Nevada County picayune. (Prescott, Nev. County, Ark.) 1885-1???, 1891-04-30

President and Vice President in 1892.
Parsons Edwards and Fincher held
services at Mt. Moriah and Rosston
Sunday.
Like she has always done before,
Nevada county will take the lead
again this year, in the production of
watermelons.
DR.. Will Warren, of this place,
who has of late been attending the
Louisville Medical School, will return
home to his constituents in few
days, where he is much needed.
Our postmaster says that while he
feels that he has been sighted, yet
he deems it not necessary to become
offended at his Excellency, Benja-
min Harrison, for not coming out to
see him while on his Western tour.
| have been informed lately by
several farmer friends that their or
chards contain an enormous amount
of fruit, and as sugar is on the free
list, we will have strawberries served
at our May picnics, and peach pie at
our Fourth of July celebrations, this
year.
Esq. Jno. L Hurst informed me
lately that he was candidate for an
office, but not the kind that requires
an aspirant to go around and eat
chicken pie with his friends, and
worry with them about their vote,
but one in which one individual
could elect with the SIMPLE word
yes.
AS was on my way to Mt. Mort
alb last Friday, found that several
families along the road were thor
oughly vigilant and aroused over the
suspicious actions of worthless fell
low, as they thought, who, when
passing by houses on the highway
refused to speak but always kept an
eve on the horse lot and chicken
roost. And as most of the men
folks were in the field at work the
women became uneasy and began to
make preparations to receive the
man whom they thought to be a
worthless rogue. And after locking
their fears stricken children up in the
back rooms, and turning their biting
dogs loose, began to gather up such
weapons of war as women are accus-
toned to using, such as hatchets,
battling boards and broom sticks,
and were soon in readiness to attack
the stranger should he attempt to
make raid on their chicken house
or any part of the premises. But
happily, however, they were all bad
ly mistaken, as Mr.. S., prominent
citizen Of Mt. Moriah met and had
an interview with the stranger. Their
conversation was as follows:
Mr.. s.: Hello, Stranger y
Stran. "Hello!"
Mr.. s.: "What is your name -
Stran. "Bill Jones"
Mr.. s.: "Where are you from y
Jones: "From Texas, sir"
Mr.. S.: "How did you come from
Texas"
Jones: Il rode mule part Of the
way, an OK part, and walked the bal
ance, and have been walking ever
since"
Mr.. s.: GLOW old are you?"
Jones: al yrs. mos. 3 hrs. 20
min. III sec.
Mr.. S: "Where do you livc!"
Jones: "I'm living in Arkansas
now. -
And Mr.. $. questioned him little
further and found him to be de-
feated Union Labor Politician, from
one of our Eastern counties, who
went to Texas IN the hope of getting
away from his best friends, the
Democrats, but finding Texas full of
the same kind of men he left-de-
cided to return to Arkansas and make
that his future home. And as he had
a look about him that resembled
King George III. in his old age, it
aroused suspicion among the people.
But the women and children were
soon notified of their mistake, and
were soon changed from fear to sor-
row. They felt that they owed the
poor fellow an apology for having
such thoughts-there being nothing
more harmless in Nevada county in
this day and time than a Union La
bor politician. SroT Me- THE IL.
