All Who Come Are Satisfied.

We observe, says the Little Rock
Democrat, that certain Nebraskans and
others of that section who have mani
tested a hostile spirit towards ArlSan-
sas and have on numerous occasions en-
deavored to dissuade northern farmers
from coming here to seek homes, are
making great deal % capital out of the
drouth prevalent this year in Arkansas.
We would say to them that if our crops
were never better than they are now,
and the Lord knows they are bad
enough, Arkansas is still preferable to
Nebraska. We prefer an occasional
dry hot summer here to the annual win
ter billiards. and blighting summers
there. We have not heard Of any Of
the northern farmers who came here
two and three years ago seeking to re-
turn to their forsaken homes in the
North. They will stay through the
drouth and prosper in the future
