---------------- - COL. w. ID. SI,ACK.

This gentleman is the Land Com missioner for the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway. He is Tn on sense of the word slack or slack twist ed a. his name indicates, but double twisted, energetic, go-a-head man in settling up the lands of Arkansas, and has done more in that respect than all the immigration societies in the State. He has planted colonies of Germans, Polanders, and others along the route of the Railway. He has causad the "desert places to bud and blossom as the rose," and is still at work with zeal and energy that IS untlring, and that no other man has ever exhibited in the State; and if our Legislature will give him aid and encouragement he will have the whole country along the line, and as far as the land grant extends, settled np with population that have will, muscle and money to subdne and open the wild lands in the State To look back and see what he has accomplished Tn less than four years, we are lost in ainazement and won dor. He has expended large sums of money to carry out his immigra tion scheme. He neither spares pains nor expense to accomplish his purpose of filling Arkansas with an intelligent and hard working ener- getic class of farmers. W. D. SLACK, yes, hurrah for Col. W. D. SLACK.
 The above is from the Fort Smith Independent. We reproduce because it is but simple act of justice to ac- knowledge our appreciation of the great exertions made by Col. Slack in behalf of immigration of our State. And in this connection we would also say that full mede of praise is also due Superintendent Hartman and General Passenger and Ticket Agent Bennett, both of whom have always exerted them. selves to extend the utmost civilities to new corners who have visited this section of our State. With such men as Slack, Bennett and Hartman working for this section of the State we are certain to secure the lion s share of all immigrants who come to Arkansas.

commcnce the manufacture of our own raw material, for 1t is now clear to all minds which have given the matter any thought that the profs is made by the manufacturer and not by the producer of the raw material.
 From the Junction City (Kan- sas) Union we take the suhjoined paragraph referring to Prof. Wm. $. Speer, who will be readily remember ed as the efficient principal of Gum Log Chapel school. We are glad to see that the ability and scholarly attachments of Prof $. are recogniz- ed and appreciated in his new home, and that he has found such a grand field for making himself useful
 Junction City has just been favor ed with another valuable acquisition to it's society and educational inter ests in the person of Prof. William s. Speer, father of Prof. H. c. Speer, principal of the Junction City Nor mai School and superintendent of the city public schools. He came to take position in our normal school and has already assumed the chair of natural science and theory of edu- cation. He will also be known as the senior principal, Prof H. c. Speer assuming the position of as sistant. The senior principal will devote his entire time to the normal school, giving it the benefit of his long and successful experience as an instructor in public, normal and academical schools. Nearly hls whole life has been devoted to this business, and as an evidence of his superior merits as an instructor we have only to point to his son, Prof. H. c. Speer, who learned the science of teaching from his father.

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS,

Landlords should not permit their tenants to rent and attempt to culti- vate more than they can cultivate thoroughly. Over-cropping is the bane of the country--it ruins the land owner, the farmer, the merchant, and the renter. A renter should never be allowed to plant more cot ton than he can pick out with his own force. Keep up fences so that your renter or cropper can have no excuse for short crops or refusing to pay rent. Give them the best houses you can afford with plenty of good pure water. The better the buildings, fences, pastures, and other needfnl accommodations the better will be the class of renters you will have.--Atkins News.
 If all landlords would heed such hints as the above and govern them. selves accordingly, the farm products of the country would be largely in creased, and the failures among land owners would be less frequent.
 There is another point in addition to the above which we think it would be well for landlords to notice. It is this: Renters frequently run up store accounts which exceed the full worth of the crop long before the crop is made. In such eases there is no incentive for the renter to remain on the land and gather his crop, and in many cases he lays around and leaves it for the land owner and merchant to take hold ol 1t and make their rent and store bills out of the crop if they can.
 If land owners would watch the progress of the renters crops, ard see that tenants do not incur store accounts amounting to more than the crop will be worth when gath cred, they would thereby remove a | frequent cause Tor renters abandon ing their crops and leaving them for the land owner to gather
 It IS due the merchaDke%ho sup. plies the renter and enables him to make the crop, that the land owner should keep the merchant thus sup plying his tenants posted and pro. tect him from loss.
 It is a question fit would not be better for the land owner to become directly responsible for all supplies furnished tenants; for, he, having everything right under his own sight could always tell exactly how far to let renters go with store and supply accounts.

FENCES.

Will not the present Legislature give the subject of fences in Arkan- sas some consideration? To sa ag- ricultural people, especially where the people are trying to both cnlti- vate the soil, and at the same time raise some stock, it is a matter of first importance that there should be wise statutory provision in regard to fences. Where stock is permit ted to run at large, as it is Ill this State, it is absolutely indispensable to the peace of neighborhoods, and for the avoidance of feuds between stock owners and crop growers, tsat there should be law clearly defin- ing the rights af each, and providing for tue arbitration or other adjust ment of all differences between the two.
 There is no encouragement for any person to try to raise stock, es- peciallv of valuable or improved breeds, if man with twelve dollar and . half crop, with two and a half rail high fence around it, IS per mitted to shoot, cripple and main stock, which, enticed by the waving grain, may step over the dilapidated excuse for a fence. And on the other hand it is discouraging and exasper- ating to man who has worked hard to make good crop, and has it we'll fenced, to have breachy stock des- troy the fruits of his labor
 There has been no little trouble in our county about this matter, and no little hard feeling has been engen- dered by the logging, shooting and maiming of stock. The matter has been discussed in our granges for the past year, and one of our best citizens and most enterprising farm. CTS and stock raisers, informed us few days ago, that the conclusion reached was that the best thing that could be done would be for the pres ent legislature to pass wise and just Statute requiring every farmer to have good and sufficient fences, and providing for the adjudication of all controversies and damages which may arise from breaking of fences by loose stock.
 We call the attention of the pres ent legislature to this matter, and remind them that they can legis- late on no subject more profitable than something to advance the agri- cultural interests of the State,
 We see the Committee on agricul. ture is composed of gentlemen from fine agricultural and stock counties, and perhaps that Committee could prepare bill which would be satis- factory and just to both stock-own CTS and crop growers.

