THE GREAT SOUTHWEST.

In these piping hard times, when one half of our laboring class are idle, when the streets of our great cities are full of men who would work If they could; when one fourth ofevery newspaper in the country is filled with Sheriff and Master sales, and families are daily turned into the streets without shelter to cover their heads; when necessaries of fife are as high as any tune during the war, and labor when had, is as low as twenty years ago, it naturally causes us to think, and sec what can be done to assist and help our suffering fellow men.
 The proprietor of this paper, in view of this fact, has sent reporter into the great Southwest to see and report on the condition of that sec tion, comprising Northern Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, and by the first of September will commence the pub lication of series of letters on the crops, climate, soil and social condi- ton of those States, as well as the railroad facilities offered to emi- grants, who desire to make their home in that section of the Union. At present we will say that the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis railroad will make a satisfactory arrangement with any parties who desire to explore these States, and find homes In section of the country that will vie with It. ally Tn the variety of her natural pro ducts, and excels her in genial eli mate. Cleveland Times.
 The Cleveland Times, from which the above extract was taken, cannot do a work of greater humanity than to point its thousand of men who would work if they could find em. ploymcnt, to Arkansas, What q

contrast between the picture drawL by the Times, and the happy scene that. meets our view here at home. Here peace and plenty fills the land. Never before were such bountlful crops made. Never be- fore have we had more cheering prospect. No need here for any one who will labor with the hands which God has given linn with which to la Dor, to suffer with the bangs of hun- ger. No need here for any one to go about the streets idle. No need here for tic industrious man to watch the newspapers in expectancy of seeing his property or hls house hold goods offered for sale under the Sheritf's or the Masters hammer. No need here for heavy expense for six months out of the year for fu- el No; here you may find homo where these things are all strangers. Here you may fiud labor for which you can get remuneratiye prices. Here you may find opportunities to secure homes and farms of your own at prices, and on terms which will make you able to have little domi cil of your own where you will be lord of all that you survey. Read our short a,ticle headed: "A Golden Harvest and then read the Times picture of times in Ohio and all over the North, and then say if Arkansas is not the place for the immigrant to seek.
 Let the Times reporter come to Arkansas. Let him come up the Ft. Smith road. He will see God fav- ored country, where labor will. bring its sure reward. He will see thous- ands upon thousands of acres ofland waiting for improvement. He will see broad fields of white cotton where thousands of laborers may find ready employment, and where boys and girls as well as strong men may earn their fifteen or twenty dol lars per month. No need for idle ness and hunger here. Send on your Times reporter, and your vii ling sinew and muscle, too. An

unqnestionably been most propi tious one. The weather has been delightful Rams have come al. most exactly as they were needed, and bountiful crops have been real ized. From all sections comes the glad tidings of abundant crops. Our land has been blest and We think our farmers will be left in better con ditiol after they have realized for the present years crop, than they have been since the surrender of the Con federate armies in 1865. No sale in our county next year for imported bread -stuffs or feed d-stufs. No sale for Cincinnati or Chicago packed pork. Verify, we prosper, and our people should rejoice.
 Those who think of seeking homes in Arkansas should make note of this state of Arkansas affairs. No more propitious time for setting down your pegs, in this favored land will ever be found.
 Cotton picking is almost at hand, and thousands of laborers can find employment in the white fields, for the next four months. Those who are intending to come, had as well come now.
 We can only congratulate our farming friends upon the success which has crowned their labors, and wish them remunerative prices for their products.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-08-30
NOT ABLE.

This is the alleged excuse of many of our farmers for not subscribing to their county paper-they say they are not able. Now let us look at this excuse and see how fimsy must be such a pretext for banishing the newspaper from the household. Men dccieve themselves about this mat ter, and by acting the deceit they really believe that they are not able to pay the pitiful sum of one dollar and fifty cents per year for a news paper. Look at it and see if it is not shame and diseredit to any man in a county like ours to put up such plea as this. If we were so- liciting subscribers among people who were impoverished by famine, and blight of crops, and the devasta, tion of war and strife, and where la bor met with no demand, and re ceived no recompense when bestow ed; or if our people were sickly, pu- ny or unable to exert the manual la Dor necessary to bring the rich treas ure out of our productive soil, we would not be surprised to hear the plea mot able" But in a country like this, where men are robust and healthy, where the soil yields it's rich reward to all who will work, where labor is in demand always, where man can make a living by working only about half his time as mauy of our people do;-where every man who will may always get dollar or two by bringing few po- tatoes, peaches, apples, &c., to town, it is astonishing to hear robust, heal thy men allege that they are "not able" to subscribe for a newspaper, and it is disgraceful too to hear them admit that no newspaper makes it's regular weekly visits to their home. A land like this and hundreds of families who do not see newspaper for year at time. Verify what manner of men must they be? Think of it, gentlemen, and remember that it is reproach to our county, a sad reflection upon our intelligence, and a gross injustice to the spirit of en- terprise of those who are struggling to sustain newspaper presses in your midst.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-08-30

