ALL of the republican papers that We have seen up to date claim that MT. Blaine's letter declining the nomi- nation is really meant in earnest, and there are also a few democratic papers that pretend to believe that he has given up the race through fear of de- feat more than from any other cause. We certainly do not claim to be in fallible in our predictions, but we must ask to be excused from believing that MT. Blaine will not be the candi- date of the republican party. His character for adroitness will bear us out in our prOgnosticatiUus. He felt certain of victory with the first can yass, but, failing then, he will not rest satisfied till he is beaten thoroughly. Possibly he may see defeat staring him in the face, but this is not at all probable. from the fact that his judg- ment in this matter, is made up from reports of his own party press. Again, he may chance to think of his old companion, R. Conkling, Esq, who still keeps his weather eye, and also his sharp nose, on the rhetorical knight. Either way our readers may look at the matter it is q puzZliug problem to handle, and THE TINES will still appear at regular intervals and give the news of the day and dis seminate it's useal amount of useful information to both the rich and the poor, the lame and the halt-and also to the whig and the pfohibitionist, and await further developments.

THE WORK OF THE NEWSPAPER

The duty of the people to stand by their newspapers as their best friends is presented in this clear and forcible manner by the Nashville News:
 The newspaper is in a very import ant sense public institution, doing great deal for each individual and for the community as whole that re- ceives neither reward, thanks, nor even acknowledgment In view of this it is certainly as little as any man can do to give his patronage to the local pub fisher, who is at the same time nearly always a job printer. Yet it seems to be a growing custom for business men to send their work abroad. This is probably largely owing to the princi- pal in human nature which ever gives entertainment to distance, and makes the prophet not without honor except in his own country. The men who condemn their fellow citizens and neighbors for going abroad to buy their dry goods and groceries because they like a foreign article, or think they can get it little cheaper, seem entirely oblivious to the fact that they are committing the very same offense when ordering their commercial print ing from some distant city. When the printing is ordered from distance years supply is generally ordered at one time to save expenses, but when the work is given to the home printer
 it is in very small lots of 250 or 300 in package, and he is required to com pete in prices with those on a lot of several thousand This. to say the least. is unfair. The home printer has less expense in the way of rents, wages, etc. and of course can do the work as cheap as any foreign house in bills of equal size.
 There is so much gratuitous work done by the newspapers for the good of the publc-so much that helps the people in every way-that there ought always to be a disposition to return the favor The home institution, what ever it may be, provided it has good object. should have home support. Let Us stand by each other if we would grow and become strong.-Democrat.

STATE MILITIA.
A Proposed Plan for Its Organization and
 Trip to Austin Texas.

The organization of the Mccarthy Light Guards and the Crystal Guards and the approaching drill at Austin have awakened considerable interest in military matters throughout the State And the scheme of organizing State militia with at least 700 men seems to find much favor. They need not all be infantry companies. Say that eighteen could be organized with an average membership of forty men. Have twelve infantry companies three cavalry and three batteries of artillery, and no doubt many of the men who have done military service in earnest would join the organizations. With this number of companies quite a re- spectable regiment could be formed. A cavalry company would be nice thing where the young men of a city or town and the adjoining country own nice horses, and no doubt Little Rock, Fort Smith, Texarkana, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff or Helena could furnish batteries in addition to infantry companies. With such an organization the State could get the amount that is appropri- ated annually for the militia in the State. which now is carried back into the treasury. It does seem that the following cities in the State could organize and support companies: Lit tie Rock. Fort Smith. Pine Bluff, Hel- ena, Texarkana, Hot Springs, Eureka Springs, Newport, Fayetteville. Van Buren, Morrilton, Dardanelle, Clarks- vile. Forrest City, Brinkley, Washing ton, Camden, Batesville, Nashville, Philadelphia. Washington, Hope. The University cadets at Fayetteville could furnish fine company, and they also have a splendid brass band, which could serve as the regimental band.
 If such regiment can be formed and gotten ready and the whole taken as Arkansas representative to the Austin drill with Gov. Hughes as com mander-in-chief, and Col. J. II. McCar- thy and others as officers of the regi- ment and staff officers, it would be a fine thing for the State. Such a thing is not impracticable nor impossible. It can be done, and all that is necessary is for some few men, who have the time and influence to work 1t up. Gazette.

Jennie 0'Dear.
Editor TIMEs

Editor TIMES:
 There is an old saying that it takes a thief to catch thief" and l could not help but be reminded of that ex- pression when Jennie O'Dear, in THE TIMES of the llth, speaks of the close attention young ladies are giving to the sermons these days. It seems to me that Jennie O'Dear's letter ema- mated from one of those mysterious bachelor club rooms. .''-one of those with old boots, oyster cans, old lanterns and other plunder piled under the sofa. 1 must think Jennie O'Dear has grown tired of taking the broom to sweep the dust from the looking-glass in that room, and he knows that the charming ''baldheaded boys" and dash ing young widowers are giving him so little chance of procuring any one to do that for him that in despair he looks forward to the blue-ribbon brigade and the sunny June days with hope. But do not be discouraged. Hope, like d star in the distance, yet remains, and whilst we are making hay whilst the sun shines in this our "BisseXtile' year, in future we will try not to be- stow all our smiles on the baldheaded boys, but save few for poor sighted Jennie O'Dear

Homemade Fertilizers.

We promised in our last article to give some information on the subject of making fertilizers at home. In the first place 1 would not advise any farmer to attempt the manufacture of superphosphate by acting upon ground bones with sulphuric acid. The acid in the hands of an inexperienced man is not safe. The following, how ever, are easily prepared. Their value as plant food is shown in the column giving the number of ponnds of plant food that they contain:

Attention, Citizensi

Capt. J. ". Wynne has issued call for meeting of qua citizens in the interest of the immigration movement, We hope all the citizens ill the county will lend their presence and exchange their views on the subject, at this meet ing. With cooperation St. Francis may stand in the front ranks of the enterprising counties of the State, and withour cooperation she can do noth- ing. The following from Mir. J. E. Leary's call for Lee county citizens to take interest is adaptable to our people:
 The question of immigration and the development of our resources IS one or immense importance to every citizen of Lee county. To the tax, payer it means a reduction of his taxes to the land owner it means an enhancement of his lands value; to the would. be educator of his children it III cans better teachers. and better schools and longer sessions, to the farmer it means new ideas. new machinery, new crops, better cultivation, and a con seduent greater emulation for success. To the sick it means surcease of the sorrows of disease, by giving us a purer climate the natural sequence of more thorough drainage; to the Christian 1t means more and better to the living God. to all of us it means greater wealth, better health and more hap piness. Then let us all meet, knowing no color or creed or condition, in a common cause, and with the energy fra ternity and power of a common bro therhood, strongly cemented by a com mon interest, common sympatbc and common patriotism, organize and develope and build up the resources that partial Providence has so lavish ly bestowed upon us. and let Lee county's flag and Lee county's crest be seen foremost in the race for wealth and prosperity.

 Toledo, O., January 10, 1887. Messrs. F. J.

TIE need of the world is not men, but MAN. Manhood that cannot be bought or sold, compromised or forgot. ten under the pressure of gam or glory. pain or poverty is the choicest and grandest jewel in the world.
