JE. HICKS.

MT. Hicks does a general furnishing business. He has been in business in England five years. He now occu- pies large brick building, and the business done by him is among the largest of it's kind in this section, amounting to more hanforty thous- and dollars last year. This year he expects his business to exceed that of last year by one-third at least. Mir. Hicks is also one among the largest planters of this section.
 Personally MT. Hicks is one of those pleasant, social gentlemen whom one loves to meet, and who not only looks on the bright side of everything with which he Is connect ed, but helps to build bright side to every thing with which he has to do; and anyone wishing to know more of this section of country than is embodied in this write-up will find in him a reliable authority.
 EAGLE X DAUGHTRY.
 The above firm is new one in England, having been in business about one year. They carry gem eral line and do furnishing busi- ness. Their business last year was satisfactory in every way. Out of eighty accounts they lost one. They have enlarged their store-room, and erected large warehouse on Il side track of the railroad built especially for their benefit, which enables them to carry q fifteen thousand dollar stock. They have just received the first car load of meat ever shipped to the town.
 Their farming interest is n great support to their business. One of the three farms they own comprises 2300 acres. HOO of which are in culti- vation. This is one of the finest farms in the State, and for several years, until this year, had been leas- ed by the Arkansas penitentiary. This year the farm has been improv- ed, new tenant buildings have been erected, and the land Is being work ed by free labor.
 Eagle x Daughtry take mortgages, but give none. They are in splendid shape, and are preparing for a large business this year.

terprising business men was attract ed, large mercantile houses which were to do general furnishing busi- ness were established, and the town received such an impetus as soon placed it in line with the most pro gressive of the small towns of the State. 1t continued to grow in pop ulation and enterprise, untilno town of it's size in South Arkansas today has brighter and more prosperous future. It's present population num- bers nearly one thousand people, and 1t can be safely asserted that within the next eighteen months this number will be augmented to two thousand, There are now thirteen business houses in the town, which do all aggregated business of nearly two hundred thou. and dollars. There is not J vacant house-either business or resldence--in the town, and new buildings are constantly in course of erection. The demand for homes is so great that in some in stances two and three families are compelled to occupy one house, and a number of families occupy the rear part of store buildings.

ENGLAND PUBLIC SCHOOL.

England public sthool is keeping pace with the rapid growth of the town and the development of the surrounding country. A fge-mill tax is voted every year, and this supplemented by private enterprise, enables the school board to employ three teachers and maintain an eight month B school each year.
 The school is fairly well graded, there being nine grades; three in the primary room; two in the intermedi- ate and four in the principals room.
 The principal ". F. Condray, was born in Ripley, Lauderdale county, Tennessee, December 2S, 1866, and is now 31 years old.

ENGLAND DISTRICT.

What is known as the England district, or Rich Woods. comprises one of the finest farming sections in the State. This district, from which the town draws it's trade, extends in some directions twenty miles from town, embracing a part of what was once the Lonoke district. Here it is. in this district, the wealth of soil rivals that of the Nile. Here one can stand and view as far as the eye can reach continuous body offarms the average yield of which, when the seasons are favorable, is from twelve to fifteen hundred pounds of seed cotton, and from forty to fifty bush els Of corn, per acre. Cotton, though, is the principal product. And to furnish an idea of the immense yield of the fieeey staple in this section, the town, this season, has handled more than ten thousand bales. Reliable authorities say that eight hundred or a thousand bales more will have been handled when the season is over. Near the town are the two State convict farms, one a mile and q half west and the other two miles east of the town, and these institutions have stored sever al hundred bales of cotton which are yet to be placed upon the market.
 The farms in this district are well improved, with nice comfortable tenant houses, and other necessary conveniences. The lands rent for four and five dollars an acre. And in most instances the water is good, and health better than in most low land sections. A person with alittle capital and enterprise can make farming pay here.

with gratitude and the fever stricken

with gratitude and the fever stricken
patients removed to the tent hos
ptsl on the hill, are more than
grateful for the change, which has
enabled them to regain health and
strength. A representative OF The
INDEPENDENT visited the hospital
camp this morning aud was shown
around the premises by Sergeant
Hogan, who has charge OF the place
as hospital steward. The complaints
from the neighbors are apparently
wholly groundless. Mr.. Hogan has
everything in tip top shape, and the
"a patients in his care are improv-
ing hourly in health. The latrins
are kept in proper order, and plenty
of disiufectants are used. A strong
breeze is blowing all the time, but
the sick men consider it refreshing
and beneficial. The tents used for
cooking, eating and sleeping pur-
poses are scrupulously clean, and
the food served is Of the very best
quality. There is no healthier spot
on this island, and it would have
been a blessing to the soldiers If
the military hospital had been erect
ed there in the first place, instead OF
on the low grounds on King street.