WHAT we Tn Arkansas desire to do is to come to an amicable agree ment with our creditors, make Q settlement that will be just to the State aud our creditors, get in all the old evidences of indebtedness that are against us, issue new bonds that will go on the market without a laint of dishonor, and thus preserve untarnished tLe credit of the State. Gazette.
 All very good; but who are our creditors? Is anybody who may rake mp claim against us without regard to the honesty or validity of the claim, creditor? Is man en- titled to any consideration as cred itor who holds your forged notef What kind of amicable settlement do you want with that kind of creditors And what justice to the State, and to our honest creditors is there in entertaining propositions from such creditors to surrender such evidences of indebtedness? You cannot serve the bondholders and the people at the same time.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-08-30

THE recital of the bloody butch cries and disgusting outrages which the dispatches from the seat of wal in the east bring are shocking and sickening. The scenes of carnage which took place at Eski Saghra, where l 100 Musselmans were put to death; at Lovatz, when the women and children fleeing from the invad. ing Russians were outraged and put to death; at Herste, where the vii lage was burned and only one woman
 escaped; and at Sofedji every soul but one woman and her two sons escaped death, tell plainly that there is naught in that struggle but fight for the qualification of hellish malice.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-08-30

the ''Holford Bonds" so-caIied, at the rate of sixty seven per cent. of the principal thereof, being six hun dred and seventy dollars for each one thousand dollar bond; for said sHolford Bonds" at the rate of thir- weight per cent. of the principal thereof, being three hundred and eighty dollars for each one dollar bond; for the .sLevee Bonds" at the rate of nineteen per cent. of the prin- cipal thereof, being one hundred and ninety dollars for each one thousand dollar bond, and for the Railroad Aid Bonds,' at the rate of nineteen per cent. of the principal thereof, being one hundred and ninety dol lars for each one thousand dollar bond.
 Said Adams and Redtield agree to negotiate with the proper authorities of said State of Arkansas, and use their best endeavors to procure, within twelve months from the date hereof, such settlement of the debt of said State by the Legislature thereof, as will enable said Adams and Redfield to deliver to said bond holders, or to said "The National Bank of the State of New York; for delivery to said holders, new bends of said State, as above mentioned, without expense to the holders thereof. And it is agreed by said bondholdcrs, that on the delivery or tender to said bank of new bonds as aforesaid, in the proportions herein named, said bank is hereby directed to deliver said bonds of the several issues now owed by us to said Adams and Redfield in exchange for said new bonds.
 IT'Is FURTHER AGREED, that in the event the arrangement for comprom- ise of the debt of said State is not made on or before July 10, 1878, then the subscribers hereto are en- titled to withdraw their bonds from said bank on surrender of the receipt of the bank therefor.

------------------- A GOLDEN HARVEST.

Summer is almost past and gone. The cool nights and mornings, and the pleasant days, admonish us that the fall weather draws near at hand.
 The labor on the farm so far as making the crop is concerned, is done, and crops have been "laid by" Wheat, oats, rye and barley, have been harvested and corn will soon be ready to gather The season has

here. ChilIs and fever are the most common disorders. Away from the river bottom this complaint is hard ly ever any trouble.
 OUR WATER
 is good, better than is found any where in the State, excepting North of the Boston Mountain range. Wells are from 15 to B feet deep. The water is mostly freestone. There are some very fine springs in this country, but water IS obtalned generally from wells.
 WE HAVE TIMBER
 of almost all kinds, oak, pine, cy- press and walnut predominating. In this county is to be found some of the finest pineries in the Stata. The timber of Arkansas alone will yield a world of wealth if properly utilized. There are a number of saw mills, perhaps 1esr l2 in this county and they are all making money. You cen, no doubt, do better with your machinery here than where you are. Lumber-pine --sells here at $l0 per thousand at the mills. You will find the railroad lines approaching our state liberal toward new corners, and our advice is to come and see for yourself.
 FOR STOCK RAISING,
 our county is very favorable local ity. There is not much prairie land, but you would be surprised to see sheep and cattle here, which look clean and in fair condition after having gone through whole winter with little or no feeding. Nobody here feeds over I2 or l6 weeks ip the year. The remainder of the time stock takes care of itself. Our county is excellently well watered. LANDS
 are worth from to 5 dollars for wild unimproved uplands, Improv- ed upland farms that will make 20 to 35 bushels corn and to 15 bush- els wheat per acre can be bought at $8 to $l0 per acre. River bottom lands are worth double these prices. There is no government prairie lands in this county. The dairy buiness here ought to be very remunerative.
 There is, in my mind, no doubt but that there will be rapid i'm provement in our country during the next few years, and some of you Michigan men of energy and pluck would do we'll to come and start in now. You will meet warm wei come from our people, for we all wish our country settled up with good, industrious men.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-08-30

"A good many of our exchanges are coming to us with a supplement gotten up by Powell, McDougal & Co.,, Memphis, Tenn, advertising Smiths Improved Hand Power Cot ton and Hay Presses. We regard this as not only prejudicial and det- rimental to the true interests of those publishers who circulate this sup plement for mere nominal consider ation, but also as a fragrant viola lion of the U. s. Postal laws. At best It is a cheap underhand way which some concerns indulge in foi advertising, and we wonder that pub fishers of any business qualification permit themseves to be thus imposed upon.

At the annual clam bake of a Fat Mans Association the other day up in Connecticut their blll of fare consisted of 1l0 bushels of clans and oysters shoyeled on the large flat stones where cords of wood had been burned, and on top of them $50 dressed chickens, 400 Holsters. 600 pounds of blue fish, 3 barrels ol sweet potatoes and 1000 ears of corn.
