their valuable contents, more than one thou

BROOM CORN.

In looking over the market reports, we have frequently been
 impressed with the belief that the prices quoted for broom corn, would make it very profitable crop for our farmers to produce.
 The profits derived from this crop might be enhanced, if instead of shipping the corn, we could es- tablish broom factories at home and save transportation on the corn. Why could we not as well raise our broom corn and manu. facture our brooms as to have it done by others and pay enough transportation on our brooms to amount to a handsome profit on the same articles if manufactured at home. We are not advised as to the amount of labor required to produce a crop of broom corn, or as to the yield per acre, but al present quotations we feel conf

THE COUNTY LINE AGAIN,

It appears that we are unfortu nate in our efforts to get our friends of the Van Guard to un- derstand us aright on this matter. Our first article was so ''indefi- nite," to them, that they could make nothing of it; our second has been altogether misunder- stood by them, and our position greatly, but we presume altogeth- CT unintentionally, misrepresented by them. They say they had in- dulged the hope that we coald see the impropriety of insisting that the original line be re-estab- lished.
 Our friends of the Van Guard must have read our article very carelessly to get any such an idea from it. We did not, and do not yet insist, or even ask, that the old line be re-established, for we know as well as does the Van Guard that the old line was not we'll enough defined, and that it was a very zig-zag, indefinite county line. We did, however, favor the next legislature defining a clear, definite, and so far as

THE EDITORIAL EXCUR-

They are Coming.

The following, clipped from the daily Gazette of the 24th inst will give us to understand that we may be on the lookout for q big cxcur- sion up our way. We presume ous citizens will be notified of the exact time of their arrival here, and we trust that the same hos rltality and kind attention which has ever characterized our citi- zens will be brought into full play, and extended to our distinguished visitors:
 The grand excursions over the railroads of our state, under the auspices of Hon. J. NJ. Loughbor- ough and Col. T. B. Mills, extend ed to the editors of Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Hi nois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas and Nebraska, is now a fixed fact. The party will leave St. Louis on Tuesday evening next for this city, arriy- ing about } p. m. Wednesday. They will partake of our hospit- alities that afternoon ani night and leave Thursday morning for Malvern, going via stages, etc, to the great Eot Springs; return ing on Friday to Malvern, the party will go direct to Texarkana, and returning from there, will arrive here Saturday morning. The party will then divide, one half going over the Ft. Smith, and the remainder over the Memphis railway. They will return in time to take night train to St. Louis. Col. Loughborough thinks the party will number fully three hundred. One hundred and fifty acceptarces are now on file; thirty two from St. Louis alone, while Chicago is not far behind. Among the acceptances yesterday were those of Emporia, Topeka and Lawrence, Kansas; Indianapolis, Martinsville, Grcensburg and Huntington, Indiana; Montreal, Canada; Gainesville, Ohio; Racine Wisconsin; Louisville, Kentucky; St. Charles, Missouri; Chicago and Detroit. Great preparations are making for their reception.
