 As this part of the county has not been heard from in some time you may have come to the conclu- sion that we are all dead as Col. Ben Young reported about q year ago.
 Farming IS progressing. l don't think there will be any idle land this season Tn this community. It is all rented for the third and fourth. There will be great deal of oats, peas clover and grass sown this spring. john Burnett is going to SOW 50 acres. There will not be one half the usual amount of cotton planted this year, and we would be better of if there was not seed planted.
 dreamed dreamthe other night. 1 thought I would be 54 years of age the 18th day of May. 1 thought l had been in Arkansas 50 years and hadneyer had an office aud had never been asked to run for office except in the Confederate army. There l was elected fourth corporal There are living witnesses to testify whether I filled the office or not, namely, W. W. Watkins and Uncle Jack Pullen. About thls time l woke up and told my wife of tue dream and she said If l were you l would run for the legislature, and l told her it was more than likely that would make the race. ney- CT have lived in township in my life where we had an office higher than constable or justice of the peace. Now, we are getting tired of this kind of business. Here is Griffin township right above us and she is getting tired too. So it looks very hard that men win come into our country and think they ought to be put right into office and kept there as long as they live and give no one else chance. l am willing to sup port our county officers from county judge down but shall expect help for help. l am willing to support K. B. Hogins for secretary of state. So if tue people want to send me down there send me for 1 have no aowery speeches to make nor good promises, but they can do by me as they have done by others heretofore they can try me, and if should lack anything on my part 1 can do as others have done before can em- ploy help for l have a slight acquaint- ance down there. 1 don't think it necessary to go to Johnson county to see who we should send to the legislature. have served my coun- try good while and $200 day is the highest ever received for my labor and that was for iuryman and I am tired of such business. So as l am getting old I would like to increase my salary and get $6 in- stead of $2 once In my life before I die. shall expect help from Jim Harkey as his wife and my wife are cousins, and if should be elected Harkey and l will rent house and camp together down there.
 am tired of men coming around telling big flowery tales of what they are going to do, and never doing them. I don't expect to tell any my self because men don't know what they can do until they try and that Is all the promise I can make. I will promise one thing however and that is wlll bring one half my wages back and spend it In my own county. If I should make the race I don't ex pect to run around over the country and try to get the people confused, telling them what l am going co do and never doing what I promise.
