From Arkansas.
Little Rock, Ark., March 14, '90.
Editor Democrat-Press :—After my
travels through Green, Craighead, Poin-
set, Cross, Woodruff, White, Lonak, Pulaski and Prairie counties, here I am at*
t Little Rock, the state capitol, an enterprising and flourishing city of 40,000 inhabitants, located on the south side of
the Arkansas river, at a good elevation, a
' good portion of the city and Surroundings
being hilly. A portion of the regular
U. S. army is located here and have headquarters occupying quite a large territory, which is mostly a nice graze. There
are some fine public buildings here, and
nice churches, among the latter being the
Catholic cathedral, With a steeple 250
feet high.
, Negroes are numerous bere, comprising about one-third of the entire population and do nearly all the labor. More
than one-half the people met with out of
doors in working hours are negroes. But
" they are a race unto themselves and
white people do not associate nor mingle
with them, no more than actual business
admits. They inhabit certain localities
of the town, and such looking human
habitations I never saw before in any
civilized community. But there are exceptions, some of the negroes being ,m
comfortable circumstances. But they all
appear to be contented and happy, indeed nnhappiness "appears to be almost
unknown among them; and they seem to
. enjoy life after their fashion, no matter
'< lUn what condition they are placed. They
Jaaye four colored churches in town. I
visited a colored Baptist church where a
revival meeting is now in progress, and
the sights and performance was more of
a treat to me than a, circus or show of
any kind. Such noise and demonstrations. The wildest shouting Methodist'meeting I ever heard in Michigan
was tame in comparison. The prayers
were joined in by most of the congregation, especially the "mourners," who
kept up a wild, "uncanny" noise or
chant, with clasped bands, their bodies
swaying back and forth all the time.
Most of the prayers and speaking was
delivered in a short of chanting, rhyming
jargon, which seemed most strange and
weired. I was the only white person
present. And such "mugs" and shades of
darkness... The ace of spades would look
pate in comparison to some of the faces,
which were of many, shades and colors.
Yes * .
"Some were black and some were blacker,
And some were the color of aehawterbaeker."
The race problem is a grpmng quesr
tion in the.south. In some of the counties which I have visited, the blacks outnumber the whites two to one, but the
negroes don't hold many offices. When
that is attempted by the aid of the white
republicans, there is often trouble for the
negroes. Leading politicians, in all parts
where I have visited, make no secret
that they are not only opposed to negro
rule, but what is more, will not permit
it, and de not deny that there have been
such things here as "counting out."
But the negroes do not seem to be
worrying themselves over the situation,
and don't seem to care how the world
wags, so long as they make some sort of
a living. In fact, if the politicians let
the negroes alone, as near as I can learn
from all sides, he would not bother about
politics. Where the democrats haye a
majority there is no difficulty. On this
all agree.
Just now the democratic leaders appear to be somewhat alarmed over republican prospects in the state, and are
inaugerating democratic colored clubs.
One of these organizations I found in
DeVall's Bluff, Prairie county, largely
colored, and here in Little Rock there is
a good number of colored democrats,
with a democratic newspaper, the National Democrat, edited by a colored man
namedE. A. Eulton, whom'I met. I
send the Democrat-Press a copy of the
paper. Mr. Pulton was an escaped slave
worked in the underground railroad
movement before the war and was connected with the John Brown movement.
Gen. Alger, of Michigan, is to be here
to attend the state meeting of the G. A.
R., on the 26th inst., when a big time is
anticipated. The republicans willmak
a desperate fight to carry the state this
year, and for this purpose they are in
better shape than ever before.
High water here in all the streams, and
spring is very backward on account of
heavy rains, although peach trees and
.flowers are in bloom here, Th frost of
March first was the hardest known at

of high water.
This is a great timber country, and
northern people are coming in to improve opportunitiesvhere presented.

The Wise correspondent of the Mt.
Pleasant'Enterprise says that F.M. Tubbs
went to Loomis after the doctor on the
5th inst. and his horse became frightened
at ah engine on the track and was so festive that he got out of the carriage to
hold him by the lines when the animal
reared, striking Mr. Tubbs on the head
and inflic't'ing a severe wound. On his
return home Mrs. Tubbs felt so bad for
herhusband that to comfort him she
made him a present of a fine little girl.

