Nevada County picayune., 1886-04-14
Trip to Little Rock,

of Roses, in the interest Of the PIG AYUNE, and while there took some notes that will be of interest to our readers.
 Calling at the Capitol, we enjoy ed social chat with our efficient and clever Democratic Governor, Simon F. Hughes. Also called on the other State officials, especially enjoying the chats with Treasurer w. E. Woodruff and Secretary of State E. F. Moore. In going through the State House, we could not help noticing and adnniring the great change in the makeup and general appearance of the building. With very small appropriation, s30,0O0, the old building has been completely transformed, and new wing added. Our capitol is now not only splendid looking, but well arranged, and in keeping with the States progress. As most of our readers know, it is most beau tifully located on a high bluff, di- Frectly on the banks of the broad and placid Arkansas-the river in the rear, with a beautiful park fronting on West Markham street.
 Little Rock has other fine pub lie buildings, among them the U. $. custom house and post-oilice, the Methodist college, the different fine church edilices, the State Deaf Mute Institute, and looming up on a hill in the Southern part of the city; the State penitentiary, with its high, solid walls of masonry, At some future time we contem plate visiting the latter, for tie benefit of our readers.
 Tn going the rounds among the business men, number of new ads were secured from tine most pro- gresslve, who know how to bid for trade from Southwest Arkansas. The largest dry goods house of the city and State, Quinn X Gray, has just finished the artistic arrange ment and display of their immense stock in the large and commodious opera house building on Main stIeet. The whole of the three stories are taken up by this firm. Quinn X Gray give the biggest bargains in all kinds of dry-gools of any house in the State, at whole sale and retail. Wait and read their big ad which will appear in week or two.
 Fone's Bro's. POP Main Street, are the old reliable hardware men of the city. They keep first-class stock of general hardware, cooking stoves, etc.. aud propose to sell at wholesale, at prices and on terms that will help merchants in smaller towns. The hardware men of Pres colt and surrounding towns ought to trade with this house, as a home industry, especially as 1t will treat them as well as aLy other whole sale house Try them ;nd see. Read their neat ad. elsewhere.
 Maxwell Bros, near the Capital hotel, are the boss matters and gents furnishers. They are the only reliable hat house in Arkansas, that we can highly recommend. They keep a large and well assort- ed stock of the latest styles of all kinds of hats and gents furnishing goods, and do not gouge their GUS toners in prices. We hope our friends wanting anything in their line, will give them a trial. Call on or address them at Little Rock, Arkansas.
 The United States Life Insur. ance Company of Little Rock, Frank r. Dunn, President, have something to say to our readers. MT. Dunn is a clever, nicc gentle man, and is the head of this new mutual company, that has already secured a good-sized membership, over GOO, although only organized few months ago. Read the ad- vertisement.
 Taken altogether, onr trip to Lit tie Rock was quite pleasant. Sor- ry our space will not allow mention of other leading firms, on whom we called.