PUBLIC. ECONOMY.

'
 Arkansas is in debtl Every coun. ty in the State, with perhaps not more than two or three exceptions, is in debt There is mountain of in dividual indebtedness resting upon 2 a large number of the people of the State.
 Times are hard. Money is scarce The price of all farm and field prod nets is low and unremunerative. We seem to have got right down to hard pan, and if ever there was time fol economy it is right now.
 All classes of people feel the pres sure and are economizing in there private expenses.
 Do our Legislators, now convened at the capital, realize that there is an imperative duty resting upon them to exercise the strictest econo- my in our public affairs alse? From the way they start out we fear they do not.
 The taxpayers of the State pay about one thousand dollars per day to meet expenses of . session of the Legislature. Allowing that the daily eaec;ona n ra civ ho,,ro lonu ;t one+ i, tue people one hundred and sixty six dollars per hour for every hour. Members should remember that ev- cry minute they consume in talking costs the people about two dollars and 6 half. Now let this be borne in mind, and let both houses come right down to business, and cease all fool ishness. Tine taxpayers of the State expect ali unnecessary expenses to be Topped of, and they will renem- Der the names of members who show disposition to squander their mon ey. If members want stamps and papers the people have no objection, provided they go down into their own pockets and pay for.them out of their big SIX dollars per diem salary. If the constituents of members want newspapers it will be much cheaper for them to subscribe for them and let the publishers prepay the postage, as they are required to do, than to have the cost, postage, and all, ad- ded to thelr taxes. Then what right has member to take ten or twenty copies of paper and stamps for same, and say the State shall pay for it? It is all wrong, and no matter how small thing it may appear to be, it should be stopped. The amount ta- ken out of the treasury this way each session would pav-the Govern or's salary proper for one full term.
 Legislating, at best, is an expens i've business, and he is the best friend to Arkansas and to the taxpayers of Arkansas, who remembers our inn poverished condition, the hard times, and the difficulty with which many taxpayers meet the demands of the collector, and works for a judiclous economy in public affairs.

FROM KANSAS.
GALEsBuRe NEosHo Go, KANSAS

EhOM AANSAS.
 GALEsBURG NEosHo Co., KANSAS.
 Mir. Editor, please send me copy of your paper as l think of moving to Arkansas, and think your county would suit me; would like to know what land can be got for, and if there is any good Railroad land for sale; would like to know if there is any Real Estate Agents in your town. Send to Galesburg Neosho Co.,, Kansas. A. EATON.
 Replying to the above letter of in qulry we will state that land can be got in Arkansas as cheap and on as easy terms as in any other state. In Pope county (this county ) the price ranges from $2 to $l0 per acre for upland, or table and hill lands, and from SS to $25 for the rich, banning river and Creek bottom lands-ow- ing altogether to their distance from the railroad and the state of inn provement and cultivation.
 The Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad owns large area of land in our county and embraced in the plats of land belonging to the road are some choice tracts. The Com pany disposes of it's lands on very reasonable prices and gives the pur- chaser six years to complete pay ments. The Land Department of the road, under the management of Con- missioner Slack, one of the most obliging gentlemen in the state, af- lords home seekers the most liberal opportunities, and spares no pains to show their lands. All letters asking for information addressed to Col. Slack at Little Rock will receive courteous replies.
 Mir. James Potts, addressed at Russellville Pope O., Arkansas, is a local Agent for lands of the Compa- ny Tn this section, and he, also, SO licits correspondence Tn regard to lands.
 There are private Real Estate Agents also, having lists of deeded lands for sale. Messrs Wilson and Howell, and L. w. Davis, of this place, as will be seen from their cards in the columns of the DEMO GRAF are in the real estate business and will give prompt attention to any letters addressed to them In re- gard to lands.
 There is now healthy flow of i'm migration up the line of the Fort Smith road. The new corners are from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Kansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, mostly, and with only isolated ex- captions all who have come to this part of the state are pleased and contented.
 Our section of the state is destln. ed to become the garden spot of Ar kansas. All new comers who are worthy, industrious people are wei comed. We need an additional sup ply of both active, willing muscle, and also capital. If new corners can bring stock with them and means enough to run them year, so much the better. We want no more lazy men in Arkansas. It has been a great State, this, for lazy men, but the time has arrived when we want active, live, energetic men.
 We have no doubt our county will suit you, but before you break up your home where you now are we advlse you, as we advise all men seeking new homes, to make a run down to our county and see for your self.
