A Pioneer in Sunday School
Work i'll Pope County.

On the 4th OF July, at picnic at
Centre Point, Judge Caleb DAVIS OF
Gum Log made short address.
which was listened to with great at
tention. Everybody knows Judge
Davis, and everybody respects him,
and the children love him. He told
the audience that forty-four years
ago, he organized Sunday school at
p Gum Log Methodist church, and had
been its superintendent ever since.
He stated further that he believed
that that Sunday school was the first
one organized IN the state, and was
certain it was the first one IN the
western part of the state. He told
the children he wanted them to come
to his burial when he died, which
could not be long in the future, as
he was near seventy-fve years old,
and place evergreens on his grave,
but shed no tears, for like the ever
greens that fade not, he expected to
live forever In happiness beyond the
grave. There was a hearty response
to all he said in the minds of all
present, young and old wishing him
many years more of peace and hap
piness on earth as neighbor, friend,
Sunday school teacher and citizen.
"Uncle Caleb" as his neighbors call
him, is beautiful illustration of the
adage that "old age is always honor
able when accompanied by an up
right life and full of good deeds"

Arkansas Fruit Growers.

From Colman's Rural World, pub
lished at St. Louis, we clip the fol
lowing of interest to our fruit-grow-
ers:
The Arkansas Fruit-growers are
manifesting in various ways their dis
satisfaction with the st. Louis com
mission merchants. In fact, some oil
them have gone far enough to an.
nounce in print, in st. LOUIS paper,
that the ST. Louis merchants have
formed combination to fleece them
to enrich themselves at the ex'
pense of the shipper. The shippers,
or at least large portion of them, re-
gard the commission of ten per cent,
as too high, and think the receivers
ought TO do we'll at 8 per cent. There
are a number of horticultural socie'
ties in that State which are discuss
ing these matters at their meetings.
1t is well enough to agitate these
subjects and those pertinent to their
calling. 1t will result beneficially
and throw some light on dark sub
jects. The shippers and sellers are
too far apart in their views, and
equally apart as to the duties OF
each and letter understanding will
follow discussion.
The Arkansas producers, like 9th
er men in comparatively new busl
ness. must take counsel from older
and wiser heads in the same busl-
ness, and accept their views as
sounder than rheir own. Take the
Southern Illinois fruitgrowers for
instance, who think nothing OF load
ing 10 or II cars of strawberries ID
one day, and where mans consign-
ment is worth something to a com
mission house. They 10 not grum-
BILE at ten per cent. commission.
The advent of man in their midst
offering to sell at 5 per cent. would
be sensation, and he would be re-
garded with suspicion. They who
have been in the business all their
lives and are nearer the two great
markets, are more familiar with the
workings of commission house, the
expense attached, the risks assumed,
the cost of working up and retaining
fruit trade. They have studied the
subject thoroughly, both in Chicago
and st. Louis, and nine growers out
of ten assert that fruit can't be sold
less, and do the shipper full justice.
This idea prevails among experience
ed growers everywhere, and later
will be regarded as reasonable in
Arkansas. 1t might be added while
Chicago has several firms who have
grown wealthy selling fruits, st.
Louis has none at all, and none of
the St. Louis men can be considered
extravagant IN their tastes or habits.
We might add much more in favor
of the St. Louis commission men that
would furnish food for reflection for
our Arkansas friends.

A Breeze i'm Church,

In certain village in Maryland Q
small boy kicked up breeze in the
parish church on q recent Sunday. IL
seems that certain good woman
bought a Calls head and put it on to
boil, leaving her little boy to mind 1t
while she went to the church close
by.
The minister had reached his fifth
ly my brethren, when small boy
stuck his head in at the door and
whispered:
Mammal
The good women recognized her
son instantly, and began make to
signs for him to leave the door.
"Mammar again came the whis-
per-this time little louder than be
fore.
Tue mother shook her finger at
the boy warningly, and INDUCED in
other familiar pantomime with which
she was accustomed to awe her son.
But it didn't work worth cent. The
boy was excited and in dead earnest,
as the denouement will show. Rails
in his voice, he shouted:
mamma, you needn't wink and
blink at me, but had better come
home right away, for the calf's head
is buttin' all the dumplins out Of the