happy guests did ample justice..
The Original Southern Tourist Company held forth at the G. A. R. hall in
this" village Monday evening an gave a
very -p/easing entertainment. The house
iras well filled and everything passed off
quietly. It is no more than just to say
that the company was about the best that
has exhibited here in a long time. They
will return Saturday and give another
entertainment in the eyening, with an
entire change of program. If it proyes
as good as the one gave Monday evening,
the audience will go away perfectly satis«-
fied. The previous program was void
vulgarity, and was rendered in a refined
and pleasing manner.
•" There has been more than 3000 carloads of ice shipped from Harrison this
season. There is now better than 3000
car loads more scored or packed on the
banks of the lake for shipment during
the coming summer. Over 300 men are
no\v at work harvesting the crop as fast
as it can be done, and the work will continue as long as the -weather continues
favorable. It is estimated that upwards
of #40,000 has been expended in that yi-
cinity alone in the past six or seven
weeks by contractors and others in securing the crop. Taking the operations
at Harrison and vicinity, Lake George,
Farwell and Crooked Lake, there is no
doujjt that $75,000 or $80,000 has been expended at this one industry alone in this
couoty.

very interesting. ■ '

/An exchange says that the best thing
that a young man can do is to belong to
some fraternal organization. The teachings he will receive are of a high enobling
character. It is. line upon" line, precept upon precept, and he, will receive
numberless instances of the application
of the lessons taught. If there is any
class of organizations under the sun that
practices what it preaches, itisthefra-*
terrial societies. It is almost impossible
for a young man to grow .up surrounded
by fraternal influences Without being a
better man because of that fact. From
a personal stand-point, in no way can be
obtain so substantial advantages, morally,
mentally, or financially at so small a
cost of time or money, as by forming
such a connection.
The "Little Trixie Musical Comedy
Co." which appears in the G. A. R. hall
on Monday evening next, receive some
very good press notices, one of which
from the St. Joe Republican is as follows:
"The 'Little Trixie' company reorganized here for the season of 1890, played
the comedy drama, "Little Trixie," in
Martin's Academy of Music, on Tuesday
evening to a large audience. The entertainment was pleasing in every way, the
cast of characters being well arranged
and working harmoniously throughout
the play. The musical specialties on the
mandolin, guitar, etc., giyen by Messrs.'
Robbins and West" and others, were well
received, while each one as principals in
other parts gave general satisfaction
Miss May Robbins, the queen of sou-
brettes, was charming. The company is
a good one, and will merit a good house
wherever billed.
A henious act was commited in this
village Wednesday. Two woodsmen,
John Millis and Angus Brunson, became
involved in a fight in Husted's saloon*
Both were pretty well loaded with poor
whiskey. Brunson got the better of his
adversary, gaye him a pair of black eyes
and ia the melee got Millis' right ear
between his teeth, biting oft a goodly
portion of that member, which was afterwards found upon the floor. Dr. Carpenter attended his injuries. After the fight
Brunson evidently began to realize what
he had done, as he made himself scarce
and has not been seen since. The act is
a state prison offense, and if apprehended
he is liable to be severely dealt with by
the officers of the law. Millis does not
appear to take his disfigurment at heart
to any great extent, as his inebriated condition the following day would indicate.
He has a sister at Mt. Pleasant, who is
the wife of ene of the merchants at that
place.

