 Already marked improvement is noticeable not only in the manage ment, but in the patronage of the railroad eating house, now under the supervision of owr good friend Capt. Barrelle.

 STILL THEY CeME.-About thir- ty Bohemians arrived here on Satur- days train, in charge of M. M. Freed, who was taking them to his farm in Yell county.

Oh! arn't we glad that we have no wife, if it would scare us as bad as it did him. He beat Grangers time in Dover last week.
 About thirty members of the Press Association passed mp Tues day on their way to Ft. Smith. They seemed to be enjoying themselves finely: think they must have had something open in Capt.

Hope they may have better luck coming back as ou q. q. and lady will be aboard.
