While standing OH the top of Lookout

hack to the memories Of dear old Bill
Nye, for we had stood upon the same
spot some Years ago. and 4 guide told us
that We could see seven states from that
point of view, namely, Tennessee, Viz
ginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South
Carolina. Georgia and Alabama.
"Where's North Carolina?" I'VE in

The man pointed to u place in the
morrison to which distance gave q
purple hue. r..
"What makes yon think that is North
Carolinap" Nye asked. 81.
"Oh, we know by the direction and
the conformation of the mountains
there" the man replied.

times. and it fades little leaving it
pink. No, sir; YOU can't stuff me. The

Nye said those things so seriously
that the man WAS almost dazed. lie
gave Nye puzzled look and then went
on pointing out other sister states in

The New Stage Line.

From the Eureka Springs Times. Echo of last Saturday We clip the following concerning the propos- ed new stage line:
 U. W. Hill returned today from his tour of eastern points, stopping at Sl. Louis long enough to have d conference with Bryan Snyder, of the Frisco, concerning the ar rangement to put on a fast stage line eastward from this place.
 AS result of tbe conference, MT. Hill has agreed to put the line in operation immediately and it will run from Eureka Springs via Harrison to YeIIyiIle, instead of stopping at Harrison, as was first intended.
 MT. Hill will go over the line at once, and expects to have the stage running next week. The Frisco will take up the advertising feat ure, and will sell tick cts to all points in the mineral belt, stage conveyance included"
