Apparently obllylous to the sports OF

Meet After Long Separation.

John Hilangstiihlar of Bonneville and Henry Hilangstiihlar of Brick shof, Germany, who had not seen each other for forty-two years, met recently. John Frederick Hilangstii- hlar left his home in Germany forty two years ago. He went to New Or leans and subsequently, located at Bonneville. In all these years the brothers had carried on very little and they had passed from each others memory The broth CT from Arkansas had become thor oughly Americanized during his long stay in this country and had lost his hold on his mother tongue. The one from Germany could only talk in the language of his country. This made the meeting of the two somewhat ludicrous and also necessary for the little daughters of the German broth CT to act as interpreters.

Division Point Decided.

It is said upon good authority that the division offices of the White Riv- CT branch of the Iron Mountain are to be moved from Aurora, Mo, to Cot ter within thhe next 30 days. This will make Cotter the big division point on the line, and means much for that young town. It was rumor- ed that Crane would be the division point. but it has since been amour ced that thet place will be only loc- al freight division point It is also said that 20 new train crews will be stationed at Cotter after June 1, which probably means that more trains are to be put on the White RiY- CT division, among the number will be a passenger train each way daily. At the time the White River line was being built it was said that after the road was in thorough operation there would be 52 trains daily over the line. This seems probable if the Missouri Pacific handles all it's Southern traf- fic over the White River line, as 1t Is the shortest and fastest way to the South at present
