autumn hike. They are great
lovers of pedestrian feasts and
this was a ten-mile stunt for them
to record on their logbook. After
visiting the Blowing Spring here
they liked on the return as far as
Jasper where they boarded a train
for the Metropolis of the Valley,
adding four more miles to their
trip. They frequently take these
pedestrian trips but this was the
longest one they have taken. On
their arrival in South Pittsburg,
it is reported here, the price of
arnica and liniments was advan-
ced at all the drug stores. Miss
Haskew is a daughter of S. H.
Haskew. the well-known lumber
man of South Pittsburg, and is a
graduate of Centenary College.
Both she and her companion are

Of all the sights, | might say
disgusting sights one ever saw,

four p. m. to closing time there
were lines of people gathered all
around the saloons just like a
crowd at the ticket wagon of a
circus show, pushing and trying
to get in to get their farewell
drink or bottle. Fights and al
most riots occurred all over the
saloon district. Altogether there
was more drunkenness than |

were nearly four hundred dollars
in fines assessed against the Of
