a NEW HEALTH SPA.
The Arkansas Wilds are Full OF
Them.

Numbers of people from this vicin-
ity have recently gone over to Arkan-
sas for their health and recreation.
Several found all they desired at the
Armstrong springs, a few miles from
Searcy, in White county. A gentle
man Of this city, who went there some
weeks ago, writes to a friend here
regarding the salubrity and loveliness
Of the resort as follows:
THE accommodations here are bad.
One has to rough it, and the three
hundred now here, all good people.
include doctors, lawyers, colonies,
majors and some captains, are all
roughing it. They live in the brush,
in tents, in wagons. and now and
them in cabins. The hotel is an old
country log house. We get plenty 10
eat, and it is well prepared, but would
hardly compare in style with that Of
a 6rst-class hotel in a large city.
Visitors have a good time hunting,
playing cards, and the like, and all
seem to enjoy themselves. The only
way to secure accommodation here.
is to come straight to the spot. They
will always manage to provide for a
visitor, and make him comfortable
though, as l before remarked, he mus
be prepared to rough it.
A number of wonder, ul cures have
been accomplished, but paralysis
kidney diseases, including that known
as Brights in its very worst form,
sore eyes, dropsy, and almost every
ailment the human flesh is heir to
There has been much excitement
about many Of the almost miraculoul
cures. People write from all parts Of
the country, to get accommodation
ahead, but only those secur,
quarters who come right alonJ
and take the chances. There ar,
two routes to reach ArmstronI
springs. One is by the White rive
packet to West Point on Little Red
thence by mule railway to Searcy, an,
then by stage nine miles. The othe
is by the Memphis and Little Roc
railroad to Little Rock, then by tn
Iron Mountain railroad to Kenset
station, some fifty miles, thence fou
miles by mule railway to Searcy, theme
nine miles by stage, as before. TIL
, rate Of board here is 81 per week, 0
$25 per month.

A Timely Suggestion.

EDITOR PUBLIC LEDGER.-Now,
that the suggestion of our Mr.. Snow
den has been fully endorsed, and our
citizens generally are ripe for the
demonstration, allow me to make an
other little suggestion, which, per-
haps, has been overlooked. In the
grand procession proposed, nothing
would add so greatly as a fine display
of the military, and we should, by all
means, invite the companies from our
neighboring cities and towns and urge
them to come and take part with US.
No doubt the companies from Clarks-
vile, Nashville, Brownsville, Chatta-
nooga, Knoxville, Holly Springs, Lit
tie Rock, Helena and other places
would gladly be with us, if the trans
portation lines could be induced to
have the fare placed at a low excur-
sion rate. These companies could be
right royalty entertained by our home
companies, and present to our country
friends a beautiful spectacle indeed.
Don't you think SOP r,

tifcial ice in large quantities during
midsummer, is in contemplation
among our leading dealers, and they
expect to have it in operation by next
spring. Whether we have a cool or a
warm winter, we are likely to have
plenty ofcheap ice next summer.
Lots of good things in the shape of
marmalades, jams and sweet pickle
have been carefully sealed in jars,
labeled and snugly stored away for
winter use by the careful housewife.
Many a pantry key will be missing,
many a big spoonful Of "goOdy will
slide down the throat of the small boy,
and many a bottle of ~paregoric will
follow in the wake.
Miss Minnie Hunter, a gifted and
charming young vocalist, whose first
appearance as an amateur before the
public, a year or two ago, was greeted
with SO much applause, has been
studying music, elocution and other
branches for a year past at one of the
noted schools in Staunton, Va. The
vacation was spent at her home, in the
family Of MI. Chas. P. Miller, her
brother law, in this city. She left
this morning for Staunton, to remain
another year. We learn hat she is
as great a favorite there al in Mem
phis, and also that her voice charm
iugalike in speech and song, has great
ly improved in depth, strength and
richness CT tones. Her friends pre-
dict for her great triumphs in the
future.

A Memphis Excursion.

At a called meeting of the cotton
exchange, last evening, preliminary
arrangements, looking to a grand ex-
c%ursiOn, by river and rail, to Mem
phis, were made. A communication
was read, from Mr.. Harrington, super
intendent of the Memphis and Louis
vile railroad, Offering to make excur-
sion rates at any time deemed most
e~xpedient. After some debate as to
the most appropriate time, it was
agreed that about the middle of Sep
TENDER would suit best. President
Hadden, e. Lowenstein, w. w.
Schoolfeld, A. Vaccaro, J. I. Willins.
I. s. Davant, W. B. Mallory, A.. S.
Livermore, james Lee, jr., A. L..
Cochran and John League were APP
pointed as an executive committee to
perfect arrangements. The move is a
good one and will receive the heartiest
%supportand endorsement of thepeople.
The eyes OF the country are now GEN.
tered upon Memphis, and thousands
will visit us that they may have occu-
lar proof Of the assertions made by
newspapers at home and abroad, con-
corning the vast amount of sanitary
and other public works done here.
Arrangements should and will be
made to make our guests have a pleas
ant time, carrying with them when
they leave, a good impression Of Mem
phis and her people. 1t is proposed
to do the thing properly and to spare
no pains to reach ends.

KEEP CLEAN.
Two citizens were fined FIVE dollars
each this morning by DR.. Porter. The
practice has been to give every one
so many days to clean up after having
been served with a warrant, but as
leniency does not work so well, the
severe way had to be taken.
