anything as they are over this project failure
is next TO impossible.
"Thc people all through Texas Arkansas

held all along the proposed line. The road g.;

purpose of construction, and active operations
will be begun this spring. Two thousand dol.
lars per mile for the grading is what is to bn
voted in the shape of bonds, and most of
the county seats along the line will give them
a subsidy in proportion to their population in
addition TO the bonds. The city of Kcarmcy
alone will raise 900 to add to the 10000
to be voted by the county, So you see it
looks like u sure thing.
"Ges, our little city is full of life this

away the ruins of the Midway hotel, recently
destroyed by fire, and will rebuild the strur-

strong in our section, and they are increasing
in strength every day. They undoubtedly

making strenuous efforts in that direction.
OThe prohibs are very weak out our way,
and can't hope to carry anything either in
