It is reported that the Iron Moun
tain railroad will soon begin sending
part of their through freight trains
southward from St. Louis over the
Belmont line to Delta, thence over the
Cotton Belt line to Dexter, ana tnence
south by Poplar Bluff. This will avoid
the highest grades at Tiptop and Gad’s
Hill. A still greater saving of haul
will be made when the Thebes bridge
is completed. It will be utterly im
possible for these trains to whiz by
Poplar Bluff as they would flag sta
tions, so it will be a part of a division
whether the division moves or not.

White River fell three feetatBates
ville Tuesday night, but at Elgin,
Black rose 9 inches. The Newport
guage registered 25 feet even, Wed
i nesday morning, or within one foot of
the danger line, which is .4 of a foot
higher than any rise the past year and
a half. The cold weather seems to be
! holding the streams in check all right
and as the temperature began falling
j again Wednesday morning, the dan
ger of a serious overflow is now hardly
, probable. The fact that White River
, at Batesville is already falling does
not assure lower water at Newport,
as the continued rise in Black may
more than offset this.

CONTEST STILL CONTINUES.
i The contest for and against license
