The Pulaskian., 1919-07-11

Forest Park we found that nice shower had fallen The night berors and laid the dust. We passed through Little Maumelle Station and on to the home of MT. Jno. H. Ives. For the first time I realized what a danger. GUS thing it was to ride with doc tor to visit his patients, though have done so frequently in the past. What made me realize the danger was hearing the doctor say, "Oh, no, it's not smallpox, only chicken pox, hut this discharged soldier sure had a bad case of them and was broken out all over. He is Fred Ives. who has been home from Camp Pike for about two months. MT. Ives farms Arkansas river valley land, but lives in the edge of the upland. where ne has few pine and other native trees. Mrs. Ives has the prettiesr yard I have ever seen in a long time. The walks are bordered with violefs Of the most luxuriant growth. There were a few old-fashioned bright red hollyhocks and many other kinds of flowers, including roses in bloom At one corner of the porch is growing the finest wistaria vine I ever saw. It is trained all the way along the top of the porch and around 1t MT. Ives said if they had not kept 1t cnf back it would have been seventy-five yards long by now. On the pyell house is most luxuriant honey suckle vine accompanied by thrifty cypress vine with it's beautiful scarlet flowers.
 Flying around the flowers were pair of the least birds I ever saw ex- cepting humming birds. They were of the color of the dark canary birds.
 When the doctor got through with his patient, Mrs. Ives invited us into dinner. We had splendid dinne~. When Mrs. Ives found out who I WAS she said had she known I was com ing she would have had a chicken dinner.
 Mrs. Ives had just received a let ter from her daughter at Dardanelle, who wrote that blackberries were

The Pulaskian., 1919-07-11

Pulaski Heights is in Little Rock and so Is Forest Park. Notwithstand- ing that, though, both places are nice for rambling in and the Pod man was received with just as hearty welcome as he receives in the country. In fact both sections are much like my fayorite mountain country and there is enough open and uninhabited woods to enable person when he gets tired of town life to walk a block and be in the heart of wild wood.
 One day last week rambled out to the country club then to one of the Pulaskian's charter subscribers, Mrs. w. c. w. Gum. I was threatened there by pretty little dog with which I formed an acquaintance two years ago. She was wary of me be- cause she had two very pretty pups, nearly as large as herself and was afraid might carry them off
 Mrs. Gum is a fine little lady and as we entered the house her youngest son introduced himself to me in 2 way peculiar to young sons of only one month of age. He is fine, large handsome boy for his age too.
 Mrs. Gum closed our interview by directing me to a neighbor. who was anxious to take The Pulaskian. That is something all our subscribers should do. Mrs. M. l.. Forbes was the neighbor. She not only subscrib- ed for The Pulaskian, but presented me with nice lot of Belle of Georgia peaches. She has probably the nic- est little peach orchard in little Rock Her trees are so arranged that about three trees will ripen at time commencing in May and con tinuing until October. She not only has peaches for her own use, but she has plenty to sell Her trees are on ly four years old. It is surprising how many peaches and other stuff can be sold off of small patch of ground in the city
 Then 1 met up with Dr. G. D. Thompson of Forest Park, who invit- ed me to ride out into the country with him. I accepted and just beyond
