PRAYED for and those who don't care d.
(although it is generally conceded by out
! siders that the first Assembly Of this Stat
need it more than any Arkansas Legislature
ever did,, is still being carried on with grea
yigor, the unchristianlike economists beinl
the victors for brief time, until the econom

the former, when the amount of legislativ,
flibustering practiced is, if not interesting
at least instructive, for it exhibits the reli
