Austin Miss Cotton Plant
Captain Moon, of the Mobile and
Northwestern railroad company, has
been in town for the past week engaged
in getting up field notes with a view
Of making a survey of a route from
Magnolia to Memphis. 1t is, we
learn, the intention of the Mobile and
Northwestern company to run a road
to Memphis from Magnolia, and Capt.
Moon thinks it can be doneat an early
day, as the route, almost an air line, is
an easy and practical one, and the road
can be built cheap and speedily; will
run through one of the best sections
of Tunica, and through the lands OF
live, practical and enterprising men.
who feel the want of a railroad, and
know the advantages of one to them
selves and the country generally, and
will, no doubt, contribute literally to
the early building Of the road, and
render all the aid in their power to
any company who will give them a
reasonable assurance Of doing any
thing more than talk railroad. Capt.
Lyon, the head center of the Mobile
and Northwestern road, has given am
pie proof that he means something
when he talks railroad, and the knowl
edge of what Captain Lyon has done
in the way of building a road in the
bottom inspires a lively hope in the
minds OF the people that the time is
not far distant when we, too, will have
a railroad.
Therefore, we hardly deem it neces-
sary to say more than simply to notify
the people that Captain Lyon is con
templating this matter, and we are
satisfied that he and his assistants will
receive all the aid and encouragement
he may desire from our people.

The 1908 bill was taken up in the

have been that it would pass. We
very much regret this turn of the

The Servant Girl Problem Solved
Dardanelle Arkansian.l

Dardanelle Arkansian.l
On Monday evening last five young
and handsome Irish girls arrived in
our little city direct from the Emerald
isle. They came from the Glaneseaul
in the north of Ireland, via Liverpool,
and thence to Havana, entering Amer
lean port at New0rleans and on direct
to Dardanelle. 1t was through the
energy and enterprise of our fellow
citizen, Mr.. j. X. Perry, that they
left their old home to try their for
tunes in the new world. Mr.. Perry
purchased and forwarded them through
tickets via steamer across the Allan
tic, and forwarded them money to pay
railroad fare and hotel bills to reach
Liverpool, and bring them from New
Orleans up. The cost of bringing
them through was between $40 ana
SO each. They are from the ages Of
sixteen to nineteen years, hale and
hearty, intelligent and not bad look
ing, and are to have homes as we un.
derstaDd in the families of Messrs. j..
K. Perry, George l.. Kimball, Thomas
Boles and Z. Nj. Gibson, of our city.
and John NJ. Harkey, Of Ola, in our
county. Each will have a good home,
and we learn others would come ii
they had means furnished them to
come on. Here is a solution of the
servant girl problem; let others of our
citizens send to Ireland for reliable
and trusty help.

Mr.. Speaker-In explanation Of my
vote | desire to say that | was.eIected
to this legislature pledged to a settle
ment Of the state debt on the best
terms offered by the bondholders. |
am of the opinion that the section
making coupons receivable for taxes
is unwise, but to vote against the bill
for hat reason would violate my SOL
emn pledge to the people of Shelby
county, often repeated during the can
vass, when | was elected by a hand
some majority.
T. +. CAssELLs.
Mr.. SpeakeT-0n the bondholder's
proposition of 1908, | vote no, in ac.
cordance with pledges to my people
which | would not violate for the sake
of state credit; for if the credit of the
state is to be maintained at the sacri-
fee Of personal honor, | cannot make
the sacrifice. N. T. DULANEY.
Mr.. Speaker represent the old
county of Knox, of over 45, 000inhab
itants. | thank heaven and every
hing that is holy that | have the priv
ilege of casting a vote for the faith,
honor and creGit Of my state.
THos. b. MCLEMoRE.
Mr.. Speaker-fhi bill does not
meet our peculiar views on the settle
ment of the state debt. The PROPOSE
ton from the creditors is not what we
expected or preferred, nor is it as liza
bic as the people desired, but having
made an honest effort by a thorough
canvass among the members of this
house to procure a lower rate ofsettle-
ment, but finding that neither a sufi-
cient number of republicans or low
tax democrats will unite with US on
any other proposition, we deem it our
duty as state credit members to vote
for the only measure that can possibly
pass this house; therefore we vote aye.
