A white boy named George Hurst was !.
drowned in the river, last Friday, oppo. '
site the McGrew mines, on the Ray
county side OF the river. The body was re- 9
covered the next day near the place where
he went down. The body had fioated
against a snag, and the boy, with what
strength he had left, had grasped the
snag and held to it. He was about IA

Mr.. John II. Hamilton, mayor Of the
town Of Mena, Arkansas, and DR.. L. L.
Lindsay, a citizen Of that place, were here
Tuesday, to examine our system Of water
works. Mr.. Ed. 8. Grace, OF Chicago,
representing the Abendroth. Root Manu-
featuring Company, accompanied them.
The gentlemen were we'll pleased with our
water system, and will, no doubt, order 1t
to be duplicated at Mena. They have the
money In their city treasury to pay for
the works.
Our street car line feels the wave OF
prosperity" In the absence Of the GUS
tomary drummer trade. Our hotels now
miss the genial smile Of the drummer,
aud they also miss the merry jingle OF his
silver coin. We understand that one
hotel at Higglnsville, the drummer head
quarters for that town, Is not doing half
az much business with that class OF
people az 1t did two months ago. But
most OF the drummers voted for this
thing three years ago, and they are
getting what they voted for. But 1t Is
awful hard on others.

of years, operated q frst-class vestibuled

sists Of Pullman cars, drawing room cars
and dining cars, but the Southern has
still further improved the service by plac'
ing on this train the latest style Pullman
: Library and Observation cars, between
. New York and Atlanta. These cars arr
u Pullman's latest build, and altogether tn
train is now one Of the most delightful
" operated In the United States. u
