The Helena World says that "Jas.

"A Century after; or, Philadelphia
and its surroundings, illustrated, is a
superb pictorial exemplar of the advance
in industry and the arts Of the nation
whose birth was first formally announced
there in 1915. 1t will be completed in
fifteen numbers, and should be in the
hands of every one who wishes to COM
prebend the almost magic wonders that
a free people have wrought out from
rude beginnings.
We happened in at Goebels green
house on Second near Beale street yes
terday, and saw in preparation by that
prince of floral artists several ornamental
designs that for beauty and exquisite
taste eclipsed anything of the kind our
eyes ever beheld. We could get nothing
out Of Goebel as to who they were for,
but our eyes were opened at the Opera
house last night when we saw them pre-
sented to the young lady graduates OF
the female h'Rf -'chool. GOebel is GER
tainly an artist in the science Of horti-
culture.
The Helena World thus rej0ices at
the prospect of an extra loaf for lunch
during the coming season: "There's
good time coming, boys. 1t is estima-
ted that five thousand acres of wheat
are growing in old Phillips this season.
This, with moderate yield, will make
fifteen thousand barrels Of -four, which,
with the cOrnmeal used, will about bread
the county. 1t would look like business
to see wheat in bulk by the carload
come into Helena, and after being
ground, shipped off in barrels branded
Arkansas mills"
