HE A~PCLOGIzED.
A Couple Of Muscular Arkansas Females
Bring a Grocery Merchant to Taw.

Joplin Herald.l
Yesterday an old gentleman, accom-
panied by his two daughters, arrived
in the city from Arkansas with a load
of dried peaches and sweet potatoes.
He drove up to a certain grocery store
on Main street and asked the proprie-
tor what he was giving for the product
already mentioned, The grocer told
him, but the old man didn't think it
enough, and insisted that the grocer
should take his load and pay him
more than the price that had been
mentioned. Quite an argument en-
sued, but the merchant failed to satisfy
the Arkansan that he had offered all
that the articles were worth.
After becoming convinced that
there was no likelihood of striking a
trade, and seeing that the old man
seemed to think that he had a weeks
talking engagement, the man of gro
ceries turned around, rather uncere-
moniOusly, and left Arkansaw talking
to space. The young ladies were rare
specimens of the Rackensack female,
with wonderfully developed biceps,
and when they saw that the old man
had been snubbed their anger knew no
bounds. They got right down out of
that wagon, walked right into that
store, took that merchant by each ear,
walked him around that room two or
three times, jammed him against a
coal oil tank, and, sticking their faces
so close to his hal he couldn't get his
breath, informed him hal if he would
go outside the corporation they would
'thump the stufin' Outn him just too
quick to talk about
The young man tried to explain
offered to buy everything they had.
wagon and all, and paythem their own
price for it-but they wouldn't listen
TO him their feelings were lacerated.
they wanted revenge, and they were
going to have it. They didn't propose
to have any old, ornery, old greasy
old grocery-keeper insult their old
dad" in such a style, and nothing
short of begging the old mans pardon
would satisfy them. Old Arkansaw
was called back, the matter was talked
over, the merchant bought the peaches
and sweet potatoes, hands were shaken
across the bloody chasm, and the vic
torious party withdrew from the field.
After they had got out of the door
their victim drew a long breath and
sadly remarked, as tears as large as
horsechestnuts trickled down his
cheeks, that he would go two to one
that there were seven pecks of garlic
in every square inch of breath that
those girls blew up his devoted nose.

MANUFACTURES IN THE SOUTH
Advantages of Southern MilIs--The Rea-
son Why the Mills Don't Come
to the Cotton.

The practiced observer and we'll
known correspondent, Edward King,
in a recent letter to the Boston Jour
nal, relates how a Northern gentleman
who had been making a trip through
Georgia and South Carolina, went
back strongly impressed with the pros
poets of those sections for the develop
ment Of manufactures. He had been
in Augusta, Graniteville, Columbus
and other places where the manufac-
ture Of cotton goods is carried on with
great success. He had seen a Scotch
man who was settled in Georgia, and
who told him that he is making ging-
hams as fast as the machinery will
turn them out. Every yard of these
ginghams is sold in the Southern
States just as fast as it is put into the
market. The Scotchman said that he
began by bringing labor from Scotland,
but that it proved worthless, for rea-
sons which he did not state, and that
as soon as the native population was
induced to labor, it furnished all the
operatives required at the most reason
able rates. He was always besieged
by girls anxious for work, and the
places for substitutes even we're
battled for. The Northern man was
so much impressed by the various ad-
Vantages that Southern cotton mills
must always have over Northern ones.
that he has become convinced that
the South will in the future be our
great manufacturing section. Mr..
King adds:
There are a hundred economies I'M
known to our New England mills
which are daily practiced in the estab-
lishments at Augusta and Graniteville.
Cotton which is brought but a few
miles does not have to be pressed so
that its masses in the bales are almost
as hard as iron, and so that it is mas
sacred when it comes to the picker.
All the water wheels, etc, which in
the North are protected and barricaded
against cold and ice, are unprotected
In the South. There as so many SUI
periorities in the Southern location
that every visitor in this region adj
mits them. Then the Southerner says :
We'll, sir, why don't you come
down here and start manufacturing on
a large scale ?"
And the Northern man answers:
Because you have no settled gov
eminent. Because you do not hang
people relentlessly when they commit
murder. Because your public debt
may possibly be repudiated. Because
could not be sure hat my property
would be worth anything for any
length Of time. Because"
And there in nine cases out Of ten
the matter rests"
