 MEssRs. EDIroRs: Herewith I send you programme of part of the ''exercises of the Phi Kappa Sigma College" Its ex- animation came off yesterday, and 1 must say have never witnessed one more thor ough and more calculated to show the pu- piPs progress. There were some little boys in Latin who really surprised me by their advancement. had thought it imprudent to cause boys not older than eight years to study Latin. I now think differently.- Languages, according to nature should be studied first In algebra, surveying, etc., the young gentlemen acquitted themselves with honor Messrs. F. Wells, A. J. Hudspeth, D. A. Duval, A. H. Hale, R. D. Touchstone, and others bid fair to climb fame's dizzy height In fact the examina- ton was what an examination should be, viz: an exposition of the students status. At about ] o'clock, P. M., the exhibi oipll, tllC tiOolHS SCtllc, COIHUltuCGtt. l llC extracts first and the original speeches last The small boys are due much praise, for the manner in which they delivered their pieces l cannot forbear mentioning the names of two who spoke the speeches of Messrs. Haynes and Webster in reply to each other The two, Robert Townand and Joseph Currie certainly are, for their age, orators The young gentlemen with only one or two exceptions, were as eloquent and effective as any l have ever heard, and doubtless, out of their number will go forth some who will make their actions part of the worlds history-in fine, they showed that they could speak as well as work out mathe- nautical problems, and read the classics- MT. c. l.. Tillman, the last speaker, showed | conclusively how necessary it is that Mon ticello should have large fine edifce for its male college. And 1 presume, from the cheers he received when he closed, that be- fore a great while, Monticello will have a college building in keeping with her exalted epithet, the |" Athens of Arkansas" 1 had almost forgotten to say word concerning the music. Prof. Masche and his gentle manly band did no dishonor to Apollo.- The professor has few equals in musical department.
 In conclusion Messrs. Editors-Mr. Bar row, the president of the Phi Kappa Sigma and his assistants, deserve an extensive patronage, and without doubt they will get itif merit has any reward.

Pike County and it's Advantages.
 { Iimmigrated here l2 years ago. At that date there was but very little enterprise hereabouts. 1 have travelled all over our county, and l see that there is a large open ing for it to become one of the foremost counties in the State We have the greatest water power in Arkansas I have travelled mp ann down the Missouri river. It surely is possessed of the great est sites for mills and machinery of all kinds that 1 ever saw Henry Merrill &, Co.,, now have one of the finest factories in the west They manufacture about one hundred dollars worth of the best thread per day, besides carding large amount of wool in the meantime, and one of the best grist mills in the State The river is a stream of great fall
 Willis Jones, esq, has another wheat manufacturing mill that is hardly surpassed by any in the west. Our lands are well adapted to fruit. Though we had a cold spring, our fruit trees are now breaking down, being so heavy laden Corn and cotton grow and yield in abundance.
 Public institutions are progressing rapid ly-we have a female school in full flow at Murfreesboro', conducted by the two Misses Scotts-also fine school at Wilton, under the supervision of B. J. Martindale, esq.)
 The southern portion of our county has been settled up some years; the middle and northern portions are settlingup very fast by the best of citizens
 Center Point. in Sevier county. near us. is destined to be one of the best inland towns in Arkansas We have our mails three times a week on one line and many other lines. The citizens of Pike county are improving their lands rapidly; fine buildings are going up of various kinds church houses, school houses and fine dwell lings. Pike county is onward and upward She has some of the finest roads and high ways in the State. We have plenty of corn and wheat and to spare and if blessed with seasons, our present crop will supply the eastern immigration next fall abundant ly. Our county,is regarded as being the heal thiest in the State, and our drinking water can't be surpassed by any. We invite those that wish homes west of the father of wa ters, to come to Pike county, Arkansas.

GENTLEMEN:
 Allow me as Morris & Co.'S agent for the State of Arkansas to introduce to your notice their su perior Iron Hoop or Tie for Cotton baes and other similar purposes. We claim that this IS the only really practical Iron Tie before the public, and that it possesses the following advantages over all others, viz: Cheapaess, Simplicity and Efficiency. It is the only self-connecting tie, thas no extra or separate piece. It can be put on more readi ly than rope or any other tie, it can never unfas ten It has no steeve, clamp, key or ends exposed that can be broken off in handling Every plan ter can, if he chooses, have his name ndellibly stamped on this Iron Tie. In case of fire the cot ton is preserved with the owners name on the Tie, thereby reducing the rates of insurance very ma teriay In compressing it needs no cutting, but is instantly, without being taken off, shortened up as circumstances require This tie is manufactur ed by Geo. w. Morris < Co.,. New Orleans. Plan ters wishing for further information can obtain 1t by addressing

Ashley 4 Boeb''l Appeal from Pulaski Circuit Court.


 Circuit Court
 The points made by the court in this case were
 1st That under the act of Congress of February 17th, 1915, Commonly known as the New Madrid act, and the decisions of the U. s. Supreme court in cases arising under the act, person must conform strictly to the requirement. of that act, before he can require valid title to locate and ap- propriate lands under it.
 2nd A tenant in common, from the na- ture of the estate must, if in the enjoyment of his rights, be in the possession of the whole; consequently the sezin of one such tenant, who admits or does not deny the title of his co-tenants, may be considered the seizin of all But whether such tenant entered upon the estate claiming an cXclu- sive right and busted his eo-tenant is a question of fact.
 3rd. An entry upon and possession of the whole of the land by one tenant in com mon, as if 1t had been his exclusive pro- perty, and the receipts of the rents and profits thereof, without accounting to his co-tenant for any part thereof, or proof of a demand to do so, amounts to an custer So an custer will be presumed between ten nants in common, in favor of one who has had pcaceble possession, and received the profits for the length of time which the statute of limitations prescribes as bar. 4th. A co-tenant may be busted by deny ing or resisting his rights, or by excluding him from enjoyment of the property.
 9th. If the tenant who is out of posses sion submits to the exclusive occupancy of his co-tenant, commenced with the intent to hold in severalty, until the expiration of the period prescribed by the statute of limitations as bar to an action, he cannot recover.
 9th. Although possession by one tenant in common, will not per SC constitute an adverse possession against his co-tenants; but If, by notorious act he claims an ex- elusive right even under void title his possession becomes adverse, and the statute of limitations will run.
 9th. A silent possession accompanied by no act which can amount to an custer, or give notice to his co-tenant of his inten- tion to exclude him, will not make DOS. session adverse.
 7th. The possession of one tenant in common may become antagonistic and ex- elusive of co-tenant, and will become so by an equivocal and notorious denial of the
