the pest portions OI tnls state ana are situated in the heart of the coal and iron region of this state, coal of the finest quality abounds in large quantities in each of them especially in the counties of Pope and Johnson, where min ing is now in successful and high lv remuncrative operation. All these counties also possess farm ing lands unsurpassed by any other counties in the state and will compare favorably with any section of country in the union for fertility of soil and salubrity of climate. The wild grasses are most superior and very fine for stock raising. Clover, timothy and herdsgrass grow well on the low lands.
 These counties are also we'll situated for convenience of trans portation. as they border on the Arkansas river and the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway. Conway county is situated on both sides of the Arkansas river and hence contains a large quan- tity of river bottom land, besides excellent creek bottoms of the Cadron creek, which courses it's eastern boundary, and Point Re move creek, which runs nearly the entire length of it's western boundary.
 There are in each of these counties good schools and acade- mics which afford efficient means of education.
 The various Christian denomi- nations are well represented, and there are also numerous lodges of Masons, Odd Fellows and Good Templars, all in active and four ishing condition.
 Theie is also in almost every township in these counties a live and wiIe awake Grange.
 The Little Rock & Fort Smith Railway which passes through the counties of Conway, Pope and Johnson, has large quantity of very superior land which is now in the market. The land depart ment of said company is at Little Rock, the Capital of the State, and is under the control of Col. Slack, a Pennsylvanian, who is 8 very courteous and obliging gen. tleman, and who will, as 1 under stand, furnish a free ticket over the railway to persons wishing to view and locate in the country. He also has maps and charts of their land in his office which is furnished free, and also furnishes a man in each county to show persons over their lands.
 In conclusion l would say to all, that to be convinced that this is the country in which they can better their condition, they have bat to come and see; and we ex- tend . cordial invitation to come to all. old and young, rich and poor; come by public conveyance, come horseback, come in wagons, come in carts, come on foot, no matter how you come, so you get here, for wen you come you won't want to go back again.
 Yours truly,
 LEWIS w. DAVIS.

THE BROOKLYN HORROR.

The latest horror is the burn ing of a Brooklyn theatre involv- ing a most fearful loss of human life. The city is literally in the valley of the shadow of death, and there is hardly a house but where there arc mourners for dead friends. There has been over three hundred dead bodies recovered from the ruins.
 The dreadful loss of life entail ed by this disaster.should impress npon the authorities Tn large cities, where there is apt to be such large assemblages, the ne eessity of requiring all public

STILLIN SUSPENSE.

Another week has past and still we cannot say that the polit- ical sky is clear. If the theory of the republicans, that the electo- ral vote must be announced by the president of the Senate as 1t IS cast, and that Congress cannot go behind the certificate ot the cleo tors is sound, then Mir. Tilden is undoubtedly elected and must be inaugurated, for he now has the requisite number of votes to elect him. Mir. Tilden now has his lS5 electoral votes, and nas them, too, without either Louisiana, South Carolina or Florida. The manner sby which he got his one needed vote is this; in Oregon there Is statutory provision that if, from any cause, any person who may be chosen as a presidential cleo tor is ineligible, the governor shall not certify to his election, but shall appoint the elector having the next highest number of votes in the district where the vacancy may occur. Now 1t so happens that one Watts, one of the candi- dates for elector on the republi- can ticket held the office of post master, and was therefore ineligi- ble; his opponent Cronin, demo- crat, having received the next highest number of votes was ap- pointed presidential elector by Gov. Grover, and thus Oregon gave one vote for Tilden. We see no lrregularity in this, and cannot see how the Hayesites will get over it.
 InLouisiana and Floridathe cleo toral votes have been certified un- der rulings of the returning board, in favor of Hayes and Wheeler. This has been, notwithstanding all the facts in the case showed that in Louisiana, at least Til den had 8 majority of several thousand votes, fairly and legal ly cast. But Louisiana and Flor da and South Carolina all do not now suffice to elect Mir. Hayes. With all three of them he will have but lS4 votes and will still lack one vote of being elected. Thus the matter stands. Mean while congress has appointed committees to investigate the le- gality of the elections and tue conduct of the returning boards in the states of Louisiana Florida and South Carolina, and their reports will sooa be forth coming. The country will be deeply interested in these and will await the same impatiently. After these are re ceiyed interest will probably be concentrated on congressional ac- tion in regard to the method of receiving the votes of these states. IT. ere will be no certainty how the matter will terminate until next February when the vote IS opened. Come what may we be- lieve that Mir. Tilden will be presidsnt.

MAKE HOME ATTRAcTIYE.-Here Is
gem, clipped from the Stenbenyille tOhiol
Gazette:
"A strong magnet on the hearthstone
will attract your boys from the beer saloons
If the magnet thereat is strong enough to
draw your boys from the home fireside, you
should make yours the stronger. Make
your hearth of loadstone."
To which we add: As kittens seek the
sunny places in the room when they wish
to rest. so do boys and men seek and finti
places where there is an effort made TO en-
| tertain them. Many mother is so intent
on making flannel night caps for heathei
