Our Railroad
Reports concerning the Farmerville & Southern railroad seem even a little more indefinite and uncertain than news regarding the Russian-Japanese war. Today one rumor is put afloat and tomorrow a contradictory one is started. The latest report, which we believe to be correct goes to the effect that a Little Rock contractor has secured the contract to build the road from Marion to Felsenthal, where it will connect with the Bastrop & El Dorado road and that he is to have the road bed ready for trains by Oct. 20. Mr. Denison has finished grading the thirteen miles he has contracted for and is preparing to leave for work in Illinois.
Fatal Accident
A serious accident occurred Saturday night on the Arkansas Southern railroad at Junction City, resulting in the death of Will Brown, fireman, and the severe injuring of Engineer Sabry. Locomotive No. 11 was taking in water when the boiler exploded. Brown was under the engine cleaning out the cinder box at the time of the explosion. He was so badly burned that he died in a couple of hours. Sabry was blown from the cab, and for a while was unconscious but he recovered. Brown was reared near D’Arbonne, where his remains were interred Sunday.

Hunt’s Cure is a guaranteed remedy for all itching diseases of the skin. Price 50c.
