The newspapers of Florence. Italy, contain
glowing accounts of the debit of a new Am r

Some Day.

Some Day.
By Isabella Grant Meredith.1
Some day shall be dead
Some day this tired head,
With all the anxious thoughts it now doth know
Shall be laid low
This body, pain-racked, i'll,
Shall lie at length, and still,
Under the clover and the wind-swept grass
Nor hear you pass.
That were, indeed strange sleep,
When even You might weep,
And come and gO-even yOu-unheard of me,
AS bird or bee.
Nay, sweetheart, nayI believe
Here = no cause to grieve.
One SO wayworn of trouble so opprest,
Is glad of rest.
Perchsnce, when that release
Hath wrought its spell Of peace,
O'er this unquet heart, long veXed with woe,
Heart's-ease may grow.
Who loves me will not weep
When that / lie asleep
But rather joy to think such sorrow may
Have end some day

Christmas Then and Now.
( RU Mrs. M p HnDdU.I

We used to hang up our stockings,
When i was q child, dear me;
Nor ever thought for moment
or having an Xmas tree.
Yon see we were ld-fashioned children,
Not wise little women and men;
st. Nicholas came down the chimney
We had wide-open fire. places then.
We went to bed in the twilight
To awaken ere yet it was dawn,
And empty with trembling fingers
The stockings on Xmas morn.
But now the tree with its tapers
Is lit on the Eve instead,
And hugging their Xmas presents
The little ones go to bed.
But then, pray where is the stocking
Could hold half the wonderful things
The triumphs of human invention
The modern Saint Nicholas brings?
Now cam takes the place of mis- reindeer,
Those fleet, fairy coursers of yore;
And since we have closed up the chimneys
He needs must come in at the door.

Prohibition in Arkan~as

The counties of the state being re-
qnircd to send to the secretary of
state the vote taken in each county
at every general election for and
against the Liquor license, returns
have arrived slowly. The state con-
tains sevcnty-four counties, aud sixty
two voted for license. The prohibi-
ton counties are Ashly, Columbia,
Franklin, Grant, Johnson, Logan,
Madison, Marion, Pope, st. Francis,
Washington and Woodruff. The to-
tai vote is, for license. IS. $50; against
license, 1904. The heaviest vote
for license was cast in the counties
where the colored people are most
numerous, nearly all that class going
against prohibition. Several months
ago it was understood prohibitory
amendments would be presented to
the legislature in the belief it could
be carried in the next election. But
it is improbable that the enemies of
prohibition will try to repeal the To-
cal option three 7mile law, which en-
ablcs small communities to exclude
liquor on the popular votc'-Van-
Buren, Press.
1904 votes worked up in favor
of prohibition in the short space OF
four years in Arkansaw, a state whose
people seemed to labor under the
impression was not habitable unless
the system was well fortified with
whisky, is not a bad showing by any
means. Older states farther adyane-
ed in civilization, and claiming a
higher standard of morality and in
telligence would hardly dare enter
into a competitive exhibit Of the pro-
grcss made in the cause of temper

keep it a-going, and twoyears hence,
the figures now representing TOR ana

A LETTER FROM Col. Dunn.
Forrest City, Ark, Oct. Tth. lS6.

Forrest City, Ark, Oct. 1th. 1882.
There are 27,000 democratic vot-
ers in this congressional district and
$4,000 republican voters, mostly
negroes.
The knowledge of this large ma
iority has begotten sense of securi-
ty and a feeling of apathy that en-
dangers the safety of our ticket. In
1873 only $3.50 democrats out of the
27, 800 in the district went to the
polls and voted for their candidate
for congress.
In 1880 the republicans resolved
to take advantage of this dangerous
state OF apathy and over confidence
by secretly running a candidate; and
they accordingly printed the name Of
John A. Johnson upon their tickets
and | roo of the negroes in the dis
trlct went to the polls and voted for
him. They will do the same thing
this year; and ii is evident that il our
democratic vote drops down to $500
in this district and similarly all over
the state, they will elect negroes TO
represent you in congress from this
district and the state at large. 1t is
therefore, very important and neces-
sary for you to go to the polls and
vote for your nominee on the 18th.

nestiy urge you to do, in order to
avoid such a humiliating result.

