John Lee, of Plainville, Ok la*.,

'Houses and barn had been placed

I'. S. Court, which was to con
vene at Helena last Monday, was
mtponed on account of the dan
Pc'i'Oiis condition of tho levee,
mvliich is relied upon to withstand
the flood of tho Mississippi river
at that point.
The attention of tho ladies of
.Forrest City’ is directed to tho call
for a convention of women’s clubs
■ n Little Eock. In towns where
‘here are organizations a request
made to send two representative
women, and it is hoped that our
city will respond.
The Presbytery of Arkansas will
meet at Wynne, April 27. They
will celebrate the 250th anniversary
< f the completion of tho Westmin
ster confession of faith. Thorp
will bp addresses on tho subject by
noted speakers of Arkansas. These
meeting will continuo three or four
days, arc public and all are cordi
ally invited to attend.
A dispatch from Washington,
Jones, of Arkansas, introduced a
dated March 24th, says that Senator
resolution in the Senate providing
that the committee on commerce
be directed to inquire and report
to what extent tho present disas
trous overflow in the eastern part
of Arkansas is tho result of govern
ment improvement along the cast
ern bank of tbe Mississippi river.
John H. Tipton, tho north-side!
druggist, has entered the list for1
the office of mayor. lie is pecu
liarly fitted for that position, hav
ing all of the qualifications neces
sary to uphold tho dignity of the
liieo, dispense justice to the evil
doers and protect the interests of tho
taxpayer. He is a young man and
lull of push and vim. See his an
nouncement in another column and
consider his claims.
A measure for the protection of
overflow sufferers was railroaded
; rough congress last Tuesday.
Within an hour after receiving an
appeal from the flood sufferers at
Helena, Senator Berry secured the
pnssigo in tho senate of a joint
resolution directing the secretary
(f war to purchase tents and for
ward them to the flooded districts.
Messrs. McCulloch and Little and
Senator Berry conferred with
Speaker Reed and in less than an
tmur the measure had passed both
houses and went to President Mc
Kinley for his signature the fol
lowing day, and in twenty-four
hours thereafter the tents were in
• crvice.
A preacher came at a newspaper
man this way: “You editors dare
! not tell the trnth. If you did, j-ou
could not live; your newspaper
would bo a failure." The editor
replied: “You are right; and tho
minister who will at all times and
under all circumstances tell the
wholo truth about his members,
j alive or dead, will not occupy his
pulpit more than one Sunday, and
then he will find it neeessary to
leave town in a hurry. The press
and the pulpit go hand in hand
with whitewash brushes and pleas
ant words, magnifying little vir
tues into big ones. The pulpit, tho
pen and the gravestone are the
great saint-making triumvirate.”
And tho great minister went away
looking very thoughtful, whilo the
editor turned to his work and told
about the surpassing beauty of the
bride, while, in fact, she was as
homely a? a hedge fence.—Ex.
According to tho best sources of
! information, tho world’s supply of
j cotton in 1895 aggregated 18,200,
| 000 bales, or 7,280,000,000 pounds.
Of the immense crop 10,500,000
bales were produced in the United
States; 2,600,000 in India and 634,
000 in Egypt. The remaining
bales were produced in the various
parts of the globe. In different
countries different standards of
measurement obtain, and in no
two countries is tho weight of a
bale of cotton exactly the same,
iho American bale averages 450
pounds, the Ir.cjian bale 400 pounds
and the Egyptian bale 717 pounds.
Some idea of the vast extent of
tho world’s cotton area may be
gathered lrom the fact that in the
United States alone it covers over
20.000. 000 acres.
In 1830 the world’s total output
of cotton aggregated only 636,000,
000 pounds, or eleven times less
than in 1895. Within a single de
cade, however, the product almost
doubled, amounting in 1840 to
1.192.000. 000 pounds. Sinco that
time the world’s product has been
as follows: 2,391,000,000 pounds
in 1890; 4,039,000,000 pounds in
1880, and 7,280,000,000 in 1895.
From there figures somo idea of
the vast importance of the cotton
plant as a factor in the world’s
growth and progress may bo ob
tained.—Ex.
The soil of Eastern Arkansas is
uncqualcd in its production and
variety* of vegetable life, and its
inhabitants arc slowly but surely
realizing tho bounteous gift of
Providence. For a time corn did
not, or rather was not grown here;
potatoes, hay, berries and fruit
were practically unknown as a
product of the soil—nothing but
cotton. The low price of the fleecy
staple and the consequent hard
timos, has brought about a change.
All it needs is application to grow
profitably almost anything under
the sun. Years ago to suggest the
planting ol “goobers” would in
voke a laugh. Without further
comment tho following, from the
Farm Nows, is given our farmers:
The peanut is coming into greater
prominence every year, as a factor
in the world’s supply of things
needful, and there is hardly any
limit to the predictions of the uses
to which it may bo put. At the
same time, tho territory in which
it may be grown is rapidly extend
ing, and it is not too much to hope
that it may become a really import
ant crop in this country. Peanut
oil is now highly valuod in Europe,
and peanut flour, said to be ex
tremely nutritious, is used exten
sively in Europe, especially in hos
pitals, An oil factory, with a ca
pacity sufficient to use five tons of
peanuts daily, has been established
at Norfolk, Va. In a prospectus
issued by the company, it is calcu
lated that the receipts from five
tons of peanuts will amount to 235
gallons of refined oil, at 81 per gal
lon; 175 gallons of crude oil, at 50
cents, and 3,680 pounds of flour
and meal at 2 cents, and 3,300
pounds of stock feed at 60 cents
per 100 pounds, making a total
gross receipts §415 90 per day,
which, it is estimated, would give
a yearly profit on a five-ton factory
of 819,725.

