messenger to open the safe. There was
large amount OF money in it, but IN open

money and dropped it behind the door un-
seen by the robber. Seeing that the safe
was empty, the freebooter left the car with
curses and proceeded to the engine. The
engineer and fireman were ordered up the
track about half mile. Tney were then
told to go back TO their train. The robbers

MESSAGES OF GENERALIZATION.
At the opening of the afternoon session
messages Of congratulatton were read from
various party leaders. The reading OF this
communication from W ashington provoked
great applause:
The subscribers here desire to tender you our
utmost thanks. Nothing would please us bet
ter than to meet with you chat we might clasp
hands and exchange with you words OF encour-
agement as coworkers in the great struggle
now going on between the people and those
who live and fatten through class laws and vlo-

might be for us to meet and enjoy general

given us to do.

Capt. F.. E. Stubbs, the celebrated champion shot of the world, was rob bed of all of his expensive firearms, and two trunks containing several hundred dollars worth of goods at Hot Springs one night last week. No clue to thieves.
 X dynamite explosion at Searcy the other night shattered every window glass in the town. Upon investigation it WAS discovered that Buler's jewelry store and the adjoining building were a total wreck. No one was injured. 1t is rumored that the Bulers, who came to Searcy from Wisconsin, were followed here by some old enemies, and the deed is assigned to their de- sire for vengeance. The town suffered a similar shaking up month ago, without such serious results as the last one. It was then suppOsd that me teor had fallen and exploded in the vicinity.
 Twelve indictments have been re- turned by the federal grand jury against state election officers, for viola tion If the election law in the No vember election. The first arrest was
 made in Lonoke county Saturday af- ternoon when R, NJ Griffin, Pat H. Wheat, jr., and E. F. Everton were or dered to appear before Judge Williams. The arrested parties, accompanied by
 Judge II. G. Bradford, Col. 0. U. Owens, appeared before Judge Will
 Hams, and plead not guilty through
 their counsel. Their trial was set for
 December 67 They were admitted to
 bond. There are nine counts in the
 indictment. The commissioners are charged with appointing nothing but
 democratic judges in nine precincts in
 Lonoke county. The defendants say
 they have ample evidence to clear
 themselves. It is alleged that the in
 dictments were brought about by a
 Peoples party man living at Lonoke.
 The names of the other parties indict-

 however, that no more arrests have been made

COTTON.

H. NJ. Neill, the well-known cotton ststistician, in his circular, gives his estimate as total of 6 .500, 900 bales for this years growth, equal to I'll pounds per acre for the whole country, against l79 pounds in lSs9-90, 172 pounds in IS. SS-s9, l7S in the great crop of 1S79-S0
 During the last two weeks we have received careful and complete reports from almost the entire cotton area and the unanimous opinion is that the shortage is so great as to amount to a real calamity. The reports do not come from planters only, but also
 from people who are looking for cotton for the purpose of buying it, and whose interest it is to exaggerate the pros- pect of supply, not to under estimate it. And the Arkansas Democrat offers the
 following suggestions: Cotton is now
 bringing fair price but the indications
 are that it will go considerable higher and every man who can hold his crop should do so. The truthis the estima-
 tes of the crop, or at least most of them, have been entirely too high. In- stead of a crop of seven million bales or seven and half millions we shall do we'll if we reach six millions. If the
 crop in Arkansas is sample it will fall considerable short of that figure.
 The truth IS there is very short crop and it ought to command a hige price. ,

DIVERSITY.

We learn that quite number of our farmers are turning their attention to the cultivation of wheat. This is very long step in the right direction
 Any man who will take the trouble to look around him will see that the farmer who raises sufficient small gram for home consumption and makes cotron the surplus crop is in far better condi- tion than the man who raises cotton with which.to purchase corn and meat. While it is true that the cultivation of cotton should not be abandoned it should occupy the second place. Suf- ficient corn, wheat, and oats should be raised for home consumption We have for years closely observed the farmers of the country and we say without hesitation that the man who expects to get out of debt by raising cotton, and at the same time buy any considerable amount of corn and meat, will fail every time.-Saline Courier.
 If our farmer readers will read and study the above closely they will ind it full of good practical thought and worthy of consideration. Now that new era of political management has dawned let 4 new era of practical farm ng be inaugurated. d.-Paragould Press.

THEY DID MY LORD

Did the Democratic newspapers do their full share of work in the late
 campaignP In all the political history
 of tlie country they never did more
 effective work. It was remarked a thousand times that it was the most quiet campaign ever known. The people did not go beside themselves and shout and hurrah as in other cam paigns. Some of the papers said they were indifferent to the issues involved, and others declared that it was a clear
 case of "apathy." But it was not. The people heard the public speakers on both sides, and day by day they quietly read the newspapers, calmly made up their minds from the argu- ments presented to them, and then as quietly went to the polls and deposited a.secret ballot. Never in the history of the country has the Democratic press done such good work.-L. R. Democrat.

A Few Suggestions to Farmer

Commence a compost heap.
 Dispose of yohr suiplns cattle. Repair your animals and poultry'' winter quarters.
 See that your farming tools are kept out of the weather. Flow deep while slnggards sleep. and you will have corn to sell and to keep.
 Cotton has disappointed you all yonr life. Make up your mind to raise less of it. and more of the farm products that you have been annually buying. Push your work so that the 25th day of December will find you free to enjoy the holidays and greet 1893 with a frightened spirit add the determination to make the farm more self-sustaining than it was in 1892.
 In your social gatherings and by your firesides, discuss the subject of better roads and how they can be secured Organized effort is the only way to &C., complish such momentous object. and good roads are of vital importance to the farmers of Arkansas.
 Do not depend upon the success of any political party to pay of your in debtedness and start you on the high road to prosperity. We'll directed la bor should be your platform. hard licks your ballots. and they should be cast for economy and independence
