HE HAS A GOOD MEAL, BUT THE
CHECK FOB IT ASTONISHED HIM.
His Breakfast Cost

k Dollar,
Without
But He Evened up
His Supper.
It's just awful to get along without
money. It looks like the older I
grow the less money I have and the
more it takes to get along and keep '
up with the wants of the family. An
old friend told me the other day that
St. Paul made a mistake, or else the
translators did, for it was" the lack of
money that was the root of all evil
and not the love of it ; and he said
also that the best band to bind the
family together was ior the old man
to have a good healthy bank account.
A surplus that could be drawn upon
when the children were in need. I
don't admit the truth of either pro
position, but I do say that money is
a good thing to have in the family,
and I wish that everybody had a
surplus that was honestly earned. I
would risk our preacher on that I
wish his salary was $2,000 instead of
$1,000.
About this time oi the year my
wife, like a prudent woman, begins to
mention incidentally along the wants
of the family and how the beds need
refurnishing, for the sheets are about
worn out, and will be obliged to have
some new blankets and the girls must
have some winter garments and the
whole family will need 'shoes, and
she winds up by saying "and you
need undershirts and socks and a
decent suit of winter clothing. You
look right shabby and it don't be
come you. At your time of life you
ought to dress more like a gentleman.
You have worn those pants until they
are right slick and they have drawn
up and are baggy at the knees. I
was right ashamed of you last Sun
day." "I can't keep up with my expenses,"
said I, "I owe some money and they
are dunning me pretty hard. I don't
know how we will get along this
winter unless something turns up.
But I am hopeful and trusting m
Providence, for He has never tailed
us yet" The next mail brought me
letters from Arkansas, inviting me to
visit Pine Bluff and a fair at Warren
and offering me $300, and as Mrs.
Arp perused them she said, "Well,
William that is all right You say
money is so tight here you had bet
ter accept the offer and go where it is
loose, but you must take care of
yourself. You know that you can't
stand what you used to.
So m due time the tram for Chatta
nooga, and it is really a pleasure, a
luxury, to ride on Mr. Thomas's
road. From there I took a sleeper
for Memphis over the Memphis and
Charleston railroad, and was agree
ably surprised to find how much
that road has been improved since I
last traveled over it We made the
xoo miles in eleven hours and that
is fast enough for anybody. At Mem
phis I took the Little Rock train for
Bnnkley and Pine Bluff. We left
depot at 7 o'clock p. m., and soon
stopped at the the river to wait tor
the ferryboat. And we did wait, for
the boat was bringing a circus across,
and we never got off until 9 o'clock.
It took us another hour to cross, for
the river was very low, and they had
to dodge the sandbars. And when
the locomotive backed down to pull
us
up trom tne ooat it carnea up
the first three cars very well ; but
when it backed down to take up
the passenges cars and had pulled
us up aboufr half way an alarm was
given that the headblock of the
sleeper was pulling out, and just such
a rumpus was never heard. "All
hands to the brakes!" somebody
cried, pd the engine commenced
backing, backing, backing, and before
we knew it we were all in the boat
again. But I tell you it was alarm
ing, specially to the sleeper, for if
that headblock had have pulled out
that car would have never stopped
until it run through the ferryboat and
into the river.
Well, it took another hour, to re
pair the headblock and make the con
nections secure, and at last, about
1 1 o'clock, we got off, and then such
a road, such a road. It is just a sin
for any state to allow such a track to
be used. The cars actually jump off
of every trestle. You can feel the
jump ana tnat way sideways like an
ocillating enge and move along
with the double wabbles. Strange to
say, these trains hardly ever jump
the track, and I can t explain it
unless it is a man said, the track is
straight and wheels have got used to
the bumps and hollows. We were
due at Pine Bluff at i o'clock, but
never got there until daylight, and
it was a long and miserable night
"Sorrow endureth for a night, but
joy cometh in the morning," and so
