THE GREAT
SOUTHWE ST
MANY SEEKING HOMES WHERE
LANDS ARE CHEAP AND
CLIMATE IS MILD.
Low RATES FOR HoMEsEEKERs AND COL
oNIsTs TWICE A MONTH.

Many farmers in the Northern and
Eastern states are selling their high
priced lands and locating in the South
west-in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Texas. Many who have been un-
able to own their homes in the older
country are buying land at the low
prices prevailing in the new country
So, $40 and $15 per acre and up. These
lands are mostly cut-over timber lands
some of them possessing a deep itch
soil producing corn, wheat, oats, clover
cotton, fruits and vegetables. Well
improved farms are scattered through
out this country. Many places with
small clearings and some improvements
can be bought very cheap. Our de-
scriptive literature gives fairly good
idea of this country 1t tells about the
soil, crops, climate, people, schools
and churches, water, health. 1t con
tains maps showing location of countise
towns, railways and streams, and gives
names and addresses of real estate
dealers in the towns.
Reduced rates for homeseekers and
colonists are in effect first and third
Tuesdays of each month, by way of st.
Louis, Cairo or Memphis and the Cot.
ton Belt Route. Let us send you our
literature and quote you rates.

If you are going to Arkansas or Texas
purchase your tickets over the Iron
Mountain Route via Memphis. This
is the sure way. TheIron Mountain is
not a new line, on the contrary it is an
old line that has been carrying people
to and from the states of Arkansas and
Texas for years, and has assisted very
materially in developing and settling
the country, and has prospered and
improved accordingly until now it is
second to none in the west. Other
wise, we could not offer Che Emigrant,
the Business Man and the Tourist the
excellent service we can today. Chair
cars on this line run from Memphis
without change to Dallas, Eft. Worth
and other important cities in Texas.
Cafe and dining car service on all
through trains, If you were going to
buy an article of merchandise you
would try and got the best yeu could
for your money. Why not apply the
same rule to railroad tickets? Why
experiment when our rates are as low
as those of other lines, with our two
trains every day from Memphis. Low
rate Colonist tickets on sale the first

Fined for Assault.

Considerable excitement was caused
near the intersection of King and Royal
streets Saturday by an encounter which
took place between young man named
James Quayle and man named Wright,
who was selling cheap jewelry. The
tNuble between the peddler and Quayle
was the result of dispute in which the
latter misunderstood the terms upon
which he had purchased watch chain.
Ouayle mounted the buggy in which
Wright was standing and both fell into
the street. In the scuffle Wrights gaso-
line torch fell, and when the man yelled
for assistance those on the outskirts OF
the crowd thought he was on fire. After
the fight Wright was carried into w. f.
Creighton & Co.'S drug store and later to
the Office of DIR. T. NJ. Jones, where 1t
was found necessary to take several
stitches in a scalp wound. Besides that
injury. there are several protuberances
on his head, where it was said he was
kicked by his assailants. Quayle was
later arrested, together with another
Young man named James Self, who was
CHARGED with kicking Wright after he
fell into the street This morning when
the case was called Wright was not pres
ent. Quayle forfeited $50 by falling
ito appear and Self was fined an equal
amount

Marrow Escape of a Train.

There was considerable excitement IN
the neighborhood of the intersection OF
King and Henry streets about o CLOCK
this morning when collision between :"
north. hound electric train and north
hound passenger train on the Southern
Railway was narrowly averted. 1t seems
that the latter train was proceeding up
Henry street. between Prince and King,
when an electric train arrived at the
crossing at King and Henry streets.
Mr. Peter w. Simpson, the hagman at
the crossing, had taken his position in
the center of the intersection and was
waving his flag. The electric train had
stopped and the trolleyman had taken
his stand near Mr.. Simpson. The steam
train was putting and snorting about
half square south of King street, when,
from some unexplained reason, the
motorman started his train. Mr.. Simp-
son and the trolleyman signalled for him
10 stop. but the train kept on across the
track. Engineer Charles Strobel, OF the
Southern, who had seen the train sta
tionary, supposed it would remain
east of the crossing until his train should
pass, but when he saw it moving ahead
of him he closed the throttle, put on the
brakes and brought his train to stand
still at a safe distance from the electric
cars. Passengers on the latter, however,
became panic-stricken and many STAN
peded from the cars, some in their hurry
falling. but fortunately escaping injury.
The demolition ofan electric car by steam
train at King and Fayette streets some
years ago has not been forgotten, and it
was an object-lesson of what could hap
pen. Fortunately it was an empty
train and no one was hurt. The incl
dent this morning is another warning.
Had the Southern train been south
bound it is doubtful whether it could
have been stopped in time to avoid a
collision, as a faster speed is observed IN
entering than leaving the city.

Bombarded a Train.

When the 1880 train on the electric
railway left Washington for this city Sat
urday night some trouble occurred on
board between several young men living
in Fairfax county, short distance from
this city, and some colored people. When
the train reached Arlington Junction the
negroes got offfor the purpose of taking a
train for Arlington in which neighbor-
hood they live. As the electric train for
this city moved away they bombarded it
with stones, creating considerable con-
sternation among the passengers. Fortu-
uately, however, no one was hurt, although
some windows were broken.
