1t is rumored in railroad circles that
Poplar Bluff is soon to be discontinued
as a division point on the passenger
service and that Hoxio, Ark, will be
made the division point. This is
done railroad men say, because of the
railroad law passed by Congress fix
ing the s-hour limit. AS it is now the
men get a days pay for the trip to
Poplar Bluff, whereas they can go to
Hoxie and it still be Lut a days work,
No official announcement has been
made of the change but many are
t confident that it will be done soon.-
