The white Cappers" on the
Arkansas and Louisiana line, are
doing that part of the country a
great injury by running the negroes
away from the saw mills. Mr.. Buch-
anan, of our city had his ar
rangements made to build a mill on
the line OF the terminus of the Tex
arkana & Shreveport road, but
that Garfield shooting has taken
the notion out of his head, If the
state or county authorities will not
put down this lawlessness, they can
never expect to have same improv-
ed. The "White Cappers" should
be run down and punished.

BACK TAXES.

We have all felt the hand Of the
oppressor when We failed TO pay
our taxes on the dot. The cost aud
fees being made double what the
taxes should be, and the state and
county gets none of this, but it
goes to pay lot of hungry officials.
We see that over in Tennessee it is
worse,I and God knows it is bad
enough in Arkansas. The Memphis
Commercial-Appeal cites the follow
ing case:
A man was assessed on property
worth S45. The state and county
tax was 46 cents. The tax was due
in the fall of 1895. To pay 1t in the
fall of 1896 required the following:

Notaa ON Small Fruit.

For largest yield Of perfect berries,
two favorable seasons are necessary.
The first to perfect the root. the plant
and the fruit bud. The root is the
foundation on which future success de-
pends The tint of flower and perfec-
ton of fruit proceeds from the root. Its
best development requires fine. rich
soil, plenty of moisture and frequent
cultivation. With good roots, vigorous
plants and canes may be expected.
Vigorous canes we'll pruned, free from
weeds and grass and having sufficient
room to grow, will form many strong
vigorous buds for next seasons fruit.
These fruit buds are promises OF fu-
ture payment and tho first seasons
work is not done until they are care
fully prepared for their long winter
sleep. The second season is repeti-
ton Of the first. as the same care that
natures this years plant also natures
fruit on last years cane. The fruit
grower should then remember that in
preparing the soil, in selecting plants,
in hoeing, cultivating, pruning, thinning
of fruit, protection. and in every little
detail, he is performing an important
part in the quality and quantity Of his
fruit one or two years hence. Neglect
the work but single week. and like
an ugly thread woven into beautiful

grow good fruit. In many parts of the
northwest, Strawberries have been al
most a failure because Of imperfect root
growth last year. In many cases even
staminate varieties were so weak and
pollen so impotent, they could not fer
tilixe their own blossoms. Lack Of pol
lenization is the direct cause Of failure.
This weakness Of root growth extends
to new setting this year. and great
care will be necessary even under favor
able circumstances. to place new beds
in good condition for next years. fruit
