Our Mountain Neighbors.

The Fayetteville Democrat, as well as
the citizens generally Of that section ol
the country, are wide awake in the move
ment for narrow guage railroad to con
meet the mountain counties Of the north
west with the Little Rock and Ft Smith
Railway. Van Buren, is really, the only
point above Ozark, on this road, for q
practicable connection. The great advau
tage to Railway corporations to have a
river, as well rs railroad connection, can.
not be overlooked in the terminus of the
road. Besides this, Van Buren presents
other advantages, that do not present
themselves at many other locations access
sible on this line Of road. This is what
the Democrat says
Never before have our people manifes
ted so much interest in the building of a
railroad through the country as they do
at this time We have daily been beseip
ed with anxious inquiries in regard to the
fate Of Senator Walkers bill We feel
satisfied that our prospects for railroad
were never so flattering Our citizens
have become convinced that before they
aud the country can prosper and PROV in
wealth to any extent we must have rail-
road facilities, and they are now ready
for action We hope by next issue to be
able to announce TO our readers the pas
sage Of the bill introduced by Col Walker.
We have private advices from the capital
to the effect that the bill will m ost certain
ly pass the house
Col Pettisrew, while in Little Rock,
obtained from the commissioner Of state
lands the number Of acres Of forfeited
lands in the counties included in the bill.
which amounts to 1872. $50 acres.
We were shown this week letter from
Col Locke, Of Alma. Crawford county,
to Capt. Crosse, Of this city, in which the
writer says that his people are ready to
do their part toward building this road !,
also, that he, in company with Live
railroad man, will visit the people of
this and Benton county in = few days, in
the interest Oft enterprise. Col Locke
is a " full team " in work Of this kind.
and we hope the directors of the compa-
ny already organized at this place will
hold meeting OF. his arrival. and confer

Cause OF Smut in Wheat.

The farmers Of Pulaski Grange, Ten
nessee, have been fulfilling one Of the
most important objects Of this organiza-
ton in studying the causes of the evils
which curtail the farmers profits. A
committee was appointed to examine
the causes of smut in whest, and after
due inve tigation Il c hartman OF the
Committee, Mr.. Lynch Turner. decides
that it is caused by an insect enemy
The conclusion of the Committee re-
port, which we copy from the Rural SIM
is as follows:
There is a small, brownish bug, about
the size of Bufalo gnat, which makes
its appearance soon after harvest time,
and deposits its eggs ia the cleft Of tie
wheat grain. These eggs are, Of course,

At harvest time, they may be seen with
the naked eye. As. soon as Matched,
they begin to feed upon the substance of

important organs, may explaia, so, the
