TIE NASHVILLE MAY COME
Secretary Ed Russell sparing No
 Efforts to Have the Boat Come.

It is most likely that the gunboat Nashville, which has the honor of firing the first shot in the late war, will visit Pine Bluff.
 Little Rock and Pine Bluff Com mercial Leagues are doing all in their power to have the vessel come up the Arkansas river as far as Lit tie Rock.
 Tuesday, Secretary Ed Russell wired Secretary of Navy, Long, ask ing him to permit the gunboat to visit Pine Bluff. Secretary Long wired back as follows:
 "Commanding officer of the Nash vile has it in his discretion to visit Pine Bluff. Would advise that you communicate with him at Vicks- burg"
 Mr. Russell then sent the follow. telegram to Capt Maynard: "Commanding officer of Nashville.
 There is ample water in the Ar kansas river for navigation of the Nashville. In the name of the Com mercial League and twenty thous- and citizens of this city, we ask that you visit us. You will be most cor dially received"
 Up to the hour of gong to press, Mr. Russell had not received an an swer from Capt Maynard. but in all probability he will respond.

 Baptist Church Tuesday Night.

Tuesday night a negro woman created quite a scene in the Baptist church on West Sixth ayeaue. While Rev. Daniel was delivering a sermon to the large congregation that had assembled, the woman en- tered. She ran up to the pulpitand began to give out her views on the present state of affairs in regard to religion, etc. She said God had sent her there to tell the "white folks" what was going to happen. Her little spiel was soon inter rupt- ed by Rev. Daniel, who made her keep quiet. She broke out afresh and she could not be eased unta the patrol was summoned and carried Der away.

The public is probably aware that
nearly all goods are advancing, every
thing that we have TO buy now, each
time we make purchase we have to
pay more for the same articles.
Friedman don't believe in that kind
of humbugs, there is no necessity in the
advance Of prices of manufactured
goods, for the raw material has not adj
vanced in proportion, The advance in
the prices OF goods by the wholesalers is
a fake dodge on the retailers TO unload
their old stock at an advanced price. By
the time the retailers are well stocked,
by spring, goods will drop about 20 per
cent ormore, so those who carry up full
stock now, will be compelled to pay an ex-
tortian of 20 per cent now and the one
who will open new business in the
spring will save from 20 to 40 per cent.
Friedman's New Racket are on to them
and will therefore stop buying and go to
selling.
We hit uibhiHb luii oaiUibN
ments to 90 East in the spring
for an entire new stock. Our
store is full OF goods, bought at extreme
ly low prices, except few muslins and
calico, which we lately purchased, we

WHY SIDEWALKS ARE BLOCKED
A Salem rirm Eneroaehing Upon the
Rights Of Pedestrians.

A Salem FIRM Encroaching Upon the
Rights Of Pedestrians.
IL is not the intention Of this paper TO
oppose the actions OF merchants doing
business on the principal streets of the
city but a word for the pedestrian
might not come amiss. Qnite number
of the merchants use the sidewalks in
front OF their stores for stacking up great
piles Of merchandise. In some lines,
such as furniture, which is bulky. but
little room is left for the pedestrian 10
pass. For instance; when Buren, &
Hamilton are getting in a shipment Of
goods, and that occurs almost every day,
the sidewalk looks a very much like
Front street in Portland, and people
sometimes have to edge their way past
the store.
This paper does not blame them for
doing all the business they can, in fact
II is proud to have such firm in our
city. They have built up an immense
business, and have a stock which is a
credit TO Salem. They claim that the
alley in the rear Of their store is in no
shape TO drive into with loaded wagon,
and to handle the amount of goods
they do that it is necessary 10 run them
in and out over the sidewalk. The
JOURNAL does not wish to have them
quit or to diminish the amount of their
business, even II they do blockade the
sidewalks This firm brings lots Of
money TO Salem, even from other towns
where, they are daily shipping big bills
of furniture. II is hoped that no more
complaints on this subject will be given
