A Trip Through the Country,
To the editor, of the DEMOCRAT:

To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Your correspondent takes pleas ure in giving you brief outline of the prospects for good crop in the lower edge of Pope county. Much might be said concerning the superior quality of the firm lands lying contiguous to the Ar kansas river below Galley Rock to the Conway county line and out to Atkins on the k. k. To one who seldom rides out to see the country, a stroll at this sea- son of the year would be really enervating to the soul. Fine corn fields from one farm to another meet the eye. Cotton never look
 ed so promising, and never show ed so we'll the labor and industry bestowed by the enterprising far mers at this season of the year as it does now. Wheat in abun- dance and reaping steadily going on. How encouraging to our far mers this should be. Almost every farmer you meet takes pleasure In showing you his flat tering prospects for fine harvest. Why should our hearts not join him in rejoicing, when his pros perity is only ours? One who could not appreciate the flattering prospect; the generous spirit Of welcome visitor; appreciate the most cordial reception that could be extended to us by sterling men of the country, would fail in his appreciation for the prosper
 ity of his country and would only deserve place among those who were lost to energy and industry coupled only with self interest and personal aggrandizcment alone. The prairies of Illinois or the rich fields of Kansas ol Texas will never meet the casua observer more favorably thal some of the farms from Galley Rock to the Conway county line South and east of Atkins the prospect is equally fattering foI a good crop. At time so favor able as this it is really treat fol one to ride through the country and see the people cheerful be
 cause their hopes run so higl over the promise of rhe finest har vest for years. If the citizens O your town would ride out more tt the country your correspondent i' inclined to the opinion that some new acquisitions would be made to the farming class in twelve months. But, withal this, thu farmer is decidedly the independ
 ent liver and the happiest man O
 all other vacations in life. c.

SULPHUR SPRINGS, June 13, '76.


 MR EDITOR: Wheat harvest Is over, some farmers have good wheat, while others have Scarce, any. Notwithstanding the poor yield, 1 think there will be as much wheat made in this town ship as last year, on the account of the large acreage sown. Corn and cotton looks very fine. Oats fine if the rust don't iniure them, and the finest prospects for mast of all sorts, that l have seen for years. The farmers are at work with a will that would do you good to see.
 There is a detormination in the minds of farmers this year, that has not been seen since the war, a new leaf is turned and they with the usher III of the centen- nial year have begun in good earnest to be q man, or die root Ing like hog. Sell praise IS half scandal, so no more.
 No, l had like to forgot to say to the farmer, Gas the idle time of the season is near at hand fix up your farm, no longer cultivate five acres in stumps to every twenty-five in corn or cotton. Stumps and rock piles are worse to cultivate than cotton, besides the pay is not so great. Dig up the stumps, haul out the rocks, and fl any of the latter are too heavy to haul, bury them. Fix your farm so you can use improved farm implements. This will pay.

 Yesterday was a rainy dark day in the fore part of the day, but amidst all that the Rev. ". J. Dodson was with us, and preach ed for us at eleven o'clock. He also preached last night at MT. P. w. Austin's, good sermon. Two added to the church, the wife of Mir. Austin and Miss Tennie Austin. We are getting along fine with our Sabbath school all we need is q new house, which we expect to build this fall on a nice lot presented to the church by Mir. Warren Bell, one fourth of mile from the old stand. As there has been no name yet par ticular found for the new stand, l would be glad to have it called Dodson Chapel. Esq. Pollock thinks Pleasant Hill would be a nice name, if we are fortunate enough to get It built. 1 think brother Dodson has been the great cause of it, and 1 for one would be glad to call it Dodson Chapel. Well 1 have said enough. We would be glad for Mir. Jas. Potts to visi. our Sabbath school again which we know he would be a great help to us. l want us to have a picnic and have it the 4th of July. l will say no more this time only we recommend the DEMOCRAT and are subscribers for it, r. l..
