The climate of Arkansas is very nearly the same as that of Georgia there is very little if any differ ence. It is a somewhat milder eli mate in the Southwestern portion, though the summers are no warm CT.
 Society is as good or better. in Arkansas than here. School facili- ties are far superior. The State law requires a tax for that purpose, of from one to five mills, at the dis erection of the people, and am glad to say that in nearly all cases the people vote the five mills tax.
 The price of lands is very low costing less than half that of this oountry'-ranging from 8 to Sl0 per acre for unimproved, and from 5 to s25 for improved.
 There is no difference in the crops produced-only finer ones, without the use of fertilizers. There is no reason, at all, why a man should stay in Georgia and rent. land, when he can go West, and, if una ble to buy, enter it from the gov ernment for about S1G; and rich land too. Would say to all class es, go west, if you want to improve yourselves, financially, morally, so- cially and intellectually. This ad- vice applies only to Southwestern Arkansas, as Pm not sufficiently informed as to all portions of the West. It is certainly true, as applied to that section. Will say, however, that there are very few places in Arkansas or Texas, that are not preferable to Georgia, and they are the very sickliesS parts. Will state that portions of Georgia are as sickly as any sickly portions of either Arkansas or Texas,
 Very Truly,

A KISS BY MOONLIGHT.

At that moment the lover was heard to ask: My dear darling Sarah Jane. you are becoming more beautiful every day; your eyes sparkle with more orilliancy, your once pale cheeks have been painted by ths roseate hues of nature. and you seem to have entirely regained your health.

men who were not in the habit ol wearing bouquets, but she could no, borrow a circular artist to revolve the crank of the freezer, so she az itated it herself.
 Her husband had to go away prior to the festivities, but he or dered her not to crank tho freezer.
 He had very little influence with her, however, so to-day he is a widower. The church debt was revived in the following year, and now there isn't more thriving church debt anywhere in the cOun- try. Only last week that church traded off $75 worth of ofgroceries in the form of asbestos cake and celu- Ibid angel food in such way that if the original cost of the groceries and the work were not considered, the clear profit was SIS after the hall rent was paid. And why should the first cost of the gro cer- ies be reckoned when we stop to think that they were inyoluntarily furnished by the depraved hus. band and father.
 l must add also that in the above estimate doctors bills and funeral expences are not reckoned Bill Nye in Sunday Mercury.

Boston Transcript: "An item going the rounds that a Chicago girl died suddenly at recent Sun day picnic from eating too much ice cream. Of course the intent of the spreaders of this story is to save money to the sex which pays for the ice cream; tut i: is doubt full whether this western damsePs taking-of will prove very effica' cious as a deterrent. The girl died it is true, but it should be remem' bered that she died happy"

 He Taught Death,

Conductor Frazier of the Inter. national and Great Northern rail- road, tried to fight off death a few hours in order that he might see his wife once more. He had been shot by q atramp and had been taken to Tyler, Texas, in dying condt. ton.
 "Help me fight off this cruel death, boys. until my wife gets here," said the dying man cheer fully.
 The doctors had already told him he could live but few hours, With calm courage he heard the verdict, and called all his won derful force to his aid in the strug gle to live until his wife arrived.
 ''Tell mo exciting stories," Inc said to the boys around his bed "for l must make this run before she cOmes."
 And the boys did laugh and tell big stories, poor fellows, when their stout hearts were filled with sad regret. The hours sped rap idly by; the merry voice of the conductor grew fainter and fainter but his courage never falteled.
 A telegram from his wife in an swer to one sent to her few hours before, was brought into the room and read. She was coming on a special train, tic road was cleared for her passage, and with lightning speed her train was annihilating distance. What a race! A young woman in the full finsh of love and new life pitted against the king of terrors. The news nerved Frazier for moment, and his efforts to keep up were renewed. A little later another telegram.
 "Old boy" whispered brake man, "she will be here in an hour."
 "Good God! But one short hour to wait--tO liver'
 Turn me over. boys," he said. It was done. He whispered to an attendant:

A new snake story, which has the merit of originality, although clouded by untruthfulness, is rela. ted by the Jackson (Ga,) News, as follows: "A gentleman informed us yesterday that on one occasion he was out fishing at Barrow's Pond when the pond was SO low that it was impossible to run the mill. After looking around the pond for some time it was discov- cred that all of the snakes had crawled out of the water and had caused it to fall several feet. To remedy this they drove them back into the pond, when the grinding at the mill was resumed without fur. rher trouble"
