 We publish elsewhere Col. D's let ter rendering the trip to the Arkan- sas Press Association, and giving a brief outline of the excursion.
 We feel that we but utter the sen timent of every editor in Arkansas, when we say that the editorial fra ternity Of the State is under a debt of gratitude to Col. Donan for bis kind remembrance and successful efforts to afford them rare treat, and that he will have the heartiest thanks of one and all.

CLARK TOWNSHIP SCRAPS

Corn, cotton and oats look finely; wheat not so good.
 There is to be found on almost ev- cry farm improved agricultural inn plcments, which is a demonstration of the fact that our farmers are de- termined to keep up with the times and be second to none.
 Our township officers have but lit tie official business to attend to, which goes to prove that Clark town ship IS filled up with good, moral and law abiding people--people who att tend to their own business and let others business alone.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS
 DUE.

Col Donan, of the Bentonville Ad- vance, has been absent from Arkan- sas for some months, but he has not forgotten his toiling, Ink begrimmed brothers of the quill in Arkansas. Like the true Knight he has been thinking of us during his rambles through the great North-West. Some weeks ago we received from the Rol- lins Publishing Company, at his re- quest, q handsome little volume en- titled the Golden Northwest" giving q vivid description of the wondrous growth of that magnificent scope of country, so justly deserving that ti- tie, and we then thought how happy Donan must be rolicking and frolick- ing amidst the romantic charms of that land of lakes and dclls and prairies and forests and magnificent cities; and we wondered if our ge- nial Donan wouldn't get stifr nccked and proud, and forget hls brothers mink in his adopted State, amidst all the pleasures and delights of such q delightful trip.
 But instead of forgetting us what do we now find? Why, that Donan is the "noblest Roman of them all, ;" the truest of the true; and that in stead of forgetting us he has been thinking of us all the time, and has even undertaken to procure the pleas ure and instruction and recreation of a trip through this Golden North west" Tor each and every member of the craft in Arkansas and to height en the pleasures of the excursion he has even arranged il so that we can take our wlyee, oul sweetheaEts, and

ACCORDING TO GUNTER. 1"

According to Gunter, of Arkansas, it is the duty of the Democrats to anchor their feet in the Capitol and remain there until the President re. pents in sack-cloth and ashes and approves the bill as passed. IfGun- ter's advice is followed he can en- gage boarding untll,his time expires, and send for his summer clothes s.-- Cincinnati Commercial.
 According to Gunter" it IS the duty of Democrats to stand as long in defense of, the constitutional rights of the people, as the Fraud in the White House deems it profitable to attempt to assail or override them. MT, Gunter made one of the soundest and most manly speeches that has been delivered on the army bill, and if his advice IS followed we will not only have ''peace at the polls" but liberty and justice.- Washington Post.
 "According to Gunter" is just precisely the way the democrats of Arkansas want to see the thing done. In behalf of the people of our State, we thank our able Congress- man, Col. Gunter, for his able and manly speech.

THE STATE FAIR.

The State fair movement, notwith- standing the efforts of some few to throw cold water on it by denounc- ing such affairs as 'Iockeying, horse racing concerns" is booming There IS zealous work being done by many of the public spirited gentlemen oi Little Rock, and a spirit of deter minatlon which will bring success is manifest. It is no longer q question of doubt as to whether we will have fair this fall or not. The only question that now demands atten- is,-What kind of fair will it be? The answer to this question must depend to very great extent upon the degree of interest and the amount of cooperation given to the movement by the people of the State at large-the farmers principally. And here let us ask the few who ob- ject to State fairs on the ground that they are nothing but 'jockeying, horse-racing concerns" why it is that this is thus? and let us suggest to them that if they will give their cooperation to the movement and aid to induce farmers of the State to send in exhibits of their farm pro- ducts, instead of objectlng and de-
 nouncing the movement there will be no cause for complaint. Our State fair should be largely agricul- tural in it's make up, We have a country where agriculture is the chief following 1.-the people. Hence

MORTGAGES.


 Scarcely day passes without the question at our counter: "Have you any crop mortgages?" Scarcely q mail without letters saying: "Send me a quire of crop mortgages" Of course we have the crop mortgages" and sell them, but we never sell one without the reflection that it will be a blessed day for Arkansas-a day which ought to be celebrated with bonfres, illuminations and public processions-should it ever come when the crop mortgage-this yer table indenture of slayery-shall be a thing of the past. It is ruinous to the merchant, rulnous to the farmer, ruinous to all classes, colors, and con. ditions.-L. k. Democrat.
 Exactly so, Bro. Mitchell, but how is the thing to be stopped. The people are behind-hayn't the money to ''pay as they go," and they say they cannot work and make crop without something to eat and to wear. And then the merchant cannot afford to issue his supplies out to Tom, Dick and Harry with out making his debt secure. The collection laws of the State are such that he cannot collect debt by law, and hence there is no other safe plan for him to pursue only to take q mortgage.
 We have argued that our farmers should use better management make more of their own supplies at home and stop depending upon the store for everything; that they should use more frugality and live within their means; but this advice is scof- fed at, and some who pretend to be the farmers best friend and adviser tell them that we are insulting the "poor farmers" when we use this argument.
 Well, let both plans be tested-let one man take our advice, and another try tho mortgage plan, and see who will come out the better.

We should show what we can do here by making a grand display of the products of farm labor. The city of Little Rock cannot get up an agri- cultural fair. The farmers of the State must take a hand in it or it will necessarily be q failure.
 We sincerely trust that every county h the state has public-spirit cd farmers enough to see that there shall be on exhibition at our State fair this fall full samples of what the soil of Arkansas will do; and espe- cially do we appeal to the pride of the farmers of Pope county to be wide awake in this matter. Our county has never been properly req resented at the State fairs heretofore held at Little Rock. We trust it will be different this year.
 Let this county and all the other counties up the Arkansas river val ley commence now in time and be prepared this fall to prove by indis- putable evidence that which is true that we have the best portion of the State. We have the Ft. Smith road to transport our exhibits to the fair, (also the river) and there is nothing to keep us from making g display which will be the grandest advertisement that could possibly be devised for our section of the State.

LANDS SUBJECT TO DONA-
 TON.

We publish on our first page a complete list of all the lands appear ing on the records in the State Land Commissioners office, now subject to disposal or sale under the Dona. tion act. Parties who intend to avail themselves of the opportunity to take these lands, should, before purchase ing or donating the same, ascertain by an examination of the records at the County Clerks office if there has been no mistake made Tn certifying to the list of forfeited lands-also by examination of the records at the land office at Dardanelle whether or not some of the lands may not be pubic lands of the United States: for, as the Land Commissioner said in his letter which we published about two weeks ago, it is not un- frequently the case that lands are certified to him enormously. The list will be valuable in enabling land owners to correct any errors of this kind which may have been made. All that is necessary to understand the description given below is to re- member that whole section com prises GAO acres-so that one letter, thus, Ei 36, means east half of sec tion 36, or 320 acres; two letters, thus, N E l 36, means 16O acres; three letters, thus, E N ", means east half of northwest quarter, or so acres; four letters, thus, N E N E 36, means 40 acres: five letters, thus, E } NE S E, means 20 acres.
