the necessity of convincing people ~
other States that the soil Of Arkansas Il

Mr.. A. j. Wheeler, editor and pub
Usher of the Masonic Jewel, Memphis,
called on us Thursday. lie is travelling
through Northern Arkansas in the inter
est of his magazine, and we commend
him to Niasons in this part of the State.
The Little Rock Gazette, speaking OF
the magazine, says:
The Jewel comes to our table month
", and we consider it among the most
welcome of our exchanges. 1t is, of
course, Masonic magazine, and as such
should have n subscriber in every Mason
in the State. 1t is also a frst-class liter
airy publication, filled with choice gen
cral reading, and there is no work pub
lished that is better calculated to incul-
cate into a growing family the principles
Of morality, While at the same time it
amuscs and instructs. ). II has received
the Endorsement of the Grand Lodge OF
ms state, AND Is the oillclnl organ OF
Mississippi and Tennessee. To Masons
the work will recommend itself, as they
have only to scan its pages to Judge Its
merits, which they cannot do otherwise
than pronounce tavorably upon. We
wish Brother Wheeler, Godspeed, anc
earnestly hope that he may go out o.
this State with a larger subscription lis
than he now carries in either TENNESSEE
or Mississippi.
