]. D. sanderson for Postmaster

In another column we give pro
ceedings of the Democratic County
Central Committee, held Saturday
afternoon. AS six members Of the
committee did not vote to endorse
Mr.. j. d. Sanderson for postmaster
we desire to explain same: All Of the
gentlemen thus voting against endorse
ment, had previously signed petition
for his appointment to the position
and we learn, said just before the
committee met, that they were foi
him, ana would write personal letters
for him, if necessary but was oppos-
ed to endorsement ON account of the
precedent it would establish.
Mr.. Sanderson is fine business
man-is both worthy and fully COM
petent, to fill the office of postmaster
He has done yeoman service for De
mocracy, ana certainly deserves rec
ognition now. The DEMOCRAT trusts
he will receive the appointment with
out opposition.
All of the Democratic organizations,
clubs, etc, in Miller county, have en-
dorsed him, and the entire bar Of the
county with one exception, did the
same. Every business man on the
East side, VIC learn, has signed petit
tion for his appointment; about 800
good citizens Of the county, have
signed such petition. All this should
certainly secure his appointment.

A Disturbance

isn't what you want, if your stomach
and bowels are irregular. That's
about all you get though, with the
ordinary pill. 1t may relieve you for
a moment, but you're usually In a
worse state afterward than before.
That is just where DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets do most good. They
act in an easy and natural way, very
different from the huge, old-fashioned
pills. They're not only pleasanter but
there's no reaction afterward, and
their help lasts. One little sugar
coated pellet for gentle laxative or
corrective-three for cathartic. Con-
stipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
Dizziness, Sick and Bilious Headaches
are promptly rclived aud cured.
They're the smallest, the easiest to
take-and the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is return
ed.
You pay only for the good you get.

Col. Joe G.. Kelso and the Gate City
National Bank.

Col. Joe G. Kelso, President Of the
Gate City National Bank, of Toxar-
kama, was over Monday, on business,
giving our office a pleasant call. We
interviewed him as to the business
outlook of his bank, his reported loss
es in the First National Bank of Little
Rock, and casually referred to his re-
cent financial troubles in Magnolia
In substance he replied;
"The Gate City National Bank is
doing well, and feel sure will con.
tinue to get better. Its stock is above
par value now, and but little, If any
can be bought. In the failure Of the
First National Bank | did not lose
anythink. The note placed in pur-
chasing my $4,000 stock had beer
paid in full, and ] had sold my stock
in the bank before the failure. SO
lose nothing on this score. AS to my
Indebtedness here, every dollar Of il
is paid, and | now authorize you tC
say that ! will pay 800 for each 81
that | owe, my taxes excepted, and
authorize you to pay them"
We will do so, and hope the Gate
City National and its president may
ever be crowned with good luck
Magnolia Banner.
The above high compliment to Col
Kelso and the Gate City NatiOna
Bank, we reproduce with pleasure
Col Kelso is a fine financier, and al
enterprising, sagacious business man
AS the Gate City is the only bank OF
the East side, our citizens should bt
proud of 1T, and encourage and lib
orally patronize 1t. We are truly
glad to know it is doing well, and
trust it will go onward and upward
in its prosperity.

A DESIRABLE COUNTRY.
The Best Poor Mans Land in the
United States.


United States.
In another column we print letter
from a prominent Georgia farmer to
Mr.. L. l.. Starkes of this place, on the
subject of immigrating to this coun-
try, and for his benefit, as well as
thousands of others, we will tell of a
few of the advantages of this country,
as compared with that of Georgia and
other old States, and also, incidentally,
with that of TEXAS.
The writer is a native Georgian
lived there until we were 27 yers of
age. We know the situation of the
poor man in that and adjacent States.
The farmer there, if not land owner,
is virtually slave, and not one in
hundred ever rises. Thousands are
annually losing their farms and be-
coming paupers. Lands are al
most worn out, and altogether unpre-
ductive, unless fertilized with guano
to the extent of from So to $3.50 per
acre each year; it is also high, consid-
ering its fertility, ranging in price
from $40 to $50 an acre, anywhere
near railroad. The price paid for
labor is low, and the farmer works
from day-break until dark all the year
round, and then fails to make a living.
Now as 20 Southwest Arkansas and
Northwest Texas: We have good pro-
ductive lands, that requireno guano or
fertilizing, which can be bought I'M
proved at from So to $l5 per acre;
have good health, good water good
schools, good society, plenty of timber,
and a mild, equable climate. A total
failure of any crop is unknown here,
and half crop is better than full
crop in the old States; cotton averages
half bale per acre, and corn from Is
to 40 bushels per acre. Have plenty
of game and fish. Farmers work from
SIX to eight months per year, and do
well. A Georgia farmer can, in five
years time, by expending the same
labor here as in Georgia, own his own
farm and be independent. We have
known this done time and again.
Lands can be bought on easy pay
ments. Labor is much better paid
here, though it s.not high.
Now as to Texas fine prairie
lands: First, it is high-priced-from
1926 to $50 per acre-out of the reach
of a poor man. Second, there is no
timber, and fuel---fences and buildings
are consequently costly. Third, the
winds of winter bring down upon the
people severe "northers," causing sick
ness, etc. Fourth, water is generally
alkali, and hence unhealthy as well as
oftimes causing much
sickness. Southwest Arkansas and
Northwest Texas have none Of these
strong disadvantages.
In conclusion, we have travelled all
over every State in the Union, save
two or three, and unhesitatingly say
that, taking everything into consider
alton, this is the best poor mans coun-
try to be found. We know whereof
we speak, and we only regret that the
of good farmers passing
through here every year are not made
acquainted with the true facts as they
exist, so that they might be benefited
thereby, and likewise benefit us by
settling up and developing our coun-
try.
With our printing presses and mail
facilities, our people are to be blamed
for the general ignorance existing in
the old States as to our advantages. A
thousand dollars, properly expended,
would bring as many good families
here.

TRADE AND COMMERCE..

j.. w. Harrison's San Francisco trade
circular for last week, contains the fol-
lowing : During the week there have
been the following arrivals; From the
Coast mines. 1873 tons; from foreign
sources, $40 tons. The continued in
clement weather has increased the con-
sumption of domestic grades, but the
general consumption is considerably
less than the first quarter of 1892. Our
arrivals this week have been small,
hence there Is no accumulation In
yards, In fact there are some grades
that are in very light supply, but they
can be substituted by others OF an al
most similar character. The wholesale
dealers r complaining Of trade gen.
orally, as sales r slim, collections are
light, and profits are cut too fine.
There is so much apathy In the future
of grain freights. the same feeling is
conveyed TO coal freights; hence but
little contracting Is being done for flu
ture delivery. 1t would certainly APP
pear that no mistake could possibly be
made by ordering freely for future re-
quirements upon the basis of the exist
Ing freight rates from England and
Australia, yet our largest consumers
are holding Off, anticipating a conun-
uance OF low prices. High outward
grain freights would justify their po-
sition. but present rates should OBJ
tain otherwise, The burning Of an Aus
tralian coal ship has surprised every
one In the trade; insurance risks here
tofone on this. trade have been profit
able. seldom a casualty Of any char
occurring.
