UNWlsE Rock Democrat in all it

The negroes of the city who are

meritorious of all the aid it could
receive, and is not an unworthy object
upon which he favor asked at the

would omen the door for other denOm-

government of the United States than
the complete enforcement of church

the state to cooperate in any way with
any particular church by the lending CT

Mr.. Randall and his crew of survey
ors are back in Fordyce. They finish
ed the survey of a line from this place
to a point in Bradley county, where
they intercepted the road of the Ar
kansas Lumber company leading from
Warren in this direction and then
came back to survey line from here
to Hampton; but before starting they
will make some changes in the sur
vey north of this place before they
cross the tram road of the Fordyce
Lumber company. The object is to
cross that road as soon as possible.
This will throw them farther west
and they will come into town in the
western portion. perhaps about where
the FOrdyce Lumber company's road
runs.
