CLEVELAND!
RenOminated on First Bal
lot by AcclamatiOn.

The monster convention of the
National Democratic party, which
assembled in St Louis on last Tues
day, was composed of more than
eight hundred delegates, and fully
ten thousand spectators were pres
emit. 1t was held in the great Ex-
position Building of that city,
which has one of the most magnifi-
cent and spacious halls of the
world. The first day was spent in
organization and appointing CON-
mittees.
On Wednesday the name Of
Grover Cleveland was placed in
nomination, and on motion the
rules were suspended and he was
unanimously elected as the Demo-
cratic nominee for President OF
the United Stat66.
The scene which followed his
nomination is said to beggar de-
scription, the widest and most in
tense enthusiasm being displayed
by the immense conolave of peo-
pie present. Ringing and eloquent
speeches were made by several
men of national fame, and the con.
vention had to adjourn over until
Thursday to nominate the Vice.
President, and frame a platform
The second place will doubtless be
given to Thurman, of Ohio.

ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT.

The home seeker should remember
that Arkansas is land of many crops
and nine months harvest, commencing
in April with strawberries, of which
thousands of dollars worth are shipped
north in the early spring, making a
very remunerative crop for the grow
er, and cotton ends our harvest which
closes about the last of December. In
the intervening time there is not y
week in which some crop is not ma
tured and ready Tor the market.
Thousands of people at the north
from prejudice and want of better
knowledge of our state are losing the
best opportunities of their lives. Our
cheap lands for farming and raw ma
terial for manufacturing cannot he
purchased al their present price much
longer. Just think, land for three
and four dollars per acre that win
grow all the cereal grains at the north,
and of equal quantity and quality !;
besides many other products that can
not he grown north. Fruit in great
variety and of unsurpassed excellence.
Climate unexcelled on the American
continent. If you are not able to
come and examine for yourself, write

An Unexpected Compliment for Arkansa

An Unexpected Compliment for Arkansas
Forest and Farm.
The possibilities and probabilities
of Arkansas are becoming better known
TO the outside world every day and an
interest is shown by all parties whether
they are seeking homes with more
genial climate than is found north. or
for raw material for manufacturing, or
the investment of capital when prof
its are sure to accrue. Our state made
an exhibit of its material wealth at
the St. Louis exposition. which closed
the goth of last month. and from the
attention it attracted both from the
people and press one would suppose ii
was a newly discovered land. In our
October issue we published few no.
tees taken from some of the leading
papers of the country this month we
give few more that our readers may
see the impression we made. The St.
Louis exposition gives no premiums
but our exhibit was such an uneX-
pected revelation that at meeting of
of closing. the following resolution
was passed by that body and presented
to the management of the Arkansas
exhibit unsolicited and unexpected.
1t was the only resolution of the kind
ever passed by the board:
Resolved, That the board appreci-
ates in the highest degree the cOmpre-
hensive exhibit made by our sister
state of Arkansas at the exposition
just drawing to close; that the va
riety and quality of her products, the
result of her genial climate and extra
ordinarily productive soil, together
with her wealth of timber and min
erals as shown by the admirable dis
play gotten together by Prof w. s.
Thomas, not only constitute elements
which must rebound to the CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests of st.
Louis, but that the exhibit referred to

trunk lines recently, I'VE see all manifesta-
tions Of human happiness and sorrow here in
the course of few months. Sometimes we
carry funeral party in one part Of the train
and lot OF FOSTERING pleasure seekers on

scenes, and the hurry and worry of our work
prevents our sympathizing or rejoicing with
them, no matter how much we might feel 50
disposed And did you ever observe how few
people there are who manifest any breeding
when travelling! People who would be called
cultured at home will sometimes act in the
most shocking manner aboard a train. How

to have it known that they use the weed win
spit tobacco juice over the foot rests and floor
until they render the place they occupy use

people don't seem to appreciate it.
