AN ENGLi~H- COLONY
Al L0noke, Ark.-Someihfng of she
Pursuits and Habits Of the
COlonfsts.

An APPEAL reporter gained some interest.
ing points day or two ago through Mr.. r.
G. Fawcett, of the English colony near
Louoke, Ark, sixty miles away on the
Memphis and Little Rock railway. The
colony does nearly all of It's trading with
Memphis, and one Of their number may be
found in the city nearly any day. Mr.. Faw-
cett states that the colony numbers fifty.
three persons altogether, aud all of them are
related by blood or marriage. They left
Northamptonshirs ia 1881, and, going at once
TO Lonoke, settled upon 1900 acres of excel
lent prairie land, which had been bought for
them within mile and half of the town.
Most of this land is now under fence, and
six beautiful frame cotisges have been erected
icr their use. Water of very good quality
is procured from bofed wells, and
the health Of the community has been excel
lent. Few have complained at all aud only
one, child, has died since their arrival.
The colonists are devoted TO the rsi-ing of
hogs and cattle. They plant enough hay
and grain fer feeding their stock, and cult.
vate besides plenty OF wheat, potatoes and
garden stuff for their own consumption The
hay is cut by means of steam mower which
can b. easily handled on the level land.
Surplus hay and vegetables are shipped to
Memphis. Mr.. Fawceit declared he was
highly delighted with the country, and this
feeling was general in the colony, which he
thought would be gregtly increased BY fresh
arrivals in the next twelve months

GAS.


The Memphis Gas Company made applica.
tion in Chsncery yesterday for writ Of in.
Junction TO restrain the clerk of the Chsncery
Court from collecting $3.50 privilege taxes
assessed against the company at the April
term of the County Quarterly Court. Stripped
OF its legal verbiage the bill gives the fol-
lowing reasons why the tax should not be
required of them: The company is 3 char
tered institution and by its charter it makes
8 contract with the State to perform certain
services for certain considerations. By this
contract the company ia entitled to exercise
certain functions, the discharge of which
would be seriously impaired by the course
| now being taken by the clerk of the County
Court and his agent, Constable Thomas Gar
vey. A distress warrant has been Issued and
placed 10 the hands OF that officer, who, un-
leas the tax is paid, will sell the tanks used
by the company, and upon which he has
levied. The company bases its argument on
a section of the late acts of the Legislature
which places the tax of $3.50 per annum on
companies doing business in cities Of from
10000 to 10000, mssing point on the fact
that the population of Memphis is greater
than 10000. The application goes on to say
that the act is void under the CONF tuition,
and that the company is now coutesting, in
the Supreme Court at Jackson, the power OF
the Taxing District to levy simFiar tax,
and that the decision of this suit, which will
be made al this term of court, involves the
same points. Petitioners AK that upon final
hearing, the Injunction be made perpetual.

REAL ESTATE.
The Activity Of the Real Estate Market
List of Sales Made This
Month.
An Interview With a Leading Agent-A
Very Encouraging Outlook
for the Future.

The movement in real estate for the past
six weeks has been greater than for any like
length of time in years. A number of deal
ers with whom representative OF the AP.
PEAL talked yesterday spoke in the most en-
couraging terms OF the outlook for the future.
There is no boon" said one OF these gen.
tlemen, "but steady upward tendency in
prices, that mesBs more to US and to Mem
pbis than odd sales at fancy prices would
convey. City property has regular fixed
value and ii is steadily incre asipg. Another
notable feature of the market is that the
value Of suburban property can BE- more
definitely determined. A short time ago it
was impossible for any real estate dealer to
say wnat certain piece Of property
would command 10 The market, but now he
can do so. The value of suburban lots has
not risen very high, but they have a fixed
price in the market. That is the idea mean
to convey. This, L think, is due 10 increased
confidence in The future OF Memphis, caused
by the building of railroads, the erection Of
manufactures and the Introduction OF new
Industries. The trade of Memphis is branch
ing out, and with an increase OF trade and
population an incre ased value and steadinesi
in the real estate mar ket follows az = naturs
sequence. A Number OF circumstances de
note this. The principal pointer is the fac
that the back-tax collections have been thric'
as great this month as last and much create
then than the month before. The note-bool
of the registers Office will also give you Oh
idea OF the activity of real estate"
