LoNoKE, ARK, March l5.-Whil
there are no strikes here we neyerthe
less have the terrible boycott. 1t is
new one, too. 1t is a boycott agains
boys or young men who get druns
and has been inaugurated quite re
Gently by circle Of young ladies VIII,
propose to stand by it to the end
While new feature in society here, i
is hoped that it is permanent.
Forrest City has solved the problem
of perpetual motion. / have Jus
talked with the stockholders OF
company who are constructing
machine for exhibition. The chic
points are a funnel-mouthed pipe t
be thirty or forty feet high, and thu
machine placed at the mouth of it il
to run by the current of rarified ali
that, passing up, creates a draft. 4
butterfly regulator controls the cur
rent, so that the speed is uniform, the
current of air to act on revolving cups
like those used by the Signal Service
A small model proves the fact that il
will work, and the present company
propose to construct one that will run
a locomotive. 1t is a strong company
Mr.. Blayrock, a capitalist; Capt. Win.
tnrop, proprietor Of the Opera House
and capitalist; Geo. Wilson. con.
tractor, ETC., and Mr.. Williams, gen.
eral solicitor and counsel. A man
named Gardner is the inventor, and
gives an interestto the moneyed parties
to introduce it. 1t is proposed to
exhibit it in Europe during the coming
summer.
The country people are feeling some
concern about the strike. Many OF
the planters draw on st. Louis for
supplies, and the prospect of being
cut off alarms them, as it means no
crops. They were generally with the
strikers till they saw they were be-
tween them and their cribs and smoke
houses.
The Knights of Pythias played
Damon and Pythias to a good house in
England's Opera-House tonight.
Mr.. c. England, attorney, etc, is Sc
riously ill with erysipelas.
w. H, Eagh, the largest planter in
the country and well known in your
city, is on crutch owing to an injury
received yesterday which superin-
duced rheumatism.
Hugh Ross, another planter, was
married to a young lady in Rich
woods Sunday. Hugh is a royal fell
low and quite thrifty.
Considerable foreign immigration
here this spring.
Arkansas is on a boom. Farmers
are opening a great deal of land, and
building houses, fences and barns
more than ever before. Every little
town and hamlet looks as spotted as
Joseph's coat, with new, implanted
houses, and it is next to impossible to
get work done except during a breath
ing spell, now and then. Merchants
are bringing on larger stocks than
usual for this reason, and altogether
the outlook seems to be good.
Col. Goodbar brought over few
fine Holstein cattle to stock his farm.
We shall soon have plenty of fine
stock. Mr. Eagle has some fine Dur
hams, and Messrs. Matthews and
Dunlap, at Hazen, have brought in
several carloads of blooded and
graded yearlings, and the result is
that everybody have their eyes on
stock and vast improve
ment in cattle.
Mrs. Laughborough, one of the pro-
prietors of the Ladies Journal, is in
town soliciting subscriptions and
with success, as she ought.
Her charming daughter is accompany
ing her.
