r\- SALT RIVER ON STEAMER
“disappointment ’ ’
ICONTIKCBD FROM LAST ISSUB]
Our friend Harry Amerine,
who is a member of the Salt riv
■r crew, knowing that Miss Nan
•y would be real anxious to hear
from the expedition as it pro
gressed, telephoned Miss Nancy
t the News office from a place
"lied “Never Alone After Elec
: ms” some 150 miles up Salt
ver. The following is the sub
ant e of what he phoned Miss
ancy. We have been four days
coming this far and our crew is
getting rather tired of the trip.
< ’ur rations are being cut down
by our cooks to such an extent
ihat Eck and Hamblet don’t even
ay “Give dem gentlemen eggs
enty.” The fact of the busi
■ ^ss is there is scarcely enough
oney in this crew to purchase
i read and meat. “I very much
islike to say it, but if you will
: ’omise never to tell anyone, I
11 tell you what occured at a
; ace called “Stop And Get
;ady To Go On.”
Of course, Miss Nancy promis
< 1 and Harry told us. The
reamer “Disappointment”
ith her flags at half mast

I dace early on last Friday morn
I I
i in" that being the third day of
i our journey. Our Capt. and
boss had telephoned ahead and
had found a week’s employment
for each member of the crew
through the aid of an employ
ment bureau. For this week’s
word, the Capt. was to receive
the round sum of $150.00 which
was very much needed and was
considered an ample sufficiency
to accomplish the trip to the j
fountain head of Salt river,
which is known by candidates as
“Ingratitude, ” but other people
have named it “Delight.”
Well as we said “Diss.appoint
ment” stopped at the aforenam
ed place and the following is the
w7ay Harry discribed the work
and toil of each candidate during
the week.
Cras Buchanan had to boss 200
negroes to load some barges with
lumber. They say Cras is an
extra good boss and was offered 1
a job for the year, but he de
clined.
Eck Simpson and Hamblet
Dale were to relieve the porter
and clerk o' hotel, “De Feated
Candidates” for the week. They
made a smash on several young
ladies and were fired before the
week was out.
Dr. Hightower and Wm Pen
rose had 12 dozez pairs of shoes
to mend and the way they plied
the last and awl was a caution.
The proprietor informed them
that on the first part of the week
E. W. Jones, the round-baler,
and J. K. Rector, the pistol toter,
had been mending shoes; that
they were the sickest looking
men he had ever seen and were
on their way up Salt river in
search of health.
Messrs. Carl Lee and KittreJ!
had charge of the police station
during the week and Col. Mills
acted as police judge.
Messrs. Stanley, Anderson
and Gardner were real busy dig-1
ging a cellar on Front street, j
Ches Anderson filled the wheel I

