The Dakota Hot Springs.

The Hot Springs of Arkansas have
long been deservedly popular, for the
reason that there has been no other
place that has filled the require
ments of both health and a pleasure
resort. This state of affairs has changed.
The Hot Springs OF South Dakota have,
in recent years, been thrown open to
the people, and because of their delight
full situation and great curative qualities
are becoming more popular every day.
Situated as this resort Is, in the famous
Black Hills, in the midst of beautiful
mountain scenery, possessing that
peculiar balsamic atmosphere which is
in itself health-giving, with waters that
are pronounced by experts equal if not
superior to those of any other mineral
springs in the world, it will coon out
rank any other like resort. The hotel
accommodations are of the best-hos-
telries with all the modern improve
ments and conyeniences. The Evans
hotel, built of pink sandstone, with
steam heat, electric lights and every
room an outside one, is easily the best
conducted house between Chicago and
Denver. Fine bath houses are connect
ed with the best hotels. The rates OF
all the hotels are very reasonable.
The surrounding country is mora than
picturesque-it is wonderful. The
marvellous ''Wind Cave" the falls of
Fall River; Battle Mountain, the old
Indian battle ground; Deadwood and
the gold fields; and the famous Bad
Lands are all within driving distance.
The mammoth plunge bath at the
Springs is noted as being one OF the
largest natatoriums in the world. So
healthful are the surroundings, and so
many the conveniences of this "Carls-
bad of America" that it is rapidly be-
coming the "Mecca," not only for in
valids, but for pleasure seekers as well.
The Huntington Route" reaches there

The fair girl sat in her boudoir at her
ebony escretoire writing a letter. She
showed every sign of suppressed emo
ton, and her pen raced over the paper
as if it would win by dozen lengths.
She muttered to herself at times as if
her anger were too much for silence
and her face was flushed, as if she were
burning with fever. At last the
letter was finished and when she
had sealed it she slapped it down on
the desk with such force that the mag
nificent inkstand Of bronze and silver
fell to the floor with crash, shivered
into hundred fragments.
The girls mother in the room below
heard the noise and ran frightened into

AN EXPENSIVE CURL.
Origin of a Story Attributed to Twenty
Handsome Women.

Lady Harriet D'Orsay was really, &C
cording to MIR. Sala, in his reminis
cences published recently, the heroine
of a story which has been told in al
least twenty forms of twenty different
ladies of fashion. She was presiding
at a stall at a vente de charlie, OF
bazaar, held in aid of the fund of some
asylum or another, when there came
up the duke of Orleans, son and heir o;
King Louis Philippe. The duke, after
some polite small talk, began to extol
the beauty of her hair, and, indeed
her Henrietta Marie couture had never
looked glossier and softer than it did
this day
''Oh" said his royal highness, ''if
could only possess one OF those en-
chanting ringlets!''
''How much would monseigneur give
for one?" asked Lady Harriet, gravely
five thousand francs?"
Five thousand francs!" repeated the
duke; "a mere bagatelle."
six thousand francs?"
Anything SO charming lady chose
to ask"
81 will not be extortionate," pursued
Lady Harriet; 1--WE will say five thou
sand"
And then she very composedIy pro
duced a dainty little pair of scissors
shipped off the adorable Henrietta
Maria ringlet. wrapped it in silver
paper and handed it with dignity te
the duke. His royal highness looked
very straight down his nose, and, re
turning Lady Harrlet's salute, stalkeo
somewhat gloomily away. But hi:
privy purse duly forwarded the money
next day.-Philadelphia Press.

