TnE REPLY.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Sept. 30. 1896. ''C T. Robinson, Esq, Pine Bluff, Ark:
 Dear Sir-Your favor of the 29th inst. in reference to policy on the life of Mr. Garrett received. In answer would say that the company's draft for $4.92035 is on the National Shoe and Leather Bank, of New York. If you will collect this draft from tRe New York bank in treasury notes or greenbacks, you can exchange these notes at tho Sub-Treasury in New York for gold. This you are enabled to do because the country is on a gold basis, but should Mr. Bryan be elected and the country go upon a silver basis, you would no longer be able to obtain gold from the Unlted States Treasury.
 "Had your brother-in-aw died after November next and thecountry in the meantime gone upon a silver basis, the policy would have been paid to your sister in depreciated currency, while the premiums were paid during the life of Mc. Garrett in gold or it's equivalent. You can readily see how ut present the parity of the two metals is maintained
 The moral, therefore, is-vote for sound money and maintain the pres ent standard. Yours very truly,

AS arkansas Does il.

Arkansas Is thoroughly alive to
the advantages of advertising. Just
as soon as an Arkansan Of enough
importance to ge; his name in the
paper finds himself in a western or
an eastern city he begins to talk
about the growth Of his state, so that
any reporter who may happen about
can get the full benefit of his res
marks,
Mlssouri's neighbor is on the up'
grade, and the plan which has been
adopted without cullusion Is at the
same time the cheapest and the best.
1t is the kind Of advertising money
will not buy, and for that reason all
the more effective.
Several Arkansans, full of enthu>
siasm, were engaged in the popular
diversion of booming their state in
Washington the other day and one
of them informed reporter for the
Post that if the present immi g, alton
rate was maintained 100000 settlers
would come to the state during the
year 1896.
These immigrants, he declared
come from Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and the northern states, and have
discovered that five acre strawber
~ field in Arkansas is better pay
ing investment, year in and year ont
than 100 acre farm IN their forme,
homes.
In the newspaper discussions OF
the remarkable growth of the oath
much attention has been paid to the
development of the agricultural
staples and the progress of manu-
features. While these have indeed
been remarkable, the late discovery
that the fruit and vegetable markets
of the populous eastern cities car
best be supplied from the south ha'
been a potent factor in increasing
the southern population.
Farmers with small capital car
get large dividends IN this way thar
any other.
The cost of respectable living IN
the south has been reduced TO a
minimum. 1t does not require all
the farmers surplus from the crop
sales to provide fuel and wraps for
the winter, and the truck garden
will feed the family the year found
asst. Louis Republic.

-EsSay on Young Steers.

Young steers are domestic AMI
mails and are like old steers except
that they are smaller. They have
four legs, two ears, two short horns,
if they are not muley steers, and
two ewes, if the boys don't punch
them out in breaking them.
Did you ever try to break woke
of young steers? If you haven't
you needn't want to. Not long ago
father bad yoke of steers, that he
wanted brother and ! to break. So
one evening he made US an OK yoke
and we thought that would be a
good time to break them. SO with
the aid of a few shucks we got
them between the cribs corn cribs,
not infant cribs an! after a good
deal of work we got them yoked.
As was the youngest, let broth
er lead them while | drove.
Now, as young ANIMALS don't
generally lead well, brother tied
The rope around his waist to keeT
it from cutting his hands. But
these steers were exceptions; they
hadn't gone but a short distance
until they were leading brother.
About the first thing they die
vast to run over fathers straw
stack, which was about fifteen tee,
high, and the next thing brother
touched was persimmon tree a,
the back of the orchard. He did
not stay there long, as the steer
seemed to be IN hurry. Next II
seemed as If they wanted to teacf
him to jnmp, for they carried hlu
over a blrG about twenty feet high
Now, my brother is not a very goo(
boy, and I guess the steers though,
he ought to be immersed; so the,
dragged him into the creek an(
dragged him down it about fifty
Yards. Then they thought he want
ed some blackberres. Young steer'
don't know much; they though,
there was backberries in winter
same as IN summer; so they carried
HIM through the patch,
Finally the steers made a turn fol
the house, and abont that time fa'
ther appeared upon the scene.
guess be thought brother had work
ed the steers long enough, for hi
yelled "whoa" at the top of his voice
but the steers paid no attention tc
hlm. They were headed for the
wild rose thlcket in the suburbs ol
the potato patch; but fortunately
Tor brother, just before they reached
the th,cket the rope broke. That
was the last we heard Of those steers
for three days,
Brother and | (brother especially
have concluded that IL is cheaper To
buy old steers than TO break young
ones. -. Y. in Jonesboro Times.
