It is becoming quite customary, and most laudably so for leading newspa- pers throughout the state-'country papers, If you please-to issue ever and anon trade editions" giving full and complete accounts of their immediate sections-the progress in trade and improvments, and the development of civilization generally, and portray lnq the special and commanding in- ducements to immigration and perma- nent citizenship in their localities which of course is doing wonderful good, in both special and general way, and for which We venture tO say such publishers are hardly ever amply rewarded. About the best and most commendable example of this sort K found in the character and get-up of TIE FORREST CITY TINES. of the Huh instant: which comes tOu us more than double edition, giving not only an extra good write-up of that naturally favored region. but containing splen- did portraits of just 55 of the splendid citizens of that somewhat historic and truly romantic town-or rather little city, not only in name but in pOpula- tion also; and surely no town CT city in Arkansas could afford more iuteill gent ana tndRlllICcut luhAitN EihAh NA gentlemen in a general way. and some of them especially SO. There for in- stance is the affable and genial and ever cordial Geo. F.

TIE Pine Bluff Commercial is- very much exercised lest the Democratic party should split if the nomination goes to Fishback, and says ten thous- and democrats will not vote for him. In the first place we do not believe there are two thousand of this milk and water stripe of democrats in Ar kansas, and even if there are b, GOO the party will be better off without them. They are welcome to bolt the nomination. They are the fellows who rule or ruin, invariably defeat ing the will of the people, and who pull the wires for personal favorites and self aggrandizement. No, MT Commercial, the great masses of the great Democratic party of Arkansas are for Fishback and they are tired of being fed to support dark horses, and your ways that are uncertain" Fish back is the peer of any man in Arkan- sas, in seriousness, in ability, in learn ing, III devotion to the states welfare and has accomplished more good and been less favored. He will be the next governor of Arkansas.

 The following special, from Alexan- dria. La, referring t0 a road that will strike the main line of the Iron Noun tain at Marianne, appeared in the pa pers the other day:
 The following railroad official ar- rived here at o'clock this afternoon. They came over the Houston. Central Arkansas and Northern railway from St. Louis, remained an hour. and left for Dallas. Texas: Jay Gould. \. II. II. Clark. vice president and general man. ager of the Iron Mountain and Mis- souri Pacific railway; Col. Kicker, ger- eral superintendent of the Iron Moun- tain railroad, and his private secretary, II. NJ. Roche. They met at this place Capt. John A. Grant, ce-presdent and general manager of the Texas and Pacific railroad and l.. M. Thorne. traffic manager of the Texas and Pa- citic, who came up from New Orleans on special train and annexed to the Gould train and left for Dallas.
 It is understood that the above of- fcials have decided that the Houston, Central Arkansas and Northern rail- road should put on daily trains from St. Louis on April l, next, and that they will commence at once to con struct round house and machine shops at this place. This is but carry- ing out Mir. Goulh's predictions that this should be one of the most i'm portant connecting links of railroads in the Southern country.
