FARMERS ENDORSE PRESCOTT BANKERS
AND MERCHANTS

The following resolutions were
passed by the farmers of Nevada
county, in mass meeting assem-
bIed at the court house, in Pres
'cott, on December 5, 1907:
Resolved, That we feel grateful
and highly appreciate the kind
mess of the Bankers and busi-
mess men of Prescott that assist
the farmers to hold their cotton
for the minimum price of fifteen
cents, and that we will patronize
such men and bankers, and en-
courage others to do likewise.
And resolved, further, That we

ent portions OF the county, and
has received many encouraging
solicitations from his friends to
run for this Office. He says he
has made dilligent inquiry as to
whether there was any proba-
bility Of anyone else offering for
this office, and has heard of no
one except the present encum-
bent, Ed Hood.
Mr.. Warren says if. the field is
left open to him and Mr.. Hood,
he feels sure he will come up
with enough votes on election
day to make him the next sheriff
of Nevada county, since Mr..
Hood has held the office six
years, or will have held it six
years at the expiration Of his
present term. He argues that
he can not believe that the dem
ocraey Of Nevada county sready
to establish the rule of continu-
alton in Office, when there are
other good men in the party
equally as well qualified to I'll
the different offices as those al
ready in Office.
1t is generally conceded thai
there is no better qualified mar
in the county for this office, ol
for most any other county office
than John P. Warren. The Pic.
ayune asks that the good people
of Nevada county give Mr.. War,
ren's candidacy a most earnest
and careful consideration, and il
you elect him to this office you
can rest assured that Nevada
county has never had a better
man for sheriff.

PROPOSED new RAIL-
ROAD FOR PRESCOTT
New Line From DeQueen to For
dyCe-WilI Pass Through
Rich Timber Belt.

Special to the Picayune.
The many people of the coull-
try, interested in its develop
ment, will be glad to learn that
a new railroad is very likely to
be built from Banks to Fordyce
thence to Holly Springs and west
to Dequeen, where it will be con-
nected with the Kansas City
Southern.
For many years the people OF
Fordyce and the western part of
the county have wanted a road
running through the section this
road will traverse, and now 1t
looks like their wishes will be re-
allied.
This road will give the people
or Holly Springs township and
the western part of the county a
direct railway to Fordyce where
they may wish to buy goods or
reach the roads of the Rock Is
land or Cotton Belt. .....sSs. .. a........... d
The great lumber plants at
Fordyce, Warren, Prescott and
DeQueen and the many small
manufacturing concerns along
the new road are in easy reach of
four great railroad systems-The
Gotten Belt, Rock Island, Iron
Mountain and Kansas City and
Southern. With the new road a
better freight rate is certainty.
Ours is a live, up to date and
progressive town and always
ready to welcome any new enter
prise, and we are sure our citizens
will offer any reasonable induce
ment to secure this road.
Another railroad would bring
many new enterprises to our
town, increase the population and
improve business of all kinds.
Mr.. Banks believes the new
road would be a paying propo-
sitias can be seen from the follow
ing, which is the substance of a
letter addressed to Messrs. Clapp
and Mansfield, of the Warren
q Ouachita Valley Railroad at
Warren:
Il believe that it is entirely prac-
ticable to build a railroad from
Warren to Fordyce, from there
to Prescott, and on to DeQueen
on the Kansas City Southern.
On eXaminatiod you will find
that the Ozan Lumber Co. of
Prescott have extended their
road in a westward direction,

DeQueen have extended their
road easterly, so that now there
remains a gap of only about
twelve miles between the two to
make a connecting road from
Prescott to DeQueen.
Not long since some parties
came to Fordyce with the eXpec-
tation of building a road from
Sayre to Fordyce. The plant ex-
poets to put a hardwood mill at
Sayre and wanted to make con-
nection with the Rock Island and
Cotton Belt at this place. Should
the road be built from Warren to
Fordyce there would then be a
continuous road from Warren to
DeQueen on the Kansas City
Southern, with the exception of
a small gap between Prescott
- I c, .41zzxal~a q esa!
and Savre.- sa.u.xa6 - um
On examination you will notice
that the road will be almost as
straight as the crow flies, y and
also that it would be perhaps one
of the best tonnage propositions
that could possibly be gotten up
in the state today.
To give you some idea what
there is along the proposed route,
will enumerate as follows:
Dierks Lumber and Coal Co.
Caddo River Lumber Co.
Ozan Lumber Co. of Prescott
A hardwood mill at Prescott.
Hardwood plant at Sayre.
Arkedelphia Lumber Co.
Eagle Lumber Co.
Fordyce Lumber Co.
Dallas Lumber Co. of Foadyce.
Sparckman Lumber & Ice Co..
of Fordyce.
Sturgis Lumber Co, of Fordyce.
Hampton Stave Co.. Fordyce.
Arkansas Lumber Co. Warren.
Bradley Lumber Co., Warren.
Southern Lumber Co. Warren.
Warren Stave Co., Warren.
Saline River Lumber Company,
Draughon.
All of which tonnage is touch
ed by the direct line from War
ren to Dequeen, as you can readily
see by looking at any railwaymap.
The Caddo River Lumber Co. !,
is a large lumber concern practic-
ally owned by the Ozan Lumber
Co., and situated on their line
west of Prescott.
For my own part, | feel SO
much interested in the PROPOSE
ton that would gladly assist in
any way possible to bring it about,
and would take 800, 900 of the
capital stock.
Col. Sam Fordyce, prominent
railrood builder, at one time tod
me that good scheme could be
carried OFT along the lines herin
indicated, and intimated a will
lingness to join us, if he could be
of any service. "

THE NO-LICENSE VOTE.

One of the most notable features of
the elections in different cities and
towns Tuesday was the vote on the
license question. 1t was expected very
generally that Burlington would vote
in opposition to the licensing of the
age during the coming year unless
some unforeseen combination or COM
plication at the last moment should
serve to shift the current of opinion on
this subject. It was hardly expected,
however, that the verdict in opposition
to the saloons would be so overwhelm-
ing, particularly as burlington had
come to be very generally regarded as
a license city.
It would be difficult to find a town
where the change in public sentiment
has been SO marked III connection with
this issue as in Burlington since the
adoption OF the local option law. In
1903 the total vote on the license qucs-
ton was 3.144 and the yes majority
1850 In 1904 the total vote was 1893
and the majority in favor of license
$40. In 1905 the total vote was 2,9S3
and the yes majority 235. In 1906 the
total vote on the license issue was 1927
and the majority in favor 1871. In 1907
the total vote on the license question.
was 1867, the largest since the new law
went into effect, and the majority
against license was 43l
Barre wheeled back into the license
column, but Colchester, which includes
Winooski, went dry by 10 majority.
| Essex Junction also voted no and those
| Burlingtonans who want to visit a sa-
| loon will have to go TO Shelburne or
perhaps to st. George.
There is manifest determination to
vindicatc local option by thoroughly
enforcing the law in Burlington dur
ing the coming year and some people
insist that II will be as dry during the
twelve months following the expiration
of existing licenses as the desert of
| Sahara. Under the circumstances it
| would seem to be up to both the cham
pions of prohibition and the advocates
of local option to see that the law Is
thoroughly enforced in Burlington.

advantageous in some lines but on the

of water in streams that furnish motive

has caused hardships. Freight traffic has
been heavy and generally largely in ex-

being remedied in part as fast as possible.
Seasonable goods such as clothing and
kindred articles have fourd good markets
