The 014 Days Revive! I— Fun on the Turf I
In days gone bye Batesville was a
famous resort for those who took pleas
ure in the excitement of the race track,
but for many a year this sport has been
discontinued, and we seldom hear ol
even a “quarter race for a small purse
or even for fun, plainly showing that
the people have degenerated in thi’
part of the country—that is, if yon ।
would call that degenerating'—in a few
shoit years.
But the old days are to be revived, ।
and revived by an exhibition of speed
that will startle the sporting world. ■
Friday is the day, and Grnder’s race :
tract the place. i
General Waggoner, a large stock ।
raiser near this place, is the owner oi i
the imported thoroughbred stallion
“Poke Root,” (sired by old "Poke *
Root,” dam by yonng " Poke Root” ।
and so on.) a clean limbed, well mus- <
cled stallion, that has showed speed 1
down into the 20’s, but has as yet
never trotted a match for money.
Dr. D. C. Ewing, one of our citi
xens, is the owner of that fine roao
mare. •• Lady Applegate,” (sired by
Col. Pcete’s famous horse, “Ike Ap- ।
piegate,”) which has also given many *
private exhibitions on the road and
has proved herself to be a fast trotter
and a sure footer.
Those gentlemen have agreed npon I
a match on the Gruder course on Fri- ।
day. at 2 p. m„ mile heats, best two i
in three, to harness. No pnrso or en i
trance fees. Gato fees go to second
horse. Positively no postponment on
account of weather. Pools will be sold i
at court house to- night.

without a horse and without money, i
having received only 833 00 for his .

This can’t come from Bro. Huddle (

wo never would have known that the

to do with a Sabbath School. They
didn't look like it 1 But, perhaps, Bro. ।
Ellsberry, Bill Scarlet, Bru. Waddell ,

that’s how tho mistake happened. The ,
News calls onrtown a "hiding place." ,
We didn’t think ao, but perhaps it is. ।
The city appearance of the members of ,
that Sabbath School certainly impress- ,
ed us with tho fact that this was a
back-country town, and that New- ;
port was a big place. ,
Bring that cross-road town of yours ।

—Onr connty conrt la in session, '
witnesses and jurors are in attend- 1
•nee ; but who will pay their bills ? 1
Tho appropriation for 1577 is exhaust
ed. There is plenty of money in our
treasury, but not a cent of it can be
used. It takes a great deal of money
to run a connty like Independence, and
it was certainly an oversight in mak
ing the last appropriation so small
There is no need of taxing onr people
in order to let the money lay in the
connty treasury. We hope that Jndge
Steel will fully explain this matter to
the Justices, at their next meeting, so
that such an error may not occur
again. It is not very likely that any
money will be squandered by our
Connty Judge, even if ths appiopria
tion be a little too much.

adv^itagea of Batesville as a trading

a week to this point, at this season,
an<i in the fnll ami winter we have a '
boat at our landing every day.
Goods of all kinds are sold here at 1
as small, if not smaller, profit than at 1
other pointe in the State. The mer» ‘

them complete ; camp houses are pleu

to make the customers from a distance 1
comfortable, and to sen ! them away '
entirely satisfied with their visit 1
to onr town. 1
This fall Batesville will get a larger 1
trade than ever before, and great prep- 1
stations are being made by our promi
nent merchants to be enabled to fill 1
all the wants of their up-country mer- 1

width and breadth of North Arkansas.
They do as large a business, if not

dealing that brings crowds of custo
mers to their storerooms. They aie
proprietors of the Aikansas Woolen
Mills, nesr this piece, and mannfai
tnre their own J-ana, linseys. flannels,

give special advantages, in prices, for
goods in those departments.

cither place yon can get as good work
turned out as can be done in the State.

where the best of accommodations can
be secured at reasonable chatges.
A good livery stable, which is at
tended to by Mr. Harvey Miniken, fur
nishes conveyances to all parts of
North Arkansas, with comfortable car
riages and good teams.
In fact, you can buy anything and
everything, needed in this country, in
the town of Batesville, and at the
cheapest rate*. The town is situated
in a beautiful and healthy location ;
the roads leading to it are high and
dry. an<l, without a doubt, this is the
market fur the upper contitry.
Merchants above should bear in
mind that they can replenish their
stocks here at city pricea, with freight
added, and can have the finest and
largest stocks to select from.
Improvements are going on daily,
aud this will certainly be the big town
in North Arkansas. Give our mer
chants a trial, and you will certainly
