j CONSTRUCTION
COMMENCED.
On Wednesday Contractor W.
R. Stewart began work on Mrs.
Rhea’s new hotel building, and
our people rejoice with exceeding
gladness of heart. If there ever
was a town that needed a hotel,
that same town is Walnut Ridge.
The lack of a hotel is the greatest
drawback our town has. The
new structure wouia De a creuit
to a town of 10,000 people and
Mrs. Rhea displays her usual
good judgment in its erec
tion. The brick are now be
ing delivered on the ground by
Moore & Richter, of the Walnut
Ridge brick yard, and if loaded
on the cars would require 35 cars
to hold them. Fourteen carloads
of sand will be necessary and the
the building will cost clese to
$30,000. Now let us all sing the
praises of Mrs. Rhea.—Black
Rock Blade.
WHITE MAY OVERFLOW.
Old river men are looking
ahead to a June overflow, on ac
count of the heavy rains in South
west Missouri and Eastern Kan
sas, which sections are tributary
to White.
At Fayetteville a rainfall of
2.22 inches has been reported and
the storm of Friday night prob
ably deluged the hills of North
Arkansas. While the river is only
8.1 feet on the gauge, a big rise
is expected, which may result in
a June overflow, such as we have
not experienced for years.
