account of the arrest of 5. NJ. Houyhton,
Of Hot Springs, for his connection with
the Guaranty Loan Company. Relating
to the arrest of Mr.. Houghton the Hot
Springs Herald says: 'Mr. H~oughton
had long expected to be called upon to
give evidence as to his knowledge of the
affairs of the company, and has certain.
ly not attempted to secrete himself in
any way, for he has been most promi.
nently Unidentified in business here at
Hot Springs during the past year. We
are informed that he has been placed
under $500 bonds, which if true is OF
itself evidence that he is not regarded
as strongly implicated in the embezzle

Under the supervision of Mr.. Mills,
chairman of the committee on grounds
and decorations, Pioneer Park is being
greatly improved in appearance. The
grand and band stands are being re-
modelled and renovated, new seats are
being constructed and the grounds
thoroughly cleaned up and made quite
~presentable and attractive. The site of
the park is one of the grandest in the
Hills for the purpose intended, being
located in the heart of a beautiful pine
grove which offers a wealth Of shade,
and a delightful view of Clusters sur
passing scenic surroundings. 1t is an
exceptionally cool and coy retreat
which is not surpassed in the Hills in
its pleasing and enjoyable features, and
if our judgment be not sadly at fault, no
less than two thousand people will bask
in its beauties, and revel in its sylvan
shade on the coming 4th Of July.

Now days we never hear a Custer
man say he is broke; he simply says |
have no coupons. The term coupons il
applied to a class of currency adopted
by certain business men, the issue of
which is not authorized by the govern
ment, has no cash reserve fund to back
it up, and is only redeemable in goods
at the counters Of those who issue it.
The circulation of this class Of currency
is being rapidly increased, and it is now
largely utilized in payment for labor,
and for all other purposes for which the
authorized currency is used. Public
sentiment is daily growing stronger
against the system, based upon the fact
Of its restricted purchasing power and
the well settled belief that it is injurious
to the town. Latterly there is being
evinced a strong tendency upon the
part of the people to refuse the accept
ance Of this peculiar medium of ex-
change, and it would not be surprising
II, in a short time. ii would he refused
by all except the few whose necessities
compelled them to accept it. 1t IL the
belief of a large majority Of u citizens,
that in order to advance the interests of
the town, the money flowing into the
place from outside sources, should be
given free local circulation.
