Jonesboro, Newport 6 Western Railroad Will Use Portion of Bonneville Branch Strikes
 That Road at Pitts.

Construction work on the new Jonesboro, Newport & Western railroad has been commenced and for many miles southwest of Jonesboro, stumps are being blown and the right-of-way cleared preparatory to laying the track.
 At Grubbs in this county, the dynamiting can be heard and the final survey of the road has been made to Pitts in Poinsett county, where the road strikes the Bon- nerville & Southwestern. From Pitts for a distance of five miles the branch will be used to a point three miles west of Grubbs, or at the second commissary be- low.
 From here the survey has been made to Newport, and within the present year it seems highly probable that Newport will have a Frisco connection to Jonesboro.