The sorrows and horI 0rs of a wife
with a drunken husband, or a mother
with drunken son, are as near the
the realization of hell as can be
reached in this world at least. The
shame, the indignation, the sorrow
and the sense of disgrace, for herself
and her children, the poverty, and
not unfrequently the beggary, the
fear and the fact of violence, the lin
gering lifelong trouble of countless
women with drunken husbands are
enough to make all women curse

it everywhere as the worst enemy to

In many portions Of the state corn

In many portions of the state corn
is so abundant that it is selling for a
mere song--twentv-Gve TO forty cts.
per bushel. But there is no good
reason why it should sell for triAe.
1t is an article that will keep very
well, and next year it may be worth
a dollar per bushel. Where farmers
have an abundance it is most eX-
cellent idea to keep over a supply in
case of a drought, overflow or some
other disaster next year.-Ex.
Wen bet our last summers duster
that the editor who pcnned the above
advise never raised a bushel of corn
on rented land in his life. 1t does
not matter what the keeping qualities
of corn may be, if a farmer Of limited
means owes for his supplies, it is not
likely the man who advanced him,
and kept him going during the sum
mer, will let him keep an overstock
of it Just to see if it wont be worth
dollar bushel next year. Oh no;
more than likely he wants his money,
ana the corn raiser, like the cotton
cropper, unless he has other sources
of income, must dispose of his crop
to the best advantage possible, and
trust to luck and next years seasons
for another supply. The holding
over plan applies only where one can
afford to do SO.

dustrial, mechanical and manufactu-
ring interests are fully represented,
and the Fair is reported as a grand
success. Mississippi county cannot

Arkansas Insane Asylum.

1t cannot be much longer said that
Arkansas has no proper place for
her insane element, for a most elc-
giant and well-planed and capacious
building is already nearing compile
ton; and when completed it will in
deed be most complete and cred
itatie structure-an honor to the
State, and to those who designed
and executed it.
The location is on an air line three
miles due west from the centre of
the city of Little Rock proper, ON
quite an elevated view, and the
building IS plainly visible from that
portion of the city known as Capitol
Hill, or from almost any locality in
the region Of Mount Holly Cemetery.
But the Asylum itself though from
the city it looks to be So is really
not located on a mountain, as you
can approach it by vehicle without
making any proceptible ascent, more
than up a gradually inclined plane;
and when you get there you will find
the building occupying the same
character of location standing upon
an eminenee that clearly overlooks
the city, and surrounded in the near
distance by valleys and ravines, but
not upon an abrupt or precipitous
hill or mountain. 1t is altogether a
most delightful and salubrious loca-
ton, and most refreshing in atmos-
pheric influence as well as inspiring
and elevaiing to thought in surround
ing scenery: calculated to restore the
mind from a sicklv to a healthful
action, and invigorate the body as
well.
1t is work of more honor and far
more honorable to plan and construct
an edihcc like the Arkansas Insane
Asylum, than TO conquer the nations
of the earth and destroy all the pub
| lie works of the world.
The building is l25 yards long
and four full stories high, of the most
solid brick, made of the best of dirt
obtained not more than fifty yards
distant from the main building; the
entire structure ailording about 300
complete rooms for inmates, the
whole building TO be furnished with
gas and warmed up with heated air,
manufactured and generated by suit
able apparatus and fixtures on the
premises, and all necessary outhous-
es and structures and appliances to
be furnished in the contract; and
when you look at the building and
see what it is and are told what it is
to be with all its convenience and
finish, and are then told that it all
costs less than 100000. you will in
deed be astonished. The ordinary
guess of the best informed and most
expert is that the whole concern fin
ished and delivered could not cost
less than 100000. That was our
guess, and we were told that it was
the ordinary one.
Now, it remains for our Legisla-
| ture, and State Government and
State press, TO foster and nourish this
institution, not only as a public ne
cessity, but as the real pride and
glory of our State and people. And
it will be done. 1t is a work of es-
sential humanity, that has been long
delayed might say shamefully so
but now that it is in hand and the
main starting work almost finished,
a publie-spirited and patriotic and
truly humane people will see to it
| that there is no falling back no re-
trogradation-for want of proper
succor and suPply.-[Arka Rep.
