Origin of "Grass Widow.

The expression "grass widow" has
been varlousIy explained. 1t Is
said It's original form was "grace
widow" courteous term applied to
an unmarried woman who was a
mother During the middle ages
tie church had the only authority to
grant divorce and divorced wo.
man was called "viduaet gratia,' a
widow by the grace of favor of the
s.a5es s.l say TAs s,rJaaRissIy RaRfs have ~gEas>
widow. These terms are applied to
women living apart from their hus-
bands. In England the term is apS
piled to an unmarried woman who
has a child. In the United States
it is said by some to date from lS49
when men going to the California
gold mines used to send their fami'
lies in the country boarding places,
thus practically turning them out to
grass as horses are turned out when
they are not needed at once. Elk.

Arkansas shonld have as many
cotton mills as Georgia, Alabama or
North Carolina. The cotton grows
here Just as we'll as those states,
One of the successful methods of es.
tablishlng textile plants IN these
states is by the lnstallment plar. In
Montgomery, Alas for instance,
there is company now building a
large cotton mill. The capital stock
is $2Oo,OOO, all of which is owned by
residents of that city. The shares
are $50 each, payable 20 per cent IN
cash and the balance in payment OF
So per share per month. The plan
has succeeded in several towns IN
G 0 gla. Alabama and North Car
DINA, and no doubt the enterprise in
Montgomery will prove successful.
At any rate the mil is in course OF
construction and there has not beer
a single default in the payment 81
subscriptions to the capital stock
A similar plan might easily be es'
tablished in this state. The expert
ment IS worth trying, Arkansas

"Buying goods on credit is to a
great extent a habit" remarked a
we'll known business man the other
evening IN discussing the credit
system. If people could not Obtain
credit they would find some means
Of paying cash. The best proof OF
this is found in the case of railroads
travelling. People know that II
they do not pay cash for their tickets
they cannot travel. Why should It
be more Of q hardship to pay cash
for dry goods aud groceries than t9 V
pay cash for railroad tlcketsE All
that is necessary to begin cash pay
ing is to lay low for a few weeks
and catch up. People who hny
goods on creadlt are led into purch'
ah,ng goods that they can get along
without. In this way they keep on
mortgaging their future Ib'
money earned today goes to pay Tot
the purchase yesterday, while tb'

We clip this curious love letter

published years and wears ago:
Madam, Most worthy of esti-
nation! After long consideration,
and much meditation, on the great
reputation you possess in the nation,
| have a strong inclination to be-
come your relation. On your ap-
probation of this declaration, | shall
make preparation to remove my
situation to q more convenient sltu-
alton, to profess my admiration; and
if such oblanon is worthy of obser.
walton, and can obtain commisera-
ton, 1t will be an aggrandzatlon

and exultation, of yours,
JOHN lNFATUATIoN.
Srr,-I perused your Grafton with
much deliberation, and a little con
sternatlon at the great lnfatuatlon
of your imagination, to shew such
veneration on so slight foundation.
But after examination and much
serious contemplation, | supposed
your animation was the fruit of
recreation, or had sprung from
ostentation, to display your educa-
ton by an odd enumeration, or
rather multiplication, of words of
the same termination, though OF
great variation in each respective
signfcation. Now, without dlspu-
tation, your laborious application IN
so tedious an occupation, deserves
commemoration, and thinking inn
ltation a sufficient qualification, |
am, without hesitation, yours,
