The Pulaskian., 1920-12-16

Monday and Tuesday of last week were such wet and disagreeable days that waited in Little Rock until Tuesday to start out. It was getting on toward dinner time, but I did not feel the least like eating. Just for fear 1 might get hungry, I stopped at J. M. Clark's store, the Seven-Mile Grocery, on the Hot Springs road. to get lunch, but he said he had just gotten up from the table, and invited me to eat dinner, which of course did. Though there was a dinner could have appreciated at other times, I did not appreciate any of 1t except the coffee. Coffee is never rejected by a man who has spent the most of his early life in Texas, on the plains amongst the cowboys, or with the French next to Louisiana.
 At C. L. Boyd's, in the edge of the city, I learned that Miss Pauline had married Fred F. Smith, at the home of his grandmother, 1424 Ce- dar street, on Saturday, December 2, at 7:30 p. m. She was only a little girl when I first visited their home. 1 wish them much happiness.
 Out in the country, at the Requa place, which recently changed hands, 1 saw the finest bunch of young tur- keys feeding in the large yard that I have seen in this county for three years. The first year of my rambling 1 saw a fine bunch of them east of the river, but all the neighbors were complaining about them straying on to their property They are as bad on field of peas as a bunch of goats.
 A little further on met darkey hauling load of fat pine toward Lit tie Rock. If 1t was for his own use that was all right, but if he was talk ing it to Little Rock to sell, that was wrong, for fat pine is one thing that is really too good to sell. If any many wants a fat pine fire let him move to the country and get it 'sof- fen" his own land
 During the HaIstead fair I called on the F. T. Camerons, who ordered their Pulaskian discontinued, because they had sold their place and were going to move back north. They shipped their piano and phonograph after paying a Little Rock concern to come out and pack 1t for them. Because of the fact that their boy was at the time in hospital they had to delay their going, during which time they ran across a bargain in another farm nearer town, which they bought They then had to have their musical instruments returned, at cost of $75. They made big success here raising vegetables. C. A. Wilms, who is spending the win ter with his son at the former Cam eron home, has started out right by paying for the Pulaskian year in advance. His sons initials are C. H., and he has a good position in Little Rock, where he has been located sev- eral years. Mir. Wilms ST. is from near Greeley, Colo, and intends to return next spring.
 A. Kinsel has worked away from home now, but his wife paid for the Pulaskian.
 Between them and the Halstead community house and hall live MT. Ballou, who up until recently was the linotype operator who set all the Pod Stuff. After three or four years experience he became so we'll ac- quainted with the Pod Mans fist that he could read his hieroglyphics better than l could. They are great friends of the Pulaskian, and Mrs. Ballou paid for sending it to her sis ter at Mullinsville, Kan. Mrs. Bal lou's brother was visiting her. lie had gotten on train to ride into Little Rock at Van Buren, and two tramps on the tra;Es robbed him and threw him off. They tried to throw him in a creek, but he fought them so hard that he did not land until after the train got over the creek, That was about 9 o'clock at night and he lay unconscious where he fell until two the next morning. Recoy- ,ering consciousness he heard man walking along the railroad to whom he called. The man was afraid to
