A CHANGE FOR THE BOYS.

The list of eligibles for the position of railway mail clerk from Arkansas is not sufficient, at present, for the needs of the service, and the civil service commission invites persons who desire appointments to this position to enter the examination tD be held at Mem phis on September ,. or the one to be held at Little Rock on September $. Blank forms of application may be obtained of the postmaster at Little Rock. It the time is too short for those who wish to be examined to send thelr applications to Washington and receive notice of their approval before the examination they may retain them and present them to the examiner on the day of the examination.

For several weeks the officers and di- rectors and some Of the members of the Eastern Arkansas Fair Associa- ton have been enthusiastically engaged in making all necessary arrangements for their fall meet, which is announced to take place October IS, l4, l5 and Is, 1891.
 Rules and Regulations of the very strictest nature governing the Associa tion have been agreed upon, and other steps taken to advance the interests of the Association. We are satisfied from reports from the enterprsing and capable secretary, MT. James Fus- sell, that nothing has been overlooked which will tend to promote the inter- est of this Association. The organiZa- tion is composed of the most enterpris- ing and representative citizens, which guarantees that their meeting i'll Octo- Der Will be d success in every detail. Great pains are being put forth to thoroughly advertise this important event throughout the country, and many of the best horses in the country are already entered for the races here. Competent judges and starter have been secured, and it is their determna- tion that no fraud or foul jockeying shall be perpetrated.
 The half-mile track is in splendid condition, and is One of the finest in the South. The stables are thoroughly equipped. Entries are coming in rapidly from various points. and innu- merabe bids for privileges on the ground durlng the races are being made.
 President IT. r. Dooley and Secre- tary James Russell are known to this people as two of their most energetic and capable workers. These gentle men have devoted their time and ability to the interests of the Associa- ton of which they are officers, and de serve the praise of all who visit the grounds. which are rapidly becoming q beautiful park.
 This meeting will be the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in this part of the state, aud its success will reflect credit upon the state at large. No doubt tEe press all over the state will recognize the importance of aiding in making 1t the success 1t should be. The success of this meet will mean re. newed interest in the improvement of the already good stock which the state has acquired in recent years. and will attract attention to the efforts of the other racing associations of the state and further their success. This ASso- citation has twenty-two head of fine stock, mostly standard bred, and is doing world of good for the improve ment Of stock in this section.

OF the emagnitude of the new railroad

OF themagnitude of the new railroad bridge now being built at Memphis, the Philadelphia Press says: It is the longest bridge in the country and one of the longest in the world. 1t is the only bridge across the Mississippi River lelow St. Louis, and it's trussed span of 1904 feet is the fourth longest in the world. The Forth bridge has two spans of ITO feet each, the Sukkur
 India, bridge one of S20, and Memphis comes next, while it has in addition two spans of 62l feet. The next lon gest span in this country is the Cobra do River bridge at Red Rock, with one of 66O feet. In all the Memphis bridge has five spans, covering 2597.i2 feet, or just half mile. The wonder is that a cantilever bridge of these dimensions is going up and attracting no attention
 and no remark. Ten years ago it would have been talked of as one of the won- der of the world. But it was begun December 2l, 1890; it's piers are sunk from 7S to 13l feet below low water, and next year the bridge will be done.

AN Arkansas correspondent. whose neighbors are becoming excited about 6-cent cotton. wants to know if the Mckinley tariff has had anything to do with the present low prices. Of course it has. Since their goods have to pay heavier tax at the New York custom house before grtting to Ameri- can consumers, how can the British ,spinners and weavers afford to pay as much for their raw cotton as they did uader the lower tariff r? The more McKinley's tariff is looked into the more clearly it is seen to be d scheme for fattening a few hogs in the In dustrial states" while starving honest producers in other parts of the coun- try.-Republic.

WE see no reason why the town coun- .cil should hesitate topass an ordinance dsposing of the town hog There are only few who own hogs, but would be glad to see the ordinance pass. The hog walows are disgrace to the towu while the fleas that generate ill the hog beds are about to take the town Some argue that the hog is good scav. finger. There is no worse filth produ ,cer on earth thana town hog. They wallow and root in all the filth they find. and then parade down our prin- cipal streets, leaving an odor behind them that would make a dog sick. We fail to see where the profit is in raising hogs in town anyway. No one would certainly eat one killed on the town range, and it will cost as much to fat ten one, as 1t is worth. In the fall Of the year they die by the drove from eating cotton seed, and then every out house in town has dead iiog under it. The SOw0 hog must go.-----D DesArc NSrid0n
