A MEMORIAL.

To the General Assembly of the State of
Arkansas.
Your memorialists. members Of the 5th
and 18th judicial circuits of the state of
Arkansas, respectfully represent;
That under the judicial system Of this
state, and the arrangement OF the Judicial
circuits thereof, the rapid accumulation of
litigated cases upon the dockets in many
counties, convinces US that some change
must speedily be effected, in order that
the courts may accomplish or subserve
the purposes Of their organization.
That, in the opinion of your NJ s.norial-
lists, the failure to determine this great
number of causes results from no inefi-
cheney of the several circuit judges, but
rather from the great increase of our pop
ulation, as also from the complicated ju-
ris1ictions now exercised by said courts.
That a longer continuance of the pres
ent condition of affairs will not only result
in great detrinent to suitors and litjgauts
generally, but will perpetuate the labors
of the circuit judges, already so onerous
as to preclude the enjoyment by them Of
any respite. a.. I'll. ,.
That both evils cannot be cured by any
enlargement Of the time allotted for hold
ing courts, in the several counties, and
neither would be materially bettered.
That the creation of additional judicial
circuits might give relief both to the
courts and litigants to some extent but
your memoriansts believe the adoption of
different constitutional method prefera.
BILE.
Thot by the establishment of separate
chancery courts, your memorialists believe
that the greatest good can be effected.
|. Because it will secure speedy justice
to suitors. .'.... 49,.
.. Because it will relieve the circuits Of
a considerable burthen, and enable them
to promptly dispose of their criminal and
common law dockets.
8. Because with the rapid growth of
our commonwealth and the advance in
value of property, chancery business will
increase shortly to an extent which will
make the establishment Of these courts a
matter of necessity, and not aquestion of
expediency or policy.
4 That if the cost of justice be cal.u-
lated in determining the adoption of this
system, 1t can be successfully demonstrat-
ed that the citizen will pay no more for
the administration of law than he les
now.
AT meeting of the bar of the 5.h and
18th judicial circuits, held at Paris, in
Logan county, Ark, it was resolved on
motion that the foregoing memorial be
furnished to the Paris Express and the
Little Rock Gazette and Democrat, with
the request that they and all papers in
the state publish the same.
And on motion it was further resolved
that the circuit judges and members of
the bar throughout the state be requested
to take action in some appropriate way
on the subject matter of said memorial.

When the business men of a town fail
to advertise extensively, they diminish the
Importance and trade Of the place, and
permit more enterpriSing localities to take
the latter from them. Although done
for their individual interest, advertisers
should be looked upon by the citizens of
the town where they reside as, in some
sense, public benefactors, and they should
be encouraged accordingly. The merchant
who advertises extensively is worth in mis-
own town more than forty who never show
themselves in print and should for this
reason be preferred, assuming that he is,