A "ROOt Doctor"

A st. Louis doctor is responsible
for the following:
In the mountains Of Missouri there
lives a celebrated ''root doctor whose
dispensatory consists of only three
remedies, which he terms respective
ly: "Hy.bob a-lorum, Lo bob-a-hi.
rum, Hy-lo- bus-tem." The first he
says is cathartic, the second an
emetic, and the third is frank pizen,
and ''busts 'em wide OPEN" They are
all obtained from a certain tree, the
first by peeling the bark downward,
the second by peelng it upward,
the third ny peeling it ground and
round" The doctor adds that this
man does large and lucrative prac-
tice.

Farming North and South.

The Southern farmer is now being
told that the remedy for all his hard
ships lies in variety of crops. If nothing
but cotton is raised, of course corn and
wheat and hay must be bought; as a
matter of fact they are bought from the
North, and the North has achieved pros
perity with mixed farming, while the
South with its single crop is poor and
in debt. So the planters are urged to
raise more grain and pigs and less cot
ton, and an increase in the acreage of
wheat and corn is paraded as the surest
sign of a States prosperity.
But in the North the tendency is di-
rectly the other way. The old plan
here was for the farmer to raise upon
his own land almost everything he re-
uuired, and for him and his wife to
work with their own hands almost
everything they used and wore as well,
but this rule has been more and more
departed from until in recent years
special farming has come in which fur
nishes counterparts to the "all cotton
plantations. Take the New England
dairymen. They buy wheat and corn
from the West, often all they use, and
one man in an out-of-the-way Vermont
town has profitably devoted his acres
to grass and bought potatoes for his
own table. There is a growing feeling
here that mixed farming is proftless,
except in degree necessary for eco
nomlcal management, and that in the
competition which has come with rail-
roads and modern appliances there is
little chance of success without taking
81 h. r.sxs~. Is 1..1~ -.
the wider sense, which is brought about
by speeialties.
The fact is that, North and South,
the question is merely one of economy,
and not of principle. 1t is certain that
some Vermont farmers who feed Illi-
nois corn to their cows make more
money than others who raise their own
and plainly more than the farmer could
by raising it himself ; and that ends
the argument. 1t cost money to carry
corn from Chicago to New England or
Georgia, and each section and each far
mer must determine whether it is
cheaper to raise it, or to raise some
thing to buy it with. Because the cot
ton planters are not generally prosper
GUS il is not necessary to blindly adopt
farming as q cure-all The South has

FOR ARKANSAS.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, July o, 1850
Hon. j. G. Wallace, Russellville, Ark:
DEAR SIR:-At a meeting of the
State Board of Exposition Commits
sioners held on June 18th, in this
city, it was found necessary to raise
the sum of $4,000, to defray the
necessary expenses for making a
creditable and comprehensive dis
play of the products of the State OF
Arkansas at the Louisville Exposi
ton, commencing August LIST, and
continuing one hundred days. To
effect this, a resolution was passed
directing the Secretary and Treasur-
or to proportion the amount between
the several counties Of the State in
accordance with their respective pop
ulation and wealth, and urgently and
earnestly request The town commit.
tees and the sheritfs of the counties
to speedily collect the amount, and
forward NJ once TO the treasurer OF
the State Commission at Little Rock.
II is exceedingly important that this
be done at once to enable the com.
missioners to prosecute their work
vigorously, and in time for the open
ing of the Exposition.
The amount expected from your
county is $4,000, which is.so small
as to be easily divided between few
enterprising citizens without being
a burden to any one. Please give
this your prompt and earnest atten-
ton, and you will confer favor not
only on the commissioners, but per.
form great service for your State
and county.
Remit, as soon as possible, by ex
press, registered letter, postofflce
order. or bank draft, to Thomas w
Baird, Treasurer, Little Rock.
Please remember that no time can
be lost II we wish to attain success
Very respectfully,
