Mr. ] y , ankiin OF Little X It Ee
Cf il { promoters &C the Warner. Cum
mins and Eastern road, arrived TIL
1rnrrj22 and is in consultation vita I
number OF business men today regard
ing the bringing of that road into Pine
l,lnt. Mr. Franklin says that his prop
a. itlon submitted some time ago TO the
Commercial league is still open. and if
the league does not act upon it he will
the business men personally and inter
e..ting them. The proposition is that
the road will come to Pine Bluff from
Warner and will locate its shops and de-
pot here if the business men will sub
scribe SO 600 toward the expenses et
building. The promoters also promise
to use their influence with theZIron
Mountain and the Cotton Belt roads in
securing new union depot to be To-
Gated in the west end of the city. and
ii ey are confident that the new depot
can be built They have selected an
ideal site, and. if built the new depot
would relieve Pine Bluff of the shacks
that are now supposed to represent
deDots at this place.
A meeting Of all the citizens inter
ested in the proposition will be called
for next Monday night. when Hon. Nor
ris NJ. Cohn OF Little Rock. will deliver
talk relative to the building of tIs
road.
The survey of the eastern branch of
the road from Cummins will be COM
pleted by next Saturday, and the engi-
neers will then be ready to start the
survey from Pine Bluff to Warner Mr..
Franklin says the road will certainly be
built and they are anxious to interest
local business men in order that Pine
Bluff may get the connections so much
desired

Railroads. Agree on Retrenchment.

Railroads. Agree on Retrenchment.
That tacit, if not a signed and seal
ed, agreement has been made by many
CT the great railroad systems to MOI
only pursue policy of retrenchment
but to absolutely refuse any further :
mands from their employees for fur
cepted as a fact in fnanciaI circles.
says the ST. Louis Rpublc.
In the policy of retrenchment not
only is a cost Of the operating cost
agreed on, but a discontinuance Of all
extension or Improvement work not alb
solutly necessary.
This is said to be due to the high
price of material used by railroads in
the construction of bridges and tracks,
which, added to the cost of labor at the
scales now in effect causes the net
earnings to drop perilously near the
fixed charges.
1t is also contended that the heavy
freight tt;,lic is in a great measure let
ting up. Two of the large steel plant )
il the cast have been closed down. and
other industries, by which the roads
earned large freight revenues have
either shut up or materially decreaS ID
their output until the traffic is much
less than formerly
Under these conditions. it is argued
that the number of employees kept reg
ularly at work can be lessened and in
= consequence many of the men lail oil.
Especially il this true in the car and re-
pair shops, maintenance Of way depart
ment and Improvement corps.
II is believed the reduction of force
will go on for some time, and all de
partments will feel the effects either
in the shortening of the hours Of work,
when the men are paid by the hour CT
the discharge Of many of the en-
ployes.

The Game OF Fishpon

The New York Herald describes an
amusing little parlor game which
needs no materials and is warranted
to create fun.
The pond is portion of the table
bounded by a slipnoose and the fishes
are the fingers Of the players.
The moose is fastened to a rod held
by the fishermen. At an unexpected
moment the fisherman cries, "Out Of
the pond." and at the same instant
raises the rod quickly, thus drawing
up the moose and catching such fishes
as have not been nimble enough to
escape to dry land.
The captured fishes must pay for.
feits to be released.

TO GET RID OF RATS.
Writer Recommends Dipping the Yer
min in VarniSh,

All tradesmen being liable to the
incursions and depredatfons of rats.
it may not be out OF place to mention
method of getting rid Of these pests
which is recommended by cores
pondent Of the Birmingham Daily
Post. This consists in thinning down
with petroleum ordinary slOw-drying
tar varnish such as bedstead makers
and japanners use and pouring the
mixture into the runs OF the rats,
TIE vermn are said to loathe the
smell of the stuff, and will do any
1hirg to get clear of it. A still mora
effective plan is said to be to catch
rat alive, dip it up to the neck in the
Farnish and turn it loose. It's fel-
lows will flee from it as from the
deIl. The dipping process is said to
be harmless to the rat. But some
ironmongers may not care to dip
I've. rat up 10 its neck.

Cotton Sales at England.

It will be of interest to many of eur
readers to know how many bales of cot
ton have been shipped from This city
and the Courier has made an effort
to get the correct figures. which are
as follows: Square bales, 5,761; round
bales, 5000; total 10,761 This is up
to December l. I4.cre is probably
1000 bales yet unpicked and in the
hands of the farmers, which will swell
the number to 1,761 for the season.
This amount is at least 5000 bales
short of last seasons shipment, but
the extraordinary high price received
for it will make up for the deficit in
yield.-Enngland Courier.

Of Jonesboro with a street car line con-
meeting the two places. This done and
all of Nettleton would come here to

would be one
