saved in the Pulaskian office, and the writer
will be giving himself at the time, some
good training.

BILLYGOAT HILL.

l am now taking the privilege of
writing faint description of "Billy
Goat HILL" as | am now resident of
that place. We have purchased us a
neat little home of 100 acres of land
situated on or near the center of an
elliptic plain formed by nature on the
apex of mountain, on the west
stretching away to the north it COM
mands view of ridges for many
miles, and brings under the eye one
of the boldest and most beautiful
horizons in the world. While on the
east it presents an extent of prospect
bounded only by the spherical form
of earth in which nature seems to
sleep in eternal repose as if to form
one of her finest contrasts with the
rude and rolling grandeur of the
west, and scattered to the north are
several detached mountains which
contribute to animate and diversity
this enchanting landscape.
While looking upward to the open
and vaulted heavens, which we seem
to approach as if to keep us con-
tinually in mind of our high respon-
sibility. When we first moved here
it was grand to behold the tripping
silver stream lay still and cold in
winters icy clasp, and the flowers
tainted beneath its chilly breath, and
the leafless trees stretched out their
imploring arms and shook off i'm
patiently their snowy burden. Even
then it was sunshine in the little
brown house on the hill. tbs here we
tear off that mask of guarded and
suspicious coldness which the world
forces US to wear in self-defense, and
where we pour out the unreserved
communication of full and confiding
hearts, where, expressions. of tender
ness .gush out without any sensation
of .awkwardness or fear of ridicule.
We can hear the ''hoot' of the owl,
and the "caw" of the crow, and we
are anxiously waiting to hear the cry

FERNDALE.

Greetings to PulaSklan readers.
Did you all think Ferndale was dead
Well not quite, though we have had
the ''flue" the grip and the blues,
and several other things.
When the proposed improvements
to our Twelfth street pike and Ft.
Smith road are completed, which our
county judge assures US will be soon
now, we will have just the distance
and beautiful for city people to have
their country homes, and we have
the pure water and mountain air, the
fishing streams, the hunting woods,
the wild blackbeTries, grapes and
plums. Our cows live on the range
nine months in the year with pigs,
chickens, good orchards and gardens
we defy old high cost of living, we
also have one of the healthiest loca-
tions in the country.
j. r. Fletcher of Little Rock has
discovered these advantages. He
bought the Lee place from Mr..
Protho, and is trimming it up to look
like a park. He will have charge of
the swimming hole at foot of Chest
nut mountain and says he will make
it safe to visit this summer.
Geo. Prothro has a crew of hands
working the roads this week. Next
week he will begin inspection of the
dipping watts, and proceed to get rid
of the ticks this year. This is another
step toward the good of our country
We noticed in the Pulaskian of
February % issue a notice from the
Y. M. C. A. association that they
were intending to spend 100000 on
the boys of Arkansas this year and
strange to relate were going to put
part of it out for the advantage of
the country boy. Now it will be in
teresting to watch them do this-and
better still to cooperate with them,
letting them know just what our
boys need and when and where we
need assistance.
The frequent rains have kept our
spring blowing behind, but most of
us are through planting oats and are
breaking corn land. Early gardens
are started, and other preparations
are being made to gamble on crop.
We are stalking all our capital and
labor for the next four months
aaginst the weather man. If we don't
have another drought like last year
we will come up smiling with enough
to live on next winter and some to
spare for our city neighbors.
We had long interesting letter
last week from W. C. Cotton of
Florida. formerly. of North Point.
He says they are all well and like
Florida fine.
Lieut.. E. w. Prothro of the A. E..
