ORDINANCE PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AT
 ITS LAST MEETING
Providing Sidewalks in the Residence Part of
 the City.

At the meeting of the counci last Thursday evening, the ordi- nance providing for sidewalks, to be put down of concrete by the property owners was read the third time and passed.
 It provides for improved side walks on West Main street from Wm. Gees residence to West Front street and from Greeson's residence on East Main to East Front street; on West Walnut street from Hitchcock s residence to West Front street; and from the Baptist church to East Front street on East Walnut; on Elm street from West Third street to J. s. Regan's residence. West Third street from the Ozan Mill to Walnut street; West Second street from Elm to Hunter Scott's residence; East Second street from Mrs. Christopher's resi- dence to Walnut street; East Third street about three blocks; East Front street from Elm to Munson's residence; West Front street from Mat Denman's resi- dence to Mack Williamson's res idence.
 The sidewalks are to be four feet wide, and are to be put down in six months. Upon failure of the property owner to build and pay for the sidewalks the charge for same becomes a lien oH the property.
 If this work is properly done and there is no defective work or graft, and if the price is reas- enable, it will be a good invest ment.
 There is no denying the fact that Prescott is badly in need of sidewalks, and it seems, judging the future by the past, that the only way we will ever have them is for the property owners to, make them and pay for them.
 Our taxes have been to the limit, and up-to-date the town seems to have had none or the benefit of it.

Summer Didrrhoed in Children.

During the hot weather of the sum- mer months the first unnatural loose ness of chsld's bowels should have immediate attention, so as to check the disease before it becomes serious. All that is necessary is a few doses of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Dia- rrhoea Remedy followed by dose of castor oil to cleanse the system. Rev. M. O. Stockland, Pastor of Little Falls Minn., writes: "We have used Cham berlain's Colic Cholera and Dirrhoea Remedy for several years and find it a very valuable remedy, especially for summer disorders in children.

COMMUNICATION.

Dear Picayune-The writer has been all over the county within the last few days soliciting stock takers for the company that has bought the Picayune. do not think I ever saw brighter pros poets and richer rewards prom ised to the farmers for their toll | in the way of crops than is in this county. Nevada will have hog and hominy and to spare, next year, old fields being farms in Antibelum days have luXuriant crops. They, in some places, present the appearance of Red River farms. For instance of this, 1 will sight you. The first place where 1 stopped was at P Norman's; one of the biggest hearted farmers in the county. It was wash-day with his wife but this did not interfere with a sumptous dinner of which we par took in wholesale quantities. P is a farmer by nature and proffes- sion. You will be convinced of this by looking at his fine grow lng crops. He will make if noth- lng happens, at least, a bale of cotton per acre and 40 or 50 bush els of corn. From here we went to Eugene Normon's who has a hne crop on old land. He uses the White Diamond fertilizer, an Arkansas product, of which the writer has sold about 45 tons. This will certainly prove a prof Ptable investment to all who have bought it. Eugene expects to make two bales per acre, and it looks now like he will makeit.
 From here we went to w. J. lhompSon's, another good far ner and found him, with w. E. segan, getting some kind of blocks in the Carouse bottom. They both helped us in the ob-
 ect of our trip; so we drove on fcross the Carouse to Charlie looks, in whose ear we sang cur ong, Charlie is one of Emmet ownship's best farmers and cit zens. use to pick cotton with pharlle; he picks it yet and he nay Of thought 1 was trying to plck him which I did finally, get lng him to take stock in the Picayune.

There were. however. two stocks that
caused a ripple of excitement which re-
iieved the tedium of an otherwise ex-

shares of Washington Savings Bank. at

bank was taken over by the new own

understood was paid for the controlling
interest. For some time after the sale
the bid was advanced. but lately II has

transac ION today was somewhat unex-
pected. The statement OF its condi-
ton is very gratifying and gives every
prospect Of future Improvement.
It is now almost two years since the
movement began in the stocks Of the
Washington Railway COMPANY which
carried the preferred up 30 95 in the
spring OF lS.5- For several months past
there has been a continued LIQUIDATION
OF this stock. with a consequent cTlm-
bling away OF prices that finally regis
tered today a loss OF 10 points from the
top figure in April OF last year. The
theory Is advanced that the selling.
which began with large interests iri

Inc last sale OF STOCK EXchange

sale was at SS90CO.
New high records were made this
week on two stocks. Baltimore and Ohio
reaching 1888, while Michigan Centra!
sold up TO lS5.
a member of a prominent house with
Philadelphia connections has offered TO
bet 5000 against $4,000 that the divi-
dends of Norfolk and Western. Chesa-
peake and Ohio. and Southern Pacific
would be increased OF declared at the
next respective dividend periods of those
companies.
According to report of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. the value
of the exports OF meats and meat prod
ucts from the United States in the
eleven months ended with May aggre-
than in the corresponding period OF any
other year and an increase of co per
cent compared with the corresponding
period Of 1886.
There is reason to believe that insur-
ance companies have been liquidating
their holdings in Pennsylvania and Bal
nmOre and Ohio during the past few
days. which partially accounts for the
weakness Of the one and the check to
the other.
The declaration of the 3 per cent semi
annual dividend by the Louisville and
Nashville calls for disbursement Of
81 -S00,O00- If the rate had been increased
as IL was quite persistently rumored In
the Street some weeks ago that II
would be. 10 per cent per annum. the
annual disbursement would have been
increased by $500. 600.
Participations are being taken in bank
Ing circles to a syndicate calling fO-
$4,000. 600. 1t is known as the Cumber-
land Corporation
II is understood that this is the cor
poration which is TO take over and
operate the large coal tracts belong
ing TO the Clinchfield Corporation. The
South and Western railroad. which con-
neCted with the Seaboard Air Line is
also understood TO he controlled by the
new syndicate.
The proposed listing OF Sc. $50. 600 bonds
by the St. Paul is believed in certain
quarters 10 mean that the Immediate
needs Of the company for its Pacific
coast extension are TO be supplied by
the sale OF these bonds. This would
explain the failure of the company to
announce the lOng-eXpected plan for the
financing Of the extension. It is suK-
gested that the sale of these bonds
would supply funds to carry on this
work for some time as over S25 coo ono
of these bonds are available for exten-
sions.
