DR.. Cloonan has located among US
once more. Since he left us be has
tried Warrensburg, Barnsyille, Will
| Evansville. and the Lord only knows
| how many other burgs and viiles. All
of which goes to prove that Annapolis
is the only place worth living In. Be-
ing over-worked every where else, the

cuperate, drink from the fountain of
perpetual youth Jour famous medical

Will McGlothlin. and d. S. Baker
went to Des Arc on bicycles yesterday.
Baker and Carl made the trip in 40
minutes. but Ed, who is only about
twelve years of age. and small OF his
age, and has only had his wheel few
days, was in my opinion, champion of
the trip. He made it in one hour and
ten minutes.

Your correspondent and all Of the
little s.Cruxes," together with Mr.. E.
P. Benson and family. took an outing
yesterday. Mr.. Benson furnished the
rigs and ..Crux" furnished the major
part of the passengers, and we went
TO Mr.. Renson's farm on Crane Pond
Creek. We'll. We had a jolly good
time. MIR. B. robbed beehive and
straw berries? We ate them till
they did not taste good. Mr.. Benson
has beautiful place there. but owing to
the dry weather the crops will all be
short this year. He has just completed
a new cellar -Whieh is an excellent
piece of workmanship, and was built
by Mr.. Lewis. 1t Is about Sx12, and
built in the form of an arch, having a
two-foot wall. After the lunch was
all over. Mr.. Benson and | took a
stroll down 10 tho Shut-In below his
farm, where the creek is crowded in
between two granite bluffs that rise
more than two hundred feet on each
side. This narrow canyon is three or
four hundred yards in length, and the
crock falls about seVsnty-fye feet in
passing through It. Owing to the
long continued drouth, there was but
little water, and thereby l am satisfied
that missed one of the greatest sights
of life time. The creek bed is strewn
with bo1lders oil all slxes aaa shapes,
worn smooth by the action OF water.
In descending through the canyon the
journey was made by continually
| springing from one rock to another,
now crossing TO tho risEt and then to
the left, as either seemed TO afford the
surest footing. Methinks l can hear
the roar of the waters as they leap
from rock to rock through this narrow
gorge, and a lover OF Wild and hssuti-
full scenery could spend hours of delight
there.
Lovers of law and order all over the
county have reason to rejoice over the
appointment of VIM. r. Edgar to the
position OF Prosecuting Attorney.
The Administration seems to oe
bending all its energies to the mainte-
nance Of the gold standard. and the ap-
tparent relish with which Sec'y Carlisle
eats crow furnishes a queer parody on
j American craftsmanship. 1t seems u
little strange to see giant intellects like
that of Carlisle playing second fiddle
to Grover Cleveland. But the fact
that the arguments used by him are a
