JUICE l.. l.. MACK, who is III at
tendance at our Circuit Court this
week, was warmly welcomed by his
numerous Mississippi county friends
"a welcome which is as sincere as it
is unaffected. Though defeated ut
the last election for reelection to q
position he had held for eight or ten
years, that of Circuit Judge, l.. l..
Mack retains the esteem and conf
dcncc of the entire District, and we
might add, Of the people Of the entire
State. His name has been prumi.
nently mentioned in connection with
the position Of Governor, as also with
that of Chancellor, either of which,
he is emincntly qualified to fill; and
should he cousen: to cffcr for either,
we know whereof we speak, when
we say that he would receive solid
backing from northeastern Arkan-
saS.

We are in receipt Of copy Of
the "Crop Statistics of Arkansas for
1929" compiled from the reports Of
the County Assessors. Owing to
want Of time, and proper under
standing and appreciation of the OBJ
ject in view, resulting in a reluctance
on the part of the farmers in giving
the required information, the reports
are tar from being correct; especially
is this the case SO far as i, applies Ia
this County, which is reported as fol-
lows:
1854 farms, 25,S62 acres improv-
ed lands, and 10000 unimproved.
Wheat growing this year, 2lO
acres.
Corn, 1907 acres, produced 355,

Court, owing to the suspension of
Steamboat navigation, failed to put
in an appearance, and for once, the
citizens, who as jurors, witnesses and

patience they could, with no legal
power to retaliate on His Honor, the
usual penalty imposed for being tar

His business to take care OF His saints.
The purposes Of God viii be carried out,
and the prophecies OF His pro-
phets will be fulfilled. Let US
be faithful and true, careful to magnify
our high callings, and God viii bless and
preserve US. God has given Us the
priesthood that we may honor Him, and
do not our own will, but His Will May
God continue to bless you and lead you
in the paths of life Amen.
APOSTLE W. WOODRUFF SAID there was
little time yet remaining; and he was
reminded of priesthood meeting held
fifty years ago, in Kirkland, on April
9th. 1t occurred in q log cabin, and
contained the few elders then comDris-
ing the priesthood III Kirkland. There,
for the first sine, l saw and heard JOS
eph Smith the prophet, and then heard
Brigham Young, Heber c. Kimball Par
ley P. Pratt, OrsOn Pratt, Oliver Cow
derry, Hyrum Smith, Lyman Johnson
and few others testify of their know
ledge OF the kingdom OF God. I have
lived 10 see the declarations and pro-
phecies then delivered by the Prophet
Joseph Smith to be literally fulfilled He
laid the foundations of the kingdom Of
God by inspiration of the spirit and
power OF God. He feared that ne might
nay uOHu Ills DOUy III the aust before
he had the opportunity to impart the
keys of the priesthood and its endOw-
ments upon the Twelve Apostles. But
he was spared to do so, and we enjoy
the fulfllment of what he saw
when wrapped in the visions of
heaven. These things are true,
they are true. Let US be faithful to
our covenants. Every quorum of the
priesthood should awake themselves.
and ask the Lord to give them the
blessings you need, that you may trim
your lamps, and prepare for his coming.
God will hear you and respect your
calling on Him. Those who have laid
down their lives for the truth viii wear
a martyrs crown. 1t matters not, if we
lay our bodies down in the service of
God, all will be well. We need not fear
the warfare that surrounds Us. God
holds in his hands the deStinieS of all
people and nations. Let the prizes thoOd
remember that they have power
with God, and that He will
hear their supplications. God
requires US to carry on His work
and help bring about His purposes, and
He will bring Us offcOnquerOrS, if We do
His will. Ny desire is TO be true and
faithful to the end. Amen.

through his authority which he had
sent TO earth. Some of the people pro-
Tossing to be Saints so far forgot their
sacred duty to their children as to hand
them over to the tender mercies of those
who are opposed to the kingdom of God,

the people. Those who are unworthy
