TIE Yell county Mail has sus- pended. The Gazette in speaking off truthfully says:
 Its fate suggests the old, old story, of too many newspapers and to little business. There is hardly a county in the state in which the business of newspaper publishing is not overdone. Two are printed where ihere is room for only one; and three or four appear where at most only two can succeed. The result is, either worthless publications or a constant scram- ble for a 'starvihood.' Livel- hood will not describe the fact; for ,i is seldom reached. A man un- sbie to stand alone will not prove a valuable champion of any cause; and a newspaper compelled to struggle for bare existence will hardly be found useful to a con- munity. Quality rather than num- bers should be the rule. There fhould be fewer newspapers that there may be better newspapers. thus bringing proftto their propfi. ctcrs and ben, it to the cor, :auuiiy they serye.'

The South and Arkansas.

oii tht iohi LII HhSc VI AHiS lc- sue we publish two articl es on tn c South th,--expressions of Eastern gentlemen of note, As can be seen by persuing the articles, each speak in terms most favorable. Mir. Davis, of Philadelphia, Gas shown by the paragraph we copy,) is about the only Northern or Eastern man we have known, to acknowledge the great evil the people of the South had to endure just after the war, of Northern pol iticians, (scalaways, carpetbaggers and political tricksters, are the names they are best known by here), usurping public offices and bankrupting our government by fr2ndulently sqaandesins all mon eys that could be raised on the States credit. There is no gain saying this. All the same, al. though laid waste by the ravages of war, and then bankrupted by th csc scalawag carpet-baggers, tho South has made wonderful pogress, and, to-day, her indus tries and unequalled resources, are attracting tho attention of al most the entire civilized world Capitalists of the North and also of Europe, are beginning to appreci ate the many advantages of our progressive, productive "Sunny South" and in many places are investing their capital Cotton manufacturing enterprises are springing up all over the South, and in course of the next decade, most of .hese enterprises will be among us. All practical minds can readily perceive the reason that it IS business economy. Why should not all goods made of cot. ton be manufactured here, where the staple, the king of products, is raised! And it is true not only ill this one thing but ..also as regards nearly everything else. The earth yields abundantly variety of min- erals; our soil is very fertile and will produce almost every known product; running streams of water furnish the finest of water powers; railroads and navagable streams give cheap and convenient means of transportation; and mild, salu- brious climate, all tend to make ours the most desirable portion of the United States.
 We intended this article not only to apply to the South in general but especially to Arkansas. :Sht possesses all the advantages abO vt enumerated in an eminent de gree. She needs more capitalists to come within her borders, to es tablish manufacturing enterprises of all kinds. Although large quantity of cotton is raised here there are but very few cotton fac tories in the state. We hope this will not remain so long. The soil of the State is rich and productive and very cheap. Improved lands range in price from five to fifteen dollars per acre in this section and unimproved at from two to ten dol lars. In many instances, the tim Der on the land is worth the price asked for it.
 And now VIC say to all home seekers, come to Arkansas and see for :, ourselves the many advan tages and inducements offered you. If you will come to Prescott and call on the PICAYUSE, you will be shown that courtesy and consider ation, all of our people are ready to render strangers, and any asssi.- tance in our power will be cheer. fully given. The people of the South and especially Arkansas, are kind and attentive to the hon orablc home-seeeker. Come and
