Fayetteville Sentinel If subserlb-
ers to newspapers, generally, knew how
important it is to publishers 10 nave
each individual subscription paid at the
proper time, they would set down IN
their memorandum book the date when
a fresh year begins, and would be as
prompt as the payment OF note III
bank, in meeting it. 1t is true that SO
small a sum as few dollars is not much
perhaps in the eyes of ninety-nine IN
hundred subscribers, but the aggregate
of several hundred, any one can estl-
mate aud Judge what it may be to any
publisher engaged in active business
Now, don't smile at this and forget 1t, but
sit right down and enclose your arreara-
ages at once Do not pretend not to
know the amount, but send years sub
scription, and ask for statement OF
your account.

have been to the city of Little Rock re
Gently we ascertain that Hon. James l..
Denton in his administration OF the dut-
les pertaining to the position of Superin-

golden opinions and is coming up to the
highest expectations ofh most sanguine
friends. We are glad to see all OF our

Mr.. Denton being from our most immed

Spirit of Arkansas The Fort Smith
railway takes the tide of immigration
now. Well, who can wonder? 1t is a
beautiful country along the line of the
road, and immigrants are treated with
every courtesy both at the land office,
and by all the employees of the road.
We heard Mr.. Converse, the president,
and Capt. Hartman give orders that all
new eomers must be treated better if
possible than other passengers. We
think that hardly possible, however, but
it is no wonder that the road is success
full with such officers.
Little Rock Democrat If every man
IN Arkansas had, as capital, to commence
the new year with, the money which he
has spent toolishiy, during the last year,
we should all of us, or nearly all Of us,
be in much better condition.
A matter well worthy Of serious con.
sideration.
