That town clock of ours is certainly one
of the most wonderful pieces of mechan-
icism that man has ever invented. Some
davs II will run the same as other
clocks, its three faces indicating the same
hours of the day, and strike the different
hours, as successively and correctly as
any common clock Then again it will
take notion TO show all those who will
take The trouble TO look on its fair face,
tue wonders of IFS internal construction.
The time at different points of the four
quarters of the globe, is here correctly
shown. As it is generally known, this
clock has but three dials, and to accom-
plish this result the machine has been so
rugged that when it is twelve O'Clock
here it will strike three, seven, ten, or
whatever number the genius who oper
ates it may choose, and each dial shows
from three to nine hours difference in
time
This is the first clock ofthe kind ever
manufactured, and has cost the city OF
Ashtabula, large sum OfmOney TO bring
it down To its present state of perfection
and we expect an agent will soon be ap-
pointed 10 give the world the benefit of
this truly wonderful invention.

THE TRIP

across the plains has been written up so
often that the reading public have become
familiar with it, so will not attempt but
a passing glance. At Chicago took the
Rock Island road, which passes through
rich farming sections of Illinois and Iowa,
and everywhere were evidences of thrift
and good crops. Arrived at Omaha at
10 a. m. Thus far I had come on regular
express trains; there, the "sheep were sep
arated from the goats" and was trans
ferred to the regular emigrant train which
leaves daily at 4:35 p. m. The regular
routine of recheckIng baggage, changing
tickets, reflling lunch baskets was gone
through with. and late in the afternoon
we were fairly started across the plains.

Frst--The law making department Of
the State of Arkansas in fixing the rate
Of taxation, has not wisely or properly
considered the rights Of the people OF
that State.
Sccond--High taxes more than all
things else,sre retarding the development
of the vast resource aud dormant wealth
Of the State.
Thirl-High taxation is the most griey-
Gus bur,hen that the people of this State
have to submit to
Fourt-We are willing to pay taxes
necessary to defray the expenses Of the
State, county and municipal governments
when economically administered, .
Fiuh---Whilc protesting against the ex-
orbitant rate Of taxation, we, as law abid-
ing citizens, will pay nothing in excess
Of what the .aw provides.
Six,h-We will use all honorable means
to have the legal rate OF taxation in this
State reduced, and to secure economy in
the administration Of government affairs
in the future.
Sevcnth-As last resort, rather than
be bankrupt ourselves, we are for forcing
the State into bankruptcy--that is we are
