We learn from one or two par
ties that some of our readers
think we criticised the dinner at
Fakes’ Chapeil in our last issue.
To these we will say we did not
do so intentionally, in answering
the ‘ agitator” we referred to the
working of the livery stable
horses on Sunday. But he seem
ed to be looking for some flaw or
something to dig at, so he tries
to make it appear that we wish to
criticise the dinner. Far from it.
It was a grand affair and wont off
in a christianlike manner. We
hope this will be an explanation
sufficient to clear any misappre
hension on the part of anyone
wTho thinks we were opposed to it.

We did not get the first bale of
cotton, it went to Texas, but we
have cotton in bloom. Last
Tuesday morning Mrs. Maggit
(col.) who lives on our friend
John Shearer’s place between
McCrory and DeView, brought
us up several stalks of cotton in
full bloom. This is quite early
for such a late spring. Mrs.
Maggit says she has a good crop
and everything looks favorable
this year.
An exchange says: “Society
I has decided that sitting’ out a
waltz is now7 more fashionable
>han dancing. The ‘sitting’ out
embodies the same position as
dancing; the only difference is
that you sit instead of dance.
The man’s right arm is around
the girl’s waist, while his left
holds her right. Her left hand
is placed upon his shoulder,
while her head rests lovingly up
on his bosom, and all they have
to do is to sit and listen to the
music. Quite a nuisance to gal
lop a mile or two to get a hug or
two. A room full of people sit
ting around on sofas hugging to
music is our notion. While
many a man may lose his appe
tite for dancing, he has to get
powerful old before he loses his
appetite for hugging a pretty
girl.” _

TO BUFFALO AND BACK.
Reported by F.. C. Kramer.
Among the most enjoyable
trips the writer ever took in his
^tfe, was the one to Buffalo.
Starting at Russellville, the
home of his dear parents, he was
carried with ease and comfort
over the Saint Louis Iron Moon
tain & Southern to the city oi
Roses, From there he was hur
ried across hills and vales by the
new and well equipped choctaw,
until he reached the “Far Fain
ed Fountain of Youth.” There
can not be found a more hospit
able people on Earth than Arkan
sas and Hot Springs is at the
very apex of this world’s hospi
tality. The Eastman opened
wide her doors for the important
deliberations of the Press Asso
ciation. The writer, being a new
member, refrains from reporting
on its meetings and a leaves tha1
to older members.
Language, time and space,
fail us in describing the many
acts of kindness shown us by the
good citizens of Hot Springs
The luxury of the baths must bf
experienced, for that is one oJ
the few experiences of life tha1
words are not reveal. Many s
Ponce DeLeon has there regain

After a two days stay in the
city of vapors, we enjoyed tin
“Feast of the pass-over- The St
j Louis Iron Mountain & South
ern.” The Iron Mountain rail
j way deserves our combined
: thanks for the royal manner ii
j which she carried the p in-push
ers of Arkansas to St. Louis
I It was through one of the mosi
; fertile belts of country; ly when

' ity. Judging from the worl
[ that is being done on the road
bed and the excellent service
that it gives, the road officials
| are doing all in their power foi
;the comfort and ease of tin
j traveling public.
From St. Louis, the well knowi
Wabash railway took us Ihrougl
the fertile fields of Indiana, Illi
nois and Michigan, crossing tin
picturesque river at Detroit in ;
transfer boat;then passing along
through Canada, along the shore
of beautiful Lake St. Clair, tinai
ly, we reached Buffalo. Aftei
spending a day at Buffalo, a daj
at the Pan American Exposition,
and a day at the “climax of God’s
creation Niagaro Falls.” we re
turned home refreshed and do

handy work whenever time and
opportunity presents them
