FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Republic
Has Achieved Such Wide
j*. Popularity.
Established for nearly a cen
tury and read regularly by more
than 500,000 persons in the west
and southwest, the Twice-a-Week
Republic of St. Louis can justly
lay claim to that enviable dis
tinction, “Favorite Home Pa
per.”
It is great because it has al
ways aimed to inform, instruct
and entertain its -readers on all
matters of public and home in
terest. In 1904 it will be espe
cially interesting and valuable.
Here are some reasons why you
should subscribe for it:
This is campaign year and you
will want to be informed of the
movements of party leaders, re
ports of the great national and
state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of the
i election, etc.
You jj#ill want to know all
about the World’s Fair, to be
| held in St. Louis from April 30
■ to December 1,1904.
You will be interested in and
kept well informed by the farm
visitor, a regular supplement of
i the paper, prepared especially
; for the farmer and his family.
You will want to know what
i the world is doing in every field
i of activity, and through the un
; surpassed news and special ser
i vice of the twice-a-week Repub
lic you will not be disappointed.
In short sketches, choice bits
| of fiction, articles of interest to
women, children and household
suggestions the Twice-a-Week
Republic easily leads among the
weeklies of the great West.

Republic sent to your address,
order it at once direct from the
office at St. Louis, Mo.,, or
through your local newsdealer.
It costs only. $1 a year.

Inspector E. 0. Glenn of Little
Rock is in Helena looking into
the condition of the local office,
! the streets, sidewalks, etc., pre
paratory to making a report as
to the advisability of establishing
free delivery here.

good condition.

BEGIN CONSTRUCTION
ON NEW ROAD.
Jonesboro, Newport & Western
Railroad Will Use Portion of
Bonnerville Branch—Strikes
That Road at Pitts.
Construction work on the new
Jonesboro, Newport & Western
railroad has been commenced and
for many miles southwest of
Jonesboro, stumps are being
blown and the right-of-way
cleared preparatory to laying the
track.
At Grubbs in this county, the
dynamiting can be heard and the
final survey of the road has been
made to Pitts in Poinsett county,
where the road strikes the Bon
nerville & Southwestern. From
Pitts for a distance of five miles
the branch will be used to a
point three miles west of Grubbs,
or at the second commissary be
low.
From here the survey has been
made to Newport, and within the
present year it seems highly
probable that Newport will have
a Frisco connection to Jonesboro.

HISTOKY MLET1JNG.
_
A meeting was held on Friday
I afternoon in the interest of the
| history of Jackson, Independence
! Stone and Lawrence counties.
The work has been undertaken.
The author is pleased with the
interest some of the most promi
nent people of Newport have
shown in the work. It is a pleas
ure to tell the noble story of the
pioneer Arkansan and the good
work of her development at the
hands of many others who have
come here from the east and
north. This rich country de
serves to be better known. Very
little has been written of this
section of God’s country. If you
are not interested in the history,
get interested. You will if you
think about it. 1
