Home Again.

Home AgGin.
 After taking in all the community fairs and returning home to stay a few days and drink from the "Foun- tain of Youth,' I feel like the prodi- cal son, who has returned home. When I got home Saturday evening f was dark. For several days I was dreading my return home for fear that owing to the dry weather '"The Fountain of Youth" would have ceased to flow. When I returned before it looked like 1t might be go- ing dry, but suppose something or somebody had just drunk out of 1t for 1t was on my return this time flowing stronger than ever and I tell you it just made me feel good to see 1t and the water was purer and clearer than I had ever found 1t before after my return from even short trip. This time 1 was away for ten days on a stretch.
 took a sample of the water and had it examined and as to all harm full minerals and chemicals 1t showed negative. As to hardness it only lack ed one one-hundredth of one per cent of being soft. That bears out my statement that I have got the best water in the world. Dr. Mason had one of the young student doctors make the analysis for me, but that is another story to be told later. The County Hospital is we'll prepared to make an analysis, as 1t has fine laboratory, notwithstanding state- ments to the contrary in the dailies. Dr. Mason was at considerable pains to show me what fine microscope the county owns. It as we'll as the X-ray machine has been ewned by the county for years.
 Sad Net0S.
 The first bad news 1 heard as soon as l reached the Maumelle neighbor- hood was that John W. Williams, whom readers of the Pulaskian will remember as the winner of my first prize for Indian relics, had been dead for several days. His death is pc euliarly sad, because he has been liv- ing with and taking care of his aged mother, and her other son, William, who was living with her, died dur ing the flu epidemic. The Pulaskian extends its heartfelt sympathy to Aunt Liz and the other members of the family, as we'll as to his bereaved widow.
 (. J. C. Nelson Badly Crippled.
 Sunday l went to Wye and stop ping at MT. Nelson's, was very much surprised to find him badly crippled with broken leg and badly injured back. Mir. Nelson was recovering his house when the scaffolding gave way with him and he fell Is feet to the ground. The accident occurred on October 2l, and MT. Nelson says he is going to be up and about in two or three weeks more. He is do- ing very nicely.
 After the Jacksonville fair I got as tar as Little Rock on my way home, but learned that I had fruit tree delivery there the first of the week so instead of returning home 1 had to go back to Jacksonville. Notwith- standing the hard times, I had 100 per cent delivery there. That means that l delivered all I had sold and got the cash for them. It was we'll tor me that 1 did for l am too hard run now to lose a bill of trees, for when anyone fails to take the trees I have to pay for them out of my own pocket.
 started from Jacksonville down into the Arkansas river valley, but l struck high middle in the road be- tween the Head and McNair farms and an! going to the house for tools to olg out with, l was informed that 1t was a common occurrence there for people to come to the house to get n,elp to get over that place. got shovel and mattock and I worked me road.
