From Places Along the hi

Mound City Will. fer at least ten
years. remain as the county seat Of
Pulaski county, having yesterday DE-.
feated Mounds, her thriving sitter city,
for that honor by a safe majority.

laski county at the late general elec-
ton Had the vote been closer 4
contest might have resulted as Mount
City claimed that the law required
majority of all the voters in the
county.
AS was expected, the heaviest vote
for Mounds came from the towns
along the Illinois Central where the
| vote was almost solid in favor of the
removal proposition. Those towns
along the Big Four were With Mound
City.
The sudden change in the weather.
Lit is claimed by Mounds people hal
lmuch to do with their defeat a. i
was necessary to get out a large vote
for the proposition TO win. Only Il
total of l6S votes were cast in favor
Of Mound City. A peculiar fact in
connection with the election was that
both Mounds and Mound City stood
pat. neither giving the other a single
vote. In Mound IL votes were cas-.
in favor of removal while in Mound
City not a single vote in either pro
cinct was polled. Two ballots were
marked. but We're thrown out by the
judges because Of error in marking.
The victory was hailed with delight
by Mound City people as they nave
assurances that il means a now court
hourse there at once. For several
years the matter has been agitated at
different times, but under the law
cannot be submitted to vote for ten
years.
When it was finally decided to
bring the question to vote the
Mound City people raised subserip
ton amounting to $4,000 which. with
deed for two lots were donated to
the county commissioners, with the
that If the election re-.
suited favcrably the money and lots
we're to be used for site and for the
erection of a new court house. In
case of defeat the money was to re-
vert to the doners and the lots to the
city. Mounds people also had donated
ground and $4,000 cash on Ike con
ditions.

Bought A Beautiful Home.

During his recent visit to North
Arkansas Senator Sims, of Lake
Village, Chicot county, spent con-
siderable time in investigating the
merits and attractions OF all the
principal towns OF our section. He
had decided to leave the river
bottoms of southeast Arkansas for
the mountains, and wanted home
where he could feel content to settle
down for the rest olhis days. Being
a man OF extensive travel as well as
of means, it may be considered more
than an ordinary tribute to Harri-
son and vicinity to say that he had
been here but a few hours until he
decided that the very place he was
looking Tor had been found.
Mr.. Sims inrther displayed both
good taste and judgment by the
purchase of the beautiful Wilson
Spring Farm, mile and half east
of Harrison, which was secured
from W. w. Larimer, for So 500.
The purchase includes the fine spring,
which has always been a iavorite
resort for our picnickers, and which
could be easily transferred into an
ideal summer resort 1t is rumored
that Mr.. Sims plans the erection OF
a modern hotel on this site, but
whether he does this or not, he can
easily have one of the most attract.

On Tuesday afternoon a meeting
of our citizens was called at X z.

Mr.. Squires laid his plans and prop
