one forcibly of certain conceptions of

passengers and freight, rises to level

from the assurance of the foreman that

Not everybody knows that a
booming young city is coming tc

Texarkana, on the Texarkana & Ft.
Smith railroad, but it is a fact nev-
erthless.
Winthrop is the name of this city,
and, in view of its fine location, at
the soon to-be terminus Of one rail.
road, and the principal inland town
on another, its fame is not surpris-
ing The Texarkana & Fort Smith
road will soon be completed to it,
and a branch railroad will be built
out to Rocky Comfort. This will
give it two railroads.
Winthrop is located on a beauti-
full high plateau, midway between
the Red and Little rivers, with no
city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana, and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for big trade from this
fertile region.
