PROSPERITY IN SOUTH.

Cause Good Showing of St. Louis Southwestern
 Railway Earnings.

Mercantile and agricultural prosperity in the Southwest is re- flected in the handsome gains in the gross earnings of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway, or Cotton Belt Route. For April and
 May, the revenue from operation shows an increase of $l44, 900, with $34, 600 for April and $11O. 00O for May.
 The heavy volume of traffic justifies the preparations which the company has made to take
 care of the autumn business, and there will be immediate use for
 the new motive power and equip nnent which will be received in August from the builders.
 For the freight service there has b ee n ordered eighteen locomotives of the consolidation type and four mogul switching engines. Delivery will also be made in August of twenty all steel passenger coaches. The engines are being built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and the coaches by the American Car & Foundry Company, of St Louis.
 The company has received two locomotive cranes for the shop yards in Tyler, Texas. and Pine Bluff, Ark, and a wrecking crane for general purposes.
 In all probability, contracts will be awarded this year for g number of new refrigerator cars. The earley fruit and vegetable movement from Texas and Ark ansas requires several thousand refrigerator cars, and the pro- duction is becoming 50 enormous as to compel the acquisition of additional equipment.

The annual outing and picnic |of the Brinkley Presbyterians was rained out on Tuesday, and while everyone was happy to see the much needed rain there were many disappointed people.

into camp with the sinuous stealth of
