Tuesday afternoon w. L. Coley
and Jerry B. Burks, attorneys for
the defendants in the libel suit of
Edward A. Rozier against Judge
o. Nations and his son, R.
Heber Nations, filed an application
in the circuit court for a change of
venue, on the ground that the
Circuit Judge, Charles A. Killian,
is SO prejudiced against defendants
that they believe they cannot have
a fair and impartial trial before
him. The court and prosecuting
attorney INDUCED in some un-
complimentary remarks about the
defendants and one of their at
torneys, Mr.. Coley, but the change
of venue was granted, and the
court ordered the case sent to the
circuit court of Iron county, where
will probably come up before
Judge bearing at the April term
next year.-Farmington Times.
The first spike was driven to-day
in the building of the double track
from the south to Poplar Bluff, the
commercial gateway of the Iron
railway system. The
and tressels having been
put in shape to receive the steel,
the large crews of the construction
department were put to laying the
rails a short way south of this city
and by January ist it is-hoped
that the score of daily trains will
steam in and out of the Poplar
Bluff terminal on double tracks.
The double track will extend to a
point one mile south of Harviell,
a distance of eight miles. Sixty
of the road north of Little
Rock also three miles on either
side of Newport, Ark, r being
double tracked. The plan is to
double all the way from Poplar
Bluff to observation-disclosures Bluff

Desloge Sun: SIN the election of
a County Judge in the western
part of Iron county, at the last
election, the vote was a tie between
Messrs. Phillips and Scott for the
honor. At the recount, held this
week, the vote was unchanged.
But it seems that some forty years
back a law was placed on our
statutes providing for the adjust
ment of such a condition, and
leaving it for the sheriff of the
county to cast the vote that would
unite the matter. Iron county has
a Democratic sheriff, and when it
vas left to him he cast his decid-
ing vote for the Democratic can
didate, which has caused our
friend, Fuller Swift, of the Enter
prise, considerable worry, that
gentleman thinking that the
sheriff should have drawn lots in
the matter-a sort of gambling
scheme, you know"
In consequence of a severe cold
contracted by Miss Harrington,
the Recital promised for last FRI
day evening was perforce post
poned until Tuesday night. The
audience-it was a goodly one
that was assembled on the first
evening, though disappointed Of
an expected treat, was friendly and
sympathetic; and when the time
of the second appointment came,
nearly every ticket-holder was
present. All were repaid amply
with the program given. Miss
Harrington has a voice of wonder.
