'SSomcthing to Fill up With"

Say, you editors always want something to fill up with; you might say in your next paper -" (dictating a two or three dollar "puH''abOut his business) Many people think that editors always want "something to fill up with," and that they are comforting a fla vor by permitting you to use their name and business. We regret to say that with some newspapers this is to a certain extent true. There are newspapers in Arkansas that accept every advertising prop. osition sent them-no matter how absurd it may be- especially if the advertiser sends an electrOtype. They do this in order to have some thing to fill up with, and to save type.set.ing. Such are a diseface to the profession. Their editors would make better success chop ying cord wood or scra ping cotton than they can hope to make rtin- ming a paper. Foreign advertisers would pay the cash, and their pa tronage would be valuable, were it not for such newspapers. They must advertise their goods, and if they cannot get it done for nothing they will pay for it. Sev- eral years ago we made up our minds that foreign advertisers should pay for all the space they use in the Argus, and we find 1t works we'll. We do not "due-kllp advertising whatever, and foreign advertisers have to come to our terms or get nothing. If all the pa peIs in the State would adopt such a rule a good foreign adve. Using patronage would be worth having. The true editor is never at loss for "something to fill up with The question with him is not "what shall put it," but what shall J "NoT put in.' bet the Press As- sociation at its next meeting again grapple with this "foreign adver tising question, and see if some agreement can not be entered into between publishers whereby said advertisers will have to pay the cash just the same as the home ad- vertiser Van Buren Argus.

 When they arc going home they question Harry about the letter, but he remembers nothing of it. After much thinking he does re- call one morning when the post man gave him letter to take into the hcase, and he pat it in his pocket and forgot it.

Hon. John R. Thornton, of Calhoun
 County. T., ., ., /,
--Fr m the Arkansas Gazette.

| TH
 The above named gentleman whose name will be recognized by every person familiar with Arkan. 'sas politics, is a native of Alabama but probably the youngest man in the state born elsewhere-being only two months old when his pa rents came here. Born in 1S45, he married fin Calhoun county in 1866, and is the happy father of six children. He has been S.years senator, and his record is one of which any public man might 'be proud. His career as a senator from the nineteenth district, com menced in 1879, when he was made chairman of the printing committe and also member of the judiciary ana finance committees. His ex- cellent, faithful work is we'll known, and has stamped him as an able, hard working statesman. This is his fourth consecutive term in the senate. He is still young man, ambitious, proud and true, and the future is opening to him brightly. His opinion is always on the side of popular education, and he is in | every sense a liberal and progess- i've citizen. With..viewsand opinions on all subjects, he is a crank on none. The railroads he looks on as great agents for good, and while he is in favor of taxing them, does not desire to see them burdened to degree that will keep others from being constructed. On all positions he has decided views, and never was known to occupy neu- tral position.
 At home, Senator Thornton is a man among men, and man of the people. He is a lawyer and farm CT, and a success at both SOcia., ly he ;s a favorite, and politically y a straight democrat, true to his principles as the necS4e to the pole.

Advertisements in a newspaper

Advertisements in newspaper, says the San Antonio Light, show just what business men are accom- plishing, and are the sign-board oi trade to ak who have anything to buy. Business men who do not ad- vertise are not up to the spirit ol the times, not that man cannot do business without advertising but with his aid he can do more, and the best and surest way to ad- vertise is through the cOlumus of a newspaper. .-Ex.

 "Here is rose Tor your button hole; what was it you said9 Shal you come and bid us good-byet We should feel very much hurt il you did not" She says all this ir au easy running tone perfectly free from emotion.
