UP SALT RIVER ON STEAMER
“disappointment” |
On last Wednesday the Steam -;
er Pissapoiutmeut began its;
journey up Salt River with a;
most excellent crew.
About seven o’clock in the ■
morning, we noticed Maj. Stan
ley shoveling in the coal in order
to get a good headway of steam. I
We saw Hamblet Dale and T. !
Eck Simpson cooking breakfast!
to a “fare-you-well,” we saw Mr. j
A. J. Black surveying the wash-1
ing of the dishes and Harry]
Amerine and Chas. Anderson,
setting the table.
J. P. Gardner and Dr. High-1
tower were carrying water for \
the crew, but every now and
then the Dr. would stop to argue j
the case.
Messrs. Kittrell and Carl-Lee |
sat in one corner continually fus
sing about some imaginary Irish- j
man; Mr. Penrose had charge j
of the pigs and puppies; Col.
Mills was called in to help the
Major in keening up steam. It
foil to Miss Nancy’s lot to pilot
“Dissapointment” on this occa
sion.
Just before starting, the entire
crew took its place at the table
and after the head fireman had
given thanks for the comforts of
life, a sumptuous breakfast was
indulged in. After the fehst,
Capt. Alex Jones called out “all
a-board” for the head waters of
Salt River. Miss Nancy rang*
the dong for the engineer Ed S.
Carl-Lee to turn on the steam
and ailow “Disappointment” to
steam up the river.
*1.00 :
This moving up the river
caused our friend John Kittrell
a great deal of uneasiness and
Cras Buchanan was continually
going on about the “niggers.”
Along the shore we passed
such places as Two Years From
Now and Miss Nancy smiled and
the headtirernan got his kodak.
We passed a place called May
Be and the number of encourag
ing looks were numerous.
Sometime after supper, we
decided to stop for the night.
Cras Buchanan and John Kittrell
anchored “Dissappointment”
and all was safe. During the
night, many strange dreams
were dreamed and as Miss
Nancy could not sleep on “Dissa
pointment,” she could hear the
wild expressions of the dream
sters. Among them we could
hear were:
“Crack-sculled, brainless dem
agogue.’’ “I’ve got nothing to
say for Mr. Amerine nor against
Mr. Billingslea. ” “Pigs and
puppies.” Corn medicine.”
“Warm his seat.” “Heringster.”
“Rabbit crossed my path and I
hadn’t time to spit in his track. ”
“Monroe county.” “Ed •>. Carl
Lee and his whole family.” “Hair
pins and butter.” “Pumpkins
and eggs.’, “Raechel give dem
gentlemen eggs blenty.” “I pay
no more attention to Kramer
than I would a dog.” “Three
thousand dollars.” “Martin
Junction.” “Quorum court.”
“Democratic c-oak.” “Mantel
of Democracy,”etc.
Considering the dreamers de
meanor on the dreamers stand
one would naturally come to the
[ conclusion that something fear
ful hung over them.
The next morning Miss Nancy
began to tell the dreams she had
heard during the night. And as
she began to tell them before
breakfast aud the crew fearing
such tom-foolery might come to
pass, the crew decided to make
Miss Nancy take to the woods.

We are not at all disfigured but

ring, but the ring of our anvils.
We have secured the services of

DOUGHERTY & RIGGS:
stops as they would not allow me
to continue journey. As
“Dissapointment” moved away,
we saw Col. Penrose in the pilot
house and we have often wonder
ed since who is taking care of
the pigs and puppies, but pre
sumes Mr. Kittrell is watching
after them. We shall try to
obtain the narration of the re
mainder of the Salt River expe
dition when they return. So
trusting they will have an en
joyable trip we remain,
Miss Nancy.

Since the last issue the News

nature’s beauties—ilowers-^-as
tokens of respect from Mist:
Coi’a Jeffries, Mrs. E. T. Wherry
and Miss Lizzie Crosseti. Flow
ers are the embodiment, of all
things lovely, pure, d5vine anct
beautiful. We can say that these
gems were not as those of which.
Gray spoke when he said: “Full
many a gem of purest ray serene.
The dark unfathomed caves of
ocean bear, Full many a flower is
born to blush unseen, And waste
its fra grants on the desert air.”
But we can truthfully say. Full
many a gem of purest ray
serene; The gentle hands of la
dies bear; Full many a flower is
born to blush beseen, And shed
its fragrance in a print shop’s
care. We thank the ladies for
their pleasant visit and trust
their pathway through life may
be as pleasant anh sweet as the
flowers they so generously be
stowed.
