tFg- The Lewisburg State contains the fol-
lowing good lick at the stngness Of the Lit
tie Rock merchants in not advertising their
business in the country press OF the state:
IT is said that there are several wholesale
houses in all lines Of trade, in the city of Lit
tie Rock. but t,tey are so little known that
they must do little business We Judge this
from the fact that every week we see dozrn
drummers from ST. Louis. Louisville and Gin
cinnati who sell goods everywhere, They
pay no taxes do nothing for the country. and
do all they can to add all the profits of trade
in our state to the capital OF other States.
"If the wholesale merchants OF our State
would act wisely and literally with the coun-
try Newspapers we could give them all, or at
least much Of this trade that is now tilched
from them As 1t is, we are obliged to see
our country suffer through the stinginess OF
the merchants,

goat, grinncd louder, looked all
around to see that nobody was looking,
and touched the lit end of that cigar to
the tail end of that goat The goat turned
a handspring, and the negro opened his
big mouth to laugh, but the goat butted
him so quickly between the chin and his
breeches pockets that his jaws came to-
gether, making a noise louder than the
report of a gun. The negro hat, boots,
