 l found all my friends and relatives in very prosperous condition. We first visited MT. Browns family, con- sisting of Mir. and Mrs Brown, three daughters and a son. We next visited the family of W: c. Wright, son.in- law of Mr. Brown. We found him to be very kind snd genial gentleman. We were treated to a fine dinner and were nicely entertained, MT. Wright had the misfortune of having his barn and all it's contents burned short time before we were there. Ills loss consisted of about 500 bushels of wheat, 400 bushels of corn and some 200 bush el of oats, but iu an other granery be had about $500 worth of wheat left. We next visited Ambrose Brown, son of Mir. w. J. Brown. We found them very pleasant people. There was steam thresher at work on his farm, which WAS quite curiosity to Arkan- sas people. His wheat crop made about 23 hundred bushels. From this Mir. B. and myself in one buggy, Mrs. B. and my wife in an other, we went to visit the great health resort of that country, Thero are seven springs in the space of seven feet, and each spring has different tasting water. A great many people go there for their haalth and to take advantage of the fine vapor baths that are given in the cowmodious bath house. A single bath costs 75c. Our next visIt was at W A. Jenkins, an other son-in-law. We were highly entertained and after partaking of fine dinner, we took a stroll through strip of timber and took 2 look at the old Arkansas river.

ACTING Commissioner of Patents Greedy, who conducted and bore an enormous and important part in the investigation that resulted in the late reforms in the U. s. Patent office, is now considering complaints against a number of alledged patent lawyers whose swindllng speciality is to get money from inventors under the pretense of procuring and selling their foreign patents, when these attorneys know that valid foreign patents cannot be obtained, and when they know that they have neither credit, means nor ability to sell such patents. MT. Greely is determined to break up this method of robb1ng inventors. May he succeed.

Mr.. W. r. Bundick. temperance lee
turer and chairman Of the State Commit

list tabernacle last night
His subject was. Look not lhou
TTpon the Wine When 1t is Red.
He smoke OF the temperance cause as
Gods cause and as one that could not
fau TO appeal To the mind Of every honest
and impartial thinker.
His Illustration of the sorrow and dis
fress resulting from dissipation was
strong and forcible. He bespoke brlsht
future for the temperance cause ana sald
that everywhere II was gaining strength
and followers.

of the Prohibition party in the state yet

speaks along any line that is not In tho-
roughly legitimate 10 be employed IN the
sanctuary. Il is true that he desires the
success OF the Prohibitionists as a means
looking towards the accomplishment OF
a desired end yet Mr. Bundick none the
less lays stress on the moral suason ar
gument and is particularly effective IN
his consideration OF the temperance ques-
ton from peculiarly religious and moral
standpoint
He has for six weeks been speaking
throughout large section Of the state,
and has had large and enthusiastic audi
ences snd bears with him the highest writ
ten testimonials OF prominent clergymen OF
different denominations The churches
have been thrown open 10 him with cor

tho Christian conscience.
Nj. Bundick goes hence 10 his home AT
Onancock for needed rest and after
little recuperation he will resume his ac-
tive field work. in which capacity he has
made a brilliant record.
When asked as to what were the pros
poets OF his party placing candidates In
the field this fall he said that no action
had been taken as yet looking towards
the calling of a convention To nominate
candidates. and at present he was not
prepared TO say what would be done In
that direction.
II can say. however" said he. that
the temperance sentiment is rapidly In
creasing In all parts OF the State that
have visited and should the party have
candidates I'm the field | feel free 20 pre-
diet that the vote for them will be twice
as large as that cast in any previous cleo
