new MILL Being
ERECTED TO CUT
HARDWOOD LOGS
T. R. Ashcraft and M. P. All
port Head Company Build
ing Mill at, Wabbaseka.

To manufacture into merchantabie
lumber 100000 feet of virgin hard
wood timber, near Altheimer and Wab-
baseka, the Jefferson Hardwood Lum-
Der company has been formed with a
capital Of $4,000, Thomas R. Ashcraft,
cashier of the Bank Of Altheimer, is
president and owner Of "a shares of
stock of par value of $1G0 each; NJ.
p. Airport secretary'reasurer and
owner of "a shares, and J. P. Alexan-
Ger vice president and owner Of two
shares. The company was formally
organized at Altheimer Saturday.
Work has already started On the
construction, two miles south of jWab-
baseka, of mill that will have ca
pacity of $4,000 feet day. The ma
chinery is on the ground, and it is ex-
pected that the plant will be in opera
ton within three weeks, with Mr.. ALL
port as general manager.
Mr.. Ashcraft and his associates
recently purchased from J. S. McDon-
nell 100000 feet Of what is termed
1.-THE finest hardwood timber in this
section" and the company will prob
ably acquire 100000 additional feet
from Mr.. Mcdonnell. This is oak, ash,
hickory and gum timber, and some OF
it runs as much as $500 feet b. m. to
the acre. Many Of the oak trees are
seven and eight feet in diameter.
1t is estimated that the company
now owns sufficient timber to keep the
plant running Two years, and addition
al timber will likely be purchased be-
fore the stumpage owned is cut out.

They are putting up CDR. Brunson's
Famous Prescription, a remedy for
malaria, and for liver and stomach
trouble, and the demand is taxing the
facilities of the company for manu-
featuring and bottling the medicine.
CDR. Brunson's Famous Prescription
is no. new: it is not patent medi-
cine. DR.. Asa Brunson's father first
prescribed the remedy. and it has been
used successfully in this section for
about Is years. The numerous volun-
tary testimonials to The efficiency Of
the prescription led Reinberger a. Col
]ier to obtain DR.. Brunson's consent to
place the remedy on the market as a
proprietary medicine that the general
public might be enabled to benefit
without the necessity of a special pre-
scription. This is now being done,
and the demand indicates that the viz
ture Of the prescription is well-known
and fully appreciated

CITY MAY BORROW
100000 TO PAY
OVERDUE SCRIP
Eastern F'inanciers Offer
Money at 7 Per Cent,
for Four Years.

The Pine Bluff city council, if it so
desires, has an opportunity to borrow
100000 on city scrip, to fall due one
year from date, at an interest rate of
per cent, which interest rate can be
reduced to something less 6 per cent,
as result of negotiations which have
been under way in the past several
weeks, between members of the coun-
| Gil finance committee and financiers
of the North and East.
None of the members of the finance
committee was willing yesterday to
discuss the matter, because it has not
yet become a certainty, but it is
known that before the next meeting
of the council, November 6, the fl
nanciers involved will present their
proposition TO the city, and it is known
also that there will be little if any
opposition presented to the accept
ance of the proposition, by members of
the council.
The proposition, it is learned from
an authoritative source, will be to lend
the city 100000 on city scrip, due one
year from date, at 7 per cent, the city
to have the privilege of renewing the
loan upon the same terms, from one
year to another, to cover a period of
four years, and the city to have the
privilege also of reducing the amount
of the loan by any portion, at the
end of tach year.
That the council will decide to ac-
cept the proposition is believed to be
almost certainty, particularly in
view of the fact that there is out
standing about $4,000 of overdue city
scrip, and especially because pne suit
ON overdue scrip has been filed al
ready against the city, in the federal
court at Little Rock. Other holders of
overdue scrip are threatening suit, and
the city can be put to much inconven-
fence, considerable expense and ques-
tionable notoriety, if the overdue scrip
is not taken up.
The loan of 100000 will allow the
city to take up all this overdue scrip,
and all other scrip that falls due, and
by renewing the loan each year, the
city can handle it's finances in quite
satisfactory shape. In the meantime,
the belief is held that the forthcom-
ing session of the state legislature will
adopt some measure to afford relief to
the larger cities of the state, all of
which are having great difficulty since
the closing of the saloons reduced by
large degree the incomes of the city
governments.
