much about the county-seat, anyhow, and

The members of tho Press Associa-
ton, who have been spending few
days at Fort Smith. enjoying the boun-
tiful hospitality of the generous citizens
OF that place, passed down tho road,
on the way to their homes in different
parts Of tho State, Saturday morning,
and il was our pleasure to take many OF
them by thu hand, bidding them fare
we'll at the depot. Our only regret, us
we saw the cars start off, with their prec-
ious load of human freight, was that we
wcro dnharrod the privilege of enter
tanning this party in our town. We, too,
would have been delighted with tho hon
or Of giving to them testimonial of the
esteem in which they are held by our
people. But we could only shake the
hand, and with emotions deep breathe
sad farewells," and turn away. The cd
itors Of .Arl-aasas are generous, whole
souled body of gentlemen, and although
ours was not tho privilege to convey to
them any public testimonial, we were
made happy by their presence in this
part Of tho State. To know them bet
ter, would, NO are inclined to believe,
but pave the way to warmer and more
persistent friendship. Genial, kind, and
generous to iimitless degree, they nat
urally ipterwesved themselves in the af-
fections Of all with whom they associated.
They carry away with them to their
homes and the weary, monotonous life OF
their sanctums, tho kind wishes of
our people. We sincerely hope that
this is not the last time we shall have the
pleasure Of meeting our brethren of the
quill in our part Of the State.

asking Judge Chaplin to withdraw the
order for an election on the question OF
