as farm hand for others for two
years. From 1850 to 1854 he owned
and drove a hack in Keokuk and
later went to ST. Paul, MINI.

poles and simplities the question Of

tent supports are of light angle iron,
and the longer pieces as well as those
forming the cots which 90 with each
tent are jOinted so that they may be
folded up when necessary. The frames
of the cots are suspended from the up
rights by two coil springs, used for
the same purpose as springs in the or

cots can be folded up against the tent
frame and well out of the road, by
releasing one Of the springs at each

Little Rock

Little Rock
Citizens from the interior of the
state visiting Little Rock the past few
days say business is on a great boom
caused by the good cotton prices.
Judge Trice of Monroe county said
that during his entire 40 years or more
residence IN that section Of the state
he never saw as much money among
Joe P. Eagle of Lonoke and other
business men Of that section Of the
state report unprecedented business
and large amounts of money among
the negroes especially. The country
merchants Of Arkansas along the lines
of Little Rock and Fort Smith rail-
road, Iron Mountain and Rock Island,
between Little Rock and Memphis,
are daily sending in rush orders for
merchandise to Little Rock jobbers,
Many of the country merchants COM
plain that the demand for merchan-
disc is so great that it is impossible
for them to fill orders. The great
business rush is expected to reach
Little Rock and other cities Of the
state, as far as retail trade is con-
cerned, in the near future.
The Little Rock banks were never
known to have as much money on
hand as at present, due principally to
the large deposits being sent in daily
by country bankers. A prominent
banker stated there was more money
in the Little Rock banks at the pres
ent time than was ever known before.
The only depressing feature Of the
prosperous times hereabouts is the
continual increase in the price Of
foodstuffs. This is causing much ad-
verse comment among the wage-earn-
ers, who, as a general rule are not
reaping much benefit from the great
prosperity now being enjoyed by the
farmers. AS a rule the Little Rock
retail merchants report large in
crease in sales, as compared with
September and October Of last year.
They are expecting an unusual heavy
business during the months Of No
vember and December, and are max
ing every preparation to take care of
their trade.

Crittenden county bridge commis-

viaduct to span the distance between
the west end OF the Harahan bridge
TO the ST. Francis leyee to Ball & Pc
ters, contractors. The contract price
was sl47000, and the trafficway will
be two and one-half miles long. The
contractors have four months in which
TO complete the work.
For the first 250 feet OF the traffic
way is 10 be OF dirt, and the crown OF
the embankment will be 80 feet wide.
The sides OF the big causeway will be
riprapped in order to protect it in
time Of high water. The remainder
Of the viaduct will be OF wood
As originally planned, the entire
yiaduct was to have been Of wooden
construction, but H. G. Ferree, its de-
signer. decided to substitute the dirt
embankment for the first 25O feet, in
order TO eliminate the likelihood OF
fire from sparks that might descend
from passing trains on one or other
Of the bridges.
For the building Of the wooden por-
ton Of the viaduct, more than 2,000,.
600 feet Of lumber will be required.
Piles, ranging in length from 25 to 40
feet, will be needed to the total num-
Der of $500.
Throughout most of its length the
viaduct will have a wagon-way Of l6
feet, though at Bridge Junction 1t will
be widened to 80 feet to provide a
passing place. 1t will be floored with
timbers three and one-half inches in
thickness.
