The discovery OF phosphate has
aroused great interest at Eva and
other points in the tenth district.
It's value has not been fully deter
mined, but it will be tested and if
it comes up to expectations there
are fortunes hidden beneath the
green hills Of old Benton.

A charter was granted the company
this week, and the line is being ex-
tended from Big Sandy to Paris
and other points in Henry County.

Mr.. G. FL. Sweat. Of jackson,
Tenn, was in town this week rep
Presenting the we'll known lirm oi
Seasongood, Troy &c Krous, of Gin
cinnati, manufacturer of mems
| boys and children's fine "ready-
to-wear" clothing. He tells us he
sold Messrs. Stigall & Potts one OF
| the largest and most complete bill
of clothing ever sold in. Benton
| County, some of the very finest
goods manufactured by this cele-
brated factory.
The board Of eQualizers are still
in session rs we go to press. The
| work Of the board is entirely differ.
ent this year from what it has been
heretofore, and the members have
| had a great deal to contend with in
making their report under The new
law. They must classify and de-
scribe every tract Of land in The
county something that has never
been done beforehand the task is
arduous and very exacting in de.
tails, and they are having a great
| deal to contend with in securing
reliable information, it being often
necessary to send to remote parts
OF the county for such information
Justice J. lei. Hudson, of Bris,
tow, was in the city Wednesday.
He has been informed by relatives
IN Iowa that Bristow is to have
railroad connection. This proba-
bly, refers to the proposed railroad
from Cairo, Ill, to Birmingham,
Ala, mention of which was made
in these columns a few weeks ago.
1t IS thought that the Illinois Cen
tral is behind the move. The ben
efts and advantages which would
follow the construction of such a
line through our county can hardly
be estimated, and If the line should
be pushed through let us avoid the
mistake of a few years ago andmake
a united effort to bring it this way.
This is necessary if we get theroad,
be sure of that fact.
