 It Is gratifying to observe that for
 the most part the wheelers are op.
 posed to mixing politics with their
 agricultural aims. The democratic
 party has lifted Arkansas out of the mire and 1t would be base treachery for democrats to leave thelr party now There are only two great par |ties in tLis country. The associa- tion or the individual who thinks he or they can ride into official position
 by any side issue, will be doomed to disappointment. We admire the principles for which the Wheel was originally organized, but we have no
 patience with the schemes of poIiti-
 clans who would use the Wheel for
 political purposes. He who leaves
 the democratic party now, at this time, when every vote is necessary to maintain our party and our pres ent good government, or who by in trigue endeavors to disrupt or dis organize the party through the name
 of the Wheel, will find out, perhaps too late, that politically he is a
 corpse. Stick by the old party. Do
 not be led astray by scheming poiti- clans. Continue to be man and a lpure and unadulteratcd democrat, and if you desire office and are well
 and truly qualified, your party will in due time reward you. But if you
 waver, if you finch, if you attempt
 to throw obstacles in the way ot your party's success, you will surely regret it. Success may temporarily
 crown your efforts, but disaster and
 disastresses will ere long o'ertake
 you and you will be forever consign-
 ed to political grave. Be ye firm,
 steadfast and true, brethren, and you vii. ba tho instrunents of per
 petnating democratic government in
 Arkansas and d,e with the knowl-
 edge that you have done your duty
 well and faithfully.

Never. No Never!

If Hon. Isaac McCracken has the good of the Wheel at heart he should make it known by saying: 'I will not accept nomination for any office on the Wheel ticket. '-Magazine Serpent

Two years ago there was no doubt about where the Fletchers belonged. But not being quartered in the state house as they desired, new and strange bee seems to have got into their clover patch, and they have mysterIously gathered themselves behind the bushes to listen at the music of his song awhile. It's bee in the bonnet with the Fletchers. it seems, without any very great regard for the style of bee, just 80 it's bee.

Just stand off and contemplate the beauty Of Greenback consistency. As party the Greenbackers organ iz wheels and denounce capital and National Banks. They cry, tdown with political schemes, down with the money lords," and then they solicit Thos. Fletcher the President of the National Bank of Little Rock to become their candidate for gov crnor.

It is an undeniable fact that tine suc- cess of the democratic party can only be preserved by thorough and system attic organization in township, county, state and national politics.

Said delegates are to be elected by BALI LOT and the vote of every democrat in Pope county should be represented.
 Let there be activity all along tic line--organize democratic clubs and attend your township conventions.

Prof. Harvey. late professor oi mineralogy in the State University in pamphlet just published by him entitled "Minerals and Rocks ol Arkansas says in the introductory 'Almost every variety Of soil known to the agriculturist can be found, and for productiveness the soils ol Arkansas are justly celebrated. Be ing composed of uplands and low lands and having variety of eli mate, wide range ofproducts can be grown. The soil of central and south Arkansas produce the finest cotton in the markets, while the up lands yield a great variety Of the most luscious fruits. We know O: no place where a greater variety Of garden vegetables, small and orchard fruits, grain and other field crops, can be grown with less labor than Tn Arkansas. Being the best wooded State in the Union, timber for all kinds of construction and fuel can be had at small cost. The mountain ous portion of the State is remark able for the great number and flow of springs. No purer natural waters can be found anywhere. Springs having medicinal properties occur in almost every section of the State, salt, magnesium, sulphur, alkaline, carbonate, alum and chalybeate wa ters are plentiful while the Hot Springs are world wide in their repu tatien. In State with such va riety of climate and products even the most fastidious could find suit able home."

About two months ago I had a protractcd attack of these low, hardly perccptibIe yet dread- ful bad. feeling levers. They would come on about o'clock in the after- noon and last until bed time. l took auinine for fourteen days. but to no purpose. I then took sixty drops Of 'sSatantan about the time the fever came on, and since then 1 have been entirely clear of fever.

THE BEAUTIFUL zO-zO.
Presented at Turner Opera House Last
Night-Very Popular With the Boys.

Presented at Turner Opera House Last
Night-Very Popular With the Boys.
The extravaganza "ZO-Zo" was re-
produced last night &C Turner opera
house, and drew a fair audience, COM
posed mainly of the males, who were
well pleased with the entertainment
presented. While some of the costumes
were scant there was nothing indecent
In them, and although the sprightly dis-
logue was trifle suggestive In some
places, nothing immoral was discerned
In IL. This opinion was freely expressed
by those who expected to find 1t other
wise, but, of course, "csptious critics"
NAV see the matter in different light.
The beautiful Blanche Curtisse as 40
TO-" was very popular, and Miss Lille
Howard as RhOdoden drum" was
evidently favorite. Miss Gertrude
CarysfOrt's musical selections were ex-
cellent and decidedly popular. The re-
naming female characters were we'll
filled by. pretty. girls. who acted with
oommendable chic. The male charac-
ters were decided y strong. Frank
Readick, as Captain Herbert
Randall" was beau ideal suffi-
cient to take the heart of any stony
"Zo-zo," Louis Ferrals donovan
Rosy" was an eccentricity Of merit.
Howard James, Jr.'s "Cupola Cupid"
was an excellent exhibition OF low
comedy, and Edward Giguerre
miniature, Tommy Tucker" was well
played but his double singing voice was
his chief attraction and secured him
several encores. Young Black, as the
"CoOnboy," who dances very cleverly
and grotesquely, took the house by
storm and was encored. The chorus was
excellent. and the groupings remarkably
fine. The scenery, as far as could be ex-
hibited, was excellent, but owing to the
incapacity Of the stage, only half of the
scenery that was brought with them,
eeould be put up.

Another Rich Find.

A very rich vein Of white marble has
been discovered in Gillespie county,
Texas, about IL miles northeast OF Fred
ericksburg, which is pronounced by ex-
perts to be far superior to anything yet
discovered in the United States In color
anu density, and only little
inferior to the celebrated Car
rara marble of Italy. The vein
In question runs through a three
hundred acre lot owned by j. Holten, of
the Fredericksburg Wochenblatt.
As years go on, the rich, natural treas
ures of Texas are revealed to the world
and lead to the inference that the time
will come when Texas will be the en-
pire state In all that constitutes true I'm
perial greatness.
