SATURDAY. MARCH 4, 1882.
VOLUME TX, NO. 1.

Eight years ago this week the Ex-
change came into existence under its
present management. 1t was estab>
lished with the intention of making it
permanent enterprise of the town,
and with the purpose to work for the
best interests of the town and sur
rounding country. How well we
have performed our self-imposed duty
we leave our readers to judge. No
doubt we have committed errors; we
know we have not pleased everybody.
We can honestly, say though, that we
have never Intentionally wronged any
human being through these columns.
What is more, we never shall. A
newspaper, according to our notion,
is not the place or vehicle through
which to vent the personal feelings of
its editor. Our object is to impartial.
ly publish the news as it occurs, and
not be the organ of any creed, clique
or sect. Our ambition is to publish a
good local paper-one which will be
welcomed in every family of the town
and tributary country. Whatever
public measure we shall advocate, the
reader may know they are the honest
convictions of the editor. Will the
people help us to make the paper a
greater success? Every business and
profession in the town ought to be
represented in our columns-even if
it should be only in the shape of a
three line card. Several of our mer-
chants are liberal advertisers, and they
are doing prosperous, healthy bust
ness. They are publicspirited enter.
prising, valuable citizens, and. deserve
a still! more liberal patronage. But
there are others who do not seem to
appreciate the value of newspaper
to the town, and consequently to them.
If the paper is any advantage to the
town at all, it helps every one in it to
greater or lesser degree. They get
part of the benefit without any of the
expense. Is it fair? We honestly
believe that, if every man in town
would do his duty by his home paper,
he would make money by the invest.
ment. 1t would advertise the town
abroad as the Invest in the state. 1t
would attract attention to us, and
would be the means of bringing many
more people here. We need more
manufacturers and farmers, and a
newspaper can do much toward bring
ing them to town-it it is supported.
We do not wish to be understood as
grumbling at our people. We have
a good citizenship, and they are Civ
ing the paper living-which is bet
ter than many towns do. But we
wish to see the town grow and i'm,
prove; we would like to see everybody
in it prosper; and we believe this is
one way to secure it. Will you do it?

The nomination of Roscoe COnkling
for Judge of the Supreme court by
the President almost took the breath
of the dignifed U. S. Senators. We
are not at all surprised. We have
seen, as we think, tor some time past
a "stalwart of the stalwart" move>
ment of the administration. 1t is
cropping out all over the country in
little one-horse postoffices and other
minor appointments.

The Milan Exchange announces
that j. M. Meals, Esq, is assessing
property in that district. We are
glad to know the taxpayers of that
city are able to have their Meals with
uneerring regularity. Ga,
zette.
Thank you, neighbor. We are also
glad to say that our Taxpayers, al
though they don't always realish their
Meals, are generally prompt and
punctual in settling the bill.

The Morrilton (Ark.) Headlight

The Morrilton (Ark.) Headlight,
commenting on the 1908 decision of
our Supreme Court, uses the following
language, which we think is a little
too strong, although it may look
that way to an outsider. We are
not prepered to believe the low tax
wing of the party is ready to take so
fatal step: "The next Legislature,
we prophesy, will be low tax, and
the whole debt will be repudiated.
Such action would be perfectly in
harmony with the former action OF
the low tax wing of the Democratic
party in that state. They do not
want to settle the State debt at any
price, but simply to keep it before
the people to ride into office on"

"The rose IS red, the viOlet's blue,
Pinks are pretty, and so are you"
The rose is red, my rosy dear:
But that you hardly yet can know,
Since you have only been with us
Four OF the times when roses blow.
The violet's blue, my blue-eyed love;
Yet that, perhaps, you hardly knew,
Since You have only passed four times
The vfolets In their hoods OF blue.
Tho pinks are pretty, baby queen,
And SO are you; but that, also,
From being here so short a Time
Perhaps you've hardly LEARNED to know.

H0tU the Bey Of Tunis Lices.
[London Spectator.

The palaces of the Bey are splendid and
incongurous; the Bardo, an hour from the
capital, is fine sample of Oriental archi-
lecture and decoration, spoiled by Partisan
upholstery and vulgar European carpets.
Dar-el-Bey, his only town residence, is
magnificent and neglected; his real abode
is in separate building, walled, and stand
ing in garden, near the Bardo. He goes
to the Bardo once week to sit in judg-
ment on his subjects, and receive the am
bassadors and consuls of the great powers:
and then there is brief stir, and the court
presents stately picture. ''It is, however,
only an external brilliancy and it cannot
deceive the visitor as to the misery reign
ing within the Moorish empire" Mahomsd
Els Sadock Pasha Bey is an amiable
enough prince, by all accounts, fond of
children, but childless, and very simple in
his habits. He has only one wife, and
though he pays her formal visit of an
hours duration at her castle every day, he
rarely sees her, as the hour of his visit is
generally one appointed for devotion, and
on his arrival he goes to small room in
the palace to pray.
He is supposed to know nothing of the
management of his possessions; before him
all is splendor, behind his back all is des-
olate ruin. Whichever of his palaces he
shall die in will be dismantlea and left to
decay, for Bey must not live in a palace
in which a predecessor has died. None of
them mas had himself transported into
the street on death approaching, and there
are more than dozen palaces in Tunis
to-day which cannot be used by the Beys.
A melancholy example of this absurd Gus
| tom is Mahomedia, once the magnificent
residence of Achmet Bey, who had it built
thirty five years ago, at cost of 100000
francs. This palace, with its secondary
buildings and villas for ministers and dig
nitaries, was situated two miles out OF
town; and when Achmet Bey died the fur
niture was moved, the floors, glazed tiles
doors, and windows were broken out an6
dragged to another palace. The heavy
marble columns, statues, the curbes of tn,
wells,ete remained behind with the waiIs,ant
he who passes those imposing ruins to-da,
might think thousands of years had passed
over them. The hand of the Arab destroy
thus in our day in the midst of peace, al
his ancestors, the Vandals, did centurie
ago, only in time of war. So much fo
Oriental culture!
