ed for the convenience of the travelling public. In word, every interest of ourscounty demands them, and if Your TIonor can make n safe arrangement with any responsible bridge company to have them built at once, we, your commissioners. would heartily endorse and recommend your action.
 Some may object on account of the cost. To such we would say that we have carefully examined this important feature, and we don't think it insurmounfable. While 1t may ap- pear large h the aggregate, when you come to divide 1t amongst an entcrpris- ing population of say i9000 persons (which number Pope county claims to coEtain), 1t dwindles down to mere pittanee to each. We believe the five bridges can be built with what funds we have already on hand, by levying a two and one-half mill tax for two years more, and probably leave a surplus in the treasury. W. B.

Report of Bridge Commissions


 To THE HONORABLE COUNTY COURT OF
 PoPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS;
 We. your commissioners, heretofore appointed to locate bridges In Pope county, Arkansas, respectfully make the following report;
 We have carefully examined the Illi- nois bayou from Smiths ferry to Hick- mans crossing, about six miles above Scottsyille. h our opinion there ought to be three bridges on this stream be- tween points above mentioned, to-wit :: One about two hundred yards above the old Pless mill place; one west of Dover. little above the old fish trap, and little below where the Dover aud Clarksyille road now crosses the bayou, and the other at Hickman's crossing.
 We have also examined Big Piney and believe there ought to be \ bridge across 1t at q point between the l. J. Brown and Towards fields on the west, opposite VIII Rushing's field on the east, and about two hundred yards be- low the point of Parker's mountain.
 We have also examined Point Remove creek and think there ought to be one across 1t, at point opposite the Beeson field, immediately below where slough empties into said creek, the road from it extending up bank of said slough on Beesonls field abont two hundred yards to a section line dividing said Beeson's farm from Mrs. Burnett's farm, thence due west along said section line to where 1t intersects the Atkins and Springfield road.
 Your Honor will observe from this report that (in our OpiniOn) there are five nridgas needed in the county, and we don't think that we oveFstrain the matter when we say that they are need- ed badly. They are needed for the ac- commodation of the citizens or our county, who are necessarily cut of from communication with the outside world for weeks at time during high water in these streams. They are nccd-

 At Newport the excursion party to the east took the north bound train for St. Louis, while those who decided to forego the pleasure of that trip returned to their respective homes.
 Thus ended one of the most en- joyable and profitable sessions Of the Arkansas press association eyer held. In fact, we believe it is con- ceded that, taken all together, the Batesyille meeting far surpassed them all in the business transacted and progress made toward profitable cooperation among the publishers of the State, in the ability displayed in tue addresses delivered, in the character and importance of the es- says and papers read, as well as Tn the royal welcome extended and the superb entertainment and diversions arranged for the enjoyment of the association.
