 The Little Rock Democrat is also urging on the movement, and we ex. tract the following local paragraphs from the columns of that paper:
 "Our business men are always alive, and are taking hold of the Harrison matter as if they meant to do something"
 'sShould it be necessary the Zones Bros. are prepared to assist in sub stancial manner the road the 'Harri son Boom'' Boone County. It would be boon to Little Rock to get that trade"
 "The Springfield, Mo, merchants are throwing little fat to the Harri- son business men in the shape ol promises to run a telegraph line down and give them wire to the outer world. It's ''too thin," to use an expressive but slangy word."
 "Col. Theo. Hartman, the energet- ic Superintendent of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway, will give the Harrison people free excursion from Russellville to this city, and al so take up such business men and committees as may be appointed to go up there to meet the visitors"
