Drs. Stanley, Briggs and Root Of
Hot Springs have been appointed a
board of examining surgeons for pen
sions for Hot Springs. These are un-
doubtedly good appointments as each
one Of these gentlemen stands we'll up
in his profession. 1t is eminently
proper that board of this kind be es-
tablished here as there will he consid-
cradle business to be done.
We are soon to have an enlarged
msnufacting industry IN Hot Springs.
The business in j. W. Pixies wood
working establishment has outgrown
its present quarters, and MIR. Pike has
purchased Of S. q. Fargo& Son a lot
37axl00 feet, lying west of Seth Gift
ford's residence, and will Immediately
erect thereon, a two story building 26x
40 feet, and will increase his facilities
for turning out work. We are glad
to note this evidence Of prosperity.
To 4 person acquainted in any way
with the art of bookkeeping, the fact
is apparent that Maj. Eaton is an ex.
c%sptionally good accountant. His rec
ords OF the county %tressurcrs Office
are perfect. There is a greatly variety
of funds and accounts in this Office,
but all are so well kept under their
several headings and departments
that at a glance, the exact condition Of
every fund and account be deter
mined. 1t has required no small
amount OF work aud care to bring the
books to their present state of perfec-
ton, where they will ~favorab'y conf.
pare with any set Of tr%easurer's books
in the state.
An amusing incident occurred last
evening at the school house. After Mr.
Harden had finished his speech an
opportunity was given TO any other
present to make any remarks they
wished. For a moment no n re-
eponded. Then an old man, who stood
near the door, whose hair was whitened
by the frosts, of many winters, in Q
voice trembling with age SAID: "Mr
President I would like to make q few
remarks" Permission being gwen
the old gentleman ~proceede in about
the following language: "Mr. Presi
don't, these political speech makers arr
apt to put things a little different from
what they are. l remember back ii
1882 when men were glad to chol
woodward wood-beach and maple
at 25 cents a cord. | have seen met
dig around on the ground for greens I,
keep their families from starving
that was under free trade. I hav,
never seen anything like that unde
protective tariff" At this point TIL
audience, that had been listening
with greatest attention gave the Of,
gentleman a good stirring round o
applause, which seemed to frigh,el
.. : -.
:, him, and he grabbed his hat and sho
:s.out OF the door, and although Mr.
Harden said he would like to have hin
back to hear his answers. the old mar
/. could not be found. 1t is needless Il
say that the old mans testimony car
ried with it more weight than all th,
specious arguments Of Mr. Harden
WHO the cid man vas or where b.
came. from nobody knew.
Pierre is q pretty good town, as !
evidenced by the liberal support sh,
gives her newspapers. You a tel
more about the prosperity and public
spirit Of a town in this way than an,
other. Pierre fills the bill tot dot
Chamberlain Tribune.
Apply the same test to Hot Spring
and you will discover that Hot Spring
is . arretty good town. If it were NO
FOR the literal support accorded us j
