Tenement Houses.

There is not, as far as we know, q vacant
house ii Benton, or at least none that can be
rented. Every day there are parties wanting
to rent houses and it is rarely their wants ID
this respect are satisfied. There are no
houses to rent. This status of things should
not obtain, and especially not when there IS
no safer or better investment Of capital than
in Just such property. Rents are high and
the man who puts $500 or q $1,000 in 9 tene-
ment house can realize On the same much
and the investment is one of absolute safety
besides. But while he is thus benefing
himself in a %pecuniary way he is at the same
time assisting in the development of Benton,
something that every citizen should take a
pride in doing. AS the demand for tenement
houses Is becoming stronger every week, iii
to be hoped that some of our citizens who
have capital and enterprise essential will pro-
coed to supply the crying want of Benton at
this time. 1t is by no means too late to be-
gin. If twenty-five neat and comfortable
houses are erected this fall the PRESS will
guarantee that every one of them will be ia
ken as fast as completed. It is a rare chance
for the profitable investment Of capital, and
our enterprising citizens should not let It
slip by. If Benton is to s'spread out" very
much this season there must be houses for
the desiring-to-be citizens to abide il for q
time, at least. At the present time if a gen
tleman of family wished to cast his lot
among us he could not, at scarcely any
price, secure a house. This is absolutely
true, and there could not be a stronger argu-
ment set forth in proof of the fact that an IN
vestment in tenement houses just now would
be decidedly profitable.

Something About Fans.

Kan 81 was the first lady who carried
fan. She lived in ages which are past,
and, for the most part, forgotten, and
she was the daughter of Chinese man.
DARN. Who ever saw mandarin, even
on q tea-chest, without his fan? In
China and Japan 60 this day every one
has fan, and there are fans of all sorts
for everybody. The japanese waves his
fan at you when he meets you, by way
of greeting, and the beggar who solicits
for aims has the exceedingly small coin
"made on purpose for charity present
ed to him on the tip of the fan.
In ancient times, among the Greeks
and Romans, fans seem to have been
enormous they were generally made of
feathers, and carried by slaves over the
heads of their masters and misstresses,
to protect them from the Gun, or waved
about before them to stir the air.
Catherine de Medicis carried the first
folding fan ever seen in France; and, in
the time of Louis XIV, the fan was a
gorgeous thing, often covered with Jew
els, and worth a small fortune. In En-
gland they were the fashion in the time
of Henry VIII. All his many wives
carried them. A fan set in diamonds
was once given to Queen Elizabeth upon
New Years day.
The Mexican feather fans which Cor
tez had from Montezuma were marvels
of beauty, and in Spain large black
fan is the favorite. 1t is said that the
use of the fan is as carefully taught in
that country as any other branch of
education, and that, by well-known
code of signals, Spanish lady can carry
on long conversation with any one, es-
pecially an admirer.
The Japanese criminal of rank is DO
litely executed by means of fan. On
being sentenced to death he is presented
with q fan, which he must receive with
n low bow, and, as he bows, presto the
executioner draws his sword and cuts
his head of. In, fact there is fan for
every occasion in Japan.-Harper's
Young Fbiks.

MAJOR GRIEsT's Inquirer cOrrectS our
statement that the Cameron faction has
"always fought " Hon. A. Herr Smith
for Congress with the explanation that
" it was not until 1878, when DR.. J. p.
Roebuck was candidate, that the Cam
eron faction opposed Mr.. Smith, giving
their support to the former, to whom
they felt in some measure indebted.
In 1880 Mr.. Smith was again nOmi-
mated. but we believe the special
friends OF Mr.. Cameron, as body, took
no part in the contest" The editor
Of the Inq,t;,er has been there SO often
and knows so we'll how it is himself that
his statement must be accepted as fact.
1t may have been only when Smith re-
fused to let them run him and his Office,
and when Major Griest put on the collar
that the Cameron heelers went OH the
warpath for Mr.. Smiths scalp and had
the felicity of losing their own to adorn
his belt. 1t would be interesting and OF
permanent value if the editor of the
Iuq,tirrr would also let us have the date
of his own change Oi relation to the
Cameron faction. If might be seen ia
correspond with the change of the
Cameron factions feeling to Smith.