I went to bed thankful and relieved
and slept a few hours. The True
lock hotel is a good one, and I enjoy
ed it, and so when I was ready for
breakfast I took my seat in a luxur
ious dining door and was presented
with a gilt-edged bill of fare, and I
picked out a porter-house steak and
breakfast bacon, and sausages, and
cream toast, and eggs a la Truelock,
and potatoes a la something else, and
coffee, etc Thinks I to mysell, IH
take a liberal variety and eat what
I like best. I never noticed the little
figures away off on the margin. I
thought I was in a hotel, I did. Well,
I partook of the well-cooked viands,
and thepolite and attentive waiter
stood by and fanned me like I was a
prince. When I had finished he laid
a slip of papefcby my plate and I saw
$1.25 marked on it in plain, large
figures. Then I glanced at the gilt-
edged card and
saw the little
fiVures adiacent to everything I had
ordered, and I considered myself the
injured person. I never said any
thing not a word bu with lordly
mien I walked up to the captain s
office. and paidjthe biUfike a gentle
man. But I shall always think that
the landlord ought to let the guests
know in some way that he lodges you
and that the other feller feeds you.
I knew there was one "wayjtoget
even with him, and that was to do
without dinner, which I did.
I like Pine Bluff.fthough I didn't
see the nine nor theSbluff. The pine
hasen cut down and the bluff
caved in, but it'isanicedelightful
little city of 1 2,000 or 15,000 people
mostly black and mulatto. The town
isweUlaid solidly built up, jand the
streets paved and the suburban resid
ences spacious and home like. New
and handsome houses are going up
all the time. The streets are crowded
withjwagons loaded with cotton and
netn-oes thron? the sidewalks and
the stores and laugh and joke and
spend their money free. A fine
looking mulatto named Wily Jones
owns all the street car lines'and is
said to be worth a quarter oft a mil
lion, and says he would give it all to
be a white man. He is highly es
teemed by the white people, and
lends all his influence to keep peace
between the races. This county
sends three negroes to the legislature.
Pine Bluff handles more cotton and
does more business for its size than
any city in the west; everybody
seems to be prospering and their
business increasing. I wanted to see
Mr. Howell, one of eight brothers
who were raised near Rome, and
who are now running eight com
presses at different points and have
made fortunes. His place of busi
ness was pointed out to me, but when
I called ior Mr. Howell a good
natured gentleman said his name
was Howell, but he was not the man
I was looking for "You wish to see
the Georgia Howell, but I am better
stock than he is ; I am from South
Carolina." Most everybody here is
from Georgia, or South Carolina, or
Alabama. The native-born citizens
are very scarce and very young.
Now if a man can stand the negroes
and face the conflict that may come.
Pine Bluff is a good place for a young
man to - come and settle down to
business, but some thoughtful citizens
told me that there could be no gener
al prosperity until they get rid of
the necro. Their rich lands would
never bring a lair return until a white
population cultivated them. It is
all cotton and for miles along the
railroads you see nothing, but im
mense cotton fields and negro shan
ties. On these farms there ought
to be raised cattle, and sheep, and
hog, and fruit, and there ought to be
little thriving villages with churches,
schoolhouses : but there is nothing
but miles of cotton and that is badly
mixed with weeds and grass, for the
necrroes don't give it but one plow
inc. I have heard that Pine Bluff
is sickly but I saw no signs of it
among her people. I never stood
up before a more healthy looking
audience nor a more cultured one,
And now I am here in Warren,
which is not far from the Louisiana
line. It is just 100 miles from Pine
Bluff and it took us just thirteen
hours to make the trip on one of Jay
Gould's roads. It took us seven
hours to make thirty -eight miles of it
and that is the fastest and only tram
he has on it. But for good-company
who were used to this style of rail
roads, I should have been desper
atelv mad. . As it is, 1 could see,
with great satisfaction, Jay Gould
tied in that car and made to ride in
tt
everv dav for a month. Arkansas
needs a railroad commission badly.

