 In a conversation with NJ. Russell yesterday he said.
 Alter .eaying Waakesha. which Is a very popular Summer Resort. especi- ally for SoQtherners. we arrived at Chicago, and found Mrs. Russell. Lu- cile Russell and Miss Euna May Polk. of Memphis, Tenn. awaiting us at the Chicago leach Hotel. which IS also a very popular place for South ern people. Being on Lake Michigan. and on a good beach, our stay there was a!delightful one. Capt. Becker took all Of the party on a spin over the city and through the parks. There We saw one of the greatest base ball games of the season, between Boston and Chicago. of the American league. The Chicago team allowed their opponents no hits and no runs. Fully twenty thousand people saw the game. To give your readers some idea of the immensity of Chicago. will say that State street, one Of the main business throughfares. Is Thirty Miles long in itself quite a drive to get into the heart Of the city. Saw d number of fine shows. and left early Monday morning. Aug 2sth. Mrs. russell and the girls went to Lake side, Mich. where Mrs. Roleson and family are summering 4 After leay- ing Chicago our first stop was at Jo- ilet, ILL, where we called to see MT J. F. Wolfe brother and family. They were much surprised to see us, and could hardly believe that we came all the way from Arkansas. as they put it, in machine. We found good roads all through Illinois, fine fields Of corn and other crops, fine hogs, sheep and beautiful farm houses, all handsomely painted and looking good. Most of the roads we travelled in that state had the weeds cut from along the route. We passed through the towns of Dwight, Pontiac Chenoa, Lexington, Towanda and others. stopping for the night at Blooming ten, a beautiful city withfne hotels and opera house. We left the next morn. ing for St. Louis, passing through good towns, such as Litchfield. Mt. Olive, Edwardsvill, Marysyille, etc. reaching St. Louis in time for dinner. There we met humber of old friends. rode around the city, and saw fine play, 'The Third Degree at the American Theatre; shipped our ma chine to Memphis by boat, and from Memphis went 10 Helena, Marianna, and home, having had fine trip. We covered l600miles of country road. and about 500 through the various cities and parks. With a good road from Forrest City 10 Memphis, we could have saved going 90 miles out of the way. our trip Was success beyond our greatest expectations. and each and al improved in health and appe- tie every day Me were away. With a good load To Memphis We would have hundred, ef autos passing thru here ta Little Rock and Hot Springs. the latter beiug a great resort for Chicago people
 Mr Russell was especially entHus- iastic upon this latter point and is greatly interested in having this road 10 Memphis put into first class shape. because, as he says. 1t will bring hun- dreds of people through here. and will be great advertisement of this sec. tion, and of incalculable benefit
 They have been cordially welcomed. and are glad to be at home again.
 MT Russell left the party at St. Louis, In answer to telegramS and telephone messages from his firm. and came to Forrest City Monday, re join- ing the party al Memphis. and mak- Ing the home run, via Helena, Ma rianna. etc.
