Bill Arp’s Budget
OF lIUItAL Or.SET? VATI ONS AND IltlME-
Sl’t'N lIOIOK.
The earliest fires of the fall
Have brightened up the room.
The cat and dog and ofldren all
Have bid old winter come.
The wind is running at the nose,
The clouds are in a shiver;
By day we want more warmer clothes,
At night we want more Liver.
Persimmons and possums are get
ting ripe. The May-pi ihave drop
ped from Lite* vires. Ghtsmits *aud
chinkapins arc opening and walnuts
are- covering the ground. Crawfish
and frogs have gone into winter quar
ters—snakes and lizzards have bid us
adieu. All nature is preparing for a
winter’s sleep—sleep for the trees and
grass and flowers. I like winter ; not
six long months of snow and ice and
howling winds, but three months in
terspersed with sunny days and Indi
an summers. North Georgia is the
place for me, the region of mild and
temperate climate, of lofty mountains
and beautiful valleys and fast flowing
streams. The region where the si
moon nor the hurricane ever comes,
and streams do not become stagnant,
nor the mosquito sing his little song.
I don’t want to be snow bound in
winter, nor to flv from a fiery hurri
cane in summer, and it’s curious to
me that our northern brethren don’t
bid farewell, a long farewell, to such
a country and settle down in this
pleasant land. I know there is no
place like home, and it’s home where
the heart is. The Eskimo loves his
snow house, and the Mexican his
hashiander, lint there is reason in all
things, and if this ain’t LLe best coun
try on the continent there’s no sense
in reason or philosophy. But I'm
sorter glad we have had it to ourselves
this long—l’m glad our people are
getting strong enough to keep it for
their children —that is, a good share
of it. I don't want ein to sell their
pleasant homes for even a big pile of
money unless they have got another
one in view. There is plenty of room
for all who want to come, and money
will turn a wilderness into a garden.
Thousands of them are looking this
way now for deliverance from hard
winters or for profitable investments,
and this exposition is going to gentle
'em and take the scare olf and they
will dare to look round, and will price
our lands and analyze our minerals
and inspect our water-power, and pe
ruse our forests, and while the north
is frozen up they will bask in our sun
shine and wonder that there was such
a blessed land so near and so un
known. The exposition is going to
be a mighty harmonizer. It will get
up a union of sentiment and social
feeling. Our folks always did appre
ciate northern intelligence and north
ern energy. Long before the war when
these educated girls used to come
south to teach school our boys married
'em as fast as they come, and put ’em
to raising children, and they made
good wives and good mothers. Well,
the war made the van keys so sick and
our people so poor their girls quit
coming, but of late they are summer
ing it down here, and our boys are
beginning to pick ’em off like they
used to. They go for ’em quick, and
it’s a pretty fair bargain, for there is
money on one side and rebel blood
and independence on the other, and
that’s a good compromise.
A clever girl was picked up the
other day by a young man of ray ac
quaintar.ee. lie was good looking and
poor and proud and she was a little
over age and undersize, and not alto
gether as beautiful as the Lord might
have made her if he had wanted to.
but she was rich. Well, lie took her
in out of solitude, and she took him
in out of the wet, and it’s all right. I
reckon it’s all right, and I hope they
are happy. When a fresh married
woman gives her feller a check for
twenty thousand dollars next day, and
has plenty more behind, it’s a sign she
is satisfied with him, and if he aint
satisfied witli her I shall always think
he ought to be.
I havent seen the exposition as yet.
I’m waiting until it gets in full blast,
and then l*m going to take the fapaily
down in small detachments. It’s our
show and it’s a cheap show, consider
ing, and may be it won't happen again
for many years to come, and 1 think
everybody in reach of it ought to go,
especially the women and children—
the women for pleasure and the chil
dren for instruction. I think the rail-
roads ought to reduce the fare to one
cent a mile for their sakes. They
wouldent lose by it for twice as many
would go an 1 it would make the little
folks so happy. It's no pleasure to
me to see a big thing and go home and
tell about it. I always feel a little
mean if Mrs. Arp aint along or some
of the children. When King Cole's
railroad is finished I want him to fur
nish a long train of palace cars and
give us a free ride from Rome to
Brunsw ck and furnish us with fish
and oysters when we get there and let
our children see the ocean and look
and gaze and wonder. He can do it
and make so many people happy.
