They had been accustomed to having
porches to sit on; therefore, a temporary
porch was contrfved for each car. The
connecting platforms were Improved, the
pipe lines were so arranged as not to force
themselves upon the notice yet with all this

DAY there arrived q consignment of table
iinen and set of silver tableware, and the
dining room took on the aspects of the
higher civilization. Next smoking was

curtains and draperies went up to justify
the new law. Presently there arrived

arrived, and there was a library in one end.
Having gone thus far, the wives and
daughters and sisters of the officials an

did The five parts of the house migratory
became: First, drawing room; second,
married quarters; third, bachelor quarters;
fourth dining room, and fifth, kitchen.
Moving Day Was Easy.
Moving day had no terrors for their kind
of housekeeping. This was fortunate, as
they moved every ten days or fortnight.
All that was to be done was to collect the
hammocks and chairs from outside, haul
in the detachable porches and platforms,
order up locomotive and proceed. AL
ways they made it a point to stop within
pipe reach of good water. Sometimes they
shot squirrels from the roof of the
house or bagged an occasional par
fridge from the parlor window, and 1t
was seldom that they couldn't get trout
and bass within walking distance Vege-
table supply was not quite simple a
matter, and the most ordinary groceries
often meant miles of travel. But there
was generally a locomotive within call,
and whoever happened to be running the
household affairs at the time could send
for the engineer and give orders for the
Gay.

Gridgeville and try to get a. barrel of po-

Daily existence under such circumstances
was a sort of picnic, but if any special pic
mic was on hand they took the home right
along, instead of having to leave home to
reach the scene of festivities. The popula-

At the outset simplicity was the keynote.
Doors were cut in the ends of the cars,

DAVID NATION DIVORCED.
Is Legally Separated from the
Kansas "Joint Smasher."

Kansas City, Nov. 27.-David
Nation was to-day granted di-
vorce from his wife, Mrs. Carrie
Nation, the '.joint smasher." :" The
court exonerated Mrs. Nation
from the charge of cruelty to her
husband and divided the property.
In reply to a question of the
court, Mrs. Nation said that one
reason she fought the proceedings
was that she wished to continue
to share the pension money drawn
by her husband. Mr.. Nation, in
support of his petition for divorce.
cited a letter from his wife, in
which she had denounced him as
a .hell-bound hypocrite." He
charged that she did not attend
to his wants.
Judge Gillett granted the di-
vorce on the grounds of gross
neglect of duty. When Mrs.
Nation first started out on her
career of joint smashing a year
ago, Mr.. Nation seemed to be in
sympathy with her raidss But
when she spent all of her time
away from home, crusading or
serving sentences in Jail for de-
stroying property, he went to the
home of his daughter, in Indiana,
and lived. He was Mrs. Nations
second husband and is nearly 20
years of age. The couple lived
together for many years.

MASSMEETINc
A Large Crowd Assembled, but
Little Accomplished.

hS previously ahiooheNo
massmeeting of persons opposed
to the payment of the 5-mill tax,
voted to the Arkansas Southern
Railroad Company over three
years ago, took place at the Court
House Saturday. The house was
packed to overflowing, but more
seemed to be present out of
curiosity than for anything else.
G. James was elected
chairman of the meeting, Pete
Smith, secretary, j. I. Payne.
assistant secretary, and j. j.
Dickerson, treasurer.
After the organization Mr.. Nj.
T.. Johnston, of ward eight,
representing the Louisiana &
Arkansas railroad, made a talk.
He said the Louisiana & Arkansas
railroad people would join the
resident taxpayers in a suit to
annul the tax and would foot
their share of the expense of such
a suit. Mr.. A. j. Franks, police
member of the eighth ward, also
made a speech. He said in case
suit was instituted some person
or persons would have to begin
the suit and in case of defeat
would be required to pay costs
of the proceeding as well as to
reimburse the Arkansas Southern
Co. for any expense it might have
been put to in defending. its
interests. But he is willing to
become a party to the suit, letting
the consequences take care of
themselves"
After being assured that several
persons would enter the suit to
annul the tax the meeting began
discussing some plan of pro-
ceedure. Attorneys are needed
and propositions from Scar
borough & Carver and Col. w.
III. Jack, all of Natchitoches, were
presented, Scarborough & Carver
proposing to take the case for an
amount equal to one-half of the
amount the 5-mill tax would
amount to, while Col. Jack pro-
posed to take the case and win it
for $1,000 or lose and get nothing.
At this juncture the question as
to where the money is to come
from to pay the attorney arose
and various plans were suggested.
Finally j. j. Dickerson introduced
a motion that all taxpayers pro-
ceed to pay the 5-mill tax, under
protest, and that the money thus
paid into the sheriff's hands be,
on the successful termination of
the suit, turned over to the at
torney's managing the suit. This
motion was carried unanimously.
Then a motion prevailed author
izing the chair to appoint a COM
mittee of FIVE who shall confer
with and employ attorneys to file1
suit at once to declare the 5-mill
tax voted in favor of the Arkan
sas Southern Railroad Co. in
1898, null and void.
After this the meeting adjourned
sine die.

IN A GARDEN.

Some Late Paintings and Their Out
cOme-CeIery, Radishes and Beans.
After the early peas were picked and
the potatoes dug the land on which
they were grown was cleared of vines,
plowed with a one horse pillow and pull
verified by means of the narrow tooth
cultivator and a one horse planker. 1t
was then planted to late crops, as fol-
lows: One-half row celery, one and
one-half rows turnips, one-half row
winter radish, One-quarter row spinach
and One-quarter row lettuce. This was
on July %. On the same day string
beans were planted in the space pre-
viously occupied by the early planting
of the same crop. This half row was
not replowed. The old vines were sim
ply hoed off and the ground hOed over.
A few cucumbers for pickles were also
planted in the vacant spaces among
the early cucumbers.
For the celery furrow was opened
with the one horse plow. and the plants,
which had been grown in a seed bed,
were set in the bottom of the furrow.
A few days after the plants were set
a heavy rain washed the dirt into the
furrow and nearly buried them. The
earth had to be loosened around each
plant by means of a knife. Not many
days later another heavy rain necessi-
tated a repetition of the operation. AS
the celery grew the furroW was gradu-
q l1Ir G1lo1 Inv of thp o11ltiV otOr
and hoe. When the plants were about
foot high they were handled" and
earthed up for blanching. The stalks
of each plant were drawn close togeth-
er and held with one hand while earth
was packed about the base of the plant
with the other hand. Then earth was
drawn up to the plant with a hoe until
only the tops of the leaves were left
exposed. Two weeks later it was nee
essary to again bank up the plants,
since they had grown considerably in
that time. 1t was then past the mid
die of October, and no further banking
was necessary to blanch the stalks,
The spinach and lettuce planted July
% failed to grow. The turnips did well
until about the LIST of September, when
the hot weather caused the leaves to
turn yellow at the tips and finally die.
The crop was almost an entire failure,
A few peas planted Aug IS on the
land previously occupied by early cab
bage made a very dwarf but healthy
growth and produced a small crop ear
| ly in October.
Of the late planted vegetables the
celery, winter radishes, beans and GU
cumbers produced satisfactory crops
so that, although some of the crops
failed, the late planting as whole was
not improbable.
