May 10,
came up before Judge F. D. Fulker
son, Wednesday afternoon, upon the
arrival of the circuit judge in this city.
1 No action was taken however and
the attorneys for state and defense
will bring the cause up before Judge
Fulkerson Friday. The defendant is
in the custody of the sheriff, being
kept at the latter’s home and not in
v-he county jaii.
“UPPER TEN” DANCE.
The young people of the “Upper
Ten” crowd enjoyed a most delightful
dance Wednesday evening at the
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. T. D.
Kinman, Sr. on Third Street.
The music, furnished by a colored
quartette upon cornet, guitar, violin
and base violin proved an inspiration
to the merry crowd of dancers, who
enjoyed the diversion until a late hour.
The affair was in honor of Miss Mor
eene Kinman, for whom it was in
tended as a surprise and Mr. and Mrs.
T. D. Kinman, Sr. and Mr. and Mrs.
T. D. Kinman Jr. received and joined
heartily in the pleasantries of the
evening.
The guests present were Mesdames
D. Terry, A. D. and Wm. Bailey;
Misses Mary and Hilda Bailey, Jennie
McCauley, Aubrey Arnold, Nellie
Terry, Della Bernstein, Mae Smith,
Marille Dillard; Messrs. Bennett Eg
an, Edwin Carter, Tom Dillard, Robert
Laird, Ed Sprigg, Henry Bragg, Homer
Buford, Ed Mann and John Prewitt.
COOMBS-ROSS.
Mr. William Coombs of Centralia,
Illinois, and Mrs. Savannah Ross, of
this city, better known by her former
name of Mrs. Savannah Hunter, were
quietly married Wednesday evening
at the home of John Q. Guynn in
East Newport.
Only a few friends were present to
witness this celebration of nuptial
vows performed by Rev. James H.
Brooks of the Christian church. The
wedded couple left Thursday morning
for Centralia, Illinois, their future
home, which the Independent hopes
may ever be a happy one, blessed
with contentment and sunshine.
RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
News from the construction work of
the Missouri Pacific railroad up White
river indicates that grading is in pro
gress within ten miles of Buffalo City.
The contract for the last block into
Buffalo City has been let and the en
gineers say that trains will be running
into Buffalo City by November, while
another sixty days will probably
elapse before regular shipments will
be received by the road.

The Choctaw Tuesday brought in
the first cars to be run over the run

with the “Great Rock Island Route”
diagram. The local office is not ex
pected'to feel the effect of the new
owner except that the name “Choc
taw Route,” so well known in this
section, will disappear for all time
from the office of the road in Memphis
and the last vestige of the old owner
ship will disappear.—Memphis News
