A Chapter In Mason ry.
RussELLvILLE, May s, 1883.

Editor Russellville Democrat:
see you have writers for your
paper from all parts of Pope county
and none of them write anything on
the lovely subject of Masonry. If
you will please give space for this
little scrap on Masonry it will great
ly sblige friend.
While perusing the printed pro.
ceedines of the different grand
lodges that have come to my notice
l have observed that in nearly every
instance that they have subordinate
lodges that either from their exhibit
of work or neglect of returns show a
lack Of interest -indifierenc is per-
haps a better word-to the welfare
of Masonry. Judging from such
exhibit of work and returns one Is
led to think that Masonry is at a
very low ebb in that particular vi.
cinity; while noticing that defect l
am led to inquire whether the cause
lies in the brethren or their officers,
or what is more probable, both.
My experience has been that a
real simon pure man cannot be made
out of a block head any more than a
real simon pure Mason can be made
out of the same material. 1t nature
has deprived one Of certain intellect
ual abilities, education may perhaps
in o manner remedy; but it cannot
wholly supply the deficiency. II one
has none of the essential qualilica-
tions OF true manhood in him for
Masonry to perform the miracle Of
making true man out of him.
Brains cannot be placed where there
is no place to put them. The sim
pie act of becoming q member of our
institution does not make bona
iide Mason, only as far as name is
concerned, any more than the act of
joining Christian church will make
n Christian out OF one. In both in
stances they must have the essen
tial qnaliications--the essence Of
true manhood they are only
Masons or Christians in name and
not in fact, deed, or principle. Ely
cry one that has studied Masonry
knows full well that each and every
one Of her maxims, truths or lessons
tends toward spiritual and mental
elevation of its votaries. They also
know that Masonry requires moth

THE PRESENT CROP PROS
Poets,

So far as has been heard from the
prospect for full crop of everything
except fruit, and there will be q
reasonable crop of fruit. The farm
ers in our immediate section, accord
ing to our correspondents, and the
reports of those farmers with whom
we have talked, are in fine spirits,
and have their crops in good condi-
ton. We are told that there is not
a good stand of cotton. The best
cotton we ever saw, and as fine a
yield per acre as we ever saw, was
where it was thought when it come
up, that there was not more than
half crop. Que difficulty in farm
ing is, that some farmers attempt to
grow too much ON the ground, or on
certain qualities of soil. They do
not study the strength OF the soil
they cultivate, and put too much on
certain land of certain crops, and the
result is puny crop. A large
healthy product is far preferable to a
sickly, fatty one. Some men want a
great many ears Of corn from a very
small compass of ground, when it
appears to us that half the number
in many instances would contain the
same amount ofsubstance, and other
wise be preferable on account of
being more easily handled 1t is
evident that just simply a sufficient
number of cotton or corn plants to
take up the substance Of the space
occupied, and no more, is enough;
and it seems that the product will be
a superior quality.
The wheat crop is not so promis-
ing as at this time year ago, but
it is far better than was expected a
month earlier The price Of flour
will not be materially effected by the
fall off in the crop.
The oat crop is at present promis-
ing a very abundant yield. This
country is not very eminently adapt
ed TO oats, but more could be pro
duced--and proftably too-than the
farmers see fit TO plant.
The prospect for hay is ino indeed,
The hay growing. states arc expect

HOT SPRlNGSi May oFu, 1909.
Dear Democrat:
All travelling correspondents start
out by saying that they "boarded
the train" at q certain time and
place. Well, did not board any
train, but simply got into a coach
and came gliding along just as fast
as the engine drew the coach. | left
Russellville-of course left the town
because could not have brought
it along if desired,-I left Russell
vile then May the lst and reached
Little Rock the same day. | had
not been on the train but little
while when | met pusher of the
quill, and in few minutes / was ac-
quainted with half dozen of the
why knights of the quill. AT At
kins the Pope County Reflector got
on the same coach with us and
another knight spoke the necessary
words for our introduction, and we
found the old gentleman to be genial
and facetious. At Morrillton the
Headlight, with his better half was
taken on. He does not say much
and those acquainted with him say
it is on account of having been sat
down on by the legislature. At
Conway all the quill force of the
town joined us and we had lively
party which increased in number till
we reached our destination. In due
time we reached the depot at Argen
Ia, and had almost a race to the riv-
err, distance of a quarter of mile,
every one striving to be first on a
skiif to be conveyed 60 the city.
When we landed on the Little
Rock side of the river we climbed up
the banks into the city and began
at once TO take in "the Rock" AT
ter we had gone through the city and
viewed to our hearts content the
principle things Of attraction, we
went to the Gleason hotel, where
we were honored with special rates
and treated as if we had been kings
and presidents. Here it was soon
demonstrated that an editor has u
weakness, and by the use Of a little
liquid fire and distilled damnaton,
he can be made say great many
foolish things, lie on chairs and
benches and sleep and "slobber'
like dog. At one o'clock in the
night we left Gleasons hotel for Nal
vern. The train was crowded to
oyerilowing, and all the standing
room had some one to occupy it:
The Russellville Democrat., 1883-05-10

