IN response to the call of Governor Clarke for a Good Roads convention to assemble in Little Rock on February D, mention of which was made in these columns last.week, Judge J. :. k Cowan has appointed the following delegates from this county: John Gatling, J. D. Baugh, ]. ". Beck. J. E. Hodges. T. ]. lYithers, T. O. Fitz- patrick, W. II. Pearce. Dr. J. R. West. r. w. DeRosSitt. Dan Wylds. ]. b Sulcer. A. c. Wood. E T. Gray, and F. L. Nadakin. Of course. it may be impossible for some of these to go. but this convention is one of the most i'm portant meetings which will occur in the state this year. Of greater inn portance than the state political con ventions, elections. or other things and all of the above and as many others as conveniently can, should at tend, by all means. Good roads. and good road laws are unknown in Arkan- sas. except in spots" We hope to see some of the spots at this cop yention. and that out of the multitude of reason will come wisdom and wise suggestions.

That genial poet and friend of chill
dren, the late Eugene Field, in his
Love Affairs of a Blibliomaniac"
makes the suggestion that if he were
even 10 be put upon a school board he
would Danish ali such dull studies as
arithmetic and give the scholars Il
three or four years course in fairy
tales. Perhaps the length Of time is
rather out Of proportion, but many
who enjoy air. Fields writings, but
cannot put things so f~unuily are dis
posed TO take this seriously. They
think that a course in fairy tales
would BE beneficial to some of the
matter Of fact young people who are
losing so much Of the beauty around
them. Authorities differ as to what
becomes OF fairies during the winter.
One modern writer declares that she
has seen the capitol grounds at Wash
ington decked out for a fairies bail,
held during the Washington season.
These grounds, by the way, are par
ticularly beautiful in winter. Owing
to it's peculiar situation Washington
has considerable tropical foliage and
yet enjoys northern frOSts and SHOWS.
Tie bah TuCm was described rs set
with green bushes, every leaf of which
reelected all the coIors Of the rain

Washington children believe that con
Gress built The grotto in the capitol

is Il sort Of aeolian harp hidden in the
inuormost roceases and the wind plays
| upon it, which adds TO the Wicrd beau
ty Of the place and encourages The be
lief that it is the homo Of the fairies.
IN old poet declares:

No key hole will be fairy proof
When green leaves come again.
So wherever they may be at present,

identity, lie 500 had several badly
wrecked hats to his credit. He then
encountered an elderly citizen of port

whose looks, however. belied his char

yious years, and was resolved to teach
his t~Ormcntors q lesson. So he had
made 4 sort of leather skull cap, thick
