The disposition 20 add to ones
business new lines Of goods, or as
the expression is, branch out IN dit
lerent lines Of trade, is one hard to
bo resisted. As a matter of fact,
however, the average business man
of to-day devotes himself TO much
narrower limit than the average
business man Of any preceding age.
1t may be therefore assumed that
those who follow the opposite
course and throw overheard line
after line of goods to give more at
tention TO the lines they have left,
are really following the course most
in harmony with the spirit Of the
age and most likely in the end to be
really profitable. There are lhous-
ands OF merchants throughout the
length and breath Of the land, who
are carrying stocks Of various goods
on which their profits do not pay
the interest on the Investment, to
say nothing ofa profit for the trou-
bic. We believe in novelty stores
and in stores devoted TO every line
Of goods from thrcshlrg machines
to fish hooks, but We do not think
any great good comes in the mix
ing them all in one."-[ ES.
The above speaks our sentiment
TO dot. There are too many mixed
stocks IN our town. If bat one line
OF goods were handled the dealer
could carry more complete stock,
and besides giving him a larger
profit Il would allow other men to
invest and make something out OF
the goods that he is handling at Il
loss. 1t would increase the num-
Der of business houses 1t would
stop half Of the merchants from
buying and selling cotton, and in
stead would call for a dealer in that
staple, who like the cora merchants
ofthe North, would handle nothing
else, and would pay the cash for
Just what cotton can be bought, and
not have to take it to save crop
mortgage and thereby loose money.
1t would also sop vast amount
of the credit business upon which
the merchant is generally Iooser.
- Ark. Co. Democrat.
True, too true, every word Of it.
How often have we argned IN favor
of such system here in Osce0ln,
only TO be met with the sncering
remark, " Well RCussan, you may
be pretty good printer, but you
don't know anything about mcr'
chandizing, if so.und SO can sell q
certain line of goods and make
money, | can, because | can get the
same goods on credit, or what is
still hotter on commission 10.
day, We see the beginning Of tho
sad results of this "loosc and fast D
method of doing business. We
don't expect, even now, that advice
on this subject will be acceptable
but it don't cost us anything, and
we give 1t for what it's worth.

GA few of the counties IN the
State are represented by men who
are really opposed to any law re-
stricting the manufacture or sale OF
liquor IN the State. These few,
seeing the bent Of the majority, to
defeat or at least cripple this, an al
most indomltable foe to Arkansas
well beng, dare not oppose it down
right, so they have offered amend
menls, snch MS, TO leave it TO the
vote Of townships or counties. If
the few succeed in getting the
amendment TO leave it 10 the vo,e
of the dilerent counties they will
be satisfied, TOR in many portions OF
the state this will prove nolbing less
than a defeat of the real desigos oil
the bill. For instance, in pcg,ly
every county IN Eastern Arkansas
they will vote for liquor every pop.
Besides beng fine source Of reyo.

whisky turns out the landsomest

on. The people viii spend their
money for Vh'skey, and If they can't
get 1t in their own county, they will

II. Ihis viii carry money, and q
large amount OF il, out of the coun-
~, aud It'll lbc fear Of this, that the
adjoining county will get the reve
tue, that will make each county
vote "ior liquor" Let it come to
a vote aud the people of Lee coun-
ly will say Should we vote 'uo
Eq1or' and Phillips vote for H.
quot, the whislley money of Lee
would go to Phillips, and if they
will have it, let the money be spent
at home so the temperance men
view It. Put whiskey away from
the State, impress the youth OF the
land that it is to be dreaded, and IN
the next generation will be found
a marked decrease IN the number
of drunhards and crime"
In view of the many conflicting
interests connected with the tenn
peranco question. the resolution
adopted by the House of rcprcsen-
tatives, submitting a proposed
amendment TO the constitution, pro
hibitlng the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic liquors, is, no doubt,
The best means yet proposed to
solve the temperance question, aAd
effectuaIy settle the matter. The
class OF citizens for whom the adop-
ton Of this amendment would be
most directly beneficial, will be the
very last to recognize and acknowl
edge the fact; and, we fear, that
they constitute a aiority, and that
when the time comes for voting on
sud amendment, will be found vot
ing solid against it, or not voting al
all, which will be the same thing
