souri, Blue Book and locate Judge

SO he will learn that Dunklin

the Twenty second circuit, while
Ripley and Butler counties con-
stitute the Thirty-third judicial
circuit, ably presided over by
Jesse c. Sheppard. Now, sena-
tor Ely, of Dunklin county, or

and a "dry" platform, but Hon.
John Morgan Atkinson, in our
opinion, has too much common
sense to become entangled in Mr..
Folks meshes. Mr.. Atkinson is
a Democrat, and as such will
abide by the will of a majority of
the people in this matter as in
others,regardless Of personal con-
victions, but he is not the man to
be dictated to by one who chang
es easason this and other public
matters to suit his own conven-
ience. We would like to see Mr..
Atkinson nominated by the Dem.

credible, more dignified, execu-

but we would not like to see him
handicapped with prediction

We hear it reported on pretty
good authority that the Missouri
Southern Railway is seriously
contemplating the running of a
branch line from their Leeper-
Salem road to Van Buren, in the
near future, and perhaps at some
later date, from on through the
counties to the south and west of
here. The road would probably
leave the former "narrow-guage",
at Boyd on Tip top, and would
reach this place by way of Car
ters Creek, andif the extension
is made, it will probably be be-
fore a great period Of time has
elapsed. The news comes to US
through Attorney s. L. Clark,
who has been in communication
with L. F. Dinning, attorney for
the Missouri Southern Company,
for some time regarding the mat
ter. Judge Dining brought the
proposition before the board OF
directors through P. r. Walsh,
one OF the board, and formerly
general manager of the road
here. Attorney Clark states that
in an interview with Mr.. Walsh
in ST. Louis q few days ago, that
gentleman gave him the assur-
ance that the company would be
glad to extend the road to that
point IL the people here can give
them an assurance that their
patronage would be accorded the