Editor Democrat-Press :—After my travels through Green, Craighead, Poin- set, Cross, Woodruff, White, Lonak, Pulaski and Prairie counties, here I am at* t Little Rock, the state capitol, an enterprising and flourishing city of 40,000 inhabitants, located on the south side of the Arkansas river, at a good elevation, a ' good portion of the city and Surroundings being hilly. A portion of the regular U. S. army is located here and have headquarters occupying quite a large territory, which is mostly a nice graze. There are some fine public buildings here, and nice churches, among the latter being the Catholic cathedral, With a steeple 250 feet high. , Negroes are numerous bere, comprising about one-third of the entire population and do nearly all the labor. More than one-half the people met with out of doors in working hours are negroes. But " they are a race unto themselves and white people do not associate nor mingle with them, no more than actual business admits. They inhabit certain localities of the town, and such looking human habitations I never saw before in any civilized community. But there are exceptions, some of the negroes being ,m comfortable circumstances. But they all appear to be contented and happy, indeed nnhappiness "appears to be almost unknown among them; and they seem to . enjoy life after their fashion, no matter '< lUn what condition they are placed. They Jaaye four colored churches in town. I visited a colored Baptist church where a revival meeting is now in progress, and the sights and performance was more of a treat to me than a, circus or show of any kind. Such noise and demonstrations. The wildest shouting Methodist'meeting I ever heard in Michigan was tame in comparison. The prayers were joined in by most of the congregation, especially the "mourners" who kept up a wild, "uncanny" noise or chant, with clasped bands, their bodies swaying back and forth all the time. Most of the prayers and speaking was delivered in a short of chanting, rhyming jargon, which seemed most strange and weired. I was the only white person present. And such "mugs" and shades of darkness... The ace of spades would look pate in comparison to some of the faces, which were of many, shades and colors. Yes * . "Some were black and some were blacker, And some were the color of aehawterbaeker." The race problem is a grpmng quesr tion in the.south. In some of the counties which I have visited, the blacks outnumber the whites two to one, but the negroes don't hold many offices. When that is attempted by the aid of the white republicans, there is often trouble for the negroes. Leading politicians, in all parts where I have visited, make no secret that they are not only opposed to negro rule, but what is more, will not permit it, and de not deny that there have been such things here as "counting out." But the negroes do not seem to be worrying themselves over the situation, and don't seem to care how the world wags, so long as they make some sort of a living. In fact, if the politicians let the negroes alone, as near as I can learn from all sides, he would not bother about politics. Where the democrats haye a majority there is no difficulty. On this all agree. Just now the democratic leaders appear to be somewhat alarmed over republican prospects in the state, and are inaugerating democratic colored clubs. One of these organizations I found in DeVall's Bluff, Prairie county, largely colored, and here in Little Rock there is a good number of colored democrats, with a democratic newspaper, the National Democrat, edited by a colored man namedE. A. Eulton, whom'I met. I send the Democrat-Press a copy of the paper. Mr. Pulton was an escaped slave worked in the underground railroad movement before the war and was connected with the John Brown movement. Gen. Alger, of Michigan, is to be here to attend the state meeting of the G. A. R., on the 26th inst., when a big time is anticipated. The republicans willmak a desperate fight to carry the state this year, and for this purpose they are in better shape than ever before. High water here in all the streams, and spring is very backward on account of heavy rains, although peach trees and .flowers are in bloom here, Th frost of March first was the hardest known at this season for many years. No mail from the north for three days on account of high water. This is a great timber country, and northern people are coming in to improve opportunitiesvhere presented. J. S. Holden.

"Tony" Hudson, of Harrison, has secured a position in Jerome's hardware store at Saginaw and will move his family. ■ . > . ' John Harris has purchased a horse arid as soon as the roads become good will show the boy3 "a goer worth talk-. ing about." Mr. and Mrs. H. JST. Goodenow were summoned to Morrice, Shiawassee Co., on Thursday, to attend the funeral of a* son-in-law.' The Mt. Pleasant papers last week noted the transfer by Jay R. Rogers of 40 acres of land in Vernon township to Wm. Giberson. ' • Wm. Dwyer and wife, who have been cooking in camp in the lumber woods of Gladwin county during the winter, have returned home to Clare. ,<•■ Friday was pay-day at the Lansingviiie coal kilns. Considerable money changed hands and many a farmers heart and burdens were made to feel lighter. Mr. C.L.Hart, of Crescent City, 111., who is visiting with relatives in this vicinity, made this office a pleasant call Monday and subscribed for - the Democrat-Press. The Harrison Ice company have contracted their entire season's cut to a Cincinnati firm for $1 per ton, which will leave the former company a net gain of 75 per cent. The Ladies' Aid Society will meet next Tuesday at 2 o'clock p. m.r at the residence of Miss Emma Sexsmith. A ten cent supper will be served from 5 to 8 o'clock. Everybody invited. A business man received last week a printed circular offering counterfeit money at 15 to 20 cents on the dollar in lots of #6,000 to 20,000. An address was given on a seperate slip of paper. A Milford girl has made a wager with the young man to whom she is engaged thathe cannot raise a respectable mustache within four months. It will tickle her if she wins; and more or less if she loses. Nice weather Saturday; a little hazzy Sunday; Monday a most beautiful, balmy day; snow Tuesday; sloppy and disagreeable Wednesday; cloudy and cold, raw wind yesterday. All kinds of weather this season. , An exchange tells us that newspaper publishers are not allowed in hell, as a while ago one got there and made such a row with delinquent'subscribers that an order was issued not allowing any more to be sent there, t ^Tm^D'eair is- ■ building. !a h'duse*tin his T*te;On.east--5t"n/str.eeti.w -.<*. . ^.-.v, ^£*m,a-^ti/^^ Pleas;*' Mitv*,*we.re^in iaare.yesteraay'.'4;^;t.\':,( -: i2^^^?^M1^p.?,^i*^r "S-lfni ye?: "' "MrSi^.^.^eiter, of-LQ&rnisf wa's.'ambng )£ikto;f&at -Char'eiaesMy,*. <*'"-*-£- ■ ,--.' jfy*^nry^4]geJK^ ea'stsSthJti'e^t?^;.>.'v;:>'>' ??* *»'■■•.*.
