LABOR WANTED.

We have never heard such a cry for labor. It is a universal com plaint with our planters that they cannot get cotton pickers. Although the price of the staple rules low many of our planters are offering $1.O0 and $1.10 per hundred for picking, and we have heard some say that they would give one half of their crop to get the other half pick ed out. Hundreds of hands could find employment now and make from $1.25 to $2.00 per day. The cotton crop is almost unprecedentedly good, but we now fear that considerable portion of it will not be gathered on account of the scarcity of labor. Would it not be sensible thing for some of the many who are rushing pell mell to Texas to change their minds and stop in this section of Arkansas where they can get ready employment?

Peace in Scott County.

The chronic disturbances which have taken place for some years in Scott county, have happily come to an end, through the firmness and determination of the new Circuit Judge, Hon. J. H. Rogers. The Grand and Petit juries having been found to contain some men more or less biased as to the originators of the troubles, were promptly dis charged and new juries cmpaneled, that everybody had the fullest con fidence in. The drunken swagger, boisterous rioting and reckless con duct, formerly prevailing, was sup pressed as by magic, officials were told their duty and compelled to ex- ecute it; heavy fines, and prompt and sure imprisonment was visited sternly upon the astonished offend CTS, and such a change produced, as to make the good people of Scott feel us if an immense weight had been removed from the breast oi each of them. If, hereafter, the peace of our neighboring county is again disturbed, the offenders will meet with certain and condign pun lshment.-Ft. Smith New Era.

DIED.

At his residence in Dover on the 1st day of Dec. 1877, Nathan B. Rowland, aged GA years and near 6 months.
 This good man came to his death unknown to any one, and very sud den. On tho day of his death he sawed timber until noon, seemed to be in good health; late in the even ing he went out in town, made some purchases of goods, returned home, then went out to his stable, went in the stable; his wife had an occasion to need him at the house and sent one of the boys for Mir. Rowland; in few moments the boy began to scream, Mrs. R. ran out to the stable and found that he was dead; others assembled in a very short time, Doctor was sent for, but nothing could be done for him. Mrs. R. says that she does not think that he moved limb after he fell. The Doctors say it was heart disease. N. B. Rowland came to this county in 1880; has been married twice, has 15 children living, no children dead. He lived 8 consistent chris tian life, was a useful, working mcm- Der of the Methodist Church in his early life. This community has lost good, worthy citizen, his fam ily a kind and affectionate husband and father. To them we can but say look to him who is able to save to the uttermost; look up on high and believe that your husband and father is there; then resolve in your hearts and minds that you will make haste and prepare at once to meet him when you are called on to pay that debt that all must pay some day. A TRUE SYMPATHIzER.

Arkansas COlOniZers upset in the
 River.

A dispatch from Pittsburgh, Pa. informs us that John B. Painter with a party of colonizers, thirty souls in all, left that city Wednes day afternoon in fatboat, intend ing to travel by river to Arkansas They launched their boat about o'clock, and had only floated short distance, when one oi the steering oars broke, and the boat began te drift with the current. Just as they entered the Ohio river the flatboa, struck fleet of coal barges, and the flatboat parted in three pieces and broke up, throwing the emigrants into the water. Some of them climbed out on the coal barges and others were rescued by skiffs. A Swiss family, named Rife, consisting of father, mother and two children and a man from Philadelphia, name unknown, perished. All the rest were saved, although with the great est difficulty. One woman, with ar infant, foated several hundred yards before she was picked up.-L. R Star.

ARE YOU GOING no TExAs7

AISE 1OU GOlNA IO TEAAST
 Are you going to Texas9 If you are you had better pause and ask yourself what for. Texas is now flooded with rowing, restless people who can never see any good in any place except some place just ahead of them. There has been tremen- dous rush to that State for the past four years, and today we doubt whether there is one man in ten who goes there that is contented. The Dallas (Tcxas) Herald, with frank ness which is really highly com mendable has thls word to people who have their heads turned to go to Texas:
 s:In plain English, the papers that speak of the magnificent opportuni- ties this state (Texas) presents to the newcomer, lie, and lie in a very gratuitous, criminal way indeed. The unvnrnished truth is, that our labor market is already stocked to overfiowing, and every fresh arriving train but adds to the miserable null titude in our midst that suffers, starves, and finally fights it's way back cast again. Before the door ot nearly every house in this city there daily begs swarm that would sad. den the heart of satyr."
 Strange indeed is it that with this picture held up to full view the rush to Texas still goes on, and every day some poor, toiling, deluded wretch who has nothing but his own muscle and strength to depend upon, pulls up stakes where he is perhaps doing we'll enough, and rushes madly on tc Texas and starvation. Why right now labor is SO scarce here in Ark ansas that many of our planters are offering one half of tnelr cotton crops to have the other half gathered Would t not be better for tho surg ing mass of movers to Texas to stoF where they can get employment te earn their bread and meatp This they can all surely do in Arkansas In Texas they cannot.

Ozark Banner: The Gazette and her satellites had as we'll quit howl ing for . special session of the legis. lature. The people are inclined to that view of things, nowadays, which favors less taxation, and it will be found to be matter of no little difficulty to hoodwink the peo- pie into passivity in these things. The time is full upon us, when the citizens of Arkansas have taken their rights under their own advise ment and they will not agree to this unnecessary burden being placed upon them. Let the bonds rest un- til the regular session. There is time enough. Let the debt sleep, for soon it will be called to that sleep which knows no waking.
