FINE UNION [)Eif'jjT
WARNER, CUMMINS AND EASTERN
PEOPLE WANT ONE FOR
PINE BLUFF.
Propose . Join Other Roads Of City
and Erect Handsome and Com
snodious Structure.
ERClAL LEAGUE TO AID IT..

MessrS. Nick Peay and Joe Frank
lin, prominent business men OF
Little Rock are in the city today III
the interest of the new line of rail
way that will be run through this
county. The line is known as the
Cummins and Warner rad. and will
extend from Cummins, Jefferson
county, through Pine Bluff and Warner
to Watson in Grant county, distance
of about 55 miles. Engineers have
been in the field for some time sur
yeying the territory and the right-of-
way for most of the road has been Sc
cured The promoters of the road say
is is an assured fact that 1t will be
built, and their object in coming to
this city is to make arrangements for
the building of new union depot at
this place in order that the proper
connection may be made with the
Iron Mountain at this place A meet
ing of the representative men and
members of Commercial league will
be held tonight for the purpose of CO.
operating with the builders of the road
in securing site for new union de-
pot on the west side of the city. The
promoters also urge that the new road
will materially aid the cotton men OF
thic city and little Rock tG secure
much of the produce that now goes to
Memphis, and strong bid will be
completed. Messrs. Peay and Frank
lin represent ST. Louis and Chicago
capital, and will stay here several
days in their efforts to interest local
business men. 1t is possible that To-
cal capital may have to put up cash
bonus to get the union depot built,
but it is thought that the bonus can
easily be raised in case there Is
prospect of getting the depot. The
site suggested is in the western por-
ton of the city, near the junction OF
the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain
tracks 1t is urged that this is the
bst possible site, as it would he close
to the street car line, and keep the
tracks from blocking the principal
business streets of the city during the
arrival and departure Of trains.

Ours is not to wage an offensive
warfare, but to dwell together in uni
ty, but should our territory be inyad-
ed or our forts be besieged we have
in stock plenty Of defensive powder.
In many places we have met the

gratulate ourselves on being favored
