The senior proprietor of this paper win travel for the next. six or eight weeks for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions. We know great many will say that just now is bad time to attempt thing of this kind, but nothing was ever accomplished without difficulty that was worth the trouble undertaking. It is not to be expected that an enterprise of any character will succeed without a stifn- ulus of some kind. That great scar city of money is felt among our peo- pie none will deny, but there are the fewest number who are not able to take paper and pay for it. Nine tenths of those who do not take a pa per spend ten times It's cost during the year for that which gives them no re- turn. Newspapers, are the cheapest means of information and mental i'm provement we have, and you seldom hear man complain that he has not received the value of the money he paid for his newspaper. The manwho does not take his home paper knows scarcely anything of what is going on in his own county or State, much less the great events of history that are continually transpiring in the great world. Besides, just now our people are deeply interested in the politics of the day. Almost their very existence as people is at stake ill the great con test that is fast approaching and if they may not be allowed to take an active part themselves, their feelings ard sentiments, as given expression by the press representing them, may go far in giving their cause a just hearing: X paper has influence according to the patronage it receives; if well support ed it always shows it. Win the peo- pie of this and surrounding counties assist us in building up the CITIZEN and making it tirst-class paper. We are in advance of any other paper in the State in offering low subscription price, and if the people will take ad
 vantage of our low club rates and give us the largest circulation, we promise our paper shall be second to none in Arkansas. We are not complaining we have done very well, all things considered, but this is Q progressive age and we feel like keeping up, and, if possible, going ahead. If our friends will lend us helping hand we will show our appreciation of their favor by keeping pace with the times and giving them g paper well worth it's price.

 Beg~ We learn from the Jefferson Jim plecute that the Texas State Constitutional Convention meets at Austin on the list of June. It says: "Whatever may be its action, the people of Texas are deeply in terested in its proceedings, and we con- ceive it the duty of every man to scan its doings closely, that he may know on what ground he stands" Well, Mr. Jimple- cute, if your Convention is of similar composition to that which has done the work for Arkansas, and the one which so recently brought forth at Jackson, Miss, you will have to chronicle the throes and pains of long confinement, and the birth of monster that the people of Texas will only be too glad if they can slay. May the good people of Austin be spared a long session this warm weather, and we would advise them to make every police regulation possible to prevent cholera and yellow fever for the next two months.

 We wish to call the particular attention of farmers to our celebrated "STAR1 THRESH FER AND CLEANER, which, as lately im- proved, we claim as far superior to any other machine now in market. It is compact and easily portable; simple in it's construction, and therefore easy to operate by the most in experienced, and will do its work with mar vicious rapidity and perfection, and with comparatively the least demand upon the strength of the animals driving it.
 We have made recent improvements in this machine by which we are enabled to MVroHgA- lg clean the gram under almost any combina- ion of difficulties, and we are now using an new aad effective device for relieving the feeder of dust, thus making the operation of threshing as comfortable and safe as W th the ordinary machines 1t is annoying and frequ- ently destructive 10 health.
 These machines are made of suitable sizes for our Star Railway Power and also for our "stara Lever Power.

Dsg- We have upon our table a copy of The Copperhead, weekly, published at 0ttumwa, Iowa. It's columns are replete with interesting and profitable reading matter Its sarcastic editorials show up very conspicuously the rotten workings Of Radical rule. It gives expression to sen timents which, if done during the darker days of Radical oppression, before the might of the people arose above the tn mutt of Radicalism, would have imprison- ed the writer. We wish success and prosperity to all such fearless vindicators -Des Are (Ark.) Citizen.
 Thanks for your kind wishes, MT Citi- zen Tell your people that in tic next number of the Copperhoad we propose to commence the publication of a series of articles on "The Wrongs of Arkansas a record of crime and yillainy, which could only come from such damuable party as the one now run by such men as Thad Stevens and John A. Logan. We know your situation, Mir. Citizen--know you are under the despot's heel, and that your press is muzzled but we can talk out here in Iowa, and we propose to do it.-Cop- perhead, (Ottumwa, Iowa.)
 We cannot refrain from bidding the copperhead God speed again in its brave work. It is too true that the press of Arkansas is powerless to do good. Rea- son and argument cannot influence swords and bayonots. But we will ever assert the honor, integrity and high-bearing of a people who showed so much devotion to a cause they honestly believed right and just, whether so or not. We are depend ing upon the press and people of the North to fight our battles, and it lies with them to preserve the honor of our Ameri- can institutions by doing our people the justice that is now withheld for party purposes; and We confidently expect to see them victorious this fall, when the successful standard bearers of the nemoe- racy shall place their banners upon the White House and proclaim the American Uuion truth.
