TIE COTTON BELT
Making Substantial Improvements
 on It's Road Bed.-Feneing.

Between this city and Texarkana the Cotton Belt road is making some subs tantial improvements on it's road bed, improvements that when completed will make it one of the most substan tial tracks in the South. The north ead of the road has received the closest of attention for the past several years and is in the finest condition, ,,
 At several points south from here the grade is being cut down, all crooks strengthened and the track put on rock ballast, and when the work is completed a much faster time schedule will be possible. Gravel, taken from the pit near Bearden, is being added to the track the full distance and in time the whole will be in perfect condition Today late improved steam shovel will be added and the work pushed to completion as fast as labor can perform it. The new shovel will be managed by Engineer Steve Rogers, and will have capacity for loading 250 cars per day.
 In time the entire division of the Cotton Belt will be fenced in by  wire. At present the fencing ex- tends to Camden, with the crew yet working south.
 The Cotton Belt in all It's depart ments is managed by intelligent, progressive men, who deserve great credit for the marked improvement noticeable in the road for the past several years.
