STREET FAIR A FAKE.

4 big mistake was made in allow Ing the so called street fair to stop in Batesville. Such outfits are degrad- ing to any community. No one could take turn through the grounds on this fair? without being impressed with the fact that it was made up of exhibitions such as should not be al lowed in any self-respecting com munity While it is humiliating to be taunted by our neighbors for letting such disreputable concerns stop with in our gates, yet it will result in good to the town. It will be remembered that Batesville has not had very much to do with such affairs, but now that we are soon to be placed on a great trunk line of railroad there will no doubt be many opportunities to enter tain all kind of fakes, and the exper fence thus early in our new growth will serve to put check on all dis reputable concerns which may knock at our door for admittance.

ROCK ISLAND PLANS.
New Survey to be Made North From Jacksonport to St. Louis Esti- mated Cost of Lines From Jacksonport and Belle to
 Arkansas Line.

1 While nothing new has been given out lately by the officials of the Rock Island system regarding the building of the line from Belle to West Plains and on to Newport, it may be inter- esting to know the other branch lines contemplated by that rapidly growing system in this section, says the Spring field Leader Democrat.
 When the survey was made of the Belle branch last month the southern connection to Newport was made at Jacksonport, Ark, on the White X Black River Valley railroad. This road is Rock Island property, through the purchase of the Choctaw line, which owned this branch. Jackson port is the northern terminus of this line, which extends sixty miles north from Brinkley.
 Itis now reported that new sur vey is to be made of this branch line north from Jacksonport. Instead of going in northwesterly direction up Strawberry creek, as Engineer Rams dell did, the new survey will continue up Black river to Black Rock, and then in the direction of Doniphan and Poplar Bluff It is thought that the su1Mey will be continued nor0hward to St. Louis.
 l Should the Rock Island conclude to build this Iast-named line there will be no need of constructing the Belle branch. For some time it has been known that the Rock Island intended making a survey east of here with a view of comparing the line with the route from Belle to Newport, and se- lecting the one most suitable and fea- sible.
 The cost of building the line from Belle to the Arkansas line via West Plains was estimated by Captain ClsRk, who made the survey, at S9, ,50C a mile. Engineer Ramsdell, who came u Strawberry creek from Jackson pFet and connected with the survey 10 de by Captain Clark, estimated tfc cs t of building his end of the line st SI6,0OO mile.

MAD DOG SCARE

Augusta, Ark, Nov. 2s. Auusta and vicinity is greatly excited over depredations of mad dogs. Some week or so since Miss Bessie Lun narrowly escaped being bitten while on the streets by rabid dog. The dog was killed just as it attacked her. A hog and chicken that the dog bit went mad and had to be killed. Last Friday MT. Wheeler, who lives just east of Augusta on the Carl Lee place, noticed his dog was acting strangely and went to fasten him up when the dog snapped his little son in the face, but only slightly abrased the skin. However, the child was taken to doctor, who thought the injury was not dangerous. The dog made his escape, bit number of cattle and hogs belonging to Judge Carl Lee, at tackled two negro women south of town and committed other depreda tions. The town has ordered all dogs killed found upon the streets without tags.

ARKANSAS NORTHERN ROUTE.

O. T. Burns, promising young at torney of Black Rock, was here Fri day afternoon on business and left that night for Little Rock. Mir Burns is interested in what is known as the "Arkansas Northernn railroad, which will probably be incorporated in the near future. The line will be extend ed from Pocahontas to Black Rock, there crossing Black river on the new Frisco bridge, running down the west bank of that river to a point near its mouth, to Jacksonport, thence to Newport.
 The town of Black Rock in order to secure an extension of the Frisco from Pocahontas secured right of way for such 8 route and now an effort will be made to buy up the right way from Black Rock to Newport as soon as a line can be surveyed.
 With this completed, the Frisco could probably be induced to under take the construction of the road. Even without such backing, MT. Burns is confident that enough capital eau be enlisted to construct and main tine the line as an independent road and that the resources of the country, through which it would pass, could be relied upon to make it dividend de- claring investment.

Joke on the Norttherner.

An Illinois Grand Army man who
attended, the recent national encamp-
ment in Washington tells this story
on himself: He and some other vet
Grams were over in Virginia visiting
some battlefelds of the civil war.
While driving in the country they met
a native and the Illinois comrade jok-
ingly said: 'Hey, old man, haven't
seen you since 1861" The countryman
reined up, looked over the party and
answered, quietly: "You are right,
sab. I haven't set eyes on you since
you lit out from Bull Run" The joke
was distinctly on the northern vet
eran, for, as matter of fact, he
actually was at Bull Run. He &C.
knowledged the corn laughingly, and
there was a fraterna1 reunion on the
spot, blue and gray drinking out of
the same Observation-Disclosures tSar.

AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.
Woman Wouldn't Give Him
Dry Bread.

An artist who was making sketching
tour through picturesque region of Con.
necticut CHANGED one day on barn so al.
Turing to his eye that he sat down on q
stone wall and went to work at once, relates
an exchange.
He soon became conscious that he had
two interested spectators in the persons Of
the farmer and his wife, who had come to
the door of the house to watch him.
The artist by and by discovered that he
had lost or mislaid his rubber eraser, and,
as he wished to correct slight error in the
sketch he went up to the door and asked
the farmers wife if he might have small
piece of dry bread. This as every artist
knows, makes good eraser.
The farmers wife looked at him with an
expression of pity not unmixed with sur.
prise.
"Dry bread!" she repeated. "Well, !
guess you won't have to put up with any
dry bread from me, young man. You come
tight into the kitchen with me and I'll
ter on it,"
.'Now don't say word" she continued,
raising her hand to warn off his expostula-
lions. II don't care how you came to this
state, nor anything about it; all know is
you're hungry, and that's enough for me.
YOU shall have good dinner"

THE MERRY HEART.

When you come to q wearlsome bit of the
v Where the stones are thick ard the path
Is steep.
And the back is bowed with the heft Of the
load,
AS the narrowing way is hard to keep.
Don't stop just then for q wasteful sigh,
But challenge the worst with steadfast
cheer:
II nowhere else. there is help on high
Gods angel will hasten, your pioneer.
When you reach lonesome bit Of the
road.
Curtained about with mist and murk,
And you hear faint sounds from the dread
above.
Where shivering, grim hObgobHns' Turk,
Just laugh to scorn their doleful cries
This is the place to whistle and sing;
Brush the fog from your fearless eyes,
AnG close to the faith of your fathers
cling.
When you stand at sorrowful bit OF the
road,
And hand you loved has loosed its clasp;
When streams are dry that in sweetness
flowed,
And flowers drop from your listless
grasp;
r en- now take heart for further on
There are hope and JOY and the dawn Of
day;
You shall find again what you thought
was gone;
IT'S the merry heart goes all the way.

ONLY ONE INsyHE WORLD.
Double-Barreled Cannon In Athens.
Ga, That Was Made to De.
mOlhsh Yankees.

"The only double7barreled cannon
in the world" said a member Of one of
the Georgia posts, sis at Athens, in my
state, and it has history; serious
and a funny one, too. 1t appears that
during the days when the north and
south were peppering away at
each other a man named Gille-
land, in Athens, concluded he would
make a cannon which would simply
wipe out the whole Yankee army at
one swell sw,oop, or words to that eff
feet. Gilleland went to work at the
foundry and in the course. of few
weeks he announced that he had conn
pleted regular Yankee demolisher.

A REGULAR YANKEE DEMOLISHER
The cannon was brought out and it
was a double-barreled affair and his
proposition was to attach a stout
chain to the cannon balls and let both
barrels be fired at the same time,
which would make the chain sweep
along and take everything which lay
in it's path. He said he knew he could
wipe out an entire regiment with one
shot-or double shetland it was ar
ranged to take the cannon out on the
hills near Rock College and give it q
trial. The time for trial was an
nounced and about half the popula-
ton of the city and county was on
hand to see the performance, and a
performance it proved to be. Tho
thing was loaded and the fuse put in
readiness and touched off.
swell, to make long story short,
the double performance didn't take
place, for only one barrel got action,
while the other remained firm. The
heavy ball shot out, carrying the
chain, and it cavorted around over the
pine thicket on the hillside, tearing
up saplings by the roots and blowing
into the red earth until it looked like
a regular Georgia cyclone had come
that way, and finally, when tired Of
this, the ball and chain came rounding
back to the cannon, the ball striking
Mr.. Gilleland on the arm and SILVER
ing it to pieces, while the hundreds
of people scattered pell NELL out OF
the way of the unruly and death-deal-
ing thing.
"That performance settled it. The
thing had not done the work its in
ventor thought it would. In fact, it
had done exactly opposite, and it wa
brought back into the city and stored
away, with the hope that if the YAM
KEGS did take the town they would
nail it and kill out some of their own
people. l understand that the ball
and chain attachment was never tried
again, but the old thing was used
thousands of times to celebrate
Christmas and elections. The patriot
ic people of Athens had the old death-
dealer amounted and placed near the
confederate monument on one OF the
main avenues, and there it has re"
manned ever since.'