JUNKETING TRIPS.

In the days of the Hawaiian Mon
archy, the men who revolted in 1893
were the greatest howlers whenever
a Government official was sent
abroad or even to the other islands
on business connected with the
Government aud in the interest OF
the people. Since the Dole repub-
lie was established a change has
come over the dreams Of the So
called "reformers," and trip abroad
at the expense of the taxpayers has
been considered legitimate per-
quiste OF every high official.

TOPICS OF The DAY.

Tourists, hack drivers aud Others
are constantly complaining, because
no bitchng posts have been placed
near the entrance to the Nuuanu
Pail. People who are visiting the
great natural Panorama are unable
to leave their carriages, because
there are no suitable and safe places
where horses can be hitched. We
think the Government might spare
few dollars and erect a dozen
hitching posts near the entrance to
the big Pail, or il the Government is
too poor at least permit the livery
stables to do so.

Nursery Rhymes.

The following "poetry" has been
composed and recited at one OF our
kindergartens by a member of the
numerous Smith family:
They say of all the masses,
or high military asses
In the volunteer corps

The greatest were raised" in petro-
leum grasses.
There once was pompous old colo
mel,
Who for cleanness didn't care an

And to show his chagrin,
Just shot off his chin,
And raised OF all "s,inks" the most
Internal.

There are numerous other officials
who have "junketed" at public ex-

1t seems rather small OF the
authorities to arrest few men who
are charged with selling foreign
goods without a license. A young
Hawaiian employed in an uptown
dry goods store went down to the
transport Valencia yesterday with
two dozen OF towels ordered by one
or two soldiers to be delivered @. o.
D. The purchasers could not be
found and the young fellow pro-
ceeded to return to his employer
with the towels. Other soldiers
stopped him asked the price of the
goods and bought the towels at the
price which the original purchasers
had agreed to pay. In the eyes Of
the law the young salesman may be
wrong, but we think it would have
shown good discretion on the part
of the official upholders Of the law
to have shut their eyes and let the
soldiers have the much needed
towels.

The Mckinley Club OF Hilo is by
no means dead as insinuated by a
contemporary. A few weeks ago
that powerful, political association
wrote letter to the Government
demanding that Colonel Little be
appointed Circuit Judge for Hawaii
in the place of e. g. Hitchcock, de.
ceased, and threatening dire ven
geance, if the demand OF the club
was not attended to. The club
wrote on behalf Of the citizens Of
Hawaii, and an impression was
abroad for moment, that all the
big men OF the big island we're
members OF the the Mckinley Club
and endorsing its candidate for the
iudgeship. Other organizations and
other citizens wrote to the Executive
in very different strains, and the re-
suit was that The judgeship was
given to Mr. G, X. Wilder, the most
popular and suitable candidate for
the office. The Mckinley Club, we
are told, received communication
from the Attorney General, in which
thanks were extended for their
solicitude in behalf OF Cabinet APP
pointments, but telling the in
huential club that the Government
could not see by what right the
club pretended to represent Hawaii.
And the band played on.

Gas for Our NeighbOrs.

Both the cities of Jefferson and Fort
Atkinson have granted franchises to
three Chicago parties for the construc-
tion and operation of gas plants. The.
jefferson franchise calls for its accept
ance within sixty days and the depos-
iting of an $4,000 bond guaranteeing
construction of the works. The parties
propose to furnish gas for lighting
and fuel at 81 per thousand cubic
feet, a proposition which no local
capitalists dared to venture on. 1t is
believed that one gas factory to supply
both cities will be erected midway
between the cities on the Chicago &
Northwestern railway, and thus ex-
pense of construction and operation
saved. On account of the low rate
for gas offered, it is thought by some
of our neighboring citizens that the
project will fall through.

S. t. Zickert, who claims this city

forgery, having passed a check on
William Haecke, of that city, for
$9.31, with the alleged forged sigma
ture of Becker & Sabin, of Rosendale,
in whose employ Zickert had lately
been. Another check with the same
signature, for $13.41, was found on

for forgery at Portage few years
