Business Tien's League,
Hot Springs, Ark.
We trust you will co everything pos
sible to prevent dismantling Of NJ. D.
& G. )iy. from Murfreesboro 70 Hot
Springs as such removal of the rails
will prove ruinous'to trade now being
established west of your city. We
learn from reliable sources that un-
less an immediate physical connection
with the Rock Island at Hot Springs
is made that the road will have to be
abandoned from Murfreesboro to Spa.
A. GOLDSMITH, Chairman
Just what the trouble is is not
known fere whether it is lack of co,
operation OF other lines, government
action, or necessity On the part of the
road itself. The people of Ashdown
will do all in their power to prevent
the threatened action. The town has
always been friendly to the road and
in fact the citizens of this town paid
something like $4,000 to get the road
here. We are to understand from the III
formation that the road would continue
to operate from AshGown to Muir
freesboro, but as an outlet to Hot
Springs It woula cease to exist. None
of the railroad officials could be To-
