From ARKANSAS.

SLOAN SPRINGS, ARK, 12-11l88.
Ed. Herald. As we have Just roll
ed our wagon wheels across prairie,
hill and stream, from Phillips county
to northwest Arkansas, perhaps your
readers will be interested in a few
jottings about our journey and what
we find IN this land of woods and
springs, of rocks and muddy roads.
Nov. 7th we gave the parting hand
to dear friends who came to bid us
adieu, and turned our backs on the
humble home that had sheltered us
so many years, with its never-to-be-
forgotten blessings and kindly asso-
Citations. 1t is no little thing for a
large family to leave what has been
to several of them the home Of their
childhood and go among strangers in
a strange land, homeless save a tent
or the canvass cover of their wagon.
You need not wonder that as familiar
scenes faded from view and the cold
north wind chilled our veins sense
Of loneliness and homelessness chilled
our hearts. But we believed loving
Heavenly Father had said: Il will 90
with you and bless you and we found
sweet rest IN his promise.
Leaving the north line Of the coun-
ty, south of Republican City, we
passed down the Republican river
through Nebraska to Superior. A
number Of the river towns are under
local prohibition, but Superior with
several licensed saloons showed more
evidence Of drinking than we saw in
passing quite across the state OF Kan
sas from there to Baxter Springs.
Though we We're in COncordia, Clyde,
junction City, Empoua, and other
important towns we saw no one really
drunk, and very few who could be
suspected of being under the infu-
ence of liquor. OF course ''there is
more liquor drank now than there
was under license" for lots Of people
who know tell US so, and what right
has prohibitiOnist to dispute their
word. Isn't it odd how much some
people know about how much liquor
IS drank? OF course they don't touch
it.
The northern half.of Phillips com
ty averages we'll with the rest of Kan
sas, as far as we saw, as to the pres
ent corn crop, and is ahead on small
grain. There was much complaint
of midsummer drouth and chinch
bugs. The price of corn gradually
rose from 20 cents at home to IS cents
at Baxter Springs and when we
reached Benton county, Ark. we were
obliged to pay so cents for corn in the
''shuck' salt barrel full for five
pecks-and when we protested that
this was to us a new way of selling
corn, an old southerner declared we
couldn't get it any other way in this
country and he 'reckoned that was
the way it was sold all over the
world.' So we meekIy took our corn
that is our shucks-and resigned
ourselves to the necessity of doing
as the Romans do" E. @. Cook.
