THE PICNIC.
Royal A flair, Wf isa Ktsd, Given as nvu~s scheoi House-Hixly kajsysd by all
 Who Attended

There was a picnic given last Satur. day al Evans school house by the pu. plls of Prof. Denison, who taught that school in the years of 1885 6, and pei. naps for a longer period. He stood high m tlie community, and under his man. agemant the school WAS elevated, and WAS considered one of the best schools m Eastern Arkansas xt that time, and It was in honor of him and his pupils that the picnic was given.
 A basket dinner was served on the grounds, and consisted Of everything that was good and wholesome, the most delicate and fastidious taste was satisfied, and everyone ate with rel- ish that brought to mind the old ad. age "the proof of the pudding is the eating thereof" We arrived to late for the spread, but found well-filled basket which had somehow been over- looked, to which we did ample justice.
 The beautiful and spacious grove which surrounds the school house WAS filled with beautiful young ladies. with their handsome Qallants, some sitting under shade of trees, others stroll ing here and there, all seeming to be thoroughly enjoying the society of the other. The effects of Cupid's thrilling darts could be seen on the blooming cheeks of many of the young ladies as they smiled up into the faces of thelr galIants.
 The school building has teen newly painted, new fence has been erected around it, which is white washed, there IS newly constructed lattice room over the cistern, the yard has been thoroughly cleaned up, the flowers all trimmed, and worked out, the lovely harbOr of h0neysuckle rebuilt. and the creeping vines and beautiful flowers blooming and running, every where fill- ing the yard with delicate fragrance, which together with the bright newness of everything makes the spot veritable Eden.
 Many of Prof. DenisOn'S old pupils are now the leading men and women of that community, they may be found in all the various offices of life, some are scattered abroad, while a greater number remain near the dear old place of their childhood. A gOodly number were present at the picnic given in his honor, and it was s0uEiDspiring to listen to their old school experience and see the pleasnre it afforded them to talk over the happy days spent at the beloved spot, calling back sweet memories that are forgotten in the everyday strife for our daily bread. It WAS good to be with them in this sweet communion of friendship, and we feel the better for our going

Same Old Gang.

At the county convention of the third party at the court house Tuesday, their speakers. were loaded with all sorts of incongruities. which they laid at the door of the two old parties; and especially did they direct their epithets of abuse, with their Benedict Arnold tongues, at the democratic darty, which they have de- serted. Their opposition to law and order was especially make manifest by the bait of delusion thrown out to the cOlOred man In which they assured him of the repeal of the poll tax qualification act which makes him voter, and gives him equality before the law, and also the repeal of the Australian ballot system. They claimed to have | peculiar liking for the negro and wished to impress 1t upon them, that they were the Moses who could lead them out of the wilderness of the present in- dustrial depression, when tt Is an estab- lished fact that the colored man never has received anything at their hands except notices to ''mOvc out or be burned out. v
 They claim they would sweep every thing before them In the election, and capture three-fOurths of the cOlOred votes, just as they claimed the other week to march on Little Rock with 20, 1000 strong, and as their brother in the cause. Coxey. was to march on Washington with 5OO,- 900, in the former case they piled up a measly 400 at Little Rock. and the latter some 5000 or 5000 at Washington-a good ly portion of whom found their way to the station house.
 Such is the crowd that aspire to ride into power in this county on the back of the negro.
 The following is the ticket:
 For representative, William Manning; for county and probate judge. w. H. Coffcy; for sheriff, ]. D. Mcknight; for clerk, A. c. Word; for treasurer, J. F. Jones; for assessor. W. H. Aldridge; for coroner. J. w. Pate; for surveyor, I G Harris.

 A petition, signed by j.. A. Jones ana 56 other taxpayers, to divide school District No. IA, was presented in due form, and the prayer granted. The di- vlsion will be made as follows: Com. mencing on the south line of township } north. range east, at corner sections 34 and 35 running north one mile to the county road, thence west one-h half mile with said road thence north to township line." The new district will be known as as No. 3S.
 Settlements of Sheriff w. E. Williams and Treasurer J. w. Aven were filed and approved.
 County warrants amounting to S2O,- O2O.5l were cancelled.
 In the matter of the railroad bonds outstanding, amounting to $50, 1000, and which are past due, the court thought It to the financial interest of the cOun- ty to issue new 20.year bonds drawing 6 per cent interest per annum, and made an order to that effect, the new bonds to be dated August l, 1894, and one months interest on the old bonds to be paid out of the Railroad bond fund now on hand. Julius Lesser, who by the way owns most of these bonds, was made the agent of the county to fund the old bonds with the new for which service, including the lithograph- ing, printing, sale and exchange of said bonds. he is to receive one per- centum. or $500, to be paid only when the whole amount of S30,O0O ill bonds shall have been funded.
 The interest on these bonds is $500 per annum.