Il looks as though tho governor
of Arkansas does not possess one
sentiment in common with the peo
ple. In the settlement bill, the
railroad commission, the bridge
| station bills, and last, but not lenst,
tho appeal ot the flood sufferers, a
sort of “the people be d—n” senti
! ment prevailed with him. The last
j act of his majesty vra3 the straw
that broke the carnet’s back, and
{when the people of tho capital
found themselves placed in such a
bad light they put a voio to his
action that should hereafter rotiro
him to tho shades of inoentous
deseutude when a question of pub
lic sentiment and importance is to
receive sound horse sense consider
ation.
nave no lolormation from any
body in Arkansas, or who lives in
Arkansas, that contributions are
needed for relief of flood sufferers."
This is not our idea of tho up-to
dato intelligence which the chief
executive of the groat Stale of Ar
kansas should j'osscss,
Many hours before this “intelli
gence” was wired by the governor
to tho St. Louis merchant’s ex
change, which bod}' sought infor
mation from the governor and of
fered aid for the sufferers, the
wires had been kept hot, and the
daily newspapers contiguous to the
flooded districts kept full of ac
, counts of tho water’s terrible course
1 of destruction and the efforts of
steamboats responding to the calls
of tho sneering through organized
relief committees. All this, and
more ton, was known by the hum
blest citizens who “pulls the bell
cord over old Beck,” tho artisan
who shoves tho plane, the “mack
ora!” bootblack, and drayman
throughout the tho valleys, towns,
and cities ot the great Mississippi
valley.
Should tho legislature assemble,
ono of the first bills they should
rush through should be one appro
priating a number of subscriptions
to representative journals to bo
mailed to the address of “the gov.
ornor."
Contrast the action of lion, P.
D. McCulloch, who represents the
First District of the stato in con
gress, to that of Gov. Jones. Upon
reading the first notes of distress
which were upon the citizens of
Mississippi and Crittenden coun
ties, he promptly forwarded his
aid and sentiments of sympathy to
the Relief Committee in Memphis,
in the shape of a letter and a check
for $100.
Stands at the Head.
Aug. J, Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport. La., says: “Dr. King’s New
Discovery is the only thing that cures my
cough, and it is the best seller I have.’’
J. F. Campbell merchant of Salford, Ariz.,
writes: “Dr. Kmgs’s New Discovery is
all that is claimed for it; it never fails,
and is a sure cure for consumption, coughs
and cqlds. I cannot say enough for its
merits.” Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds is not an
experiment. It has been tried for a quar
ter of a century, and to-day stands at the
head. It never disappoints. Free trial
bottles at J. II. Tipton’s drug store.
Women’s Clubs.
Realizing that much good would ac
crue from a State Federation, and feel
ing that the time is at hand for such
an organization, I, as chairman of cor
respondence of the Genera] Federation
of Women's Clubs for Arkansas, hereby
call a convention for that purpose, to
meet in the City of Little Rock, April
22, 1*97,10, a. m., at such place as may
be designated hereafter—each club to
be entitled to two (2) delegates. Sec
retaries of clubs will please send me
the names of delegates as soon as ap
pointed. City clubs will make ai range
ments for the eutertainment of all
delegates. All circles or clubs organ
ized for literary, artistic, musical, phil
anthropic, scientific or other educa
tional purposes, not under sectarian
or political control, are eligible to mem
bership, in a Federation of Women’s
Clubs. W. C. Ratcliffe,
