is about the time of year when
M. C.'s make themselves solid with
their constituency by a lavish distribu
tion of seeds.
Judge R. T. Scott's nomination for
postmaster for Forrest City lias been
confirmed and the Judge will succeed
the present incumbent some time this
month. The retiring postmistress. Mrs.
D. M. Wilson, has made a good officer,
her assistants having been always cour
teous, accommodating, and guarding
the people’s interest.
Preparations for the grand Got
ten States and international Exposi
tion. at Atlanta, Ga.. are progressing
in a roost satisfactory manner. A large
number of the recent attractions of
the Columbian Exposition will be re
produced at the Atlanta Exposition,
and many new features have been se
cured which will make it of lively in
terest to all visitors. It will open Sep

The soil of St. Francis county is better
fur general purposes than any county
*il the State. We have all varieties of
land—bottom land, table land, moun
tain land—adapted to the production
of anything that grows in the ground.
The timber is inexhaustible and sea
sons propitious. 'The health is second
to none, school and churches abound;
society the best in the world. Fiices
of lend to suit everybody. These are
the advantages St.;Franeis offers to all.
The Militia bill was slaughtered by
a few moss-backs who thought $40,000
per annum was extravagance. One
“Gray” said the State did'nt need any
Militia, and mil such brilliant ideas as
tips was entered against the bill. Ar
kansas has the least appropriation of
any State in the United States for the
maintainenee of its Militia. Its troops
are the most poorly equipped, and un
less something is done, by the powers
that be, to encourage them, we feel
safe in asserting that the Arkansas
Slate Guard will soon become an or
ganization of the past.
Almost daily the mails bring us cir
culars. newspapers and letters, from
eminent cotton men, urging a de
crease in the cotton acreage, and pre
dicting that unless the crop is cut down
materially (and in this manner) the
ci;op of 1895 will sell at 3j to 4 cents on
plantations. Our farmers should fig
ure carefully on futures, and give the
question of profit their undivided at
trition before seed time, lest the har
vest leave them further in debt and
without the means of living. The
farmer of all others should live well
apd prosper, but like others he must
bijing into his business common sense,
and profit by experience. It availeth
inflight to raise 4 cent cotton with
which to pay for 10 cent supplies.

The Craighead County Sun. usually
guileless and discreet,up with the times,
and a champion of the people's rights,
has l>een duped by the enemies of the
St. Francis Ia*vee district into publish
in the following unprincipled insinua 1
tion that there is somethingdark about
the expenditures of the board, which
will not bear the light of investigation:
“We have it from good authority that
the board of directors of the St. Fran
cis l^evee District reins** to open their
books to inspection as to the disposi
tion ot funds that have come into their
hands. If it is true, it speaks very
badly for the board and is calculated
to involve them in more ways than
one. It the report is not correct we
will gladly give them space in the Sun
to correct the error.”
The Sun has been imposed upon, and
all sensible persons may readily discern
that this slur i; intended to prejudice
the minds of the people, and more es
pecially the unsophisticated represen
tative in the Arkansas • legislature.
Every man acquainted with the
high character and standing of the
members of the board, will at once rec
ognize in.this, a slander, intended to
benefit the mighty land syndicates and
non-resident landowners, who are just
now bending every means known to
the crafty, to defeat the objects and
aims of the Levee board, and thus
crippling them, create some plausible
excuse for not paying their taxes.
Capt. James Eusseil, of this city, than
whom a more enterprising, honorable.
I conscientious and disinterested citizen
1 does not reside in the district, is treas
' urer of the Levee Board, and upon pre
senting the above clipping to him. and
asking as to its credibility, lie prompt
ly denounced it as “another of then
j schemes to cripple the Levee board,”
meaning the non-resident land owners
who have’nt paid and are endeavoring
. to avoid payment of the levee lax. and
further stated that there is no founda
tion for the statement, and that his
1 looks aie subject to all legitimate in
tigation. Furthermore, an exhaustive
financial statement has lieen made by
these officers to the legislatuie, and
they have aided fin every way passible
all persons seeking such information.
