Railroad Extension.

The Malvern Times-Journal says
that the talk of extending the Dla-
moud 10 road to Pine Bluff is being
revived. What's the matter with
extending 1t to Gurdon to connect
with the Iron Mountain and secure
a connection with the Cotton Belt
and a water way to the gulf This
is the natural course for the road
to 90, If it is going anywhere, and
we have a hankering suspicion that
it will about go there if all signs dc
not fail,-[Hot Springs Democrat,
The year promises to be a great
year for railroad buildings and eX'
tensions and we hope to see the
Diamond 10" reach out for more
miles Of hauling capacity than it
now has. Get a move on you 40"
and build over to the Conton Belt
and this road will give you more
business than you can possibly
dream Of, The Cotton Belt is man
aged by good people and you could
not hitch your south end feeder on
a better road in Arkansas.