Gould does exactly as he pleases out
here, and cares no more for the com
fort of these Deoole than he does for
a drove of hogs.
Warren is in a different country
Only about One-third of the popula
tion are negroes, and they give no
trouble. The exhibits at the fair
show that white folks run the ma
chine, and are improving their stock
and emulating each other in raising
corn and oats and potatoes and hay
and fruits of all kinds. The country
is filled up with good, old fashioned
substantial people, who still believe
m a Lrod and a rrovidence, and in
virtue and temperance and a jung-
ment to come. Bill Arp.
The Baby's Name Is Ruth.

The Spring Medicine.

medicine is wonderful. It possesses
just those elements of health-giving,
blood-purifying and appetite-restoring
which every body seems to need
at this season. Do not continue in a
a dull, tired, unsatisfactory condition
when you may be so much benefitted
by Hood s Sarsaparilla. It purifies
the blood and makes the weak strong.

A BIO DAT.
Thursday was a big day at the Ex
position. More than 200 University
students were present in charge
Pres. Winston and the .Professors
When the procession arrived at the
main building, President Winston
was loudly called on for a speech, and
came forward and made a few re
marks. He said when the Universi
ty proposed -to make an exhibit he
had enasked what she had to
show. His answer was that she had
men, and for an example it was only
necessary for him to point to those
he saw before him.
It was a grand day, for the Con
federate veterans. Many were pres
ent At 12 o'clock they assembler
in front of the grand stand and were
J addressed by Gen. Robert Ransorr ,
Gen. W. R. Cox ( who led the last
charge at Appomatox), Gen. W. P.
Roberts, Hon. B. F. Grady, Hon.
B. Alexander, Judge J. j. Davis,
Capt W. H. Kitchen, Capt Oct-
Coke, Capt W. H. S. Burgwyn
and Col. E. D. Hall. Gen. R
Ransom was elected President of the
Veterans' Association for the ensuing
year, Col. . D. Hall Vice Presi
dent, and W. C. Stronach Secretary.
Speaking of the occasion the News
and Observer says :
Yesterday was a great day at the
exposition.- The display was in good
shape, and most every one was sur
prised at its being such a fine ex
hibition. It far surpassed public ex
pectations. The day was beautiful
and there was a large crowd on the
grounds. The proceedings on the
part of the University were interest
ing, then came the demonstration
of the old soldiers. It is impossible
to say how much the old soldiers did
enjoy this part of the day's pro
ceedings. Their eyes kindled and
their hearts swelled with emotion. It
did them good to be there. The
addresses were thoroughly enjoyed.
They were excellent short, to the
point, and gave the old soldiers much
pleasure. But it was the parade that
touched them most. Every brigade
and command had its appropriate
banner which was borne by some
old veterans, whose memories were
quickened by the flags around which
they rallied once more. And then
was a sight to see Gen. Robert
Ransom again on horseback leading
North Carolina soldiers to the beat
of the drum and with many flags
flying. Gen. Roberts said that Gen.
Ransom was the best soldier he ever
knew. He also had the reputation
of being the best horseman in the
army. As the ranking survivor of
the North Carolina veterans, he was
especially an object of kind attention
and it was with heartfelt' pleasure
that the association asked him to
become its President The venerable
forms of many a gallant patroit men
like Col. Ldward L. Han and the
6talwart frames of younger men,
like Gen. W. R. Cox, also made the
scene more enjoyable. May each
and every one be blessed !"
ALL. TOGETHER.
The Executive Committee Held
a Har-
moniona Meeting.
The House of Commons last night
contained prominent Democrats from
all sections of the State, and there
was a general discussion upon the
needs ol the party.
It was a regular Democratic Love
Feast and was greatly enjoyed, and
it showed that there is harmony and
accord between Alliancemen and non
Alliancemen. The following committee was ap
pointed to prepare an address and
issue it to the Democratic party of
the State : E. C. Smith, TJJ. Jar-
vis, o. o. Alexander, Lhas Carr, (J.
B. Watson, E. A. Moye, A. Leazar,
W. M. Robbms.J. S. Bell, and H
A. Gudger. State Chronicle,! 1 6th.
Referring to the meeting the
Chronicle says, editorially :
"The Democratic -party in North
Carolina will 'get. together. -
" 1 hat was evident at the meeting
last night and from the talks of the
leading Democrats who were in the
city yesterday from all sections of
the State. This writer met more
than a hundred leading Alliancemen
and non-Alliancemen on the Expo
sition grounds yesterday, and talked
with them in regard to the political
outlook. Ol course nobody can pre
diet the result with confidence, but
we found a greater willingness to
make concessions in the interest of
harmony and good government than
might be supposed to exist from the
extreme expressions which have been
heard during" the last few months.
"The Democratic party will rele
gate the extremists and self-seekers
to the rear put wise and conserva
tive men in command of the ship
and we will win a great victory in
1892." '