"Reminiscences of Oliver Wendell Holmes.
When Oliver Wendell Holmes was il
England in 1886 he found himself on one
occasion at a ''crush'' in London among
a great mass of people, including some
royal personages. He sat quietly in a cor
ner, but presently, feeling little faint,
and observing refreshments in the dis
lance, he turned to an elderly person
age standing near, whom he supposed
to be butler or something of that
kind, and asked for a harmless bever-
age. The supposed servant brought
this with great alacrity, and remarked:
81 am very glad to meet you, DR..
Holmes" The ''Autocrat of the Break
fast Table" was little taken aback, and
the stranger added: Il am Prince Chris
tian." Dear me-" said Holmes, alive at
once to the joke, 81 have not had much
acquaintance with princes, and, do you
know, l took you for waiter" At
this Prince Christian went off into a
burst of merriment "Where is my
wife," he said. 81 must tell her this.
She admires you immensely" Off went
Prince Christian to fetch the princess,
and the genial American philosopher
was soon the center of a circle of roy
atty, greatly delighted by the incident.

COSTLY ECONOMY.

Refusing to buy a rock cIusher for
the public roads is a present economy
that in the end will be most wasteful
extravaganza. The saving of the time
lost in hauling over III highways in
their present condition and the saving
OF the wear and tear of the farmers
vehicles in n year will pay for a first
class crusher. The damage which the
farmers of Washington County have
suffered on account of bad roads run
up into the hundred thousands and
would be amply sufficient to cover our
entire area with a network of turn.
pixies and purchase all the appliances
necessary to keep them in good repair
for a century. A community is penny
wise and pound foolish that does not
maintain a perfect system of public
highways In ancient times good roads
denoted, above all other national at
tainments the supreme grandeur and
majestic civilization of Rome, and so
in modern times good roads are to be
found only in civilized, Christian, am
bilious and flourishing communities.
Good roads are the enduring basis of
individual and national prosperity and
wealth, and there is no surer indication
of the worthlessness of a people and
their utter lack of spirit and enterprise
than the absence of them.
This may be strong language, but il
is amply justified by observation and
history.
Now is the time to strike for road i'm
p%rovements. The county is in splendid
condition financially, and the overbur.
dened tax payers would like to see some
show of the money extorted from them
by the expressions of the law.

Murray near Jopesboro, April IS, 1857,

Murray near JoDesboro, April IS, 1857,
united with the Jonesboro Baptist
Church June s, 1878 and was married
to Mr.. Pritchett June 90, 1881. Mrs.
Pritchett leaves n husband, six chill
dren, a mother and two brothers, three
sisters and a host of friends to mourn
her loss.
The funeral services were held in the
Baptist Church of this place August
1895, conducted by her pastor assisted
by Rev. Mr.. Hixon and attened by n very
large number OF relatives and friends.
Mrs. Pritchett was well known and
much loved by the people in and about
Jonesboro. Her rare devotion to her
home and her children was one Of the
marked features of her character. Few
mothers lavish as freely of their time
and strength upon their children and
their home as did Mrs. Pritchett and
on this account she will be all the more
sadly missed there. In the n~eighbor
hood where she lived, she was known
for her kindness and thoughtfulness,
no one was more ready to help in cases
of sickness and distress than she; such
a woman can but be missed by the
community in which she lived.
The Jews of Mrs. Pritchett's death
will come with much sadness to the
friends of her youth and of other days,
for she was of such n genial, friendly
disposition that all her schoolmates
and friends from her childhood learned
TO love her.
Sheriff Pritcheet has the tender SYM
tathy Of his many friends in J~onesboro
and in Washington County, where he
is so deservedly popular and many a
prayer will be offered on his behalf in
this the hour of his bereavement. T.

THE editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, who is both the discoverer of
the Money Devil and the father of the
Star eyed Goddess of Reform, inten-
tionally admits that the record of the
Democratic party from 1861 to 1896 is
the history of one blunder following
another in almost unbroken succession
and that it needs q new set of leaders
with the courage of their convictions,
not noisy zealots drunk upon the YER
bosity of their rhetoric. The fact that
in his cooler moments Col. Watterson
never allows his love of the picturesque
to lead him astray from the duty of
telling the truth, in his own peculiar