PRoF. O. V. HAYS, editor of Kel-
logg's Eclectic Monthly, stated in
The press association, that there was
but one paper in the state that adj
vocated free schools and taxation for
their support The most evident
thing about it is, that the young
professor does not read the papers,
although he is an editor and claims
to be posted We know Of no paper
of any prominence whatever in the
state that does not advocate and in
sist on q liberal taxation for the
maintenance OF public free schools.
Professors, and editors of great ca
magazines ought to read the papers
before they make such statements in
the presence of the quill gang. We
all want more schools, and we want
them patronized and handsomely
supported. We want the children
of our country educated.

letter Of geographic references to
Hon. Geo. w. Jones, who was in
Russellville last week We had the
pleasure of meeting this distinguish
cd gentleman in the city of Little
Rock, and he gave our hand a hearty
shake us only great men can. We
gladly publish this sketch, for in the
biography Of our great men is en-
couched the history and literature OF
our country. This sketch is written
by the mayor ofDes Moines, who was
on the opposite side of Gen. Jones,
during the late war. The General
is now gone to visit JEFF Davis,
where he and his old friend can talk
over eyentful experiences.

ARK ANSAS PRESS ASSOCIA-
TTON

It was our pleasure to attend the
meeting Of the Press Association,
which was held in Hot Springs city
the End, 3rd and 4th of May. As
we never attended an association of
this kind before, we are not compe-
tent to judge its comparative merits.
We are assured, however, that, all in
all, it compares favorably with the
former meetings of the association
in the state. The following named
gentlemen appointed by the local
press of Hot Springs, constituted a
committee of reception; Col. j. w.
Couger, Supt ii. S. r. r. Judge j..
D. Kimbell, col. J. J. Sumpter, Col.
T. c. Mays, of the Sentinel and MIR.
w. A. Brown, of the Hornet. The
committee met the members of the
association at Malvern, and assigned
them homes before reaching the
city. Immediately after depositing
what little baggage was along, the
gang was escorted to Castle. Park,
where the association was opened
in due form. The sessions of the
association were held morning and
evening throughout tao three days,
and the usual business transacted.
The association rendered itself ride
ulous over the late printing enact
ment of the legislature; aside from
that the association maintained its
dignity.
The treatment the members re-
ceived was as royal as ever a gilded
band of princes had the honor of
meeting. The mayor furnished the
members with horses and carriages
so that they could "take I'M the
wonders of the wonderful city with
facility and ease, and many We're
the editors who awaited themselves
of such a splendid opportunity The
Bath House association, of which
Mr.. Geo. G.. Latta, is president and
c. w. Long, secretary, gave all the
members Of the association bath
tickets, which procured bath every
day of the convention on presenta-
ton. Many of the quill drivers
were thoroughly bathed, and we may
now expect nice, clean editorials to
appear in the papers of the state.
The members were treated in such
magnificent style by the managers
of the Hot Springs railroad, and by
the citizens of Hot Springs, the
street car managers, the hotel pro-
prietors, the Bath House association,
and by everybody in that wonderful
city, that they want to hold all their
meetings in Hot Springs city. When
we sit around our fireside in the rap
turous delights Of home entertain
ment, every reference to Hot Springs
will cause Il feeling of intense graft
tude to pervade the sacred domin-
ions Of our grateful nature, on ae-
count of the magnificent reception
and entertainment given us while in
that city.
The Russellville Democrat., 1883-05-10
HOT SPRINGS.

While in Hot Springs last week,
we had the honor and pleasure Of a
ride through the city and to the prin-
cipal places of attraction, on the pri-
vate turnout OF the mayor, drawn
by pair of magnificent chestnut
sorrels, and driven by the mayor
himself. DR.. Womack, of the Evan
Gel, and his wife had seat with us,
and can testify to our infinite enjoy
ment of the whole ride. The mayor
is driver after our own heart, who
delights in fast driving, and the
faster the steeds draw the vehicle
the more intense the delight. We
dashed UP the street and then down
again, and over the slight projection
from the sides of the mountain, and
into the park, and finally we accom-
plished the difficult feat of going
around the horn. This is a horn of
the mountain and the road around is
so rough that few people are suf-
ficiently daring to undertake to pass
over it, But with such skillful horses
as we were behind, and with such a
skillful manager of horses as the
mayor, the feat can be accomplished
without the slightest danger. The
sub stratum of gratitude that lies
imbeded in our nature was entirely
unearthed. and though the mayor
would not allow us to express what
we could in words, we felt that we
would remember him to our dying
day.
We cannot take up all our space
this week, writing about Hot Springs
and if we were to we could not tell
half Of what we saw and enjoyed.
The Avenue Hotel and the Gaines
Cottage have our thanks for special
fayors. Next week we will tell about
some other things we saw and heard.
