By D. E. PERKINS. Carlisle Ark
 For several years Mr. D. D. Per kins, "the Poland-Ghina hog man of Central Arkansas, has spared neith- CT time nor money in working up the hog business in this state. On Nov. 10th, as q crowning effort he held the first public sale of pure bred Poland.China swine ever occurred in the state.
 The weather was dry. clear and bracing and the large crowd congrc- gated in duo time, but as q vast number came from adjoining coun- ties and other states, the hour of sale was postponed from 10 q. m. dn- til 12 m., in order that the visitors might pnrtake freely Of the bountiful feast, prepared for the occasion, be- fore they began to buy hogs" Al ter dinner they convened at the ring" where Hon. ". F. Fletcher, of Lonoke. Ark, made q short speech in which he set forth the terms of the sale.
 After these few remarks Mr F. r.. Grain, the anctioneer, entered the ring and began "te cry the sale. At first the bidding was slow and seemed 10 lag. but ere long | lively interest WAS aroused and prevailed throughout the sale
 Among the many bnvers Afr. r. I. Harden. (with his "ciatI, A4j. lirom Grady. Ark, and Hon. G. W. Yuncey, with no hat at all were the most conspicuous. Both these gentlemen are well up-to-date and know a good hog when they see one. Mr Nancy has served out two terms in the Arkansas Legislature and prefers to play with Poland-China pigs the balance of his days. rather than be associated with the law-mak Ing mobs of Arkansas.
 There were thirteen pigs out Of the seyenty-tWo sold that brought flf- teen dollars and more Many ofthis number sold for twice this amount. The outlook for tho swine business is more promising than has been for some years. There are several new herd i'll the state since the sale.

WILL EXTEND,
THE IRON MOUNTAIN ROAD TO BE EXTENDED TO GREEN.
 WOOD.
Will Rnn Along the South Side of River from Little Rock
 to Greenwood.

Every day develops some new rail- road building toward Fort Smith. The St. Louis papers that came in Sunday contained notice of q Gould extension thnt has been look cd for a long time. The Globe Dem ocrat has the following in regard to 1 1t
 ''It was announced here last even ing that the management of the Mis- soart Pacific Is organizing an engin- eering party to mnke survey for a line from Little Rock to Green wood, Ark. the terminus of the Fort smith branch on the south side of the Ar- kansns river. Air J (. Kclton will have charge of the party; and he leaves St. Louis for the field tOmor- TOW night. This is the first official announcement of theintention of the Gould lines to undertake any work of eXtention In Arkansas for many years past, and the survey to be made is u very healthy indication of improved general conditions
 .'The extension of the system on the south side of the Arkansas river between Little Rock and the tGrmin- us of the Fort Smith branch haslong been considered very desirable It will involve about 165 miles oi con strnction through a country abun- dant in agricultural, timber and mineral resources and will form an abundant connecting link in tue Gould southwestern system. The policy of the Gould management dur ing tie period of long depression was not to extend in any direction, and the Arkansas line movement will he hailed with satisfaction by the peo- pie of that seetion.'
 The extension has been in contcm- plation by the Missouri Pacific for a long time. The route is marked on their maps. It may mean that the Missouri Pacific intends to abandon the Little Rock and Fort Smith road when their lease expires, or it may mean that they are anxious to de velop the country through which it runs.
 No surveying party reached here yesterday. It is not certain that they will be here any time soon. They may commence the survey from Little Rock.
 Work on the road can hardly be- gin before spring, no matter how anxious the company is to get to work It will take several months to make the survey. plats and pro- files and arrange the other prelimi- naries. When work does commence, however, 1t will be pushed rapidly.
 Col Goldman, of the Arkansas Cen tral. was asked yesterday what ef- feet the proposed extension would have on his line.
 None at all" he replied. We knew they had che line in contem. plation and took it into considcra- ton before deciding to build. They will probably go down the Petit Jean Valley. While they are getting ready the Arkansas Central will be building right along, and will be q considerable piece down the coun- try.
