 Any one who has a sufficient ac- quaintance with the country between here and Little Rock to picture in their minds eye landscape of the valley as it was when the grading of the Little Rock and Fort Smith road was com- menced, and then compare 1t with the view to be obtained now by 8 run oyer the road, will readily realize the great progress that has been made within the past five years-the direct result of the building of the l.. R. & F. $. road. When there was then naught but un- broken forests and watery marshes, there are now all along the road live, active, growing towns at short inter- vals apart and the intervening country dotted all along with new farms and Improvements. All hail, therefore to the Little Rock and Fort Smith road, and it's efficient officers. Long may they flourish and prosper.
 Ut wasour good fortune to attend in company with J. K. Periman of our town, the gvand ball and Supper given by the Odd Fellows at Concordia Hall, Little Rock last Thursday night. Never have have we seen more en- joyable occashn-a happier reunion. It was an occason to be remembered for whole lifetime, and treasured up as one of the bright spots in the jour- ney adown thu flight of years. The old, the voing, the big, the lit- tle--ALL enjoyed themselves. The ban quet at midnight served by Mir. J. Menkus, was simply superb. To Dr. P. Brugman, H. s. Summeriield, w. II. Scott and T. c. Riley, we are under special obligations for efforts to make us feel at home on the occasion. The noble order will surely prosper and grow in favor and usefulness when composed of suh material as that of the Little Rock Lodges. fA
