 There was another meeting of the stockholders of the Eureka Springs X Berryvllle Turnpike Co.,, Tuesday, on the matter of closing the bridges on that road. The resignation of J..W.. Free man as president of the company was received and Dr. W. P. George was elected to fill the place. It was decided to repair the bridges and keep them open, and money for that purpose was subscribed. Business men ln Eureka Springs prevailed on the stockholders of that end of the road to take this step in the mat ter, and the stockholders here who did not wish to remain in the company longer and take the risk of an accident on the bridges sold their stock to Eureka Springs parties. This ends the bridge matter for the present at least. The stockholders voted to expend between four and five hundred dollars repairing the bridges, and Emmett Leach will begin the work at once.-Berryville Star.
