TO TAX RESTAURANTS.
Pocahontas, Ark., Dec. 14.
The city council has decided to
tax restaurants, hotels, butcher
shops, pool rooms, etc., in addi
tion to the regular license, and a

raised. Some claim the move is
unconstitutional, but the mayor
says “nixy,’’ and announces that
he will enforce the new ordi
nance to the letter.

PROGRESS OF WORK
IN MARION COUNTY.
Naturally enough the greatest
interest is taken in all that per- i
tains to the railroad now building
in Marion county. The first ques-'
tion asked is always in regard ;
to the progress made.
The bridge is progressing at a
satisfactory rate. It will not be j
many# weeks before the bridge
men are brought in for the pur-!
pose of putting up the steel. The
piers are well on toward comple- j
tion and before the end of the j
year the bridge gang will take,
charge.
The tunnel, which is one of the j
great undertakings, and expen
sive as well, is well under way !
and should be turned over to the |
company by February at the very j
latest. Day and night the work
proceeds and there is but little
distance left to connect the two
ends. The work of dressing up
this great hole in the ground will
be but short in regard to time.
The grading is practically com
pleted as far as George creek,
with stretches of it done beyond
that point. There is some little
dressing up to be done, but this
will take only days instead of
weeks. Mr. Reynolds has con
solidated his camps at George’s
creek, and is now working men
on every unfinished rod of the
rrrnnnrl nvAr
o - — -JC
The timbers are being hauled
for the various trestles, so there
will be no delay in this respect.
The bridge gang will precede the
track layers, and when the time
comes the steel will be laid with
out interruption.
It may now be safely pre
dicted that the cars will be run
into Yellville before the first of
March. This will be greatly to
the comfort and profit of all visit
ors and land owners.—Yellville
Republican.
