All the park fences are to dis
appear and the switch track to
be put in at once, so that the
building material may be laid
down at the site. There will be
two unloading tracks east of the
depot and between that building
and Front street, and three
tracks west of the freight depot,
the last one being only 20 feet
from the main line.
Mr. Hamilton has been urged
by tke mayor and others that he
embody the recommendation in
his report that as many of the
park trees as possible be left
standing.
The several tracks will con

strikes the main line north of the

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
Mrs. J. 0. Thomas and daugh
ter, Miss Cora, came down from
Cotter Tuesday night and left
next morning for a visit to Jud
sonia. The Batesville passenger
did not arrive in Newport until
midnight, being delayed by a
brbken down engine. '
The Little Rock Democrat says
that the special from Newport
was untrue that Colonel Jos.
House had been retained as Rob
erts’ attorney. The dispatch did
not so state, but said Col. House
had been retained by Doctor
Lightle, and this has not been
ienied.
Miss Daisy Wells, who was
with Mrs. Etta Merrell last sea
son, we are glad to announce
will be with her again the com
ing winter, and will arrive from
3t. Louis Thursday, where she
has been for two weeks in the
wholesale house, studying the
new fall styles.
Rev. C. C. Cline, formerly pas
tor of the Christian church here
and a teacher in Maddox Semi
nary of Little Rock, spent Tues
3ay night here on his way to
Batesville, where he goes in the
interest of Maddox College, a con
solidated school this year at Lit
tle Rock, the Memphis branch
having been abandoned.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Glenn are
entertaining a large number of
their friends at Glenwood, and
the echoes from that delightful
country home are that the guests
af Mr. and Mrs. Glenn are hav
ing a royal time. —Batesville Bee.

COTTON CONTINUES
TO DETERIORATE.
Crop Report for Week Ending
Monday Shows Drought Has
Not been Broken.
.The first of the week was
warm, with high day tempera
tures and seasonable night tem
peratures; the latter part was
cool. Local showers fell during
the week, but over most of the
state the drought remains un
broken. Cotton continues to de
teriorate; it is suffering from
lack of moisture generally, and
in many sections of the state is
shedding badly, and in some sec
tions boll worm and rust are also
injuring it. The crop is begin
ning to open in some sections,
but picking has not yet begun.
Early corn made a good crop;
the late is suffering from lack of
moisture, and the indications are
for only a fair crop. Wheat
threshing is about completed; the
yields secured were generally
satisfactory, and the quality of.
the grain was fair to good. Some
fall plowing for wheat has been
done. Late potatoes and sweet j
potatoes would be benefited by
rain. There is still complaint of
apples and late peaches dropping,;
and the indications are that these !
crops will not be up to the aver
age either in yield or in quality.
Stock is generally doing well.
ROCK ISLAND
OFFENDS CONDUCTORS.
According to reports the plac
ing of “ticket takers” on all
lines of the Rock Island is noth
ing more than than the establish
ing of an auditing system, says
the Little Rock Democrat.
A conductor on the Iron Mount
ain was talking of the matter
and expressed himself as being
very much surprised at the action
of the company in this matter.
He stated that putting these
men on the company’s trains was
a direct intimation that the com
pany suspected the conductors
of dishonesty and that it would
not be of any interest to the
road. It is a well known fact
that there are “spotters” going
over the road at all times, and
that the conductors know noth
ing of their whereabouts. These
men, it is said, are Pinkerton de
tectives, and are continually on
the watch for the dishonest con
ductor. The fact that extremely
few passenger conductors are j
discharged goes to prove that
there are none who attempt to -
defraud the company.
It is said that the conductors
on the Choctaw district of the
Rock Island are sore on account
of the action of the company, as
they feel that it is a direct slap.
FUNERAL OE
RAYMOND BOWEN.
The funeral of little Raymond
Bowen Tuesday afternoon was
largely attended by friends of
the sorrowing parents who fol
lowed the remains to their last
resting place in Walnut Grove.
The funeral service, conducted
by Rev. T. F. Richardson, was
very sweet and suitable to the
occasion. The music was in
charge of Mrs. T. S. Stephens.
The little white casket was
covered with many beautiful
floral emblems given by friends,
notable among which for its
beauty was an exquisite_bunch
of white roses and ferns from
little Walter Wallace, his child
companion.
The pall bearers were John
Umsted, Arthur Bowie, James
Calvin and Bert Snetzer.
