 Fayetteville is . nice little town; it's air is pure; its society cultivated; ; and it's prospects most favorable. It has all the requisites for happy, pleasing home. --Col. Whitthorne impressed his expressions on the editorial head ines of the Press Gang with Bento n:an power, Saline pnngcncy and all pervading hunor. Bro. Jobe met the excursion on It's return at Hartman and quietly informed It's members that it was Sunday. EVEN Bros. Womack and Searcy had forgotten the fact. If you want man to be real reception committee don't pin q white ribbon to his lapel. It destroys his usefulness. The unribboned heroes of Fayetteville deserve the honors.
 The University needs investiga tion much less than it needs help. Let us pass resolution calling on school men to investigate their neigh borhoods and send ur four or five honorable recruits next September. Powell Clayton is brim full of energy and daring. The serpentine Eureka Springs R. R. IS monu ment to his pluck and ar honor to the State. The scenery along its line is delightful and is well worth q long ride to see. Charlie Green sets splendid table. Every meal was banquet and every hour in his house brought comfort and cheer. l was sorry to leave and I haven't got over it yet. My stomach quite easily forgets bad food but it can't forget Greens. -G. Russ Brown claimed to rep resent "Thc Old Lady" This was disputed by the proprietor of the Harrison Times. Mrs. Newman set tied the affair by putting in per sonal appearance. She had more vigor, vivacity, colloquial power, grace and zest than enc half of the young editors.

We thank them for delightful ride.
 What has the State of Arkansas to do with the petty local squahbles of Fayetteville? Great privileges, splendid opportunities, magnificent principles, unequalled hopes. all lie buried under the accommodating rub bish of petty jealousies, private IT. valries and undignitied disputes The faculty is made up of gentle men; the board is of the same stern
