Vs the ARGUS has the best and at the same time the largest corp of regular weekly cor respondents of any weekly paper in Arkansas.
 The First Annual Outing on Friday last, was arranged by the Editor with a view to show his apprecia tion of the splendid work of these cor. respondents for the AR GUS, and at the same time to bet. ter acquaint them with each other and the magnificent country and people of East. ern Arkansas and Helena.
 Leaving here in charge of Conductor Smale, we picked up and badged recruits until we arrived Pine City, where we boarded Conductor Ken. dall's train on the Main Line of that splendid road, the Arkansas Midland. The "re- cruiting' continued until we reached Poplar Grove, when at that time the party num- bered 21.
 Arriving at Helena at 9:3O, we proceeded at once to our headquarters, previously ar- ranged, at the Hotel Nonpa. reil. From this place we pro- ceeded to ''do" the city, as- sisted by an accommodating reception committee of Hel. esnaites.
 Tie big stores of Selig, Bruen s G., H. 8. Hornor & Co.,, Leiber Bros, 4nd the Helena World office and tho Federal building were visit. ed, after which we were treated to a carriage ride over the city, conducted by Maj. Horror, Dr. ShinauH. The string of stylish CT |riages filled with wearQrs ef the y d1ow badge, attracted mo ittle attention. Stopping lat the Ridge City Club, by special invitation. the party was shown the oourtesies of that splendid and magnifi- cent institution in a happy manner by those splendid gentlemen and clever enter tainers, Messrs H. 5. Hornor and w. P. Nelson.
 The banquet at Hotel Non- pareil at 12 o'clock is nicely described by MT. Neal, of tho World, The menu as fur nished by MT. P. J. Serio, manager of the Nonpareil Cafe, was complete in every particular and the large pat ronage given this popular hotel shows that the clever proprietor, MT. F. M. Owen, could not have found a more competent man to take charge of the culinary de. partment.
 The steamboat ride to Glendale, Miss, on board the Maude, Capt Zerah Oldham, was another chamring feature of the trip. Capt. o. is spo. ken of as being a self-made 
 man; was born in Helena; is liked best by those who know him best; is owner of the Ferry & Transfer Co.,, with with a fleet of three good steamboats, doing a general transfer, towing and job work business on the Missis- sippi.

 Ridge City Club rooms and the office of the Helena World, and afterwards -.epairod to the Hotel Nonparell, where MT. Folsom had arranged for a fine dinner. Twen- ty-tive oI thirty guests were seated at the table, and an elegant string
 band discoursed sweet music dur ing the meal hour. At the close
 of this important function, Mir.
 Folsom called on Rev. John H.
 Dye for a few words and that gentleman responded in very happy manner, complimenting
 MT. Folsom upon his enterprise in taking his correspondents from their homes and showing them these graceful courtesles. MT. Folsom responded in a pleasant little speech, and called on Major Hornor, who was especially hap py in the few words he said.
 Major Horror said he was the oldest man in the party and had
 lived in Arkansas longer than any of them, and this was the first time, to his knowledge, newspa- per had the enterprise to inaugu- rate correspondents excursion. MT. Folsom was one of the young est editors in the state and his en- terprise was commendable. He hoped the example would be far reaching in good effects. MT. Fol som again respon ded, voicing his appreciation of the compliments paid him by the speakers. He said he was not in the same class with his friend, brother Neal, of the Helena World, who publishsd a metropolitan journal, and could not be expected to compete with him, but was glad his efforts to excel in the publication of a coun- try weekly were considered wor- thy of the kind words spoken.

Sound Teeth and Body Only to Be Had
by It's Frequent Use.

Sound Teeth and Body Only to Be Had
by It's Frequent Use.
It is but a little thing, yet on its
proper use depends much of the happi-
ness Of modern man. Why civilized
teeth should be SO rotten is q question
which has often been debated, and prob
ably the true answe is more complex
than some would think. Many good
mothers are content to put all toothache
down to lollipops, but that sugar III it.
self is not responsible for bad teeth is
proved by the splendid "iyories" often
possessed by negroes who practically
live upon the sugar can and thrive
upon it, too, during the whole Of the
season when it is in maturity. Dental
decay is common enough, however,
among negroes in towns, and it seems
clear that the carries of the teeth which
is so common among most civilized
races is due not to any particular article
of diet SO much a to digestive and nu-
tritive changes imposed upon US by our
mode of life and to some extent by the
fact that by hook or crook we do m
how manage to live, Notwithstanding
our bad teeth, whereas in a state of ma
ture the toothless man soon dies.
Recognizing, then, that until the time
arrives when some great social reformer
either mends Or ends our present social
conditions our teeth will tend to rot,
and that, whatever the predisposing
causes, the final act in the production of
carries is the lodgment Of microbes on
and around the teeth, we see that for
long to come the toothbrush will be q
necessity if the health is to be main
tanned. 1t is only by the frequent use Of
this little instrument that those minute
accommodations can be removed which
are at the root of so much mischief. A
few elementary lessons in bacteriology
would, we fancy, greatly startle many
people and certainly would show them
the futility Of trusting to one scrub q
day. The fact is that if people, instead
Of looking at the toothbrush from an
aesthetic point of view and %scrubbing
away with tooth powders (D to make
their front teeth white. would regard
it merely as an aid to cleanliness, they
would see that the time to use it is aft
er meals and at night, not just in the
morning only, when the debris is left
from the day before has been ferment-
ing and brewing acid all night through.
They would also see how inefficient an
instrument the common toothbrush is
unless it is used with considerable judg-
ment. One Of the secondary advantages
OF spending a good deal Of money ON
dentistry is that as least one learns the
value of ones teeth. By the time We
have got them dotted over with gold
stoppings and gold crowns we learn to
take care of them. even although that
may involve the trouble Of cleaning
them more than once a day and using
perhaps more than one brush for the
purpose. Hospital.

Naming the Baby.

She was a young mother, and it was
her first. 1t was the prestiest, the most
intelligent-in fact, there never was
such an infant. So she thought it should
have a name which would distinguish
it from all others. After a great deal of
thinking she announced her decision.
Papa" she said to the happy father,
''I have thought Of a name for the baby.
We will call her Imogen."
Papa was a matter Of fact man, who
knew there was nothing in that baby
different from most others, and he didn't
wish to see his child saddied with a
name that wouldn't ft in with other
circumstances.
Fancy her marrying q man named
Shocks, he thought. .sImogen Shocks
will sound nice, won't it? But il I say
30 she'll begin to cry and will insist
upon it."
After q little reflection he thought Of

dear!' be cried. "It was my first sweet

ment, and it will always remind me.
