Ihe Kansas City Star reporter
could not have made a more sub
stantial coat-of-arms for Arkansas
than he did in his write-up of his
trip to Alikchi; in fact two of the
articles which he uses in the make
up are staple articles of food for
the man who toilsand produces it,
cornbread and bacon. People who
do manuel labor must have sub
stantial food; they cannot live on
tjoose liver pie and peafowl bruins
with “flap-jacks and lasses’’ as
hereafter. If the brilliant and
gifted writer for the Star was
forced to live on the good substan
tial hog meat upon which he feast
ed on that long to be remembered
trip in the Choctaw Nation his
writings might be more substan
tial. It is easy to see at a glance
that his humorous description of
the trip was the product of a deli
cate substance, something like
pea-fowl brains. Whether or not
he intended to convey bhe idea
that this is a great country in
which plenty of bacon is produced
we shall not say,but we are proud to |
say the people of this part of Ar
kansas have plenty of good bacon
and if any of the readers of the
Star wish to find a place where the I
hogs native atmosphere is to be
found just come a ong to Arkansas
and especially to Sevier county.

r l'he south has again been visit
ed by a yellow fever epidemic and
while it has been scattered in va
rious places over Louisiana and
Texas, as well as states east of
the Mississippi river, it has prac
tically done its worst and is now a
thing of the past. Notwithstand
ing the wide territory, while other
■ towns and even counties enforced
a rigid quarantine, De Queen felt
no uneasiness as is evidenced by
the fact that a quarantine was not
even talked of seriously.
While the Spanish press talks of
war wiih “Uncle Sam” her finan
ciers are searching the world over
to find some one to lend her money
to enable her to keep up a belig
erent appearance till “Uncle Sam”
gives her an excuse to go hame
and tell the boys that she could
have whipped the little handful of
insurgents on the island and the
little government of the United
fates if they would come one at a
time, but she doesn’t care to fight
the whole world, that would be
too expensive. It would be very
humiliating to a great nation like
Spain to have to confess to the
world that she could not conquor
little Cuba, and all she wants is
some one to give her an excuse to
return home peacably.

HOLCOMB DOTS.
Mr. Editor—As 1 have not seen
anything in your valuable papei
about our section of the country 1
will give you a few dots.
j Holcomb is situated ten miles
north of Lockesburg. Ae have
: the S tine liver on the east and
l the nch fertile lands of the Cossa
tot on the west. We have good
churches and schools. Preaching
at Srtfdis on secoud Sunday and
the Saturday before bv Rev. Bud
We - throok.
We have as good society and
good health as Sevier county af
ford .
We have lots of fine limbered
lands and the tall oaks and pine
serins to stretch out their long
arms as it were for the people who
are seeking homes. Why be with
out a home when von can get 160
acres of fine timbered laud for the
insignificant sum of only $14.50,
worth $200.00? This is more
truth than poetry, so come and
see for yourself.
Cheap John.
, Postmaster J. R. Hudson pur
chased of theTownstte Co., a block
at the terminus of Heyneker Ave.
in the west part of the city. We
learn that his residence is to be of
the latest designs in architecture
and when complete will be as pret
ty as the prettiest. Messrs. Dollar
hide and Holcomb have the con
tract and it goes without saying,
the work will be rapidly as well
as artistically done, as their work
is evidence of their skill with me
chanical tools.
Jas. E. Wallace, wife and child

guests of his brother Tom.
