AZ people of Arkansas are in much
better condition than they were last

will owe less when their crops are

every respect they have made subs

more diversified farming better meth>

there is an element Of the population

The most favorable conditions, the
richest soil, the finest climate, the

they manage to move at least once

Linden, Ala, Oct. l4.-Tms place
is in the heart of the Canebrake re-
g;on-a vast tract of the most fer>
tile cotton land in the world. 1t has
been a very difficult matter for some
years to get labor to cultivate, and
especially to gather the crops, owing
to Infamous reports that have been
circulated as to malaria, fever, ague,
etc.
1t is now believed that this prob>
lem has been satisfactorily solved by
an enterprising young Yankee farm
er named Jack Mundey, who has for
some time been quietly experiments
ING with monkey labor in his cotton
fields.
AT first he only imported couple
of the animals from South Africa,
but they took so kindly to the work,
were so easy to learn, 50 capable, IN
dustrious end satisfactory in every
way that he brought over dozen
more male and female in pairs.
Other planters around HIM are quite
taken with the idea, and before frost
IN this section it Is believed that
there will be at least 500 of the pres
hensile Siamians at work in the cane
brake.
AT first the negroes we've volent>
Iy opposed to the importation of this
competitive labor, but as soon as it
was proven to them that the mon
keys would eat neither watermelons
nor fried chicken they took the new-
comers by the hand, and now the
Monkey and the darkey lie down to-
gether in peace and harmony.
Politics also for time threate
to break up dr. hiundeS'' scheme, as
it was feared that the monkeys might
vote with the darkeys, and so pre-
cipitate race conflict and bloodshed.
but at the very first local election
as we might Lave known had we on
" paused to think the every last
monkey went over to the farmers
alliance and prohibition party. There.
fore, all Is quiet now, and so long as
they continue in their present sensl>
ble course, the monkeys are apt to
prove a valuable aqmsition to our So
clety and country, Should their VI
olent temperance principles, however,
lead them into turning "revenue in>
formers" they are doomed. See the
