THE DRIED FRUIT TRADE.
The Total Shipments Nearly Miilio1
Pounds.

The Total Shipments Nearly Million
Pounds.
The dried fruit business is now about at
an end for this season, and very little more
will be shipped. The total shipments from
this point to date is in the neighborhood of
thirty five cars, or about 100000 pounds.
This is even in excess of our estimate several
weeks ago, and is far beyond the most san
guine expectations of the dealers. 1t seems
absolutely incredible that in one season such
an enormous trade in any article could
spring up. Last year we handled only four
or five cars, and hardly that amount in pre-
previous years, but determined effort was
made this season to test our capacity in this
branch of trade, and the result was most
satisfactory. One firm has handled nearly
$50, 600 pounds; another firm handled 200,-
600 pounds. The rest was handled by
smaller dealers chattanooga Times.

Smallpox at Messy Creek.

We learned yesterday at the train that
two boys, about s or 10 years of age each,
died at Messy Greek Wednesday with small
pox. When those at present down with
the disease come out of it, it is thought
that there will be no other cases, as a rigid
quarantine is being enforced. We hope
that some of our friends will send US par
ticulsrs each day.

Panama Panning Out Badly.

PANAMA, December 29-The epi~
demic which has prevailed at Salena
Cruise and Tehuantepec for the last
fortnight, and which is supposed to
be cholera,is now 50 bad that Salena
is nearly deserted. Deaths there
average three daily, and at Tehuan-
sepec twenty-five daily. The railway
1aborers have deserted and work is
at a standstill. A Gordon has been
established between the two towns
and Oaxaca. The disease has been
caused, probably, by the scarcity
and impurity of water.

WE call attention to the article
headed political "Reminiscences
1t shows that in 1860 the RepubIi-
cans made the same charges
against the Democrats that the
Democrats now make against the
Republicans. 1t is d curious and
instructive document. 1t shows
What the Democrats did when in
power; and we know the Republi-
cans are more or less guilty of the
same acts.
These things should teach all
men of all parties to serve their
country more and their party less.
The Republicans are fast learning
this lesson. 1t is patriotism to
learn it fast and learn it well and
practice it when learned.
The Bourbons of both parties
learn nothing and forget nothing.
Ihe party that learns will live; the
party that sulks and pouts and re-
fuses to be instructed will never
prosper while patriotism aud prog
ress are words of power.

hurts the gold very much, but it SO

There was a day when such an

would make him forget the past misfortunes
that his journalistic mind may have been
troubled with.
The above springs are in high, dry section
OF country, being located thirty miles from the
nearest point OF White river lands, entirely
free from any malaria whatever. 1t being a
mountainous country, the scenery is very
grand. SugSr-Loaf mountain, from which
the springs takes its name, boasts most i'm
posing scenery. 1t Is situated in the val
ley OF Little Red river, and upon the bank
OF the river, and lifts its head $50 feet above
the bed OF the river, and Is capped by a
massive stone, covered with sufficient soil TO
produce an underground to shade her many
visitors upon a hot summer day Said
mountain has only one place of acors-. ard
you must turn edgewise to pass tar0a-
that The top OF the peak is eighty by 200
ieet, base covers some forty acres. Said
mountain is one and half miles from is
nearest neighbor, and would attract the
attention Of a sleepy traveller, in the J
lance. We have the finest of fishing .a.s
hunting grounds. Hunting and fishing seem
to be the order OF the day with most of our
visitors. Deer are brought in almost daily.
Our section OF country has been thrown
into considerable excitement recently, in
consequence OF some rich mineral findings
Some old Western miners visited our section
recently, and in passing they discovered
very rich outcroppings OF silver ore. They
say it is certainly rich in appearance as
the great silver mines of the West. We
would be glad to have others, with expe-
rience, come here and give the matter a
test, if such a thing is possible. If We
are living upon a bed OF silver, as some
assert, we would like to know it. 1t would
help Us out such times as these, if we could
put some of it upon our tables.
Crop prospects are fine here, no damage by
late cold snap, fruits of all kinds, farmers
are in the very best of spirits, they are
profting by the drouth. We have cattle
fat enough for beef, and potatoes large
enough to eat, so We are safe upon the eat
ing line
We are all Democratic in this section, and
don't propose to run the Malone machine

Romance OF the Middle Ages.

A gentleman remarked yesterday that he
was pleased to observe that all romance
the middle ages paraded by our Church
street contemporary somehow seemed to con-
tain the honorable names of the Hon. A. S.
Colyar, and of the Hon. A. S. Marks. We
have observed this popularity and with con-
siderable satisfaction, because we have drawn
general and indiscriminate waving of the
bloody shirt, but a qualified waving of, for
instance, merely a sleeve, the collar, OF the
other end of the linen, and not a display of
the entire shirt aloft as flag. 1t is not the
flag of the army, but, as it were, the armo-
rial bearings OF asingle Democratic knight,
or at most of two noble knights of the Dem
ocratic host. 1t is our own opinion that our
Contemporary would have done Mr.. Colyar
more service if it had paraded his services in
the material development of the State, in
that case for instance in which large
amount of capital was invested in coal mines
as to which the leading investor declared
that the settlement of the State debt was one
of the inducements for making the invest
ment. We know that our coiemporary de-
clines to admit that the State can afford to
make this preparation for capital, but such
was the statement of one of his own in
vestors. Would ii not have been better to
have paraded that investment? The action
of Mr. Colyar in the Franklin county case
was exactly right, honorable, heroic; but
these MEDIEVAL romances might well be left
to the troubadours. That they may be
harmlessly emblazoned upon the shield of
our cotemporary's stakeholder" as armorial
bearings we allow, provided it shall stop
there; but we will venture that our revered
cotemporary will snot go very much further
into the bloody shirt business. 1t will be
found that the public is not in that mood
whatever its humor.-Nashrlle Bonner.

sUGAR.L0AF SPRINGS. ARK.
A Recently Discovered Resort for Those
Who are i'm Search of Health.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
SUGAR LOAF SPRINGS, VAN buren, Co.,
ARK, May 3.-Though we live in this part
of Arkansas, we are we'll acquainted with
your invaluable paper, and would like to
see it circulated to the most remote parts of
our grand and glorious State. / say grand
and glorious, from the fact that it has ex-
cited the wonder of the entire world by It's
unexeelled medicinal waters, and yet here is
a group of the very best. which are sui
phurous and chaly beate; i've sulphur. and
all different. We have the finest black,
white and red sulphur known upon the con-
tinent, which every one attesis who tries
them. These springs are of no recent
origin. They were discovered some seventy
years ago, but fell into the hands Of gen.
tlernan at an early date, who would neither
improve them nor let any one else, unless
they would purchase them at his price,
which was SO, 900, they being surrounded by
a dense thieket. But Arkansas waters were
in too great demand to permit such boon
to remain dormant any longer, so company
purchased said springs at the aforesaid price,
and gave the people a chance to get the
benefit of the very excellent health waters
The result Is that within the past ten weeks
there has gone up some nifty houses, ten oil
which are business. One large hotel Will
soon be finished, and another Is to commence
this week: and still the demand is great for
others. Some good hotel man would do
well to come here and put up house sui
fcient to accommodate 300 guests. You
can hear hammers in all direction, and new
additions are made almost daily. To zee the
spirit of improvement here, one would for-
get that this was year long TO be remem-
bered on account OF the severe drouth. Oar
town now numbers over 200, and is daily in
creasing.
