According to the News,
Griffin can boast of a citizen
who still has confidence in Con-
federate money. That paper
says he has a fish pond near the
city, and will allow anybody to
fish in it one day for one hun
dred dollars inConfederate mon
ey. He has a mill and he will
sell a bushel of meal for one
hundred dollars, or he will give
one dollar in greenback or gold
for one hundred dollars.

ARE THE CHILDREN HOME9

ARE The CHILDREN HOME?
Each day, when the glow of sunset
Fades in the western sky,
And the wee ones, tired of playing,
Go tripping lightly by,
steal away from my husband,
Asleep in his easy chair,
And watch from the open doorway
Their faces fresh and fair.
Alone in the dear old homestead
That once was full of life,
Ringing with girlish laughter,
Echoing bOyish strife,
We two are waiting together;
And oft, as the shadows come,
With fremulous voice he calls me,
'.It is night are the children homer"
"Yes, love-" answer him gently,
They're all home long ago."
And | sing, in quivering treble,
A song so soft and low,
Till the old man drops to slumber,
With hishead upon his hand,
And | tell 10 myself the number
AT home in better land.
T Home, where never a sorrow
Shall dim their eyes with tears,
Where the smile of God is on them
Through all the summer years.
know, yet my arms are empty
That fondly folded seven,
And the mother heart within me
Is almost starved for heaven.
Sometimes, in the dusk of evening,
only shut my eyes,
And the children are all about me,
A vision from the skies;
The babes whose dimpled fingers
Lost the way to my breast,
And the beautiful ones, the angels,
Passed to the world of the bIest,
A breath, and the vision is lifted
Away on wings of light
And again we two are together,
All alone in the night.
They tell me his mind is failing,
But smile at idle fears;
lie is only back with the children,
In the dear and peaceful years.
And still as the summer sunset
Fades away in the west,
And the wee ones, tired of playing,
Go trooping home to rest,
My husband calls from his corner,
"Say, love! have the children come?''
And answer, with eyes upIifted,
"Yes, deari they are all at home!''

wife Familiarity, saying
''HOWDY, POLLY ANN .

| -
"HOWDY, POLLY ANN"
In great surprise she replied,
|"Why, lhowdy, WilL'' After
shaking hands with her he ask
ed, pointing to a handsome young
girl, il that was Emma? She
answered that it was. He took
the girls hand, and, with tears
in his eyes, told her that he was
her father; that she had been ta-
ken from him when she was on
ly three years old; that he had
been looking for her for the last
fourteen years; that, thank Godl
he had at last found her, and
that he had come to take her to
a comfortable home, and from
the poverty and misery in which
she had been raised. He asked
her if she was willing to go with
him. She replied that she was.
Upon this the old woman and
the other children set up
A GREAT LANENTATIoN,
And said she would never 90.
They seized hold of her, but by
some exertion Holland, assisted
by her, succeeded in releasing
her, and getting her away from
the house. They went to the
neighbor's where the girl was
hired out as an ordinary field
hand, and got the few articles.
of wearing apparel which she
possessed. A fter purchasing
for her a pair of shoes and other
articles alta store hard by, they
returned that night with Mr.
Halselden to his house, where
they were cordially received, and
sent the next morning. on their
way rejoicing to the station at
Pee-Dee, and, we suppose, ar
rived at home the next day. The
girl had been informed by some
;ympathizing neighbors who and
what she was, and that her fa-
her was coming for her, which
accounts for the readiness with
which she consented to 60 with
lim. She was seventeen years

Jones resigned the posi- tion and returned to Chicago in Au- gust 1875. He was rendered by President Grant Ithe position of See retary of the Interior, which he de. clined, and was appointed Collector of the Port of Chicago. In I84S, MT. Jones was marrled to Miss F. A.

We learn from our attorneys who were recently in Newton county, at tending circuit court, that the feel ing of indignation at the course Of w, R. Lee. their representative in the legislature, is intense. He is condemned alike by republicans and democrats. Their information is, that Lee pledged himself to vote for Walker for senator on the stump in every township, except ore, and in the latter case, baying forgotten to do so, he .ode back half a mile to inform those who remained on the ground that he was a Walker man. - Fayetteville Sentinel.
 HARTRANFT will accept the Phil adelphia postmastership, and thinks he can be of more service to the Re publican. party in that capacity than by filling a position out of the State. That is to say, he will use the postotIice for politics. Mir. Hayes should read over his late letter to Merritt. in which he declares that the post. offices and customhouses of the country are for business. and after renewing his faith in the cor rectness of disposition, he should re fuse to appoint Hartranft.

Attempted Robbery ofa County
 Treasury.

CONWAY, ARK. March 3, 1879. 4 The County Treasurer's office, in the Court House, was broken open last night, and bungling effort made to break open the rreasurer's safe with a slcdgc hammer. The door knob and hinges were broken off Failing in thus opening the safe, q wagon was obtained and the safe transferred to the same. The wagon heinz a light spring one, was broken down, and the safe found lying out in the yard. There is no clue to the .pe:pctrator of this bold attempt at burglary. From the awkward way m which the job was done, it is sus- pected that It is the work of the Memphis negroes who lately emigra ted to this place.

RAILROAD RACKET.
The Arkansas and the Joplin
 Extension.

When it was first rumored that the Joplin Railroad would perhaps be extended south, the people of Neosho and Merton county saw at once the great benefit to be derived from hay ing it located advantage ously for them, and went to work with will and did not stop until they had se- cured the prize beyond a doubt.
 The people of Arkansas now be. gin to see the great need of it, and we are informed that they now look to the extension Of the road us sup plying q long felt want, and that they have gone to work in dead ear nest. There is no computing the value of this road to Arkansas. When finished it will form one of the main outlets, and the want of such high. ways of trade and commerce has, as everyone Knows, been 2 great draw back to that State. It will give them competing lines, diversity of markets for their immense produc- tions of cotton, pork, cereals and na tive pine lumber, and will not only do this, but bring into the State an energetic and thrifty class of people who will soon make it one of the most productive states In the West. Being 'in the backwoods" is what has always caused Alkansas to lose it's portion of the emigration from the eastern States and gave to it a reputation for seclusion not by any means attractive. l. now has an ap- portunity to get an important line of ralroad-a railroad running through and from points that need her surplus of grain, neat and tim. ber-and that road is in the control of men who are abuudantly able and htINV buN hSNSo7ii5 dilObHb VI SIVi- gy to push it forward to an early completion if they only get the prop. CT encouragement. These meh are not builders of railroads on paper, like great many who heretofore have pretended to make q strike for Arkansas, bat they are men who, when they start to do anything, do 1t inc arnest.
 Pro0dent E. R. MohFet, of the Jop- lin Railroad, has returned from Ar kansas, where lie has been on bust. ness connected with the extension of the road into Shat State. He says the bill granting land to the compa- ny has passed both houses of the legislature and has become a law. This iusures the extension of the road beyond a doubt, and it IS ex- pected that work will begin within very short time. The Arkansans are very enthusiastic for tue road. Joplin News.
