About this time every year the at- tention of the red blooded people of Little Rock and vicinity turns to base ball. There are many more who would think about the great national game if their condition was such that they took an interest in anything.
 It is almost a sure symptom, when q man cares nothing for baseball, that there is something wrong with him, and he needs a doctor I am the doc tor who can put him in shape to enjoy the opening game of the season, if any body can. 1 can pull out the kinks and straighten the ailments with which you have been suffering, and send you on your way rejoicing.

 At nearly every house you will find two or more dogs, and they are need ed, for in most sections I visited on this trip bobcats and wolves are very plentiful. I saw very little game. Near Maumelle I saw two big wild ducks and two big covies of quail, but everybody was talking of and telling how big the fish were that they had caught. The fish are biting there is no doubt about that, for I helped eat some of them. There are many creeks in this country, and Big Maumells is like river now, but I am told that in the summer time it gets so low that it only flows beneath the gravel at the shoals.

 Miss Jessie Fox of Little Rock is teaching the school and is well liked by the childen. She has consented to act as correspondent for the Pulas- kian. J. L. Johnson is running saw mill here. He is a fine mill man, but as his timber is giving out, un less someone in Pulaski county can furnish him with the timber, he is going to farming, for he says he can not leave this county.
 The road from Roland to Maumelle postoffice runs west, with the Big Maumelle to the south and a range of mountains to the north. Nearly all the settlers live on this road and have their mail brought out from Roland by the star route carrier. They have just sent in a petition for a rural route.
 The Maumelle community is the most prosperous I have visited, judg- ing by the new houses and other new improvements. Maumelle has one store, owned by J. B. Stowers, start ed September 15; two churches, Bap- tist and Methodist; school, black smith shop, two saw mills, literary and community club, the latter just organized and very enthusiastic about securing a fine exhibit for the county fairs With their rich land and great variety of soils, other communities will have to look to their laurels or the first prize will be won by Mau- melle
 There is no town Several empty store buildings show of past efforts to establish a center for some two miles up and down the creek, but a mum, Der of new improvements now going up assures a good business commu- nity at once.
 Ny first vie wof Maumelle showed such broad stream that after my second view, showing the same broad river, I asked if it was a river, but was informed it was only a creek with number of big pools.
 One of the largest farms, the Her rick farm, 180 acres, has just been purchased by Prof Geo. R. Hopkins, principal of the Peabody school. He will build fine home on it.
 Another large farm belongs to the Holiday estate. It is beautifully lo- eated on both sides of the Maumelle, and the family lives right on the north bank, where a broad half mile pool gives it the appearance of river. Ye scribe spent the night there, had fish for supper and the best of country ham for breakfast. Young Miss Linnie Holiday has ac- cepted the position of associate editor and will keep our readers informed of the local events.
