DIRECTORS NOT APPRECIATIVE.
Col. G. A. A. Deane, superintendent
of the land department of the Iron
Mountain Railroad, has written to all
the school directors in the state, offer
, ing them a map of Arkansas for the
! use of the schools if they will sign a
I blank to the effect that it will be used
for school purposes says the Little
Rock Gazette. He agrees to pay all
the cost of mailing, and, in fact, de
livers at the school door a 85 map for
nothing. To Mr. Dean’s surprise, he
hr s not heard so far from more than a
dozen or two schools in the state. “I
do not understand it,” said Colonel
Dean yesterday. “The map is one of
the most complete ever made. It is
unusually large for a school map, be
ing several feet either way. It con
tains section diagrams, all railroads up
to date, rivers, creeks, counties, el
evations, towns, besides valuable
marginal information. It would be
come an almost invaluable addition to
the schools. In sending out the maps
the cost to the recipient is absolutely
nothing, except perhaps a two-cent
stamp used in mailing the request.
The cost to us, should we give one to
every school in the state, would
amount to something, ^here being 15
cents postage on each map. I don’t
know what is the matter. Perhaps
they think we are in the trust, or
something of the kind. The city
schools of Little Rock have already
been supplied through Rees P. Hor
rocks, the clerk of the school board,
and I should be glad to do the same
with other cities in the state if they
will take enough interest in the matter
! to write for them.”
HOXIE HAPPENINGS.
!
Hoxie, Dec.. 18.—The unprecedented
rain of the last few days has greatly
retarded work in the Iron Mountain
yards.
Inspector Egge-rs of the Iron Moun
tain and L. H. Murry are busy work
ing engines pumping water from the
cinder pit and sewer-pipe ditches.
Agent Meek of the Southwestern
Telegraph & Telephone Company was
here Monday. His company will put
in an exchange here and at Walnut
| Ridge, having sold forty-four phones.
The recent heavy rains washed away
! a portion of the telephone poles re
j cently distributed by the Southwest
J. eru people between here and Tucker
i man. Mr. E. A. Miller, manager for
this company here, and a forced men
have received a camping outfit and
will get ready to get the line up at
once.
Manager Wm. Cotter of the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain system, who,
when superintendent of the Iron
Mountain last June, selected this place
at which to locate the new terminals,
passed down the road last week. In
looking over their yards here he re
marked that “this is the finest yard
on the whole system.”
AUGUSTA GOSSIP.
Augusta, Ark., Dec. 18.—Tuesday
morning, as Miss Lena Roddy was
going to ber school, five miles below
here, she had quite a trying experi
ence. Her brother, Allen Roddy, who
was driving the buggy, not thinking
the creek very deep, drove in and the
water came up over the buggy seat.
A valise of clothes washed out in the
water and both parties got wet. By
heroic efforts both were saved and
returned to town an hour later nearly
frozen.
Mrs. Cleora Gleghorn of Little Rock
^ is visiting friends in Augusta this
week. She will remain until after the
holidays.
> The late rains have put White river
on a boom. The river rose two feet
Sunday night and is still rising. Those
who have cattle in the bottoms are
uneasy about them. Should the over
flow get much higher great damage
will be done to stock and bottom
lands.
Miss Simms, a beautiful young lady
from Holly Springs, Miss., is visiting
her cousin, Mrs. Annie Yarbrough,
this week. She will return home the
latter part of the week.

FORTNIGHTLY WHIST CLUB.
________
A goodly number of whist lovers
met at the home of Mrs. O. D. Watson
Thursday afternoon, Dec. I8th, for the
purpose of perfecting plans for a club
to be devoted to the pursuit of that
interesting and scientific pastime.
Much enthusiasm was evidenced, and
the formal order of organizing what
in the future will be known as the
“Fortnightly Whist Club” moved
along with dispatch ;';hd method. The
membership is limited to twenty
ladies. Meetings are to be held on the
first and third Wednesdays of each
month, the initial social entertainment
of the club opening with the New
Year, Jan. 7th. But two officers were
considered necessary to maintain the
dignity of the term “Club” which is to
be of a social rather than business na
ture. They are President, Mrs. O. D.
Watson, Secretary and Treasurer Miss
Lula Empie.
Among the rules adopted, is one
which prohibits the offering of prizes,
but a quarterly record of scores is to
be kept.
The following comprise the mem
bership alphabetically arranged in the
order of entertainment:
Mesdames A. D. Bailey, J. P. Ber
man, J. J. Blanchard, B. B. Bond, B.
M. Crow, Miss Lula Empie, Mesdames
C. R. Hite, R. B. Hooker, R. M. John
son, Gustave Jones, Miss Mary Laird,
Mesdames Gus. C. Martin, Eugene
Maris, L. Minor, T. E. Morrison, R. T.
Robertson, John L. Sells, O. D. Wat
son, Chas. Wilmans, E. B. Wilmans.
RAILRoXd RUMORS.
Little Rock, Dec. 18.—Wednesday’s
work in railroad circles has created
considerable excitement in this city.
For a long time there has been a de
sire upon the part of Little Rock peo
ple for a road that would penetrate
the great zinc belt of the State, and
put it in close touch with the outside
world; Last year the St. Louis &
North Arkansas Railway, which is
apparently under the government of
the Frisco system, extended the line
from Eureka Springs to Harrison, and
is now at work carrying the line
down to Leslie, in Searcy county,
going directly through the zinc coun
try.
That afternoon at a late hour Hon.
J. V. Walker of Fayetteville filed the
articles of the Leslie & Southern Rail
way Company, which is taken as a
movement on the part of the Frisco
system, and proposes an extension of
the St. Louis & North Arkansas from
Leslie to Little Rock, through the
counties of Searcy, Stone, Van Buren,
Cleburne, White, Faulkner and Pu
laski. This is a road Little Rock has
wanted and has been expecting for
some time.