barrows and John Gardner and
Maj. Stanley wheeled the earth a
distance of a hundred yards
where a jug factory made use of
the clay. On one occasion the
Maj. was heard to say “G-d
durned if I ever expected such
as this to occur in my old-age.”
As they allow no profanity in the
aforesaid town, a policeman took
the major before his majesty the
police judge. The charge was
laid before the judge and the
major was readily acquitted.
They say it was a good thing
Col. Mills was the judge during
the week and especially on this
occasion or it might not have
gone so easy. The Col. had the
opportunity to discharge several
of the boys; some for playing
cards and the like.
After the week’s work was
completed, “Disappointment”
headed for the city of “Ingrati
tude.” Without any accidents,
the crew finally saw a glimpse of
the city on the bluff some mile
around the bend of the river.
They also saw a steamer already
anchored at the wharf and wonder
ed what that might signify.
Maj Stanley suggested that it
must be the defeated state offi
cials and he would bet a peck of
parched peanuts that E. W.
Jones had come on that boat.
Mr. Simpson said “You sup
pose he has one of his round
bale good things with him? Mr.
Kittrell suggested that Jamesky
couldn’t get along without it.
Harry Amerine asked, “Do
you suppose the ‘pistol toter’
Rector came on that boat too?”
Col. Mills concluded they
would soon find out.
as mssappointment wms
tled fox’ the landing, a great
crowd began to assemble at the
wharf for curiosity. “Disap
pointment” anchored and after
everything was in order, the
crew landed. The hotel porters
looked blank as none of the can
didates wished to go to the hotel,
but said they would board on
board “Disappointment. ” They
at once began to look around for
E. W. Jones and J. K. Rector.
They were conspicuous by their
seeming absence. Mr. Carl-Lee
finally found the senator seated
on a small bundle which turned
out to be one of his bales and
Rector stood near by in a very
dignified manner. The senator
sat there with hung head. Maj.
Stanley asked him, “Senator are
you sick?” “Ha! ha! I am death
ly sick. Just to think that I, as
chairman of the Democratic
party of this nation, am defeated
by my own people, with whom I
have not lived for 20 years. Jt
is an outrage and enough to
cause a man to swallow a locomo
tive.”
Mr. Carl-Lee said “Why that
little defeat need not worry you
senator. You can go to New
Jersey and be the guest of honor
any old time, but as far as poli
tics for you in Arkansas is con
cerned you have ah’eady gone
away back and sat down on that
unpopular seat of “never come
again.”
Mr. Rector had very little to
say, but in his dignified manner
said “ A gentleman has a right to
tote a gun and maul a school
teacher that will allow common
wood-hauler’s son to get ahead of
a gentleman’s son.”
After a week’s stay at the city
of Delight, the Salt River Excur
sionists returned to their respec
tive homes.
Harry, I am indeed grateful to
you for the above information.
Now wishing all the defeated
candidates a most enjoyable va
cation until two years from now,
we beg to remain,
Miss Nancy.
BETTER THAN PILLS.
The question has been asked.
“In what way a?e Chamberlain’s
Stomach & Liver Tablets super- j
ior to pills?” Our answer is:
They are easier and more pleas
ant to take, more mild and gentle
in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended i
upon. Then they cleanse and j
invigorate the stomach and leave !
the bowels in a natural condition, j
while pills are more harsh in ef
fect and their use is often follow
ed by constipation. For sale by

Mi-. I. J. Andrews, of Monroe
county, was in town Wednesday.
Mr. Babbs, of the Augusta

On last Monday, M. H. Patter
son, the next sheriff of Wood
ruff County, attended court at
Vandale in a case where Ab Ea
ton was being tried for shooting
John Cook some three years ago.
The case was continued until
Friday.
Mr. H. IT. Blackstone, of Mar
tin Junction, paid the News a
pleasant visit last Tuesday. He
informed us that there were two
spurs being built at Martin to
Cache river; one by the Iron
Mountain and the other by the
Choctaw.
We were very much surprised
and shocked when we heard of
the sad and sudden death of Capt.
Alex Jones of Augusta. We had
learned to esteem the Capt. as a
true southern gentleman. In the
midst of life we are in death. We
know not what a day or an hour
may bring fourth. The News of
fers its sincerest condolence to
the bereaved relatives.

WALKS WITHOUT CRUTCHES.
I was much afflicted with sci
atica, writes Ed C. Nud, Iowa
ville, Sedgwick county, Kansas,
“going about on crutches and
suffering a great deal of pain. I was
induced to try Ballard’s Snow
Liniment, which relieved me, I
used three 50c bottles. It is the
greatest liniment I ever used;
have recommended it to a num
ber of persons, all express them
selves as being benefited by it.
I now walk without crutches,
able to preform a great deal of
light labor on the farm.” 25c,50c
and $1.00 at Dr. J. B. Neal.
A VALUABLE MEDICINE FOR
COUGHS AND COLDS IN CHILREN.
“T have not sligntest hesitancy
in recommending Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy to all who are
.suffering from coughs or colds,”
says Chas. M, Cramei’, Esq., a
well known watch maker, of
Colombo, Ceylon. “It has been
some two years since the City
Dispensary first called my at
tention to this valuable medicine
and I have repeatedly used it
and it has always been beneficial.
It has cured me quickly of all
chest colds. It is especially ef
fective for children and seldom
lakes more than one bottle to
'cure them of hoarseness. I have
persuaded many to try this valu
able medicine, and they are all as
well pleased as myself over the
results,” For sale by Dr. J. B.

BEAUTY AND STRENGTH
Are desirable. You are strong
and vigorous, when your blood
is pure. Many—nay, most—wo
men, fail to properly digest their
food., and so become pale, sallow,
thin and weak, while the bright
ness, freshness and beauty of
the skin and complexion, depart.
Remedy this unpleasant evil, by
eating nourishing food, and tak
ing a small dose of Herbine after
each meal, to digest what you
have eaten. 50c at Dr. J. B. Neal’s.
