The Hot Springs Sentinel, Oh the
subject of railroads and discIinina-
ting legislation against the same, has
the following sensible remarks:
alt is to be regretted that so ma
ny bills embodying malevolencc to
railroads were presented at the last
session of our legislature. That these
bills were presented does not signify
that bill like any one OF them will
ever be passed, Really, the failure
to pass any one of them may be TAX
en- To denote that no such legislation
will ever be passed. But there is no
doubt whatever that the fact that
these bills were presented has had
the effect of soaring capitalists from
investing in our state and giving us
greatly needed and better railroad
facilities. Had Legislation favorable
to railroads been passed the result
desired by the trainers OF the many
bills would have been secured i'll a
much better way. Our state would
then soon be a network of railroads
and we would secure the best accom-
modations and minimum rates OF
transportation by the never failing
Law of competition. 1t would be
eminently better to secure the desld-
erative in this way for many reason,
Our large scope of unsettled country
would be opened up to Immigration
The hidden resources of our noun
tains. that now lie beyond reach OF
transportation would be developed
and made profitable. Every town
would be benefited by the building
of a new road through it, as there
would be one more road interested
in the places prosperity, and in or
der to make the road profitable II
would do all it could to further de-
velop the resources Of the country
through which 1t passed, CapiIa'
seeking investment would flow il
without the asking, and the state
would soon TEEN with prosperous
iife.
On the other hand il we secure
cheap transportation by Legislation
f, wc limit the building of railroads
dcpr,vc ourselves of better connec'

accommodations they choose to give

PIKE county again comes to the
front with another burning of a pris-
oner in Jail. The new brick jail
having been destroyed in cremating
the Polk boys some time since, AN
other murderer having been arrested
for the crime Of murder, he was put
in the old Jail, a wooden building
without doors, a ladder and trap
door at the top being the only means
Of entrance and exit; around this a
mob gathered, and saturating the
lower parts of the building with coal
oil, set it on fire. The building and
the victim of mob law were reduced
to ashes.

Communicated L

DEAR TINES: Will you be kint
enough to give through the columns
of your well-known paper a few
thoughts that rest on my mind tl,i.
evening, of one highly respected and
much loved, in your own little town
as well as elsewhere, and whose
death ! should->have recorded ere
this, but from almost uncomfortable
circumstances have been prevented
AT this, the beginning of Autumn's
sombre days, while watching the
leaves as they turn and fall, sad
sweet memory turns to days gone by
and rests with iondness even on the
very name Of him who is the subjec,
of this tribute.
b. b. Smith was born near Friend
ship, Tenn, March 9th, 1874, NOV
ed to Yorkville, Gibson Co., Tenn.
in 1868; died May 4th., 1885.
In 1850, he was united in mar.
riage to Miss Sudie Townsend, OF
Yorkville, Tenn a remarkably ami
able, intelligent and highly cultiva-
ted christian lady, who, jnst as her
pure spirit was about to take Its
flight to a better cline, SAID to her
companion, "One short, sweet year
we have lived together"
Brother Bert. was a member OF
the NJ. K. Church South from early
boyhood, and the people of his coun-
ty and the community in which he
was so intimately associated, will
testify to the truth that he was sec
ond to none in moral, social and
purely intellectual enterprises.
The writer's acquaintance with
him began in 1882, and never met
gentleman of more culture, refine
ment and unlimited kindness, whose
feelings were as tender and true as
the delicate blossoms that shed their
leaves above his silent grave.
He was surely a star of the first
magnitude, which now shines bright
ly in the diadem of the armament
celestial. And to the weeping and
sorrowing friends, heart-broken rela-
tives, and especially the idolizing
sister and family with whom he re-
sided, we can only offer coincidence
by referring you to his well spent
life, and the oft repeated assurances
of his faith and hopeful interest in
the Holy City. Then let us not
weep like those who have no hope,
But prepare to meet dear Bert again,
In a sweeter home than this;
Where day is one unclouded morn,
No night but perfect bliss
Will his kind family friends whose
generous hospitalites | have SO Of
ten gratefully shared please accep,
the sincere thanks, heartfelt sympa-
thy, and kindest wishes cf a true
and earnest friend. j. S. l..
Frenchman Bayou, Oct. II, 1880.
TO MISS ANNIE CoRLEY.
Please accept this memento of
gratitude, which was denied the
pleasure OF expressing to your un-
Gle for his many kindnesses; aud es-
peeially for a lovely little present,
gladly received, on his return from
the Exposition. The name Of which
YOU will find enclosed in these lines
beginning with the four endearing
letters Inscribed on the vine-wreath-
ed cross above his sacred form.

Intelligence has just reached this office
of the sad ending of one of our most
charming and lovely daughters. II now
comes to light that while on visit to
the New Orleans exposition she saw dis
played there II beautiful decorated
china set from the ladies of this city, and
that desire to possess it became so
great that she finally determined TO pur-
chase it, but on learning that 1t was to
be sold at auction by Cotton d Bolton
ut their store house, she fearing that
some one would get at it, it is presumed
became Respondent and committed the
sad deed. The china set, which has
caused this sad ending Of beautiful and
accomplished young lady, can be seen at
81 and 20 West Houston street, where 1t
will be offered at public auction on
Saturday, November II, at TO a. m.
Every buyer in the city should see 1t; it
is beautiful, and cost $3.50; will be sold
without limit.

A MOUNTAIN PINK.


The Mountain Pink is a sterling drama
and by this time its plot is familiar to
the play-going public. The production
last evening Mt Turner hall Of this play
was In every respect an admirable one,
Miss Bella Moore as Sincerity Weeks
showing herself to be charming and
unaffected actress, and the audience was
pleasantly surprised at the strong dra-
matte power she displayed In the latter
portion of the drama. Miss Moore, IL IL
rumored intends returning to the variety
stage again. but 1t is to be hoped that
she will reconsider her purpose. IL Is TO
be deplored that so talented an actress
should be lost to the "legitimate'
stage. Mr.. George Hanna, as Jack
Weeks, is u very fine study,
and his spouse, Symantha Weeks. repre-
sented by Miss Ruth Hawkins, was
equally as good Belle TraftOn, in the
hands OF Miss Lillian Langlord, was
finished performance, and the Nondas OF
Miss Katharine Walsh was well con
ceived character. The remainder of the
cast was all excellent. This evening the
same company will present joaquin
Millcr's eel brated "Dunites.n The de-
served popularity Of this drama. and the
excellent company presenting IL VIII
insure 1t n crowded house.
In the above notice Of Miss Bella
Moore, in her performance Of A Noun
tain Pink, she Is spoken of as being CON
nected with the variety stage. Tho re-
porter confused Miss Bella Moore with
Miss Flora Moore, who intends returning
to the variety stage. The LiGuT hastens
to correct the statement, and Is all the
more pleased to chronicle that Miss Bel
In Moore intends remaining on the dra-
matte stage, where she has bright
future beiOrc.hcr.

Another Runaway.

The team attached to the delivery
wagon OF the Pacific Express company,
ran away on Main plaza yesterday after
noon and started down Commerce street
ai terrific pace. The telephone pole
at Deutsch's corner was struck, the
wheels were torn on the wagon, which
was upset, the driver thrown out, and
the horses thrown down, which stopped
the runaway. The carriage of Milton
Vance, containing some ladies, was
struck by the wagon and a spoke Of the
buggy-wheel knocked out. A doctors
phGeton standing by the sidewalk was
also struck and showed sldewise into the
middle OF the street.
