PROM HOT SPRINGS TO CLARKs-
A WILLIE.

lnyalids, we started TOR home on the
18th ult., after regaining our strength,
but receiving no permanent relief for
the pain of the head and vertigo, I'M
der which We have labofed for several
years. We reached Malvern By hack.
then took the cars for Little Rock.
Among the passengers was Gen. Long
street, now of New Orleans, whom our
people at one time esteemed next to
Gen. Lee, but his traitorous desertion
of the southern, people, without the
shadowsbf cause, leaves none now so
poor as to do him reverence.
Arrived as Little Rock about 2
o'clock, p. m, and just after partaking
of an elegant dinner at Gleason's res
taurant, we met our friend Il. L. Cobb,
who was on the eve of departing for the
Kellogg lead and silver mines, some
ten or twelve miles from the city. Mr.
Cobb is the principal manager at these
mines. aud We are glad to learn that
he has fattering prospects of success,
and to know that he is so highly es-
teemed by the company and the citi-
zens generally, for his intelligence and
integrity. Before leaving for the
mines. however, he escorted us to the
headquarters Of our esteemed friend,
Theo. Hartman, now the energetic
and deservedly popular superintendent
of the Little Rock and Fort Smith
railway. We found him at his post, ;"
very busy-but when the time came
for Office hours to close, he cordially
invited us to spend the night with him
and his young, accomplished wife. We
passed the night very pleasantly, and
left our kind friends about 2 O'Clock,
D. m. Mr.. Hartman stands deserved
ly high in the estimation of Arkansas
people, and we INDUCED feeling of
pride when we reflected that the two
young gentlemen we mention, were
from our own home. Here we also
met DIR. Pirtle, christian gentleman,
formerly a resident of GAINESVILLE.
Little Rock is beautiful city, con-
tanning about 10000 Inhabitants.
About 1890 p. M, We took the train
for Memphis, in company with DIR.
Charles Brown, son of our old friend
Joshua Brown, who now resides in
Shelby county, near Memphis. Fight
ing mosquitoes was the principal fun
INDUCED in during the run to Mem
phis, at which place we arrived about
clock, a. NJ, on the 9th.
After a short nap and good break
fast at the Worsham House, we started
out to take look at the city and to
hunt up some friends once residents of
our city. Among those we saw, we
mention d. 2. Hidden, DIR. Porter
G. w. Macrae, of the firm of Porter,
Taylor & Co., Joshua Brown, Of Brown
& Norton, Warren Mcclure. cashier
of First National Bank, G. b. Fleece
and Charley Bryan, the last named has
Just entered the matrimonial state
We are truly gratlfied to state that
all these gentlemen are enjoying pros
perity and good health, and We hope
these blessings may ever attend them.
After dinner, friend MADDEN brought
out his beautiful blood bay harnessed
to buggy and invited us to accompany
him in drive around the city. AL
though somewhat repulsive to our feel
ings the first place We stopped was at
the county Jail, one of the largest and
best arranged institutions of the kind
we ever saw. In the center Of the
main building a large iron cage with
a hall leading through it, and on each
side are cells for prisoners, which are
kept scrupulously clean. To reach
this cage you pass through three doors
securely bolted, each one being well
guarded. Here we saw two experts
who robbed the express agent and pro-
cured quite large sum of money not
long since. They were very restless
and wore sad, detected look.
From this point we proceeded to
take look at the planning mills, lum-
Der mills, gas works, cotton sheds,
churches, cemeteries, etc, About 4
O'Clock we drove up to the house where
the funeral services of a young Mr..
Woodbridge we've to take place. This
young man was one of fishing party
not long since and becoming greatly
heated and getting wet, it resulted in
his sudden death. He was highly
respected by large circle of friends
and acquaintances, as the very large
concourse Of citizens clearly demon
strated-there being some one hundred
and fifty carriages and buggies in the
procession. The remains were carried
out and deposited in beautiful spot
in ElmwoOd Cemetery. The large
crowd of persons all assembled around
the grave and listened in perfect silence
to the beautiful and impressive burial
ceremonies. The grave closed, and the
heart-broken wife walked up and
spread the beautiful wreaths and bo-
quets of choice flowers upon the last
resting place Of the one she dearly
loved and could not forget. When
her lovely form arose from its task we
failel to see dry eye in that vast as
semblage.
Elmwood Cemetery embraces about
one hundred acres, if we mistake not,
and is elegantly planned and Kept
in manner becoming the enlightened
people who have an interest in it, and
sacredly guarded as the silent home of
the dead should be- In a beautiful
spot in this cemetery rest the mortal
remains of a distinguished son of
Tennessee, James c. Jones. A finely
chiseled marble monument marks his
grave.
1t was now nearing Z o'clock, p. NJ,
when our friend MADDEN turned his
noble stee homeward, arriving just in
