GOOD NEWS IF TRUE.
A Move on Foot to Get the Texas
Federal Court Move here From
jefferson, Texas.

There has been a quiet canvass
made for signatures, in the various
counties composing the Federal
court district to get the seat OF the
court moved from jefferson, Texas,
TO this place.
The petition has been favorabIy
acted upon in every county in the
district, with the exception Of
Marion county, where the court is
now situated
We suppose congressman Shep-
pard will take the matter up and
ask for the proper recognition Of
this place for future sessions Of the
court.
A few thousand dollars expended
on the present public buildings
would place it fit for both courts.
Texarkana has railroads pene-
trating every part of the territory,
that would contribute to this court,
while jefferson is very differently
situated.
There is no one but who can see
that this is the place at glance OF
the map and we hope the district
in its efforts to have the change
made will be successful.

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS.
One Hundred Men Engaged in Con-
struction of Long Distance Lines
in the State of fArkansas.

Superintendent Powell, of the
Southwestern Telephone company,
in conversation with 4 Gazette re
preventative yesterday said: Few
people realize at what rapidity our
people are developing the telephone
system in this state. During the
past year the company made many
important connections with our
long distance system; Fort Smith
on the west, Helena, Memphis and
Tennessee on the east, Texarkana
and all Texas points on the south.
In making these connections the
company used fourteen hundred
miles of wire, each circuit being
constructed of the heaviest copper
wire, thereby insuring perfect SER
vice. Within six months every
town on the Iron Mountain railway
from Texarkana to Batesville will
be added to our list. We now have
one hundred men engaged in the
construction of these lines, and vii
begin operating stations the latter
part of this month. "
