MOUNTAIN DIVISION CHANCES.
Missouri Division Extension to ftOMe May leave Poplar Bluff Out in Cold
 in Matter of Railway Importance.

The announcement of a change in the passenger divisions on the main line of the Iron Mountain has aroused Poplar Bluff to the threatened dasger and a mass meeting of the citizens has been called by Mayor R. c. Felts.
 As many of the conductors and trainmen have homes and prop erty interests in Poplar Bluff, they look with decided disfavor upon the probable change. Ac- cording to General Manager Sullivan's circular, the Missouri division is extended from St. Louis to Hoxie aud the Arkansas division continues from Hoxie to Texarkana. Poplar Bluff too has a mail crane for the fast No. 7 and the crews on this train will change at Hoxie and the chances are other trains will soon do likewise.
 These fast trains laundering through Newport the terminal of the White River railroad, are apt to have some serious accl- dent in the local yards, owing to bad switch, or COW on the track, for many frequent the Newport yards.
 When fast through service from Newport to Kansas City over the White River line is ac- complished, stops will undoubt- edly be made by all trains at Newport, to accommodate a big passenger business at the inter- section of two lines of the same system.

"Her Only Sin"

A very good crowd saw Julia Gray, supported by an only toler- ably fair company in Her Only Sin" at the opera house Monday night. The drama is one of Lin- coin J. Carter's, but it would never have won him his reputa- tion. It is supposed to be a re- markable study of human emo tions and mixes family feelings up considerably and very natur- ally, as the husband and father is nothing more than a hopeless sot, demonized by drink.
 The plot covers the run of a lifetime; the baby never shown walks forth a man and the scenes shift often and far enough to prevent monotony.
 The star was popular with her "audience," but this word is hardly applicable, for audio means to hear and as Julia Gray had a weak voice, there were many who didn't hear sufficiently we'll. Her good looks and dram atic power covered this fault and brought her frequent ap- plause.
 Her good friend Dora Strong and legal adviser MT. Bond furnished the fun. An old maid from choice, she was neverthe- less vulnerable and at 61 yielded in school girl style to the wooing of her admirer of GA.

The lots in the new town of kinta, l. T., are selling faster than any new town opened since the days of Enid, Pond Creek, Ponca and few others.
 Many people claim, who really are in close touch with the new town and surround ings, that Kinta will be a city of from 2,0O0 to 5000 in two years or less.
 What would that mean to you should you own one of these lots that are centrally located, as all tMat 1 am of / fering are?
 It would mean probably 1,OO0% to you on the in- vestment. Kinta has fine agricultural lands, great coal, gas and oil deposits. Why shouldn't it be a great place? If you have not bought, do so now.
