ATTENTION FARMERS!

We call the attention of the farm CTS of Pope county to two circulars published in to-day's paper,-one from State Land Commissioner Smlthee in regard to the display of the farm products of Arkansas at the Permanent Exhibition at Phila- delphia, and the other from the Sec sretary of the Arkansa Fair Asso- citation in regard to each county for. wagding such of her products to the State Fair as will do credit and honor to the county from which the specimens come. We say "Atten- ton Farmers" because in a country like ours, where agriculture is the chief occupation of the people, where manufactures have not yet been started, and where the quality and the productivcness of the. soil is so grand as ours, it is the farmers who are able to make the best and most telling display. Agriculture is the basis of all great prosperity, and the country which can offer great inducements for men to engage in this grent industry must inevita' bly, attract population, wealth and power. Arkansas CAN show speci mems of her tarm products, of hel forrest and mineral resources which are bound to command the admlra tion of the world. The call of Scc'ty Pagan and Land Com'r Smithee should meet with ready response from the citizens of every county.
 We urge our Pope county people to see to it that we have prope display. No county can outstrip u in thesexcellency of our farm, fiel' and orchard products. Let us shoy our hand.

The Gazette is not a safe coun- selor for the people in the matter ot the Adams Redfeld Scaling Plan. Why? Because it is owned and con trolled by one of the parties who are interested in getting the plan through. Messrs. Adams & Redheld are the Middle-men who come in be- tween the State and the bond-hold- CTS in patching up this abominaoie trade. They will make rich thing of it, if it succeeds, and of course Maj. Adams paper, the Gazette, will do it's best to put the plan through We submit that in this affair the Ga zette is directly interested in the success of the scheme, and hence is not safe counselor for the people whose interests are to be sacrificed for the success of the scheme.

ARKANSAS THE BEST COUN- TRY UNDER THE SUN
 FOR FARMERS.

The experience of those engaged in the agricultural pursuits of every day adduces new proofs that It is actually and literally true that Ar kansas is the best country under the sun for men who wish to live hy till ing the soil. Nowhere does labor bestowed on agriculture bring so bountiful and so sure reward to the industrious husbandman as it does here. Nowhere is the production of crops and the raising of stock possi- ble to be carried on so easily and at so slight expense as it is here. No where does nature, the seasons and the climate lend so much toward the work of securing rich reward from farm labor. We showed by the sta. tistics few weeks ago that Arkan- sas yielded more lint cotton per acre than any State Tn the union, despite the fact that she has perhaps .he poorest farmers in the world. Many of the cerials and root crops do as we'll here as they do anywhere in the world and YIELD TWO CROPS PER AN MUM. The following isem clipped from the Eldorado Eagle { Union county illustrates this point:
 Mir. Robert Goodwin planted his com on the 10th of March; it matur ed in July, was gathered. the ground broken up, and the new seed plant eb from which second crop he has just furnished us with as nice q mess of roasting ears as we care to eat. This is the first corn from the second crop, same seed on same ground, that we ever saw; and MT. Goodwin now says that he can, by thus raising two crops, make double the quantity of corn that could here tofore be produced on the same land. Mir. G. is one of our oldest and best farmers, and he speaks of attending the St. Louis Fair, we hope he will embrace the opportunity to tell the world what Arkansas, and Union County in particular, can bring forth under skillful management.
 With such soil, climate and sea sons as we have in Arkansas, the farmer, if he will only exercise in dustrious and prudent management, cannot help growing affiuent and prosperous. The only class of men who fail to prosper at farming in Arkansas are those who will not work, or those who will not take care of that which they make.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-10-04

Tho Gazette says because the repudiation papers have not propos- ed any plan for the settlement of our bonded indebtedness they should not oppose the plan proposed by Messrs. Adams and Rediield. A strong argument that. We see from a close examination of the A. & k. plan that it is going to cost the State an immense sum more than 1t ought to, to settle her bonded indebtedness under that plan; but we should mol oppose the plan, says the Gazette unless we have something better tt suggest. That does not accord witt our view of serving the people. Ou idea is that whenever we see scheme being matched out to oppres the people unjustly, to smash tn egg at once, whether or not we ar able to. supply the nest witl new eggs which will hatch out some thing bette-.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-10-04

The Gazette has not yet worked out the sum we gave it to show the people where the $S7,000 saving comes in under the Adams -Redfield plan. We now ask that paper if 1t is wiling to assert upon it's own rep utation for veraeity and fidelity to the people, that there is the saving claimed by Messrs. Adams and Red field? Will it give plaln answer?
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-10-04

TIE Hot Springs Telegraph has proved by figures that according to the Adams Redfield plan the State will save little over $300,000 in stead of $S5, ,000, and the Russellville DEMOCRAT proves by figures that by the same plan the State will LOSE $4l1, ,073.-Little Rock Gazette.
 There is no inconsistency between the statements and calculations of the Russellville DEMOCRAT and the Telegraph. WE said that, taking the figures given by the Finance Board and Gov. Miller as basis of calculation, as true, the saving of interest in THREE years would amount to only $3S, 1885, instead of s5,00O, as stated by Maj. Adams. The Russellville DEMOCRAT makes a calculation running through period of 30 years at the end of which time the new bonds are payable, and demonstrates very conclusively that the difference between the principle and interest of the present undis- puted indebtedness of the State and the $4,000,000 new bonds for which the Adams Red6eld syndicate pro pose to exchange it, would be $4ll, : 073; and we defy the editor of the Gazette, or any other man to dis prove the correctness of either ol these calculations. .--Hot Springs Telegraph.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-10-04

It has been shown by nndispu ted figures given through this paper through the Hot Springs Telegraph and by other sources that the asser tion that the State will save $S5,O0( by the adoption of the Adams Red field plan is false, but still the Ga zette nor any other Scaler has hao the fairness to come out and ex plain why they made this misrepre sentation. They simply took the people to be all "narrow-pated igno ramusses," and thought they coulo impose upon their ignorance.
 They will be foiled.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-10-04
The Gazette of the 3Oth ut. h

The Gazette o1 the Both ut. has letter from Hon. R. K. Garland, which it comments very highly, and by allowing the erroneous state ments thereln contained to go unno- ticed, endorses the same. The let ter, like most everything else that has yet appeared from the Scalers is full of error and misstatements. For instance MT. Garland says that it is acknowledged that the undispu- ted debt of the State is $4,000, ,000. This is NOT acknowledged, and those State officials who have access to all the figures and who are figuring on it make it (that is the portion which Messrs. Adams & Redfield include in their proposition) less than $3,- O0O,000. Again-Mr' Garland says for $4,00O,000 the HOLDERS OF THE JUST BONDS propose to deliver to the SuaLe ALL EVIDENCES OF HEX ENIihE INDEBTEDNESS PRIOR TO 1S74-save the Bonds held by the U. $. Govern ment. This again is an error, for there is not dollar of the outstand- ing Treasurer's warrants included.
 Neither have "the HOLDERS OF THE JUST BONDS" submitted any proposi tion at all to the State. The propo- sition accepted by the Finance Board is speculating dicker fixed up by Messrs. Adams & Redfield, who in their turn have an agreement with the bondholders, thus interpos- ing as middlemen between the Fiji nance Board and the States credit ors. The whole plan is defective, undignified and erroneous, and pub lie men like Mir. Garland would do well to post themselves before put ting themselves on record as favor ing it.

Small Farms.