Bet Mr. Sene}* will, if he takes a no
tion, or gets on another spree.
Henry Grady invited me to a recep
tion last night. I had a headache,
i but I thought maybe it would hope me
! to be received, and so I took the
i street ear and went out, and shore
■ enough he received me and mixed me
up with a goodly company of elegant
gentlemen, and he made everybody
feel at home in his new and splendid
mansion. There's more rooms and
snuggeries and dodging places than I
ever saw in a house of its size, and all
the deekorations are beautiful and
everybody so fine and new, I was
afraid to stand up or set down, but I
watched Ilowell and done as he done,
and Howell he wanted to open a win
dow but was afraid of the trigger, for
he said something might fall on him,
and I asked Dr. Lawton what was
them verses high up on the wall in the
dining room, and he said he reckoned
it was the bill of fare, but Ilowell said
it was spine lines from Burns about—
■“**''** * *?**'•' ■* iiif’i' \ . •'*♦•* .* m , *
Catches his hens and puts ’em in pens,
Some lay eggs and some lay none ;
AVire, briar, limber lock,
Three geese in the flock.
O-U-T spells out and begone.
Weil, there was newspaper men from
Boston to Galveston and all along the
country between, and they look smart
and thoughtful, and I couldent help
but ponder over the power of their
pens and the responsibility that was
on ’em to influence peace in the land
and good will among our people.
Long life and health and happiness
to Henry and his family. I didn’t
look in all the closets, but I hope there
is no skeleton there. Bill Aitr.
A Leading Professor Speaking of
Sensible People.
Dr. S , the prominent Eastern
medical lecturer, says : “ Every day
sensible people come to me complain
ing of their Health being broken down.
The answers to my inquiries always
are—what I surmise—nature’s laws
have been totally disregarded ; conse
quently the blood, the stream of life,
becomes contaminated—and as a re
sult of this blood poisoning, I find
dyspepsia and disordered functions
of the iieart, lungs, liver, and kidneys,
accompanied by headache, nervous
debility, and other impaired organic
portions, often verging on paralysis.
In order to keep the digestive organs
in proper health and strength, I and
my friends in the profession have
recommended Brown's Iron Bitters —
they act so mildly and soothingly,
never leaving any unpleasant after
effects, strengthening t he organs of di
gestion, and permanently remov
ing every symptom of ill health,
languor, and, dftbUitfrWnNo xanvedy
in the East gives such satisfaction as
Brown’s Iron Bitters, and all druggists
can procure it for you. Don't be per
suaded to use a substitute. This
remedy contains no alcohol and is the

“Don’t know half their Value.” '
“ They cured me of Ague, Bilious-.
ness and Kidney Complaint, as recom
mended. I had a half bottle left which ,
I used for ray two little girls, who the
doctors and neighbors said could not
be cured. I would have lost both of
them one night if I had not given
them llop Bitters. They did them so
much good I continued their use until
they were cured. That is why I say
you do not know half the value of Hop ,
Bitters, and do not recommend them
high enough.”—B., Rochester, N. Y.

Nevada’s Stone for the Washington,
Monument.
The block of granite which Nevada
contributes to be placed in the Wash
ington monument was yesterday re
ceiving the finishing touches at the
hands of the sculptor, John Barrett.
The last of the silver letters in the
name of the State was just being let
into the panel. These letters are of
solid silver, arc about as thick as a
silver dollar, some six inches in height
and of proportionate width. They are
so neatly fitted into the solid granite
that the joint is almost invisible.
Above the word “ Nevada” is deeply
cut in the granite the motto of the
State —“All For Our Country”—and
below, the date 1881. The figures of
the date will be plated with gold. The
granite composing it is the hardest
ever seen.— Washington Star.
Mr. Samuel McKenzie, Cumber
land, Md., writes : ‘T am 68 years of,
age. About four years ago I began to
go into decline. I suffered from dys
pepsia, stone in the bladder, weak
lungs, and general nervous debility.
Nothing I tried did me any good until
I used Brown's Iron Bitters. This
remedy has made me again robust
and strong, and I feel all the fire and
activity of youth once more in my
veins.”
