The time was when the STAR could
keep the record of tire arrivals at tile
Springs and its editor knew all its res
ldents. but that time has long since
gone Ivy. The arrivals are hundreds

twice as many residents Of Hot Springs
that we do not know us those with
whom we are acquainted.
Tie fact that officers of the great
Chicago, Darlington & Quincy Rail
way Company, of which the B& NJ. is a
branch, have recently purchased d
large slice OF property in Springaale

cecdingly valuable.
